Classical Pianist and Educator: Alan Wasserman
Alan has served as President of the Music Educators Association of New Jersey, the prestigious Cecilian Music Club of 1883 and, currently, the Shore Music Educators Association.

Wasserman has performed in Europe, China, and Russia; in New York City at Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall and other venues; as well as museums, libraries and events in New Jersey. He frequently serves as a judge for piano competitions and lectures to music educator associations. Wasserman’s “Music Hour” presentations, offered free to the public, given quarterly since 2005 in Freehold, NJ, demonstrate his commitment to community education. His classes were featured in the book “From the Cradle of Classical Music” about the 130th anniversary of the Cecilian Music Club.
Alan has led his students, many of whom are competition winners, and their families to immersive musical excursions in China, Russia, Germany, Austria, Canada and the United States.
