This is a privilege, to recreate masterworks by some of the greatest geniuses that have enlightened humankind in the past centuries. Every piano student, no matter how humble, becomes involved in their artistic knowledge of which the common saying holds truth, “To understand is to equal”.

We must care enough to demonstrate, explain, and lead through examples.
