Biography Login to edit
was a British piano teacher, and the founder, Chair and Artistic Director of the Leeds International Piano Competition. She was also president of the Harrogate International Music Festival and a Patron of The Purcell School for Young Musicians. Waterman was born in Leeds; her father, Myer Waterman, a Russian Jew, had emigrated to England to work as a jeweller. She began to study with Tobias Matthay when she was 17; she started giving public performances, and in 1941 opened the concert season in Leeds with the Leeds Symphony Society. She won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music and studied under Cyril Smith. In 1944, she married Dr. Geoffrey de Keyser and in 1950, with the arrival of her first child, gave up her concert career and concentrated on teaching. Her son Paul de Keyser also became a musician and music author. By the early 1960s, Waterman felt that young British pianists needed a goal to give them a competitive edge with overseas pianists.
