Aliza Stewart began piano lessons at the age of four.  She went on to receive an Artist Performance Diploma from the Rubin Academy of Music of the Tel Aviv University, and studied with Maria Curcio Diamond in London.  She performed internationally in Israel, England and US for over 40 years.

30 years ago, as a developing young musician, Aliza attended a workshop held by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.  Although she had approached the workshop as a way to improve her piano performance, she left it with the beginning of a lifelong passion for the Feldenkrais Method.  She began to seriously study the method to improve her playing and increase her overall quality of life.  After being a practitioner for many years, she has become an accredited Feldenkrais trainer and teaches trainees in the US, Europe, Israel and South America.
Aliza has a private practice in Baltimore MD, and New York City.  She teaches a graduate credit course at Mannes College of Music and for the last 10 years has been in residence at the Marlboro Chamber Music festival and the Yellow Barn Chamber Music school and Festival.

“At the Yellow Barn Music School and Festival Aliza Stewart is something of a phenomenon. Her deep knowledge of the Feldenkrais Method and her remarkable instincts for reading a musician’s physical tendencies make her constantly in demand. A musician in her own right, she is not only a practitioner capable of preventing and healing pain, but a partner in a search for greater freedom in how one makes music.”
- Seth Knopp, the Peabody Trio; Director, Yellow Barn Music Festival.
