A Musical Tribute to Mothers and All Women

mother is an original composition I wrote in honor of my mom—and in celebration of mothers and women everywhere.

This course is a companion experience within the Live Love Piano learning journey—offering a single expressive piece you can grow with over time.

From a Student

I was able to learn this in time for Mother's Day and play for my wife. It's beautifully melodic! I especially love how you included variations in the harmonies and rhythm. This was my first complete song that I've been able to learn on piano!
