Stairs

The studio stairs were rebuilt just in time for the new school year. I'm proud that in April we will also build a stepless entrance so that my home and studio can more easily welcome everyone. September 2024

Final Lesson

My student, a rising college freshman, came for her final lesson. I helped her transition to an iPad and prepare for secondary piano and chorus auditions a her new college. (Update: she did well on both!!) You don't need to major in music to continue loving and learning music! August 2024

Teaching

Our students worked so hard to prepare for our final concerts at Summer Performing Arts with Juilliard. Here's an action shot during one of our masterclasses. July 2024

Avishai at Carnegie Hall

Bravo to Avishai who performed at Carnegie Hall in NY as a top prize winner of the American Virtuoso International Competition! December 2023

Peter Parker

Beautiful performance by Peter Parker at our Halloween Dress Up Concert. I am impressed that he could see well enough to perform wearing his mask, but he did take off his gloves! October 2023

Clair de Lune

A young student and I talked about how playing the piano is about communicating a story, emotion or scene. I played Clair de Lune for him, then shared the Line Rider animation of this work. He asked why the man and sled became separated - an amazing question! It's a matter of interpretation, I explained, and for me the rider and chair would reunite and float off into the clouds. This is the beauty of learning piano and studying a piece: each musician can find and create their own story!

Such a pleasure to perform Debussy's Trois Poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé with the gorgeous soprano Deborah Selig; I look forward to more delightful collaborations together! Chameleon Arts Ensemble, October 2023

Practicing

Goal of the day (less than 2 weeks before concert days): committing tricky spots to memory. Looking forward to performing with my amazing friends at Chameleon Arts Ensemble. September 2023

Michigan

I am visiting my elderly parents more often, this year, and had my childhood piano tuned and worked on. How interesting it is to be home with my parents, practicing new repertoire, and getting familiar with this old friend, again. September 2023

Ipad and ForScore

A good number of our studio pianists are transitioning to ipads, this year, and what a positive development this is! It means more easily having your piano scores if you live in 2 households or go on vacation, making notations in different colors, sharing notes between pianists with airdrop and more! September 2023

What a joy to work with our pianists at Summer Performing Arts with Juilliard! July 2023

Icebreaker

Piano ice breaker: I was eliminated early! Summer Performing Arts with Juilliard, June 2023

Studio Sign

Legally I'm "Chang" but that's pretty common, and my lovely married name "Freiheit" is often misspelled (and mispronounced). My youngest students call me Miss Vivian, my older students call me Vivian. At this program, I am referred to as "Dr." and came up with my initial "V" as a compromise to the formality. If I had my choice, I'd simply be Vivian to everyone! In fact, I believe things might be so much better in this world if we were all on a first name basis! June 2023

Zoom lesson

We've been meeting online for the past 2 years! This was our final virtual piano lesson before meeting in person for the first time at Summer Performing Arts with Juilliard! June 2023

Piano Fingers

Who says piano fingers can't be beautiful? My student arrived dressed for summer in this month of celebrating pride! June 2023

Recording

Beyond competitions and college supplements, I think it's wonderful to have a recording of yourself playing a piece you have lived with and mastered, just because! Recording recital pieces has been a totally fun experience to share with my students, this week! June 2023

Studio Concert

Incredibly proud of our studio pianists who shared their amazing hard work and beautiful music in our summer concert! June 2023

Rehearsal

The best way to end the day: making music with friends. January 2023

Piano Scores

Back in the olden days, I had to carry my heavy piano books in a large satchel. It's amazing how this ipad has simplified my life. I have over 500 scores stored in my virtual music library, and the ability to easily notate and send fingerings to my students, and make set lists for performances. Amazing! January 2023

December Concert

What a beautiful way to end the calendar year, celebrating the hard work of these wonderful students! December 2022

Half-day

So nice to work with students earlier in the day and at a more relaxed pace when there are half-days at school! November 2022

Lulu

There's always so much tenderness going on under my piano. I am grateful for Lulu, who keeps me company and brings out the best in us. November 2022

Lesson

My student and I met with Professor Arthur Greene at the University of Michigan for an amazing piano lesson on Chopin's 2nd Ballade, where we learned about getting "lost in the passion" and creating layers and depth of expression. Also noteworthy was our ability to meet from our pianos in India, DC and Ann Arbor! November 2022

Practicing

I am back on a practice schedule to prepare for upcoming concerts. Also, checking in on my own progress by recording practice videos. November 2022

ChameleonDress

For Andrew List's "Gargoyles of Notre Dame" I have strings marked to be plucked, a credit card for the plucking and a strategically placed ipad so that I have full access to the piano.

JuilliardVisit

Stopped by the K-12 office at Juilliard to say hello and begin work on several exciting projects! October 2022

StudioConcert

I am so proud of my students who performed with so much heart and finesse! As I told the pianists today: every time you share your music and your hard work, you not only get stronger and find more purpose in your practice, you make this world a better place. To all the music makers out there: play on and play strong! October 2022

Studio

I forgot to take a picture before many pianists left, however I am so proud of each of them for sharing their hard work in our first in-person concert of the year! October 2022

Videos

We continue to track progress both in and out of the studio by recording our run-throughs for analyses. Even a phone at the end of the keyboard does an adequate job! October 2022

Waiting/Practice Room

Experiment: brother pianists helped move the electric keyboard with headphones to the waiting room, this way one could practice while the other had their lesson! I also LOVED that they played 'rock, paper, scissors' stating that the "winner" (and not the loser!) would get the first lesson! Leaving the set up this way to see if other students appreciate it. I personally love it! September 2022

Practice Party

I truly have so much to learn from these pianists who showed up for Practice Party. Not only did they share details of their daily practice routines, they also analyzed why some days and weeks can be hard. We discussed the difference between process and outcome goals, and why it's helpful to focus on the process: the little steps needed to accomplish a big goal well. These pianists warm my heart, what a great way to start a Saturday morning! September 2022

Two Pianos

The studio welcomed a second piano in time for the new academic year! It means a lot to the previous owner, who is downsizing, that the piano will be played everyday and loved. And for me, it means the world that this piano will give me opportunities to continue learning and growing. I look forward to introducing piano duets and quartets to the studio this year! August 2022

Maram

I am so proud of this courageous, hard-working pianist. During my 3 years of mentoring her, she taught me about working hard and keeping hope, even when there seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes dreams come true! (And given current circumstances, I feel her arrival is what we could also call a miracle!) On August 10, she touched down from Afghanistan, days before the Taliban took over Kabul, and soon begins her piano studies at the University of Michigan. Fly, Maram, fly!

For Fun

As we continue to be mostly at home (and our nest begins to empty), the hubs and I learn new music and improvise on tunes. July 2021
