At Piano by Nature, we are committed to enriching the cultural landscape of the region by fostering a deep appreciation for classical music through innovative educational outreach programming. Our mission is to inspire and engage audiences of all ages and backgrounds by bringing the transformative power of music to schools, community centers, and underserved populations. We wholeheartedly believe in the ability of music to educate, elevate, inspire, and unite. Through our outreach programs, we aim to cultivate the next generation of musicians and music lovers, nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for the arts!
We deeply appreciate your invaluable role in nurturing a love for classical music in everyone we serve. Your contributions have made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful!
During Ben Modal’s visit to Willsboro CSD, he presented two silent films for the entire school (PreK-12) and provided live accompaniment to the movies. The 8th-grade general music class also wrote and produced their own silent film in anticipation of Ben’s visit. They had a “world premiere” at the assembly just before Ben’s session!
