Laura Harmon Piano Studio

Spending the day at NFMC Festival auditions and hearing some new-to-me music.

I’ll be away from the studio (and Facebook) until January 6th. Enjoy the holiday season with your loved ones.

The students made jingle bell bracelets this week to go along with our jingle bell lesson and work on fine motor skills. I loved seeing the students’ creativity as they designed their bracelets.

So happy that had Festival music!

It’s always a good day to get new sheet music! 🎼

This week, I am selecting new music for students, finding more fun activities like the one pictured, and doing some continuing education.

My student gave me this awesome gift to use with my iPad! I’m so excited to put this to work in the studio and while performing!

Studio Holiday Recital @ 4pm this afternoon. Join us at 111 E Columbia Ave.🎹 🎶 🎄

Steinway & Sons mourns the loss of pianist André Watts. At the age of sixteen, Watts made his debut under Leonard Bernstein with the New York Philharmonic in a Young People’s Concert and then substituted for an ailing Glenn Gould two weeks later in performances of Liszt’s E-flat Concerto with the orchestra, launching his career. He would go on to become the first internationally famous Black concert pianist. Watts had a warm, emotionally rich touch at the keyboard, notably immortalized on record in his many interpretations of works by Franz Liszt, a composer in whom Watts took inspiration and perhaps found a Romantic kindred spirit.
