About Mr. Jeffrey

Jeffrey Myers has been active as both a music instructor and recitalist for over two decades. As a piano teacher, he founded Sol Music, Erie Piano Academy, and the Neal A. Myers Foundation for Music Education. He has instructed over a thousand piano students in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Arizona. As a classroom instructor, he has been on the faculties of the Brooklyn Conservatory Preparatory Division, Mercyhurst College D’Angelo School of Music, Arizona School for the Arts, and Veritas Preparatory Academy.

Mr. Myers’ recent performance of Mozart’s piano concerto in A Major, K.488, broadcast on public radio (WQLN classical radio) enjoyed the review “Myers’ performance was better than any of the recordings" (radio personality Bob Eaton). Dr. Timothy Kalil, pianist, and founder of the Kent State University Ashtabula Classical Concert Series, hailed Jeffrey Myers’ performance saying "Kent State has discovered a new Major young American Concert Pianist".

In October 2013, Maestro Myers performed Sergei Rachmaninoff’s piano concerto no. 2 in C minor, Opus 18, as visiting artist during the inaugural season of the Lund Center for the Performing Arts, under the auspices of Great Hearts at the Veritas Quayle Campus, in Phoenix, Arizona. By invitation ‘only’, Jeffrey made his Steinway of Phoenix solo piano recital debut in April of 2010. In October 2009, he was honored with a special invitation to perform solo piano music at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts (Scottsdale, Arizona).

Jeffrey started his piano studies at age thirteen. In 1997 he was one of a small number of American pianists admitted to the Master of Music program at New York’s prestigious Manhattan School of Music. The response to Myers' audition for the Chautauqua Institute for the Performing Arts (Chautauqua, New York) created quite the spectacle as he spent the full summer studying and performing there on full scholarship during the 1992 Festival. The following season witnessed his orchestral debut performing Franz Liszt’s piano concerto # 1 in Eb Major with the D’Angelo Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Frank Collura (Erie, Pennsylvania).

Jeffrey gave his professional American debut with Mozart’s piano concerto no. 23 in A Major, K. 488, with the Erie Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Bruce Morton Wright (Erie, Pennsylvania) in 2000. He performed piano and violin chamber music programs at Kent State University’s KSUA Classical Concert Series (in 2003 and 2002), throughout the region, and on live public radio. In 2009, Mr. Myers performed music for piano and trumpet on the Steinway of Phoenix Concert Series, the Phoenix College Visiting Artist Recital Series, and at the Arizona School for the Arts. He has given many other performances throughout the US. Born in Pennsylvania, Jeffrey Myers makes his home in Phoenix, Arizona.

His teachers include Oxana Yablonskaya and Arkady Aronov (pedagogues of the legendary Russian tradition), Sam Rotman, and Peter Tacaks.

Mr. Myers was listed in “Who’s Who” in America since 2004.
