ELIZABETH TUFANKJIAN began studying piano at the age of 6. At the age of 11, she was given the book of the Chopin Nocturnes which she learned completely in that year. 
That was when she realized music would be in her life’s calling. Through her many years of teaching and performing, she strongly believes that playing piano correctly involves movement with the whole body, as the larger muscle groups help the smaller muscle groups get the music inside out.  
Mrs. T, as she is known by her students, lives in New York's Hudson Valley with her husband, Tom and close by their son, Tim, and their two beautiful grandchildren.  
Outside of making music together with Tom and writing instructional materials, Mrs. T and her husband enjoy hiking near their home and gardening when time allows.
