A chord stands on its low notes, and so does a patio: a pianist’s notes on pavers, water, winter and the questions to ask a builder. A cooling system should be as quiet as a held rest, and knowing its sounds helps you tell a hush from a warning. A bathroom rings like a snare drum, so a remodel is your chance to choose how the room sounds as well as how it looks. Plugging in at night is the new wiping down the strings: a small, steady habit that makes every cold morning on the way to a gig easier.

Who am I?
My name is Burton Greene, and I am a pianist. I’m most passionate about music and what it can do for people – to bring joy, comfort, insight, or even provoke thought.
Music has been my passion since childhood – from learning to read sheet music in elementary school to attend the Royal Conservatory of Music’s programs at the University of Toronto. I also love writing about travel, inspiration, and technology.
