About UpperHandsPiano

Super Contributor

Tell us about yourself:

I am a 61-year-old married woman living in the Los Angeles area. We have two grown daughters: one is a restauranteur in the Hamptons, NY (Calissa is the name of her gorgeous restaurant in Water Mill!) and the other is getting her Master's at the University of Cambridge in England. I am a voracious reader and have been teaching piano and writing piano instruction books for 34 years! Since Covid-19 hit our area, I have been teaching piano online using Facetime, Skype and Zoom. It is a great way to teach and to connect with my students while staying safe!

Area of knowledge and what I know well:

Piano instruction for adults over 50, and I'm a music and cognitive science researcher. Check out my fun piano books here: https://www.upperhandspiano.com/

Certificates/Awards

I studied Women's Studies, philosophy and music at UCLA in the late 70s/early 80s.

I was a film composer in the 1990s-2000s (see my website GailiSchoen.com)

Re: What are you reading?

Yes, if it's really long, it's got to really grab you! I heard The Maid was great. I'll put it on my TBR list 📚

Re: Can You Eat Healthy For Two Days?

The Staying Sharp program has been helping me to lose weight! I have been increasing my protein and fiber at each meal and decreasing everything else, including snacks in between meals. Thanks for the recipes!
