Pupil of Schenker’s from October 1918 to Summer 1922.

Miss Schaab approached Schenker first on September 3, 1918, starting lessons at the beginning of the teaching year 1918/19 with three lessons a month, reducing in later years to two lessons a month, and even one. She quit her studies with Schenker in mid-June 1922, at the end of the 1921/22 year. Before coming to Schenker she must have had experience of music theory, because she started with him at the level of three-voice counterpoint in fourth species, advancing later to four voices. Her piano repertory consisted mainly of Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Brahms.

She taught piano herself, relying on fees from that work to fund her lessons with Schenker.
