Clara's Piano Corner

This channel was created to demonstrate professional performances and teaching tips relevant to serious piano students of all ages. Created by international artists and teachers, Dr. Ivona Kaminska Bowlby, and Dr. Christopher Bowlby, featured videos and commentary ranges from early intermediate to advanced works we all know and love.

As with all artists, the creators share their music with their feline friends, who may also be featured in some videos. One of our current furry family members was named after one of the world's first great female piano virtuosos, namely Clara Wieck-Schumann. Clara (the cat) hears us discuss music and teaching for the last many years and has grown very knowledgable about the subject. She may opine on occasion.
