He has shared the stage and the studio with some of the most creative musicians of our times. Jovino is available for lectures on the connections between biology and music, usually coupled with his live performances. He taught at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle for 26 years.
As music trends evolve, the piano continues to hold a meaningful place in modern music culture. While production tools and digital platforms change how music is created and consumed, the piano remains closely tied to emotional storytelling.
Unlike many household items, a piano is not designed for short-term use. Acoustic pianos, in particular, are built to last decades when properly maintained. This longevity changes how ownership should be approached.
