I was very happy to welcome composer Tyler Seidenberg to my studio to do a workshop on composing/improvising with the students- about 30 students participated in the workshop with their parents in attendance and IT WAS FUN !!!  Everyone learned a lot that day and some kids got to play with Tyler in duets and improvisation  !! They were excited to hear him play different music- his compositions , popular music, kids favourites - he could play everything and very well!! He was definitely a HIT and I am pleased that a week later, kids have come back to music class revved up and excited to play piano, compose, improvise and jazz up their playing !! THANKS Tyler !!! Here is a photo from that day... For more photos and great videos, please click on my facebook link posted above.
