When I Broke My Hand,
I Was Told I'd Never Play Piano Again
I'm Lisa Spector,
a Juilliard graduate.
I'm Lisa Spector, a Juilliard graduate.
When a bizarre fall caused seven complicated fractures to my right hand (needing four surgeries), my hand therapist told me I’d never play piano again.
Little by little, I applied a series of secret techniques I’d learned from the best, until I was playing Chopin Sonatas and Etudes, Rachmaninoff and Brahms to my heart’s content.
What got me there? I call them my Piano Ninja Tricks, and now I’m teaching them to you in a live virtual Piano Ninja Tricks Mini-Course!

What Piano Ninja Tricks™ Members Are Saying
“Lisa has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share in her tips and tricks that is sure to be valuable to any serious pianist, amateur or professional.”
Elizabeth B.
“The beauty of Piano Ninja Tricks is that some of the topics wouldn't come up during a one-on-one lesson but are quite helpful to study in a casual, virtual setting with fellow pianists. And, I really loved the session on The Mind Game.”
Eric H.
“With Lisa's positive encouragement, I recently performed my first full public recital in over 25 years, playing music I only dreamed about in my past!”

Are you a dedicated Intermediate to Advanced Level Classical Pianist — teen to senior — that loves playing Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and the great composers, but…
- You're tired of everything taking so long to learn
- You feel like you're wasting away your practice time
- You don't know which étude or sonata to play first
- You can't figure out an efficient fingering.
You’ll learn tricks I acquired from my studies with (name drop warning) Earl Wild at Juilliard, John Perry while getting my master’s degree at U.S.C., and during private lessons with Leon Fleisher.
I’ll teach you to start with good habits and avoid the bad habits that cause major time sinks that get you stuck on the same piece of music forever without it ever getting easier!
Whether you’re playing Bach Preludes, Chopin Ballades, or Brahms Intermezzi, you’ll learn tricks to make your time at the piano more enjoyable and productive.
I may not be your teacher, but I can be your practice buddy, guiding you in the right direction whenever you need me.
I’m here to support your teacher and make your lessons more enjoyable and easier for your current teacher.
Because, when you’re establishing smart practice habits on the days in-between your lessons, it’ll speed up your progress you make during your private lessons.
