Your Teacher

Teacher for 88stringsinpc
Maryann Silbert

         The piano brings me joy, comforts me in troubled times and helps me express my emotions better than any words. I started playing the piano in the third grade and studied with Sister Patricia Cashman,  the pianist and organist for the Sisters of Saint Joseph, Chestnut Hill, PA.  I was fortunate to have a wonderful teacher that inspired this piano relationship and she is still a great friend.
        I received piano lessons from third grade until I finished high school. I was one of the organists in our church during that time also. The trumpet was my instrument of choice in high school where we performed at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia.  Although I majored in accounting in college I pursued my love for music throughout my years.
       Gary, my husband, and I raised our two sons, Robert and Richard, in Bucks County, PA.  Rob played the piano, drums and guitar. Rich played piano, saxophone and guitar.
       Having our five grandchildren involved with music is important to both Gary and to me. We were excited when our oldest granddaughter, Olivia, traveled with her school band to Disney recently.  She performed with the marching band in Epcot and then she played with the orchestra in the Contemporary Ballroom. It was thrilling to watch. We were so proud of her.
      We moved to Palm Coast in 2003 and live in Seminole Woods. I worked over 25 years providing accounting support for Banking and  Flagler County  Social Services.   We were active in scouting and music performance activities.  I retired recently and am looking forward to pursuing my dream of bringing the love of the piano and music to others.
