Student Showcase Saturday
Hi all! I want to share with you a new series we’ll be doing. In my years at Manhattan School of Music Precollege, there was a showcase called music hour. Basically, students would perform one piece in a performance space to practice playing in front of an audience.
COVID-19 VS. In person lessons
I make my living teaching piano. I’ve taught lessons at music schools, my students’ homes and my home studio. But what does one do when you’re not allowed to go outside?

There's something so special about giving someone their very first piano lesson. Be it the 4 year old who has been begging their parents to learn piano, the 16 year old who really wants to learn that song they heard on the radio or the 57 year old who has always wanted to learn piano but never came around to it; there's usually a healthy dose of nervousness, excitement and child-like energy!
