She has taught piano pedagogy, written for Clavier Magazine, was one of four teachers in the U.S. featured on a Keyboard Teleconference broadcast nationwide, and a Mobil Ambassador teacher at the Van Cliburn Competition. Suzanne Guy’s lectures and motivational workshops have taken her to 44 states and overseas. Both students and teachers find her excitement and love of music to be inspirational.
