Coming up next on VoiceBox: The Multitasking Vocalist: Singers who accompany themselves on the piano

Learning to play the piano while singing isn’t easy. It requires years of practice and the ability to multitask, rather like playing a drum-kit. Join Bay Area chanteuse and pianist Jill Tracy and VoiceBox host Chloe Veltman for a conversation about how to combine these two distinct skills to make beautiful music.

The program airs this Friday, August 16, 2013 from 10-11pm at 91.7 fm or www.kalw.org. (Re-run: This program originally aired on February 11, 2010).
