Steinway Educational Partner Certification

Steinway & Sons has long served professional performers, music institutions and educational organizations worldwide, establishing a profound and lasting influence in both piano craftsmanship and music education. Its Steinway Educational Partner certification program evaluates a teacher’s professional expertise, teaching philosophy and long-term educational practice, recognizing educators who demonstrate consistent and sustainable development in music education.

Emily Wang, founding principal of SoMe Music School, has successfully completed Steinway’s comprehensive and rigorous evaluation process and has been officially recognized as a Steinway Educational Partner. The assessment included organizing and submitting application materials, presenting a detailed teaching philosophy, recording and evaluating teaching sessions, and producing performance videos. Each stage highlights the emphasis on long-term teaching effectiveness and professional competence. This certification not only assesses technical teaching skills but also emphasizes the teacher’s ability to guide students in understanding music, developing expressive abilities and establishing steady learning habits.

For SoMe Music School, this certification is more than a title, it affirms the school’s teaching methods and educational philosophy. Music learning requires clear methodology, patient accumulation and continuous guidance rather than short-term results. Being recognized as a Steinway Educational Partner further validates the school’s teaching approach, methodology and professional standards.

Looking ahead, SoMe Music School will continue to prioritize professionalism and long-term development, focusing on practical teaching and supporting students in steadily advancing on their musical journey.
