Christie Peery, George Whitty, and Hugh Sung are some of the most accomplished piano players in the world -- and they know a thing or two about playing the keys.
I came across this terrific article on how pianists' brains are truly unique, giving them almost "super-human" abilities to process complex decision functions and tap into extraordinary creative capabilities. So how's that for a super-bonus for learning to play the piano? Now you know why you feel so special here! :)
“Thank you so much for joining this wonderful family, for being a part of this great community, and for being in love with music. It’s my privilege, honor, and joy to help you achieve your dreams to play the songs that you love.” - Hugh Sung
Milestone Alert: Since we first launched the online Popular Piano School with Hugh Sung in December, 2014 he has recorded over 1000 video responses for his students at ArtistWorks - incredible! Watch a special message he recorded for his students below where he celebrates by playing a beautiful version of "Clair de Lune" on piano. Then check out a sample Video Exchange to see an example of what it's like getting feedback on your playing.

My new CD, "Psalms: Hyssop & Snow" is now available on iTunes! Up to this point, all my recordings have been collaborations with other musicians playing music written by other composers (mostly Classical). This marks the first time I've released a full album of all of my own original compositions, based on the Book of Psalms. Special thanks to Calum Martin who contributed his wonderful vocals to the album, along with his daughter Isobel Ann Martin - Calum actually studied with me right here at ArtistWorks' Online Popular Piano School! How cool is that?
This project represents 15 years of writing arrangements for my home church. I hope you enjoy it!
