ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The Piano Ninja Tricks Podcast is the show for adult classical pianists wanting to play the classical music of their dreams with joy and ease.
Meet your host, Juilliard alum and Piano Ninja, Lisa Spector. She's sharing her treasured tricks honed through years of study with legendary mentors Earl Wild, Leon Fleisher, John Perry and Lillian Kallir.
But here's the remarkable part: Lisa's journey to piano mastery was interrupted after an unexpected fall led to seven complicated right-hand fractures, resulting in four surgeries over several years and a medical professional telling her she'd never play piano again. Her resilience and unique insights will inspire you.
If you're a classical pianist yearning to practice less and play more, you've found your musical oasis.
Dropped every Thursday. Season 2 starts October 24, 2024.
Tune in, and you'll soon discover your inner Piano Ninja!
