Before our summer break, each of my students received a worksheet on which to record the pianos they checked out and played. Each piano had been painted by teams of artists, and they had lovely colored murals on them. This event is so much fun because it allows piano-lovers to try out many different pianos, build confidence for performing, and spread the joy of creating live music for others to enjoy!
My students come across pianos all over the country and the world during their vacations. One of my students found a little piano bar in the Caribbean last year, and enjoyed playing a few of the pieces she had learned. They invited her back this year during her November vacation, and she has been working SO hard this whole year to have a couple of pieces ready to dazzle her audience! What a great incentive for an early intermediate pianist!
One of my newest students found a piano at the airport in Paris, France, and stopped briefly to play it. It's the first of my piano pictures below.
Remember: there can NEVER be too many pianos in the world, and they are all waiting for you to introduce yourselves to them.
