Nothing Short of Life-Changing

The three-hour seminar with my composition students was nothing short of life-changing for them as you unlocked aspects of composing for the piano that they had never before considered. That you spent so much focused individual time with each of them made an indelible impression on us all. You made each student aware of his/her gifts as a young composer. The way you offered criticism was supportive and non-threatening, and you did it with a grace that proved to them beyond any doubt that you were their ally.

Ability to Inspire Students

Jeffrey has an unusually fine ability to inspire students not merely to play the piano well, but to love doing it. His students were often the highlight of our student recitals. He worked equally well with small children and with older adults at all stages of development. Our enrollment figures in piano nearly doubled the semester that he joined our staff. Jeffrey was especially valuable to us for his sincere interest in his students. He invariably gave extra time to students in need.

Highest Admiration

I have the highest admiration for Jeffrey Chappell's artistry. He has a complete command of the piano, and his repertoire is large and unusually varied. His refined technique and communicative skills are equally strong in Mozart, Chopin, Ravel, and Brubeck. In addition, Jeffrey has a most inquiring mind and has probed a wide range of subjects both in and outside the field of music. He is a warm and congenial person with a high degree of professional ethics.

Stellar Credits

You may already be familiar with Mr. Chappell's stellar credits as a concert pianist, recording artist, composer, ensemble musician, jazz pianist, and author. What can I contribute? The perspective of a colleague. I have heard him improvise fugues, perform major concerti and recitals (including his own compositions), direct student jazz ensembles, and lecture in classroom settings. His classes are the most popular in our department and the students adore him. The college administration has even asked him to lead seminars to help train new faculty members. Best of all, he possesses a dry wit tempered by an unerring sense of tact and propriety.

Mastery at Teaching

I have marveled at Jeffrey Chappell's ability to reflect the true meaning of The Levine School of Music's 'faculty/performer' to the highest quality level. His dedication to teaching his students in an inspiring manner, balanced with his international performance career is a tribute to his extraordinary professionalism. I have received more letters/comments from parents and the students in Jeffrey's studio that rave about his rapport with his students, and his ability to inspire the students to push themselves "beyond" what they believed that could accomplish pianistically. His students always received the highest remarks/scores in their juries, and were exquisitely prepared for the student recitals they participated in. I also witnessed Jeffrey's mastery at teaching not only of our private piano students, but traditional and jazz theory and ensembles -- all levels, all skills, all ages. Jeffrey did it with not only panache but with excellence and innovation -- always willing to find unique ways to inspire our students.
