Marty had seven piano teachers - from a blind neighbor who taught him to play by ear, to a jazz expert who proved that musical genius is really just hard work.🎹

Each one shaped him, not just as a musician, but as a person. Marty still has big dreams…and he hopes you do too.🎶

BTPM Classical Host Marty Wimmer reflects on piano teachers who have made him the piano player that he is today.
