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 Dokowska, concert pianist and chair of
the piano department at Manus School of Music.
We discuss 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 Manus. Ever
since I went into... Manus, 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 p .m. Eastern Time on our YouTube channel
and all podcast platforms. Don't miss it.
