performing her first full-length solo recital at the age of
thirteen. Today she performs as a soloist and chamber musician
throughout the US, in Europe, and in the Mideast. A CD featuring
her performance of works by Debussy, Hughes, Beethoven, Talma,
and Chopin will be available soon.
EDUCATION
She holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Piano Performance
from Yale University School of Music. She received the Bachelor
of Music in piano performance, with High Distinction, and the
Master's degree in piano performance, with Distinction, from
Indiana University. Numerous prizes and scholarships, including
the Charles H. Ditson Award for Outstanding Performer, and a
full scholarship, at Yale, and the Honors Scholarship at
Indiana, supported her education and performance. Her important
major teachers include Peter Frankl, Boris Berman, and James
Tocco. While she was working on her degree from Yale, she began
studying Dorothy Taubman's approach to piano technique with Edna
Golandsky in Manhattan, which she continues to this day.
TEACHING
Dr. Dybvig's expertise is much sought after. Not only does she
teach privately at home in Long Island, her busy teaching
schedule also regularly takes her to students in Manhattan, La
Crosse and Madison, WI, St. Paul, MN, and Chicago. IL. She was a
member of the faculty of the Taubman Institute of Piano in
Williamstown, MA from 1995 to 2002. She also taught
undergraduate music theory, formal analysis, music literature,
and ear-training at Indiana University and Boston University.
LECTURING
Teresa Dybvig is frequently asked by colleges and other music
organizations to present lectures and master classes on both the
interpretive and technical aspects of playing the piano. Her
lectures focus on three distinct areas: Dorothy Taubman's
approach to piano technique, the application of the Dunn and
Dunn learning styles model to teaching piano, and Music by
Women. Her lectures have been heard in many colleges and music
teacher's organizations in twelve states of the U.S. and three
cities in Turkey.
Dr. Dybvig is active in research to uncover music by women to
add to the mainstream repertoire. Her most recent contribution
is an article about contemporary music by Turkish women for
Women Composers: Music Through the Ages, a 12-volume anthology
of music by women.
