Boston University teachers

April 16, 2004 at 05:50 PM · Hi, does anyone have any suggestions for teachers at BU? I am meeting with Yuri Mazurkevich, and I believe I will be on the waiting list for Peter Zazofsky. Bayla Keyes, who came highly recommended is already filled up for next year. Any suggestions? I should be able to get a spot in Mazurkevich's class, but I was looking for a teacher who would have a different and more free style of playing and teaching. I am very excited about going to BU next year, but I did have to turn down studying with Lucie Robert at MSM due to the fact they gave me no scholarship money at all. I hope this wasn't a bad decision.

Both studied with Oistrakh and both won international competitions, so you can pretty much count on getting very good Russian-School teaching from them.
