Bartolomeo Cristofori – The Inventor of the Piano

Bartolomeo Cristofori – The Inventor of the Piano

Have you ever wondered who the inventor of the piano was? The piano is such a popular instrument now, but have you ever stopped to think about who had the idea of creating it?

Believe it or not, at one time if you wanted to play a keyboard instrument your choices were the harpsichord or the organ. While these instruments are great, they also have some drawbacks. The main one is this – no matter how hard or soft you press the keys, they don’t play any louder or softer.

Have Your Piano Tuned Regularly!

Posted on January 10, 2011 by emilylowe

Last month I had my piano tuned and vacuumed out – I admit it was overdue for a tuning and as a piano teacher… well, it’s kind of like the story of the doctor who is a bad patient!

Pianos are very sensitive instruments with lots of parts (upwards of about 14,000 parts). All of these parts come together to make the piano sound good when played by a skilled or budding pianist.

2 Pieces of Advice to Becoming a Great Piano Teacher

Posted on November 18, 2010 by emilylowe

She told me a couple of things that have proven to be true: SMILE at your students and be their friend, and WAIT 10 years for the real rewards.

Voice Lessons by Skype: Combining the Convenience of the In-Home Lesson with a Quality Teacher at a Low Cost

Posted on November 2, 2010 by emilylowe

As a music teaching studio owner, I have the great privilege of being able to try out new ways of teaching lessons. One of the newest ways to teach voice lessons is via Skype. The intertwining of music and technology has been going on for years (think music industry here), but in a lot of ways the music student has been left behind. Quality fundamental music training can be difficult to come by and the private lesson is always a costly endeavor.
