About me
Noah Ernest Epstein began playing piano relatively late, at age 15, but progressed rapidly. Within three years he was double majoring in piano performance and composition on a full scholarship at the Fountain School of Performing Arts at Dalhousie University, studying under Lynn Stodola and Dr. Jerome Blais. A straight-A music student, he graduated with the High Mark of Distinction and went on to complete a graduate diploma at the University of Toronto.
He has performed over a dozen public recitals and fundraiser concerts, presenting classical repertoire alongside premieres of his own compositions. Noah plays at the ARCT level of the Royal Conservatory of Music, with a wide repertoire mastered through Grade 10 and ARCT.
With over 20 years of playing, writing and teaching experience, Noah has recorded Poetry Without Words, an album of original piano works that streams online. He teaches online globally, and offers in-person lessons in the HRM. He teaches with Coloratura and is currently accepting new students.
