She has been a PAD Board member, a member of our podcast team, a co-founder of RAMPD, and a Latin pop sensation. So, she's done it all, right? Not even close! Since we last featured Precious on the show, she's released several new songs, moved across the country, performed at some impressive venues, and (lest we forget) married our own producer, Shane Lowe. Join us as Lizzy and Precious catch up on where Precious's journey has taken her, her future plans, and what the Kennedy Center has to do with it all.

Keep in mind that this is our last episode before the NFB national convention in Houston. We hope to see many of you at our meeting and Showcase of Talent! If you need to join us or renew your membership in time for convention, visit nfb-pad.org/member. See you in Houston!

For part 2 of our series on classical piano, we're rejoined
by our panel of 3 accomplished blind pianists as we look into the practical
side of performing. How do they learn complex repertoire? How do they make that
big leap across the keyboard accurately? How does a pianist adjust the bench to
the perfect height and prepare for an outstanding performance? Lizzy and her
guests will address all these questions and more on this episode, plus we'll
hear what these musicians are up to next!

This month we begin our two-part interview with 3 talented classical pianists who will share their experience in the conservatory environment, share interesting insights about their diverse backgrounds, offer performing advice, and much more. Of course, we'll also hear a selection of their performances for all who love the piano to enjoy!

We're switching up the format of this month's episode as we share a recording of the membership call that kicked off 2023 in the NFB Performing Arts Division! That call featured a lively discussion with a panel of blind music educators who are making a difference in the lives of their students every day. Learn their creative techniques for dealing with the day-to-day challenges of the classroom, how they deal with their students' thoughts about blindness, what tools they use in their work, and much more!

We host these membership calls bimonthly on a wide variety of topics of interest to blind performers! Want to know when the next call is and how to participate? Become a member of our organization so you can receive our newsletter, join our events, and much more! Visit nfb-pad.org/member for more information.

Hang out with our host Lizzy and creative couple Dan and Michelle to learn about their relationship podcast, shared values, and advice for finding and keeping a partner on air and in life. Who knows whom better? What might they name a potential restaurant? How do they divide their duties on their show and at home? Tune in as these partners on and off-air slide in our DM's this Valentine's Day!
