Music is extremely important when we educate the young people. It also trains concentration, discipline, the ability to express yourself, the ability to connect to audience, and it makes you a freer person because it teaches communication. And these skills can serve you very well regardless what your profession later on will be.
What does it take to build an artist? In this surprise bonus episode of The Piano Pod, I speak with Pavlina Dokovska, concert pianist and chair of the piano department at Mannes School of Music. We discussed serious piano study today, the role of mentorship inside a conservatory, and how community shapes long-term artistic growth.
I feel very, very passionate about Mannes. Ever since I went into Mannes and I met colleagues, I met students, I felt the whole atmosphere. It's a very special world. It's a very family-like school. Students, parents, faculty, patrons, we all are feeling like we are a family. This is one word that always comes to mind when I say Manus.
This is a conversation about leadership, responsibility, and how artists are formed. The episode drops tonight, Tuesday, February 17th, at 8:00 PM Eastern time on our YouTube channel and all podcast platforms. Don't miss it.
