Eric Himy is a great piano teacher. My daughter takes lessons from him. He teaches her not only keyboard skills (how to play the music), but also performance skills (how to interpret the music). My daughter has been learning for him for nearly a year. Now she starts to "feel" the music.

Mr. Himy was also interviewed to teach President-elect Obama's children. Not sure how that goes. He still plays at concerts regularly. He lives in Great Falls/McLean area.

You can learn more about Mr. Himy at http://erichimy.com.
