MGMT - A Piano Student Succeeds!

Twenty years ago, Ben Goldwasser, co-founder of the band MGMT, began his musical career at the age of nine in duet with me at the piano. He was one of my early students. Ben's father, David, said that it was the support and creative freedom I gave Ben that helped him gain confidence in his abilities. MGMT has become world-famous and nominated for two Grammys.

I offer this as encouragement to EVERYONE. When the creative spirit is nurtured, recognized and freed, it can lead you to amazing places! Good on 'ya Ben!
