     Ms. Greenfield has been included in the Vermont Arts Council's Artist Register since 1972, and in 1992 was awarded a VAC Fellowship Grant by Governor Howard Dean.

Since 1973 Greenfield has been a member of the artist-faculty of the Adamant Music School and she served as director from 1979-1982. She is a Master Teacher in the Music Teachers National Association, a resource person for workshops, master classes, and lecture recitals, and an active adjudicator.

     Ms. Greenfield holds Bachelors and Masters degrees in piano performance and teaching, and her early training included such notable instructors as James Ball, Irene Rosenberg Grau, Walter Hautzig, John Perry, Lorin Hollander, Julio Esteban, and Dorothy Taubman.

     Although her repertoire is extensive and varied Elaine Greenfield has loved French Music since early student days at the Crane School of Music, the Peabody Conservatory, and in New York with mentor and Adamant founder Edwine Behre. About her New York Carnegie Recital Hall debut which included the second book of Debussy Preludes New York Times critic Peter G. Davis wrote: "Ms. Greenfield possesses a formidable technique which she uses for expressive purposes rather than flashy surface effect...The Preludes were particularly well conceived, etched in a clearly drawn, rhythmically strong profile that made a welcome contrast to the mushy impressionistic haze that many pianists consider appropriate for this composer." (see Reviews)

     Greenfield recently recorded the 24 Debussy Preludes on a 1907 Blüthner of Leipzig virtually identical to Debussy's piano of choice when he composed the works. The recording took place at the E. M. Frederick Collection in Ashburnham, Massachusetts. Current collaborations include performances as half of the "Transcontinental Piano Duo" with pianist Janice Meyer Thompson of Arizona State University, and flute/piano recitals with flutist Karen Kevra.
