Mission Statement
The Association of Piano Teachers of Long
Island, founded in 1966, is a non-profit
organization which seeks to promote the
development of the next generation of young
musicians by raising the standards of piano
teaching and by providing members with
continuing professional growth through

Membership
Most members reside in Nassau, Suffolk, and
Queens counties. We invite interested
persons from other counties to join as well.
Benefits of membership include monthly
meetings, lectures, master classes,
newsletters, and yearly Spring Student
Recital in which students of members may
participate. An added benefit is the
opportunity to meet and network with people
who share common teaching values. Members
also take pleasure in Club 88, which is an
optional feature of APTLI. Club 88 meets
informally twice or thrice a year for those
interested to perform and/or listen to one
another.
History
The Association of Piano Teachers of Long
Island or APTLI (pronounced Apt-Lee) was
formed in 1966 , when twenty-one piano
teachers banded together for professional
growth and friendship. Bert Konowitz and
Hadassah Sahr were two of the association’s
first lecturers and performers. Many
renowned musicians have since been guest
speakers at APTLI meetings. These speakers
include Martin Canin, Constance Keene,
Nelita True, Mordecai Shehori, Carol
Montparker, Lynn Freeman Olson, Lee Evans,
Paul Sheftel, Ren Zhang, and Jeffrey Biegel.
