Brown Piano Studio Youtube Channel
The BPS youtube channel is used to supplement piano lessons. You can find video tutorials of pieces that I have written for my students. I will often send students here to review a piece or a technique that we practiced in lessons. Included here is a video of the first blues piece I teach all my students!
