"I have had the great pleasure to make music with Leah many times. She is a consummate artist, a wonderful pianist and fantastic collaborator on all levels. I have also had the opportunity to watch her teach and found her to be compassionate and a comprehensive teacher for all levels. Her generous and beautiful spirit suffuses everything that she undertakes. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
~ Laura Schwingel, Soprano, Director of Music at Carmel Mission
