Piano Ninja Tricks
The Piano Ninja Tricks Podcast is the show for adult classical pianists wanting to play the classical music of their dreams with joy and ease.
Meet your host, Juilliard alum and Piano Ninja, Lisa Spector. She's sharing her treasured tricks honed through years of study with legendary mentors Earl Wild, Leon Fleisher, John Perry and Lillian Kallir.
But here's the remarkable part: Lisa's journey to piano mastery was interrupted after an unexpected fall led to seven complicated right-hand fractures, resulting in four surgeries over several years and a medical professional telling her she'd never play piano again. Her resilience and unique insights will inspire you.
If you're a classical pianist yearning to practice less and play more, you've found your musical oasis.
Dropped every Thursday. Season 2 starts October 24, 2024.
Tune in, and you'll soon discover your inner Piano Ninja!

MASTERING CLARITY: A Piano Ninja Trick for Fast, Clean Passages
Join me in this podcast episode as we explore the secrets to playing fast passages with clarity and precision.
I share a Piano Ninja Trick that will help you achieve clean and clear notes, demonstrated through Bach's Chaconne arranged by Brahms for left hand only and Chopin's Revolutionary Etude.
This trick, which involves a unique feeling of pulling each key up, is particularly effective in the middle register of the piano, where the piano register tends to get very muddy. Give it a try in your own music and let me know how it works for you.
