A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center
For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

Problem with trills
on: September 26, 2006, 06:17:20 PM
Hi, I asked before for some tips to improve my trills and they said I should use not only my fingers but my forearm as well.
I've been practicing, and yes they've improved a lot. But now I have a different problem.
I can play short trills but when I have to play a long trill I can't make it to the end. I play with my 2-3 fingers. What happens is that I reach I point where the note that's played with the 2nd finger doesn't sound but the note I play with the 3rd finger still sounds.

Do you have any tips to solve this problem?.  Right now I'm playing Mozart sonata k332, and I can't get to play the trills in the second movement correctly.

Thanks in advance
