Anne Ziegler

I am a collaborative pianist with years of experience working with vocalists and instrumentalists as a coach and performer. I work closely with singers in their voice lessons, coaching diction, text, and musicality. Currently at CCM, I am a sought-after collaborator for recitals, auditions, and masterclasses. I am actively involved in chamber music as well, performing in a piano quintet, piano trio, and duo ensembles. I work with younger musical artists at the CCM preparatory school as a Suzuki collaborative pianist and teacher.
