April 20 - April 26: Listening/Instrumental Assignment (remember that listening assignments apply to the weeks during which the listening is assigned.)

This next year we will be focusing on one major concert pianist each month. This month is Olga Kern

Check out her website a little bit each week (and her current schedule!): http://olgakern.com/

Question: Why do you think she won the Van Cliburn competition?!
