20,000,000 Unplayed Pianos
New age piano instructor Edward Weiss asks: Why are there so many unplayed pianos in the United States? On AllAboutJazz.com he gives this answer:
The way I see it is that adults purchase pianos thinking they’ll go the classical route, and then give up because it’s just not satisfying. With electronic keyboards, they’re either given as gifts or aspiring young musicians soon lose interest.
And more:
The New Age style is perfect for anyone just wanting to have fun and make beautiful music. In fact, I can whole-heartedly promise this: With my methods, I can have anyone both playing and composing their own piano music in less than 30 days.
The program is called Quiescencemusic.com
Edward Weiss on prestigious list
We have previously told you about piano teacher Edward Weiss whose new age music program – Quiescencemusic – has been endorsed by master pianist David Lanz. Now Edward Weiss is receiving more praise. According to Allaboutjazz.com:
It’s one thing to teach piano its quite another being among those talented enough listed on the prestigious Steinway & Sons compilation of professional teachers. Steinway & Sons has been known or over a century and a half for creating the finest pianos available. When a teacher is accepted on their site, you know they are a cut above the rest.
And more:
Not only does he (Edward Weiss) compose his own scores, he actually shows how even beginners can start to master this style themselves even if they’ve never wrote a note of music in their lives.
What’s more he does it all over the internet. As Edward explains:
My students never have to leave the comfort of their home in order to play their own personal New Age creations. With my method, if you can use a piano keyboard, I can teach you how to improvise and compose. It’s really that straightforward and fun!
So if you feel like being creative, mr. Weiss can show you how to make beautiful music. If you got a Steinway it will sound even better
