Chamber Music

Hi everybody,

I am having fun teaching a chamber music class at the Southwest Suzuki Piano Institute this week. It has been a blast to me and the students. The classes are for pianists to learn to play with other musicians in small ensembles. We have been applying some principles of good ensemble playing like cuing, internalizing tempo, keeping the tempo constant, style, and sound matching.

We are in O'Donnell Hall at SMU's Meadows School of the Arts. Our chamber music recital is Friday, July 21 at 12:45 PM. Free, and... beautiful music on your way.

Thanks to everybody in the classes for putting in the effort necessary to make beautiful music together.

Thanks to all chamber music students and their families.
