In computers, bytes are among the smallest bits of memory making up every kind of digital content. For piano, I like use bytes as representation of the digital tools that offer unprecedented capabilities to unlock student potential and teacher effectiveness.

A Pianist's Postcard from NAMM
Sat, 01/24/2015 - 7:55pm
Dear ArtistWorks Online Popular Piano Students,
Greetings from the 2015 NAMM Show in sunny Anaheim, California! When I left Philadelphia a few days ago, the weather was bitterly cold and snow was starting to fall heavily all across the eastern seaboard. So heavily, in fact, that I almost missed my connecting flight from Washington DC to Dallas, but fortunately United Airlines came to the rescue and put me on a direct leg to Los Angeles (travel tip: ALWAYS sign up for text alerts with the airline you're flying on! Thanks, United!) What a relief to step off of the plane in sunny, 72-degree California weather at the end of my flight!
NAMM stands for the National Association of Music Merchants, a non-profit organization that provides a wide array of resources for music education and business support for the music industry. Every January, NAMM hosts its annual convention, bringing together one of the largest gatherings of music manufacturers, M.I. (music industry) professionals, and of course, artists and bands, from all over the world. Truly a musical mecca that provides a fascinating overview of the world of music!
European Gems Part 2

Several folks asked to hear the same piece on both the 7ft. Estonia and the 7ft. Schimmel, rather than play different pieces on each, so that's what I do in this follow-up episode. Let me know in the forums if this helps you better compare the distinct characteristics of each piano. I'd love to hear which one you like better!
