David Liebman

FORMER STUDENTS SAY:
“Jeff Gardner, my first jazz piano teacher, was extremely valuable to me. It is a vast universe to explore, and Jeff was very methodical and clear. He was particularly good at giving me a clear understanding of the basics, without ever eliminating the fun and exciting aspect of being with the instrument.”
Jacky Terrasson
Recording artist for Verve (Universal Jazz)
“Jeff is one of the world’s greatest musicians and the best teacher of popular piano with whom I have had the opportunity to study. He has a highly refined teaching method, developed through his playing experience with world-renowned musicians, his constant study, and never-ending search for excellence in music education.”
Diogo Monzo
Professor of Music – Federal University of Goias
