I’m Diana Mascari, a passionate composer, jazz pianist, and dedicated piano teacher located in Southbury, CT. With a rich background in creating original compositions and extensive experience performing jazz, she brings a unique blend of artistry and education to everything she does.
All these dimensions of her experience inform each other and offer her students deeper insight into their own musical growth.
As a piano teacher, I am committed to nurturing the musical growth of my students. My teaching approach blends traditional techniques with innovative methods. This supports each individual student in developing a strong musical foundation while exploring his or her own artistic voice. My goal is to create supportive and engaging relationships with all my students so they can reach their fullest potential.
In my role as a jazz pianist, I've spent my life immersed in the vibrant world of jazz, performing with a style that combines improvisation with technical mastery. Whether it’s a sultry ballad or an upbeat swing, my performances are infused with the spontaneity and expressiveness that defines jazz.
As a composer, I craft evocative melodies and intricate harmonies that capture the essence of diverse musical genres. My compositions involve elements of classical music deeply influenced by jazz. They reflect a deep understanding of musical structure and form aiming to inspire and move audiences.

Why I Teach Piano
I’ve always found that listening to the music I love brings me great joy. It continues to inspire and motivate me to grow and develop my own musicianship. When I play piano, I feel energized, nourished, and joyful. My life becomes more vibrant. This is my way of sharing my love.
When I teach, I see my students’ abilities develop and advance over time. As this happens, they too begin to experience this joy in their own lives, and it becomes part of their identity. I care deeply for each of my students, and I know that their developing musicianship is a way that they can go on to share their love.
The hundreds of hours I spent performing as a solo jazz pianist enabled me to define my own style into an effective teaching method. TAP is a proven method of teaching piano which has evolved from my multi-faceted musical career. TAP makes it possible for me to help students reach their individual goals more quickly and successfully.
