Testimonials and reviews
Ms. Sombart has a highly unique way of thinking about music. Through her thought-provoking masterclasses, she has shared with us her invaluable insights on physical and technical aspects of piano playing as well as on how to understand and interpret music, both of which have helped me tremendously.
Yihao ZhouPianist, Juilliard School

Giuseppe MentucciaPianist and conductor, Staatsoper Berlin
Hearing Elizabeth Sombart play the piano was a revelation. Her masterclasses opened my ears to a more meaningful enjoyment of music. It changed my musical life.
Béatrice LéopoldMusic lover, Paris, France
The wisdom shared in these videos has perspectives for every learner; Sombart gives advice about technique, sound, harmony, interpretation, and emotion. I loved watching them and most of all was inspired by her demonstrations at the piano, just as she inspires the student pianists to greater heights in their own playing.

Elizabeth Sombart
Pianist Elizabeth Sombart is world-renowned for her distinctive touch, intense focus, and highly sensitive playing style. She has developed a unique teaching method called Pédagogie Résonnance, based on the principles of musical phenomenology, which seeks to create unity between musical intention, technique and technique and how to breath the musical phrase.
