Best Piano Lessons in Glenview, IL

I just watched an oldie 60 minutes report on a piano competition that happened in the 70’s. It showed 60 to 80 contestants vying for a first place that will give them fame and fortune. Every judge knows how high the stakes are. This is a make or break situation, really. If these people do not get chosen, they will simply not be able to have a job in music. At least, that what the narrator indicates. As the report moves on, there are less and less pianist still playing. I believe the final will have six contestant, no more. Now, the judges ask what they want to see: “Can you play a bit of that Mozart sonata?”, “I’d like to hear the Beethoven again”. It’s a sign they want to evaluate fairly. After all, the life of someone is at play here. The pianists bathed in their sweat, holding onto their nerves, afraid and eager to play all at once. They are super focused, they have practiced so much for this event. They are a mess, they are heroes, they are what you want to be and they are what you don’t want to be. The last part of the competition is in front of an audience. The theater sits more than 500 people. Meaning it isn’t just family and friends that watch. It’s even more nerve wrecking.
