Piano recital culminating dissertation research of online piano lessons

From the Studio of Rebecca Bellelo

I invite you to a piano recital culminating my dissertation research of online piano lessons on Saturday, December 17th, at 2:00 in the LSU School of Music, Room 115. This recital will feature traditional face-to-face piano students, as well as distance piano students, all of whom have studied with me for the past 7 months. Located in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and British Columbia, these distance students will join us by Skype and demonstrate the keyboard-to-keyboard connection we've utilized for lessons. The face-to-face students will play before a live audience. The entire recital will be streamed online at the following link:
