Hey Family! We are 3 days away from the first live Q&A with me taking place August 27th 1PM EST via zoom. To give you some insight on how the Q&A will work: The first thing I want yall to do, is to post your questions in the “Ask Cliff” thread so that I can really give you the answers you’re looking for. Secondly, because this is going to be on zoom, I won’t be able to play example during the live call due to the sound quality. Zoom isn’t really meant for live instrument playing. With that being said, I am currently testing out other platforms that will remedy this issue. However, you can still ask me piano related questions, and I will answer them to the best of my ability. I am really looking forward to meeting you all!!!!

So many pianists can play the notes, but few can make people feel something. When you sit down to play — what’s the hardest part for you? A. Knowing how to shape a phrase B. Controlling tone and dynamics C. Feeling emotionally connected to the piece D. All of the above 😭 👇 Drop your answer below and I’ll reply with a short COPET tip that’ll help.
