About Shy
I earned my BFA in Classical Piano from the City College of New York, where I graduated with the highest honors (Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa). I earned scholarships and awards every semester in all these fields, including the ASCAP Chappell Award for Composition. I majored in classical piano, but also learned orchestration, composition, Schenkerian Analysis, 20th century theory, Conducting and more. Teaching has always been a joy of mine and I plan on doing this throughout my career.

Beyond being knowledgeable in all the areas I teach (graduated with the highest honors and received awards and scholarships every semester), I am very sensitive to every students' needs, and believe there is more than one way to reach proficiency. Once we sort out all the basics, I always like to defer to my students (children and adults alike) in terms of what they would like to play. Many students find it surprising that they can play their favorite songs (even if it does not have piano in it), and it makes them very engaged in their studies.

Shy is among the most artistically gifted people I have ever encountered. With brilliance and sensitivity, he opens new worlds for his students. Shy sparked -in my own children- a love of music that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Shy is an amazing instructor and I recommend him to people of all ages who want to learn to play the piano. He is patient, warm, very knowledgeable, and he makes learning fun!
I’m a pro drummer. I’ve worked with tons of famous people both live and recording. I play with Shy Kedmi a lot! Both live and recording. If you want to be a working pianist, contact Shy. If you want to work on technical skills, contact Shy. If you’d like to know what being amazingly creative, rhythmic and above all musical with the freedom to speak on your instrument, contact Shy. If you want to see how deep you can go while improvising, contact Shy. Classical training? Contact Shy. I’m a pro drummer for life. Shy is my favorite keyboard player hands down, in any style to play, hang & work with. He’s the most musical guy I know and a really kind soul as well. Please, take advantage of his abilities and become the best you can be, through him. Everything I’ve mentioned here is absolutely true and I mean every word of it. Love him so much on too many levels.
When I first met Shy, I had taken private lessons with different instructors and had some college musical training. I played Salsa, Merengue, and other Latin rhythms, as well as some Jazz with different bands. I was never introduced to proper posture and technique when playing the piano, which sadly caused me to suffer injuries that may be irreversible. Why do I highly recommend Shy? Because he was the first instructor who immediately noticed my lack of posture and technique at the piano and gave me awareness exercises to show me how playing the piano should feel. He worked with me patiently and scrupulously, paying attention to every movement from my shoulders to the tip of my fingers making sure that I was doing my exercises correctly. Although it has taken me a while to perfect my technique, the lessons with this great instructor have helped me improve my performance at the piano without pain and effortlessly.
Taking Lessons with Shy was one of the greatest musical endeavors I have ever undertaken. Under his knowledgeable guidance I was able to hone in on rudimentary skills and fundamentals such as skills, dynamics, and sight reading but also practice things like rhythm and ear training. After just a couple lessons with Shy my playing improved immensely and I still think and use the things that I learned from him to this day. What’s great about Shy’s approach to music is his undivided attention to his students and his ability to meet you where you are at. It’s no secret that Shy is an incredible player and improviser, but more than this, Shy is a great teacher. His ability to effectively communicate his ideas is a true gift. His patience and compassionate attitude makes any student (of any skill) feel comfortable in their playing and in themselves. I am so glad to have met Shy at such a formative time in my piano journey. I am deeply grateful to Shy for the time we spent together and can’t more highly recommend Shy.
Shy Kedmi is our extraordinary piano teacher. I liked him so much that my husband also decided to take piano lessons. He allows us to explore many different genres in music, including classic, rock, and pop. As a professional musician who performs, he also gives us practical tips. Unlike other piano teachers who are too hard-nosed, he is supportive and makes us feel like we are doing well. Getting confidence is everything. And he’s just so nice! So we highly recommend him, if you wanted to be encouraged rather than being discouraged. Thank you Shy, Barbie and Bruce
Shy was one of the best piano teachers I had the privilege of working with, especially coming from a more European background. His patience and good manners really helped me in learning some of my favorite piano tunes. I would recommend Shy as a piano teacher to anyone (age doesn't matter), as his experience and teaching skills are above magnificent.
