Piano Duet: Winter Waltz renamed Summer Fun by Andrea
Who says you can't enjoy a little winter music in the summer!? :)
My student, Andrea, shown here playing this duet with me...suggested we rename the song to "Summer Fun". Sounds good to me!
We will be performing this piece at our summer recital in August.

Be Inspired By a Small Hand Pianist!
Pianist with Small Hands: Inspiring Article & Video!
Even though I’m not a small handed pianist…I sometimes experience the feeling of having small hands due to challenging passages in music. While in high school I would always roll a 10th in the left hand. However…after playing a 10th with a gentle “rolled” movement over time….I found that I had stretched my left hand span and soon began playing solid 10ths!
While researching pianists with small hands, I came across the following inspiring article and video!
