Adrienne Schoenfeld is a teaching artist, composer, and bassist based in New York City. She has been teaching piano for five years, working with over 70 students to cultivate their love of music. She has a classical and improvisational background, with a Masters degree in Concert Composition from NYU Steinhardt and a Bachelors in Music from Berklee College of Music. Some of her recent performances include at the IRCAM Forum, with Noise Catalogue, at Ensemble Evolution led by the International Contemporary Ensemble, and with DUO BEAL/SCHOENFELD. Her music has been performed by Roadrunner Trio, The Rhythm Method, Hypercube, and BlackBox Ensemble, amongst others.

My philosophy is to meet students where they are in their musical education and work towards their personal goals. I customize lesson plans for each student based upon what they are hoping to achieve, their age, experience, and learning styles. Lessons include a combination of learning pieces, technique, and theory. The pieces we focus on are based on the music the student loves and deepening their understanding of music theory.
