Today, we’re excited to introduce our piano Artist in Residence — Julie Askernia 🎹

"Hi, I’m Julie — I hold a Ph.D. and have served as a Senior Professor of Piano at the Azerbaijan Pedagogical University in Baku, Azerbaijan. In 1997, I opened my piano studio here at the Schuylkill County Council for the Arts, which I still proudly maintain today, and I also teach at Blue Mountain Academy in Hamburg, PA. I specialize in piano, accompaniment, and the theoretical sciences of music, working with students of all ages and levels.

My goal as a teacher is to foster a love of music in every student while helping them reach their full potential through discipline, creativity, and confidence—encouraging them to share their music with their communities."
