MY NEW PIANO or KEYBOARD! - Share Your Story! From what I remember, the piano at the Lyon and Healy Hall sounded pretty decent, although with the state of my nerves, who know!Дigital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths &a. So sure enough, I participated for a fourth year just to win that cup! Shortly there after, I stopped taking lessons, only to resume them in college. It turns out that the points total from two superiors and one excellent was one short of the number needed for the cup. Panic! At any rate, I did manage to stumble upon more or less where I was supposed to go. In fact, I could make a case (no pun intended) for using this as a. Selmer New York/Lyon and Healy/Buescher case dimensions: 27x10.5ењ†. I asked the judges whether I could start over, but they told me to start as close as I could to where I froze. In the case, itвЂ™s actually smaller than an alto in two out of three dimensions and smaller than an tenor in all dimensions. Oh, but then that third year-Like you, I simply forgot where I was in the music. The first two years, my memory served me well, and I got 'superior' ratings. For some reason, I was bound and determined to win one of those. There were these trophies (cups, actually) that you could win if you accumulated enough points. What memories you brought back! I participated in 4 of those. I know this thread is over three weeks old, but I just discovered your posting about the competitions in Chicago. It may be that your grand has the sweat of my tiny child's fingers trapped somewhere within its keys! Lyon & Healy still makes harps here in Chicago, where they have made them since 1889, but they have long since stopped manufacturing pianos. My grade for the performance was 'Excellent,' but my younger brother, who received a 'Superior' for his own playing at a lower grade level that day, was sure that we would have been tied if I had not suffered that awful stage fright! The moderator asked, ever so gently, 'Would you like to start again?' 'Yes, please,' I replied, and I got through it. I froze and had no idea what I had just played or where I should resume. We were required to play without music, from memory, and somewhere in the middle of the piece I was playing, my mind went blank. Each student played one piece required of all students at his level, then another that he or she chose (usually after some strong urging by the teacher, who of course knew your skills). Once a year, the assocation of piano teachers to which my own teacher belonged had a sort of recital/competition at Lyon & Healy. Our piano at home was an upright, as was that of my music teacher. What a mix of memories your post brings to mind!ДЄ Lyon & Healy was the first grand piano I ever played on, at about age 12 (1949), when they had a showroom in downtown Chicago.
