Hello everyone! Welcome to my piano lessons blog. You can ask questions about piano, pieces, practicing, theory, or anything else related to muisc. You can also submit videos or recordings of yourself playing if you want some of my suggestions (I won't post anything you send me unless you OK it first). I will also be posting some tutorials (please make some requests so I know where to start!)

My arrangement of Flight of the Bumblebee and Jingle Bells.

Happy Holidays everyone :)

I’m supposed to be cleaning the house.

Last night was dope

Just picked up my tickets for the GRAMMYs 🙂 See you Sunday!

Hey everyone! I’ll be giving a benefit concert in Cincinnati this month. All of the money from ticket sales will go towards the Anna Weinstein Piano Scholarship Fund, which gives piano lessons to students who can’t afford it. Anna Weinstein was my piano teacher, and she tragically passed away in 2013. This schoalrship fund is a way to continue her amazing legacy at the School for Creative and Performing Arts.

CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS

The price of $25 includes the concert and a dessert reception afterwards. If you can’t make the concert, perhaps consider donating to the scholarship fund out of the kindness of your heart :)

Thanks everyone! Reblogs are appreciated!

I just found out that I’ve been nominated for 3 NAMMYs! Best New Artist, Best Instrumental/New Age Recording, and Record of the year! I’m super grateful for the recognition!

Voting is now open to the public to decide the winners. I really need your votes to have a shot!

If you can,please vote and then reblog. I would appreciate it times a thousand! I can’t do it without you! :)

You can listen to all the nominees’ music here!

GO HERE TO VOTE!!!

(Ignore the part where it says only members can vote…that’s a mistake left over from the first round, as is the part about choosing 5 nominees. That part is done. You just have to choose one artist in a category :) )

Thank you all for your support, I’d be nowhere without you guys!

To all my followers that love Star Wars…here’s an advanced piano version of the original Star Wars overture that I recorded :D

I’d really appreciate if you guys gave it a watch/like/comment or whatever!

Re: Claire de lune, at what metronome setting should I practice and play the nu poco mosso? I've heard it played too fast, and also too slowly. Thanks for your help!

There’s really not a single metronome setting that I think should be followed across the board. I comes down to a lot of things, especially your own interpretation. I’d be happy to give you a free lesson on skype with this piece, it would be more helpful than anything I could write here. Just send me an email if you’re interested [email protected]

Guys, today is my niece’s 15th birthday and her cat Cleo is dying. She hasn’t celebrated her birthday at all, she won’t even take phone calls. They have been at the vet since last night, and the bills are already over $2,000. Please consider helping them out, her cat has a chance to live, they just don’t have this kind of money. Anything helps. And please please please reblog thank you so much I’ll post updates on my blog http://www.gofundme.com/rrb3kas
