ANTHONY HEALY
PIANO

As soon as pianist Anthony Healy was old enough to reach the keys, he has been drawn to and inspired by the power of the instrument. Frequently performing across the country, Anthony has a vast repertoire and is at ease in a variety of styles, including jazz, classical, blues, and pop.  Born and raised in Westborough, Massachusetts, Anthony began playing songs by ear at age 4, starting with the theme to the movie “Superman” (the greatest superhero of all time), and continuing on to works from all genres. Initially, Anthony played simply to entertain friends and family, but what started as a hobby soon developed into something more serious. By age 14, he was studying classical piano at The Boston Conservatory under Inna Muravnik. Anthony went on to earn a degree in music education with a piano performance focus, along with a minor in Italian studies, from Ithaca College. While pursuing his master’s degree in jazz performance at Western Michigan University, Anthony studied with acclaimed pianist Jeremy Siskind, and also worked closely with the Music Education department. 

Anthony currently resides in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, teaching K-5 music at Afton-Lakeland Elementary in the Stillwater district, and maintaining his own private teaching studio.
