musicians and their pianos

“Having an upright piano, in just the right place at home, provides me with a social go-to place to engage with music that fills the heart and soul.

For me, playing my piano has become a recreational treat (and creational retreat) that allows me to express inner thoughts and feelings without the use of words, and engage with certain music selections that move me in deep and different ways.

Playing my piano also gives me opportunities to work on special selections that I hope will touch and uplift others whenever I have the opportunity to share”
