Learning Piano is fun, rewarding & can be transformative, but…
My real goal is that all new moms and dads have the help they need to be confident in raising kids who are confident, feel safe, and who have internal empathy. And really, we all need help. My deep down hope is that every single parent who wants it, has access to the Baby-Led Piano™ method, regardless of their ability to pay.
But having a cool music program and some great parenting principles only helps when your basic needs are met. So, making an impact in the community is a value I take very seriously.
I invite you to learn more about a few of the organizations Little Bird Piano Academy™ supports & partners with and to join us for the in-person and online events we sponsor and participate in!

André Mehmari – Solo Piano Concert
Friday, September 27th 7:30pm
Proudly presented by Classic Pianos & Jazz Night School
Brazilian pianist André Mehmari returns to the Pacific Northwest for a solo performance at the beautiful First Congregational Church in Bellevue on Friday, September 27 at 7:30pm.
To music lovers and critics in Brazil, André Mehmari is a musical wonder and a source of national pride. For his work as a pianist and composer, he won the 2023 Grand Prize awarded by Brazil’s leading music journal. To the ear, imagine a meeting of Mozart and Keith Jarrett in Brazil, Mozart for the intensity of his creation, Jarrett for his relationship to improvisation at the modern piano. His standards, however, are the compositions that comprise what he calls “The Great Brazilian Songbook,” works written at the same time that the Great American Songbook was created, and equally rich in lyricism and sublimity.
All of the world’s songbooks and literatures are his realm, a borderless inspiration expressed in his compositions and improvisations. The latter takes special form in his solo piano performances where he invites the audience to give him suggestions which, in the moment, he spins into an improvised suite.
He invites you to come to the concert with the music you love and offer it for the creation of these one-time-only but forever memorable creations. Come hear one of the greatest musical minds of our time.
I hope to see you there! Click below to purchase tickets in advance.
