Abstract: Musicians come to New York from all over the world to study with renowned music teachers. This thesis investigates the pedagogical ideas and backgrounds of four of today's successful New York piano teachers. Through interviews, attendance at lessons, and discussions with pupils and teachers, the various methodologies and pedagogical techniques of Arkady Aronov, Martin Canin, Gilbert Kalish, and Herbert Stessin are examined. Their ideas and teaching styles are documented, including their opinions on issues such as repertoire, recordings, competitions, talent, and life in music in the late twentieth century. To place this material in historical context, this thesis also examines the relationship of the four interviewed piano teachers to their predecessors.
