SALES EDUCATOR AND MANAGER OF THE PIANO PLACE

June 05, 2021

Grant's musical interest began when he was 9 years old.

He expressed an interest in music so his parents purchased a piano

and provided music lessons. He soon learned the value of being

instructed by quality teachers. “ Bad habits can develop,” he said,

“but a good teacher can prevent that by teaching students the correct

way to play, and take their students further.” Later, after he became a

Piano Teacher, he continued to study lessons so he could stay current

and offer his own students more knowledge.

GET OUT AND PERFORM

May 25, 2021

It may sound crazy at first, and your initial response might be "I could never do that" but the best way to enjoy playing the piano and making music is to share it with others.

Yes, I know most people do enjoy playing for just themselves and their own amusement. And that is great! But they would probably find it even more satisfying to play for others.

Now I am not saying you should book Carnegie Hall (maybe just not now, but you never know) but as simple as immediate family members for starters. Get comfortable, graduate to extended family, then on to friends and strangers at parties and other get togethers.

WHY BUY A GOOD PIANO?

May 14, 2021

How “good" of a piano should I buy is a question probably asked since Bartolomeo Cristofori made his second piano.

It is actually a pretty easy question to answer with the standard "buy the best one you can afford" retort, but that seems a smug answer to the uniformed.

In most cases the "uninformed" is the non-playing spouse of a player, and the non-playing parents of a student.
