Christopher Harding Piano Student Success

We LOVE hearing about past scholarship recipients and their success!


From our October 2020 Scholarship Winner, 


"We appreciate so much your kindness to Aleks, he was quite honored to be the recipient of your generosity. In fact, that month of lessons that you covered enabled him to make a very fine video performance that doubles as his college audition video and also his entry to certain competitions. The results were:

He became in March 2021 a National Finalist in the MTNA Senior Piano Competition, which as you know means that he won the Michigan State level, also the Division level (Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin);
He was a finalist in the Dubois Competition held at Bowling Green State University in February 2021, a national competition with very high level applicants;
He was awarded complete full rides to Oberlin and Michigan and a very competitive scholarship at Eastman, and is still deciding.
So, your investment in him was incredibly timely and effective, and we thank you very much indeed!" 
Chair of Piano
Professor of Piano and Chamber Music

Walk into any piano dealership today and you'll notice something that would have seemed surprising a decade ago: the digital piano section is bigger, busier, and in many cases, outselling the acoustic floor. That shift isn't anecdotal. The numbers tell a clear and consequential story about where the piano industry is heading — and why piano dealers, manufacturers, and buyers need to pay attention.

This is the question we get more than almost any other at The Piano Place: "Should I buy an acoustic or a digital piano?" And our honest answer is always the same — it depends.

Young Virtuosos Are Bringing Classical Music Back — and We're Here for It

Something remarkable is happening in classical music right now, and honestly, I don't think it's getting nearly enough attention. A new generation of young pianists — most of them under 30 — are turning Bach and Chopin into social media sensations. And the audiences showing up to listen? Millions of them. Many of them Gen Z.
