november workshop

Our first Piano Artistry Workshop of the 2011-2012 school year was held on November 12th and the guest speaker was Registered Piano Technician, Ed Sutton. Understand the instrument we play is a vital part of becoming a well-rounded musician. Mr. Sutton discussed how sound is created in the piano, the parts of the piano and touched on the history of the instrument as well. It was a very informative afternoon!

Ed Sutton is the piano technician for Charlotte Academy of Music. He is also the Editor of The Piano Technicians Journal and instructor at regional and national RPT conventions.
