Podcast appearances and mentions of hugh sung

When I saw a couple of recent projects that Hugh Sung had been working on since the pandemic hit,  I knew that I had to have him back on the podcast and talk through what he was doing. Hugh Sung is one of the most creative people I know when it comes to harnessing the power of technology to enhance our music teaching.  As co-founder of the excellent AirTurn foot pedal, Hugh has inspired me for years. We dig into a number of topics, including Hugh’s Online Virtual Chorus and Orchestra Project, the collaborative sheet music reading app Newzik, cool ways to get a more immersive lesson experience in Zoom, and much more. Enjoy, and be sure to follow along with Hugh on YouTube, Instagram, and his immensely useful blog.

Jeff Russo was one of the two founding members of the rock band “Tonic”, perhaps best known for their number one hit in the 90s, “If You Could Only See”. Nowadays, Jeff is in demand as a TV and film composer, having scored music for hit shows like “Fargo”, “American Gothic”, and can currently be heard on the new FX Marvel series, “Legion”. Welcome to A Musical Life. I'm Hugh Sung.

Jeff is now a highly sought-after film and TV composer, having scored the music to the new show “Legion” based on Marvel's mutant comic book characters and currently airing on FX.

Today on the podcast I speak with Pianist, techie, author, teacher and entrepreneur Hugh Sung, who has been described as a modern day “renaissance man”. As a pianist, Hugh served on the faculty of The Curtis Institute of Music for 19 years and has recorded over a dozen albums and collaborated with some of the world's leading musicians and orchestras. As a techie, he pioneered the use of digital sheet music and co-founded AirTurn, a company that makes wireless pedals for turning iPad and computer pages hands free. Hugh leverages his love of technology to teach hundreds of students around the world through his Online Popular Piano School at ArtistWorks, and is also the host of a popular weekly podcast, “A Musical Life”, a show where he shares stories about making music and the things that move our souls. Through his online Mastermind group at “A Musical Life Mastermind”, Hugh empowers musicians to gain entrepreneurial skills to help them achieve their musical and financial dreams. In his free time, Hugh loves to cook and is currently obsessed with the joy of making Indian flatbreads. We discuss Hugh's successful podcast and mastermind, his recent interview with none other than the famous cellist Yo-yo ma, being a digital paperless musician, the AirTurn, online teaching, and working as, and with, collaborative pianists. The giveaway for today's episode of the podcast is a lifetime subscription to the “A Musical Life Mastermind” with Hugh sung which is just an amazing opportunity.

At the end of my interview with classical music radio host Jill Pasternak, we decided to have a bit of fun and turn the tables where Jill interviewed - me! How strange to have a show where I'm my own guest! So - here's my "official" bio: Pianist Hugh Sung started to learn to play the piano with his mother at the age of 3. At the age of 13, Hugh entered The Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with Eleanor Sokoloff, Jorge Bolet, and Seymour Lipkin. Hugh teaches piano to hundreds of students online through ArtistWorks, a website that features video lessons from some of the world's leading musicians. His passion for technology led to him co-founding AirTurn, a company that creates digital accessories for musicians like the DUO page turning pedals for tablets and computers.

In part 2 of my interview with violinist Aaron Rosand, we delve into the obstacles he faced early in his career, the wisdom he shares with his students about life as a musician as well as why he fell in love with his beloved ‘Kochanski' 1741 Guarneri violin, the violin that was his voice for 50 years.

Described by the New York Times critic Harold Schonberg as “one of the great living exponents of Romantic violin music”, Aaron Rosand has captivated audiences and critics the world over. His recordings have been hailed by Gramophone Magazine as “some of the greatest recordings of this century”. For over 50 years, Mr. Rosand performed on the  ‘Kochanski' 1741 Guarneri violin. In 2009, he sold it for $10 million, and subsequently donated $1.5 million of the proceeds to The Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied as a student of Efrem Zimbalist, and where he currently teaches a new generation of master violinists. When I was 19 years old and still a student at The Curtis Institute of Music, Aaron Rosand invited me to perform with him as his pianist for a concert tour of Japan and Korea. That began a 20 year collaboration filled with memorable performances and recordings, and a friendship that continues to this day.  Despite this, there were many questions I still had for Aaron, so our conversation went on for some time and I hope you'll enjoy and learn a thing or two - I know I did.  Here's part 1 of a 2 part interview and conversation with violinist Aaron Rosand.
