Can a Supportive Community IMPROVE Your Piano Playing?

I'm Robert Estrin, you're watching LivingPianos.com, your online piano resource. Today the subject is, can a supportive community transform your playing? Well, I have a very strong opinion about this because I've personally had the experience, starting in my father's music classes when I was a young child. It wasn't just the one-on-one lessons, it was the classes, the weekly classes I got to have with the other students of my father's. And we would play for each other, we would discuss music theory. It was an invigorating time and we'd get to learn from each other and get the support of our peers. What a fantastic opportunity I had. From the time I started piano lessons, I can't begin to tell you how instrumental that was for my piano growth, my inspiration, my motivation, my refinement, all of it. Well, what else? Well, I had other experiences and I wonder how many of you had experiences. You can share them in the comments here at LivingPianos.com and YouTube.

When I was in high school, I had an opportunity to study at the Mozartium in Salzburg, Austria. Wow, I did master classes in piano and French horn with several absolutely magnificent artists, Michael Hurtzel on French horn, Carlo Zecchi and Rene-Georges Chemin on piano. And you know what? It wasn't just these brilliant concert pianists, it was the rest of the master classes because you'd see how the masters would interact with the different students and learn so much you could see it and you'd start to understand a light bulb would go off over my head. You could imagine what they're talking about and striving for by seeing the progress of others and the support you get from the other students is unbelievably valuable. It was such a growth for me, it was transformational.

I've had other master classes, Byron Janis, a master class at Indiana University, Jacobs School of Music, as well as with John Ogden and Ruth Staczinska, Constance Kean, James Toko. I've had so many different master classes and once again there's a synergy that happens, which is one of the reasons I started the LivingPiano Mastermind Club, to get that same effect of being able to transform your playing with a community of people. And if you're interested in that, check out the description. There's a link for you for a free consultation. Again, I'm Robert Estrin, this is LivingPianos.com, your online piano resource.
