Performing and practicing constantly, Noah developed his distinctive voice as a pianist and composer.

In addition to Barron his mentors included Bill Charlap, Bruce Barth, Barry Harris, and David Hazeltine.

Acclaimed pianist Noah Haidu combines modernism, soul, and swing into his own unique approach. A favorite of European and American critics from Jazzwise (UK) to MusicJazz (Italy), Haidu’s most recent album Standards received 5 stars in the Swiss magazine Jazz ‘n More GMBH. At home he’s been featured in the Wall Street Journal, NPR, and Downbeat Magazine’s Best Albums list.
