Collaborative
There is a lot to be said about performing as a soloist. But to play in a symphony or an ensemble or in a group of a larger scale is a glorious experience. Collaborate with other pianists to create a tapestry of symphonic sounds.
Creative
Perform a variety of music from chamber music, quartets, symphonic arrangements, big band, and salsa, to musical theater, movie themes, and current hits. Perform as a concerto soloist or as an instrumentalist on keyboard. Read scores or help with the improvisation and arrangements for parts. The options are limitless.
Contagious
Collaborating with other like-minded musicians is simply a blast. Your joy will spread to others around you, whether your family and friends, students, or colleagues. Imagine performing at schools and other events that spread the passion for playing piano....
