Julius Chaloff

Chaloff was married to piano instructor Madame Margaret Chaloff, née Stedman, whose students included Keith Jarrett, Kenny Werner, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Mulgrew Miller, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and Steve Kuhn.

He studied at this institution for six years and was the youngest student to receive a diploma, graduating with high honors at the age of 17.

During the senior year he won the first Mason and Hamlin prize piano contest, the judges being George W. Chadwick, Charles Martin Loeffler, and Dr. Max Fiedler.

Almost all of the eminent concert pianists of the US, including such personalities as Rachmaninoff and Lhevinne, recorded for the Ampico.

A few of the compositions that have been preserved onto a very rare and limited number of LP's which were recorded by Julius Chaloff are: https://web.archive.org/web/20080604013843/http://glorat.home.mchsi.com/Ampico_Demonstrations/Podcast_2/Entries/2008/5/25_65343_Chopin_Ballade_No_4_in_F_minor.html
