I found some neat video animations of two improvisational pieces. It’s very interesting to see how the animators represented the music visually…

Here’s a video of a piano and bass improvisation:

And here’s a video for the song Giant Steps by famous jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane.

New Website, Blog, and Video!

liz /

Hi everyone! Welcome to my new website and blog. I’m excited to have a place where I can post fun things I find in the world of music, piano performance, accompaniment, teaching, and lessons.

For my first post, I want to share a video we just finished about my piano studio. I worked with the Boston video production company Extraneous Noise to produce the video. Hope you enjoy it!
