Our Teaching Method

Many of our piano faculty studied under the leadership of former Piano department chairman Maestro German Diez (June 18, 1924-July 9, 2014) during his 65-year tenure. Maestro Diez formed much of what we, at GHMS, consider our teaching method, which advocates for a rigorous approach to the instrument with an open heart, designed to teach respect for music and a lifelong love of the arts. In 2024, GHMS established the German Diez Memorial Piano Chair position, with a fund to support the new chair, as well as piano scholarships based on both merit and need.
