under the piano with Tiffany Poon

The reason I wanted the episode to be about memories was because a few days before, I was invited back to Juilliard after 4.5 years of not stepping inside that building. I needed to go back to accompany my volunteer at Together with Classical to his cello lesson to prepare for our fundraiser concert together. I had conflicting thoughts and emotions. I spent 12 years walking in and out of that building... It's not that anything terribly bad happened. It's more like memories of experiences that you have enjoyed in the past might not be the kind of experiences that you would enjoy now or have good positive feelings about anymore - purely because you've grown up. 

Pianist Tiffany Poon analyzes and talks about her memories upon returning to Juilliard and reminisces about other childhood memories of growing up in New York.

First episode! Of course, it's about starting new stuff... Starting from an overview of how Tiffany Poon learns a new piece of music as a pianist, your questions inspire her to talk about how she goes outside of her comfort zone to start new stuff, tips on facing insecurities when starting new journeys, and also... is anything really actually new?

Pianist Tiffany Poon previews her podcast, from under the piano. Stay tuned!
