April 19, 2016by emilylowe

Every spring Music Star Studios hosts a spring studio recital for all of our students. This year we will present our spring recital on Sunday, April 24. Close to 40 of our students will present songs they have been diligently working on for months. Every year when recital season rolls around I have clients ask if their child is "ready" to perform in our recital; or if they "should" perform in the recital. And my answer is always the same; I encourage every one of my studens who feels comfortable to participate. Even those who don't feel the most comfortable I encourage :)

Bartolomeo Cristofori - The Inventor of the Piano Have you ever wondered who the inventor of the piano was? The piano is such a popular instrument now, but have you ever stopped to think about who had the idea of creating it? Believe it or not, at one time if you wanted to play a keyboard instrument your choices were the harpsichord or the organ. While these instruments are great, they also have some drawbacks. The main one is this - no matter how hard or soft you press the keys, they don't play any louder or softer.

When I think of the most unusual piano, though, I don't think about looks. I think about the experience of playing it. Hands down, I think the Bosendorfer Model 290 Imperial Piano truly gives the most unusual playing experience.

Piano TuningHave Your Piano Tuned Regularly!

January 10, 2011by emilylowe

Last month I had my piano tuned and vacuumed out - I admit it was overdue for a tuning and as a piano teacher... well, it's kind of like the story of the doctor who is a bad patient!

I've been a piano teacher professionally for 15 years now. It's been quite a journey. When I was fresh out of college I was ready to start teaching piano and wanted to be the best teacher possible.
