In this interview series, I chat informally on camera to established eminent classical pianists and pedagogues about their training, musical education and careers. I tend to ask similar questions but the answers are so diverse; it’s been fascinating hearing how each artist’s respective musical education has shaped and influenced their careers. I feel very privileged to have interviewed so many wonderful pianists and I would like to thank them all for their time and interest in my series.

‘Melanie Spanswick’s collection of interviews is really quite something, super world class.’ – Japanese Concert Pianist, Noriko Ogawa.
Music Talk Series
This series is similar to the Classical Conversations Series, where I talk to eminent concert pianists live on camera. Music Talk focuses on those who work in areas related to the piano, music education and the music industry in general, reflecting the title of this blog.
