About Dean Jr.

My name is Dean Palya Jr. and I am a certified piano instructor. I have been studying piano for over 13 years at the Tufo School of Music with Dr. Thomas A. Tufo. This study has been an intensive adjudicated program through which I have earned my Teacher’s Certification as well as my Graduate Diploma.  I am currently working towards my Artistry Diploma and plan to achieve this in Spring 2011.  I have earned superior ratings and various awards for my musical accomplishments. I have also studied violin with Mrs. Lisa Chodorowski for the past 3 years and play violin with the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra.
