“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” – Berthold Auerbach

​Why Piano?

"The musician is constantly adjusting decisions on tempo, tone, style, rhythm, phrasing, and feeling-training the brain to become incredibly good at organizing and conducting numerous activities at once. Dedicated practice of this orchestration can have a great payoff for lifelong attentional skills, intelligence, and an ability of self-knowledge and expression."   -  Ratey John J.,MD.
