Josh & Erin Kludy

Josh’s bio:

“For over a decade, I have taught students of all levels the traditional Grand Manner style of playing. My mentors and coaching include many illustrious artist teachers such as Ruth Yandell, Nelita True, Robert Hamilton.

As a performer, I have worked with multiple charities and organizations to bring classical music into the post-modern world through schools, non-profits, and more. I have been noted by many distinguished pianists, such as Paul Harvey Jr., for possessing a golden singing tone with a wide range of colors.

The traditional Grand Manner style utilizes the proven old Russian method of piano teaching combined with a disciplined focus on form, fluidity of motion, and the principle of a Golden singing tone.”

Erin’s Bio:

“For over 5 years, I have taught students of all levels the Russian method of piano technique. As a trained concert pianist, my passion is for piano students to find their correct form, fluidity of movement, and a Golden Sound through my expertise in the Grand Manner technique.

From touring coast to coast across the United States as a competition winner and performer, I have been noted by many leaders in the piano world, such as acclaimed pianist Robert Hamilton for ‘capturing the spirit of Beethoven’ in my performance of the Waldstein sonata.” Erin’s teachers included Juliana Kraver, Charles Szczepanek, Ruth Yandell, and Robert Hamilton
