With increasing dedication to her music, she enrolled in the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and studied under Menahem Pressler (The Beaux Arts Trio) and Dr. Joseph Rezits. She received a Bachelor of Music in piano performance.
Ms. Reich has performed as part of duets, duos, trios, orchestras and as a soloist throughout the United States and the Caribbean. Peggy Reich continues to and has given public and private soirée concerts as well to such notables as Maria Casals.

Now, in her typical solo performances, she includes, along with more familiar works, the music of lesser known composers from all around the globe, especially South America and Israel.
Throughout her performance career, Ms Reich has been a dedicated and passionate teacher of piano. “I share my joy of creating music, and understanding music, through my teaching.” Her students currently range in age from 4 to 75 years old! The emphasis is on piano repertoire, however not confined to , classical, along with theory, ear training and the mastery of composition. Throughout the year, students have opportunities to share their music as well as boost their self-confidence in many different recital venues that Peggy provides. She has ongoing masterclasses for all ages as an addition to her weekly studio classes on topics ranging from the early Renaissance compositional theory, the mastery of Mozart’s music, to the genius of Schoenberg’s Twelve-tone compositions. Students, with a more serious desire for a future in the field of music receive direction and help in preparing for international national competitions.
