Hi Brian and welcome. This is a good question and I hope you find my post helpful. I will try to answer as briefly as possible because this is a huge subject. During the Classical Period, between 1750 - 1825, many important events took place, an

This may sound crazy and unorthodox, but I have developed my own unique style of playing the piano as I sing, which I do a lot. Besides, the singing helps to offset my poor playing. Also, if you’ll notice, when a pianist accompanies a singer, th

I was talking to someone today about a 6' Vos grand piano they have for sale. He's not sure of the age. Possibly 50 years old. Does anyone have any insight into whether these were good pianos. He is only asking 1950.00 C$ which is really cheap around
