Musical Chairs

Those who keep up with my news will remember that I was hired as Director of the Collegiate Chorale at Stonehill College back in 2014, just in time to start teaching the 2015 spring semester (http://paulcienniwa.com/news/blog/paul-cienniwa-appointed-director-of-the-collegiate-chorale-at-stonehill-college).

On a different note, in February I started teaching private piano one day a week at the Music School of the Rhode Island Philharmonic. The last time I had a studio of pianists was around 1997, when I was a graduate student at Yale. Twenty years later, I find that I really enjoy the teaching. I have enjoyed it so much that, starting in September, I will be teaching four days a week. I can't say enough good things about the Music School. (I just served as a coach for their summer chamber music camp for children and adults. What a wonderful experience!)

As a result, I have left Stonehill College to develop my private teaching studio. It's still June, but I can honestly say that I am looking forward to the fall!
