Hi! I'm Eddie Z. a native of New York City. Currently, I'm studying with Paul Jacobs at the Juilliard school for a BM/MM degree. I love teaching the organ, and believe that music written for the organ is so rich and requires a special approach to achieve maximum musicality. In addition to having performed in cities throughout North America, such as New York (St. Patrick's Cathedral), New Haven (Church of the Redeemer), Montreal (St. James United), and Eugene (First United Methodist Church), I've also performed in China at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, Beijing Concert Hall, and Beijing Golden Sail Concert Hall. I have won first prize at the 2018 Albert Schweitzer Organ Competition, the 2019 Brooklyn AGO Organ Scholarship Competition, and the 2019 AGO Quimby Northeast Regional Competition. I attended the Juilliard Pre-College division for two years, studying with Matthew Lewis. Currently, I am the Artist-in-Residence at the Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church in Manhattan. I've also maintained a career in the music production world, collaborating with hip hop and jazz artists on innovative compositions. When not playing organ, I love cycling, gardening, and brewing espresso. I'm looking forward to teaching you some organ music. Hope we have a chance to meet!

Thanks for great teaching so far! Eddie is a great player with an impressive background. I’m looking forward to more lessons.
Super patient and attentive! I'm a composer/pianist who haven't played the organ for last ten years. I reached out to him on short notice prior to my audition, and he gave me a huge help in such a short time- we went through the pieces that I prepared focusing on differences between piano playing and organ playing, legato and pedal techniques (and I got the sub organist position :) Thanks, Eddie- you helped me make the transition!
very helpful. The teacher is very experienced, he taught me how to set the registration without access the organ during the class. He also provided the notations to play the pedals. He helped me with notes and sent it to me after the class. He will plan for all things and the only thing i need to do is practicing. Highly recommended.
