Pianote Awards - I'm up for Contemporary Pianist
I'm in the running for Pianote's Contemporary Pianist of the Year. The Pianote awards highlight keyboardists across a diverse range of styles and has introduced me to some new artists whose music I'm excited to check out.
Pianote is the educational platform that put out these two videos (see below) in which I listen and then figure out a quick accompaniment to Alicia Keys and Animals as Leaders. I've seen some comments about why I didn't recognize the Animals as Leaders song even though I was on tour with them. I wish I had time to listen to opening acts while on tour but I'm always prepping for my own upcoming show. The harsh reality of touring is that I am in my dressing room while opening acts are on stage and all that I hear from the stage is a cacophony of sound that comes echoing backstage while in most venues.
. My Pianote course is coming out in a few months and it takes a different route than any previous courses I've offered. More on that soon!
