Teaching
I can help you achieve your goals, whether you're a child just beginning to learn, a talented youngster exploring music seriously, or an adult returning to the keyboard after many years.
I have a master's degree in piano from one of the top music conservatories and am an active performer. Most of all, I have a wealth of experience bringing out the best in students by tailoring my approach to their goals and ability, individual learning styles and musical interests - be they classical, pop, jazz, musical theater or cinema.
I can work with you if you only have a limited amount of time to practice but want to experience the fun of making music. I can also prepare gifted students for concerts and competitions.
Lessons are at my Cherry Hill, NJ, studio, which is convenient to the greater Philadelphia area and residents of Camden, Gloucester and Burlington Counties in New Jersey.

Diane has been teaching our daughter for 2 years and is amazing. Sarah has perfect pitch, but was reluctant to learn to read music. Diane is a patient and creative teacher who adapts her teaching based on your child's personality and skill set.

Diane Goldsmith is the best piano teacher I have ever had—and I have had several. Drawing upon a deep fund of musical knowledge and technique, she has helped me stretch and refine my skills so that I have made much more progress than I expected when I began studying with her! She is patient and encouraging—and is also flexible in regard to logistical issues, which is very helpful! In addition, she is a brilliant pianist, which may not be required for teaching piano but is certainly a plus! I would recommend Diane to anyone—from children to adults, from beginners to people who are already playing at an advanced level, all the way up to people seeking a professional career in music!

My son has been learning piano with Ms. Diane for four years now and I’m glad we chose her. She knows how to handle youngsters. She always encourages him, gives him little pushes if he slacking off, and compliments him when he plays well. Ms. Diane makes him progress beautifully.

I am an adult intermediate student that recently returned to the piano after taking a few years off for a lack of progress. I decided a new instructor was in order, and I found a dynamic instructor with a very patient approach. Diane Goldsmith understands what holds me back and helps me structure my practices so that I overcome my technical difficulties. She encourages me to enjoy the instrument by tapping into my musical interests and passions. Besides her talent as an accomplished musician, she applies exceptional teaching techniques by understanding her students individual strengths and interests. She is an excellent teacher, and I recommend her without reservation.
