In addition to giving music lessons, Yuval lectures regularly for a variety of audiences, from music lovers to professional musicians and theorists. He has presented ideas about topics ranging from pianistic issues such as timing, sound production and the art of practicing, all the way to music analysis and jazz appreciation. Responding to the changes of recent years, Yuval has given many online lectures, including a series of twelve online concert-lectures presenting the entire second book of Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier. Last summer, Yuval launched his first online hybrid course, “Unveiling Jazz Improvisation”, running now for the third time, and a few weeks ago he added his Advanced Jazz Improvisation course. 

Yuval started his piano studies in his hometown of Jerusalem with Mrs. Lea Agmon, who guided him through most of his teenage years. He then studied with Mr. Yahli Wagman in Tel Aviv, and later moved to New York, where he earned his Bachelors and Masters of Music degrees from the Mannes College of Music under the tutelage of Dr. Edward Aldwell. He later earned Professional Studies Certificates in Jazz and Classical Music from Purchase College and a Teacher’s Certificate from New York University. In addition to his performances as a classical and jazz pianist, Yuval has also played for theater and worked as an arranger and a sound engineer. Besides his life in music, Yuval Cohen is a certified consultant in the Tomatis Method, and has helped hundreds of individual to get closer to fulfilling their full potential.
