Elaine Rombola holds a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance from Oberlin Conservatory and a Master of Music degree in Piano Performance from New England Conservatory.  She performs regularly in both solo and chamber music concerts, and endeavors to present new or infrequently heard music to audiences in a convincing and enlightening manner.

She is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher as well, who believes that the love and knowledge of music must be shared; she has gratefully found that she is constantly learning new things about playing the piano in the process of working with her students. She is Program Director of the Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice at NEC.
