Why do people pay for piano lessons?
The answer is….they don’t pay for piano lessons. They pay for so much more.
- They pay for their child to learn what it takes to commit to something meaningful;
- They pay so that their child can learn the magic of creation, of forming something beautiful using their hands;
- They pay so that their child recognises the power of discipline, of working at something consistently, at least five days per week, honing their skills and building their fluency;
- They pay so that their child understands not to quit when the novelty has worn off and the work must set in;
- They pay so their child learns that they must still put in the work, even when tired and grumpy, not just giving up and spending hours on TikTok;
- They pay so that they can learn the joy of creating music with others: listening intently, and learning to chop, change and compromise;
- They pay so that they realise that it’s not just “enjoying themselves” but working meticulously on small details;
- They pay so that they DO enjoy themselves;
- They pay so that their child creates neural pathways that impact every single area of the curriculum;
- They pay so that their child develops the most incredible fine motor skills;
- They pay so that their child sees that art can be transcendent, and can accompany us through our darkest times;
- They pay because music puts us in touch with something that can’t be otherwise expressed.

Why Maria Anna Mozart, a Musical Prodigy Like Her Brother Wolfgang, Remains Overlooked by History - Newsmoi When people ask why we have specifically black histories, or q***r histories, or women’s histories, it can be hard for many who do historical research to take the question seriously. But in fairness, such questions point to the very reason that alternative or “revisionist” histories exist. We ...

I saw him in concert at Powell Hall several years ago. Phenomenal pianist.
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.
