Piano Styles: Lola Astanova
Lola Astanova’s name may be new to you, but it is very familiar to her countless fans around the world, many of them of an age and demographic that classical music has spent decades trying to reach. With a direct pianistic lineage back to Liszt and a distinct visual flair, the dazzling young pianist has perfected a riveting, deeply emotional style that hearkens back to the old masters.

StreetcredMusic: Piano Styles, Champian Fulton
Piano Styles
“What has keys but can’t listen to the beauty it unlocks? A piano.”
Champian Fulton:
Born in Oklahoma, Champian is considered one of the most gifted pure Jazz musicians of her generation. She grew up with music in the home; her mother and father (Jazz trumpeter and educator Stephen Fulton) recognized her fascination with music at an early age. The presence of her father’s musician friends, including Clark Terry and Major Holley, inspired her focus on Jazz. Her first paid musical engagement was with her own band at Clark Terry’s 75th Birthday Party; she was 10 years old.

StreetcredMusic: Piano Styles, Licia Missori
Piano Styles
“Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.”
“These fingers of mine, they got brains in ’em. You don’t tell them what to do – they do it.”
Some memorable quotes from musicians. Let me show you some of the people I know, and their unique styles.
“The important thing is to feel your music, really feel it and believe it.”
Licia Missori, Pianist and composer from Rome, Italy, she began to play and compose at the age of three or four. During the last 15 years she has been conducting concerts both as a soloist and in collaboration with other artists, accumulating hundreds of concerts in Italy and abroad.
She works at freelance music transcription and teacher of music theory, solfeggio and piano.

StreetcredMusic: Rita Castor on Patreon, An Op/Ed
Open Letter To: Musicians
Re: Patreon
I ran the indiemusician route for several years. Now I'm established in the music biz as a teacher. No, not teaching music or voice, teaching how to run a music business. A business of one or a full band, you must create an income from your product. Business #101.
I want to talk about Patreon. I myself have received several communications from musicians I know to join Patreon, and literally help support them financially.
I feel sad that they have asked me to do this. Sad because I know they are all being taken advantage of by venue owners who will not pay them for their gigs. Venue owners who are literally stealing from them, and profiting from their labors.
Of course the obvious solution is for all musicians to demand a payment for their gigs.
But egos won't allow them to put themselves in demand. That's a subject for a more serious time.
I am also a bit insulted that I'm being ask to give money, when they give their talent away, so venue owners can make hundreds if not thousands of dollars while they are on stage.
Summing up, what you are doing is asking your fans, who buy your music, come to see you, buy a drink or two, maybe some food, gas money, travel money, to also give you a monthly salary.
While the bar is full at anywhere from $10 to $14 dollars a drink, and they give you nothing.
Have you considered how it feels to get a request like that?
Rita Castor.
