For adult pianists at ALL levels, this reimagined, virtual version of our MAPR at Williams College was a huge success last year and it’s back again this summer!

Here are some more YES Academy Global Music Exchange photos!! 15 students participated from South Shore of Boston; Austin, Texas; Seattle, Washington; Paris, France; Lebanon and Syria. Next time we’ll have even more countries represented! Special thanks to Jacqui O. and Rebecca M. for sharing their music and for representing Alison S. Barr Music Associates! And to my beloved colleagues Scott Donald and Elie Sawma, who make everything easy and positive. And to American Voices John Ferguson, for supporting connections all over the world! https://americanvoices.org
Adult student Julie Shapiro is thrilled to announce that her new (to her) 1985 Steinway “M” sounds beautiful in its new home!! It is lovingly restored and ready for Bach, Schumann, Beethoven and Chopin, among others! Julie, we look forward to hearing you play in the next sharing session. Congratulations!
Aren’t these the most amazing creations you have ever seen? Clayton Mulder, shown here in the studio last year, is clearly ultra-imaginative. He put together these pianos, complete with music, pedals and everything, all from his own design! What an inspiration to have these pianists practicing with us. Congrats to Clayton and thank you for sharing.
Dr. Brandon Waddles, Wayne State University (Detroit) Lecturer in Choral Studies and Music Education, celebrated composer and accomplished pianist, is also a brilliant scholar and commentator on Black American music. I’m honored that he will be narrating the “Piano Music of Black American Composers,” presented virtually by my students on February 21, 2021. More info and link coming!
