Walking In A Piano Wonderland

9/25/2017

     Over the course of the 20 years I've been teaching piano my student recitals have been rather nomadic ventures.
        For my first recital in 1998, 
with my first five students
Picture
     I prevailed upon the good nature a fellow piano teacher to allow us to crash his students' recital at Grave Recital Hall (see post from 2/23/2017) and perform with them, which he kindly did, and
after which we all returned,   students, and parents,  to my place for a little reception.
Picture
    After that first recital we proceeded to move over the years from venue to venue, performing at my home or my students' homes, with me beefing up the program by having my own children perform, as they often did together when they  were
young,
Picture
..along with my piano students,
Picture
...as Tommy still does from time to time.
Picture
     As my studio grew our recitals moved from homes to a school auditorium, then to a church hall.
Picture
...and last year, finally, from the church to Graves Recital Hall,
Picture
...which will be our final, permanent new recital home, not the least reason being that everyone loves performing on the hall's beautiful 9-foot concert grand pianos,
Picture
Picture
...as well as being able to warm up before their performances on the available practice pianos.
Picture
     But besides having a wonderful performance venue, Graves is also home to a vast piano and
organ dealership, and is, in truth, the place to go in Central Ohio to buy a quality piano or organ.
    Which also makes Graves the place to go to look at pianos and organs of all kinds, which is part of the fun of having a recital there:
    We get to look at all the stunning pianos,
Picture
...and   stunning organs.
Picture
    There are rooms and rooms full of beautiful pianos and organs of all  kinds for sale or show,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...interesting, unusual pianos of every style and color,
Picture
...even a royal blue one.
Picture
...and a deep red one.
Picture
     There are some rare vintage and antique pianos,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and behind the showrooms, a whole back warehouse full of more pianos.
Picture
     One can't help leaving the place pondering the instrument as an art form,
Picture
..with  the added benefit of producing music.
