The Piano Ninja Tricks Podcast

The Piano Ninja Tricks Podcast is the show for adult classical pianists wanting to play the classical music of their dreams with joy and ease.
Meet your host, Juilliard alum and Piano Ninja, Lisa Spector. She’s sharing her treasured tricks honed through years of study with legendary mentors Earl Wild, Leon Fleisher, John Perry and Lillian Kallir.
But here’s the remarkable part: Lisa’s journey to piano mastery was interrupted after an unexpected fall led to seven complicated right-hand fractures, resulting in four surgeries over several years and a medical professional telling her she’d never play piano again. Her resilience and unique insights will inspire you.
If you’re a classical pianist yearning to practice less and play more, you’ve found your musical oasis.
Dropped every Thursday. Season 2 starts October 24, 2024.
Tune in, and you’ll soon discover your inner Piano Ninja!

Welcome to the last episode of Season 2 of the Piano Ninja Tricks Podcast! 🎧✨
In this special episode, I’m taking you inside a YouTube Live Masterclass where we tackled one of the biggest struggles pianists face—feeling stuck in slow progress. If you've ever repeated the same passages over and over with little improvement, this is for you!
I’ll introduce you to Piano Ninja Tricks designed to help you:
✅ Develop smart practice habits
✅ Gain confidence and ease at the piano
✅ Play with intention rather than mindless repetition
✅ Remember your “why”—what first inspired you to play
Plus, I share a personal story about how I fell in love with the piano as a child and the powerful role warm-up pieces play in making music from the heart. 🎶💙
