<p>Myau, for my son, for numerous reasons, as a Calif kid, Chicago truly was the school "where fun goes to die". Tell your D that as good as Chicago is academically, many students have little time for outside activities, because they throw so much work at you. It is different from just about any other college in the US, save Caltech, and MIT as far as the intensity of academic expectations. She can get as good an education, and have time for a full, rich college experience at Princeton. She won't miss going to Chicago once she is happily settled in elsewhere.</p>
<p>OK, could anyone here name some good piano teachers at UCB, UCLA and Princeton to try to make an appointment/trial lesson with?</p>
<p>^^ I suggest you start a new thread in the music majors forum for help with this question.</p>
<p>also, I thought you D would like to see this article written in the Princeton student newspaper 8 years ago

<p>Geoff Burleson at Princeton is a terrific pianist. Can't compare him to anyone else there, but he's really talented and a fine teacher. I sent you a PM.</p>
<p>Thank you, Skie, I got your PM, it's really helpful. ;)</p>
<p>One thing I noticed is that almost all of the private piano teachers at Princeton studied at some point with Gil Kalish (he's at Stonybrook) -- certainly not a coincidence!</p>
