Virtual Piano Studio™ is a Networked Music Performance Studio providing a structured environment where you may perform, record, and develop your work over time. Built initially to leverage JackTrip, a networked performance technology developed at Stanford, our model works equally well with commercial video conference and live music performance platforms, through which we enable new production processes for independent artists.
Virtual Piano Studio™ is a service of Perpendicular Systems, the technology division of Virtual Harmonics, LLC.
Virtual Piano Studio offers a cohort-based piano studio for people who want to learn music with others, not alone.
This is not a drop-in lesson service.
Virtual Piano Studio™ provides a cohort-based performance environment where participants:
• develop repertoire over time
• record real performances
• participate in structured sessions
• build work they can actually use
This is a long-form practice — not a short series.
We teach music as patterns you can see and feel—not just notes you read.
This studio is built on methods I developed over 15+ years of teaching playing-based methods to students of all ages, including approaches that help students who never felt comfortable with traditional music reading.

4) Playing With the Greats™ - Networked Music Performance Program
Check out this great video of my new program: Painting Music™ - Object Oriented Music™, OOM™ which is producing an "OOM Sketch" - or a visual map - of the symbolic instruction set that I use when I am playing the piano. So it is a map - of the instruction set - that I use in my mind - as a piano teacher who has specialized in methods of playing the piano - built on playing-based knowledge - rather than traditional notes.

Bel Canto Productions™ is a service of Perpendicular Systems, the Technology Division of Virtual Harmonics, LLC, providing composable business technology architecture, design and consulting services for distributed music production, performance and distribution.

Have you ever wanted to play with a really good band? Not sure how to make that happen? Check out my new Networked Music Performance Program "Playing With the Greats™", where you can rehearse, perform and record with local pros. I know a lot of great musicians who would love to back you up!
Our methods were initially inspired by a class which I attended at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics in the technologies they have developed to enable geographically distributed music rehearsal and performance. This product, Jacktrip, and others such as JamKazam allow musicians to connect from different geographical locations and play together, and increasingly Zoom and other commercial video conferencing products are adding "live performance" options as well. These new capabilities are the technology backbone of my private music studio, Virtual Piano Studio™ and the enabling factor that makes some practices of this work possible.
