Go beyond the book.
Hi, I’m Chelsea Hillerich. I teach and compose piano music at my home studio in Greenfield Center, NY. My music blends elements of romantic impressionism with cinematic minimalism. I love writing music that helps players sound more advanced than their current level!

Bio
I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelors of Music in music studies and a certificate in piano pedagogy from the Crane School of Music. During my tenure at Crane, I earned the Susan Smykla Udell ’57 Scholarship in piano accompanying and the Class of ’53 Scholarship for future educators. As one of the top scholars in my department, I was honored to receive the Music Studies Scholar Award as well as a certificate of merit for academic excellence. In 2014, I was accepted into the Decoda-Skidmore Chamber Music Institute, where I studied with members of the world-renowned Decoda ensemble. After earning my music degree, I launched my home studio in Greenfield, NY. I’m privileged to say, I have now helped over a decade’s worth of students discover the joys of making piano music.
