Elizabeth Quaile (January 20, 1874 – June 30, 1951) was an American piano pedagogue of Irish birth.
Early life and education
A native of Omagh, County Tyrone, Quaile emigrated to the United States early in her life; she settled in New York City, and undertook studies with Franklin Robinson before turning to teaching.
Career and further study
From 1916 until 1919, she chaired the piano department of the David Mannes School in Manhattan; she then traveled to Paris for more study, taking lessons with pianist Harold Bauer.
In 1921, she returned to New York City, founding the Diller-Quaile School of Music with Angela Diller that same year.
Quaile, sometimes together with Diller, produced a number of books and other works to be used in the teaching of piano, many of which saw much success.[1][2][3]
