(Rec March 2, 2011) My name is Ghenady Meirson. Friends call me Ghena. Between operating PrivateLessons.com - http://www.privatelessons.com, and coaching at The Curtis Institute of Music - http://www.curtis.edu and the Academy of Vocal Arts - http://www.avaopera.org, my practice time is zero. To keep my piano playing in top shape, I made a New Year's resolution to practice one hour a day, every day, rain or shine. When I was a student at Curtis, my piano teachers included Seymour Lipkin, Mieczyslaw Horszowski and Vladimir Sokoloff. My latest project is the Russian Opera Workshop for singers and pianists.
