Her dissertation, published by Cambridge University Press, will soon be released in paperback. She has taught piano at Canada College, the University of Santa Clara, and the University of Wyoming, where she also did extensive accompanying for graduate students and other faculty members. She has also coached ensembles at the Humboldt State Chamber Music Workshop. Since returning to the Bay Area, Dr. Snook-Luther has maintained an active studio of 30-40 students, who present formal recitals several times a year and also share their music less formally at nursing homes etc. Most students participate in the Spring Auditions of the American Guild of Piano Teachers, and several are active in Competitions sponsored by Youth Focus, where one of her students recently was awarded a Double Grand Championship (a perfect score from all judges). Susan's Studio Motto is "Exploring Musical Paths; Sharing Musical Gifts". Piano students range in age from four years to adult, and from beginners to advanced players. Classical music is emphasized, but students are encouraged to try different musical styles, duet playing, theory and composition, and to recognize music as a gift to be shared. Voice or Piano Lessons Studio hours are flexible, but lessons are not available on Sunday.
Dr. Snook-Luther is in Saratoga and can be contacted at 408-205-1299. |
