Welcome to Vaguely Music, where co-hosts Ryan Strumpfler and Kelsey Jacobsen go inside the minds and lives of people in the industry. Tired of the same old "I practiced really hard and now I'm famous" story line? We hope to pick apart the stories and see where luck, networking, and sheer bravado make the difference from living room performer to industry contributor. We also discuss the MANY ways to be involved in the music community, from full-time performer to enthusiastic part-time hobbyist; sound engineer to instrument manufacturer; manager to networker; teacher to writer, and more.
Episode 4 - Variety shapes us: a talk with pianist and teacher Rieko Tanaka
Rieko Tanaka was born in Shizuoka, Japan. Her passion for the piano began when she started formal lessons at age three. She has distinguished herself as a classical pianist and jazz musician. She can play anything, including blues, rock, and the American Songbook. According to Tanaka, variety is the spice of life and is what makes each person uniquely themselves as a teacher, performer, and artist. Join Ryan, Kelsey, and Rieko as they discuss how variety in learning, performing, and collaborating can give you a unique perspective and understanding that other people can learn from or appreciate in your unique musical voice.
