In the western Chicago suburbs, I'm at $54 per hour in my studio, and I add $18 to travel, regardless of the length of the lesson. So far my students are split about half in the studio, and half at their homes. But I've only been here for a year, s

Hi, The purpose of the caster cups is to dissipate the weight of the piano onto a larger area and to eliminate any movement. The full weight of the piano is transmitted to the three small casters and can damage any floor, even stone or ceramic. Th

Thanks, HorseMom. I think I'll use this tempo idea, but instead apply it to the books I have in the style I'm playing (film/popular). As TromboneAl discovered, you get better at reading/playing the style you read/play in.

I'm just kidding Nicholas.. I don't know.. is it in 3/4 time - it is played so gracefully my Rach guess would be way off. I thought it might be a Brahms waltz but there are not enough octaves. I've watched it like 12 times. I hope you find out.

I have to consider the additional cost. My budget is not unlimited. And you're in Washington while I'm here in Texas.

I hadn't heard of Bronfman until I purchased his recording of Rachmaninoff's 2nd and 3rd PCs, with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting. That was many years ago, and it remains one of my favorite recordings. Despite his large frame, Bronfman is a wonderful

Hi Eva: It could be a nice piano, but it has marginal, if any value these days. Uprights aren't popular right now. Take care, Steve

I've played only one wedding. It was to be a piano and bass duo and the groom was very keen on having a upright bass. He confirmed that several times. Well, getting off the elevator, the doors close on my bass player's instrument, snapping the br

i can't offer any advice, but absolutely adore the SF10s in general.. They seemed to be THE church piano bought in the 70s and 80s. They are priced pretty cheaply (about 12,000) in the KC metro.. They are quite large.

Yep. Pretty much depend on restringing the top two sections after 7-8 years of concert use. Even on the best maintained pianos. Earlier on some, later on others. Gettin awful tired o that, too!!!

Most studios will be happy to have you in for a trial lesson / interview so it doesn't hurt to go and see what you think.

Is the problem that you can't find any teachers in your area? Or is it that there are too many teachers, and you don't know what criteria to use to choose between them?

I'm no slouch in the weight lifting department and I've been doing it steadily and seriously for almost 12 years. I don't think that it has done anything to hinder or improve my piano playing. It won't cause one to be any more tense than one already
