Besides being a piano teacher or a performer. Could I be able to teach a class at a school on something like the Romantic Period? Or does that require a special degree? Oh and how would I be able to achieve theses jobs?
Is there anything I should do to become a pianist on the same level as Arrau, Horowitz, Rubenstein, etc??? I am debating whether or not I should become a physicist or a pianist, but it is such a big gamble I dont know what to do.
i m a pianist, but i dont know if i should study the 4 years of classical training and then study jazz.
I am trying to figure out the title of a book someone recommended to me. I think it is called “The Secret Life of….”, can’t remember the rest. But the premise is that this average working family man lives a boring life but at night, he sneaks out of his house and assumes the persona of an amazing jazz piano player and gigs all over town. Anyone know the name of the book?
thanks!
I’ve been getting into classical music (used generically, not as period reference) lately and I’ve been told that it is sometimes best to start with the piano sonatas and move up to the string quarters, concertos, symphonies.
So, if you would, who do you think are the best keyboardists from the above period and their best works?
I am a classically trained pianist, and I want to be a classical crossover pianist. I personally think it is a good concept, but I need some input first. I plan to perform classical music and well as famous songs and new music. I think music videos and such might be good ideas as well. My goal is to reach young people especially. Does anyone have any ideas as to getting started or other concepts to add to my list?
