Piano Ninja Tricks

Lisa Spector

The Piano Ninja Tricks Podcast is the best place to learn piano tricks to make your Bach, Beethoven and Chopin easier for you. 


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. 

Every Mindset Monday, Lisa delivers a Piano Pep Talk to supercharge your practice week. And on Thursdays, she unveils a Piano Ninja Trick from the keys, ready for you to apply to your own music. 

Tune in, and you'll soon discover your inner Piano Ninja!
