World Piano Day is this Sunday.
This weekend, music lovers everywhere are celebrating a very special day: World Piano Day, held annually on the 88th day of the year in honor of the piano’s 88 keys.
For 11-year-old Juliana Severin, this year’s celebration comes with an extraordinary personal milestone: performing on the world-renowned stage at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Juliana’s journey with the piano began when she was just five years old. After trying multiple activities, including gymnastics and ballet, the piano was the first thing that truly clicked.
Her mom, Emily Severin, remembers, “Her 4-year-old feet couldn’t even touch the floor, but something just felt different. Once a piece came together, it was beautiful. We realized she wasn’t just learning music, she was building focus, patience, and confidence that would carry her through life.”
Over the years, Juliana’s dedication has been remarkable. Emily says, “Her commitment is incredible. She practices almost every day. Watching her grow from pressing one finger on the keys to dancing across the piano has been amazing.”
Her hard work and passion culminated this past summer when she took the stage at Carnegie Hall.
“There were a bunch of other kids, and when we got to check out the piano and the acoustics, it was so cool!” Juliana recalls. “It’s the feeling that I get to express myself through music, and I get inspired by these artists.”
For Juliana, performing isn’t just about hitting the right notes; it’s about sharing a piece of herself with the audience. Emily says, “I had goosebumps the whole time. I was so proud of her! And I was proud of every kid up there. It takes a lot of guts to go up there.”
Playing alongside her younger sister also made the experience even more special. Juliana says, “I wasn’t as nervous. If I played there alone, I would be really nervous, but playing there with my sister, it was a lot more fun and less nerve-racking.”
At The Music Studio Atlanta, where Juliana studies, performances are about more than recitals; they’re about building confidence and resilience. Cecilia Rowe, CEO of the studio, explains, “We try to provide as many performance opportunities as possible. I’ve seen it change children’s lives, I’ve seen it change adults’ lives, too. We want you to get up and make a mistake so you can recover, because that’s life. You want to be able to do it again and then hear the applause at the end.”
Juliana encourages other children to try the piano or any instrument. “Just try out piano, it’s a fun instrument to learn! It’s like, when you’re bored, it’s a hobby. It can even be a full-time thing,” she says.
This World Piano Day, Juliana hopes her story inspires others to explore the piano and discover how music can brighten their world.
