About Deirdre T.

4.9
(16)
Languages have always fascinated me. Music is a language, a universal one. Traveling a lot as a child, I studied French, German, and Twi when I had a semester studying dance & drumming in Ghana. Classical Spanish music is what originally hooked me on the piano and later the world of flamenco ensnared me. For 18 years, I produced the internationally touring Dance on Camera Festival, co-produced by Film at Lincoln Center. My experience teaching has been very rewarding as I always discover new worlds through my students.

I have a sensitive 6 year old girl who's shy of strangers and I was worried before the lesson that she might not participate. When Deirdre arrived my daughter immediately warmed to her and had a wonderful lesson. It was a special moment for her and for me as I am a lifelong pianist.

Mar, 2010

ACMP — The Chamber Music Network is a non-profit organization that facilitates informal music-making by people of all ages and nationalities, from beginners to professionals. Founded as a non-profit organization in 1947, ACMP, originally the Amateur Chamber Music Players, was the idea of Leonard Strauss, an American businessman whose work frequently included travel. Tired of practicing alone in hotel rooms, he dreamed of a network of musicians who could contact each other for chamber music sessions while at home or “on the road.”
