Giveaway of New Album by Amazing Improv Pianist Anna Ferraro

March 20, 2018 by natalie 14 Comments

As a young teenager I remember watching gifted pianists open up a piece of simple sheet music and proceed to flood the air with musical beauty that seemed to come out of nowhere. I was baffled (and more than a little jealous!). It was beyond my stick-to-the-music-trained brain’s ability to comprehend how someone could know what keys to play if it wasn’t on the page in front of them. Through painstaking investigation and instruction, I gradually learned to diverge from printed music and experience a taste of the wonderful world of improvisation. In all of my experiences, however, I must say that I don’t think I’ve ever come across a pianist as gifted at improvisation as Anna Ferraro.

I’m thrilled that Anna has agreed to offer a giveaway of her new album, “Where Glory Dwells,” to one special Music Matters Blog reader! She’ll also be joining us this week with a couple of guest posts about how to teach improvisation to your students. Just leave a comment below to be entered in the drawing to win your own copy of this inspirational music. A winner will be selected using a random number generator next Friday, March 30, at 12:00 noon CST.

    I’m not familiar with Anna’s work, so I enjoyed watching her video & getting a taste of what she does.

    As the new piano teacher in my new country home, I would be happy to listen and learn about Anna’ improvisation work. As the classical trained pianist, I have been discovering the world of improvisation and learning about it with my students. As a teacher, I found out that it is a challenging endeavor for most of them. Thanks. Janna
