My oldest daughter is a pianist; she plays concerts. We play together, also.

My daughter is one of my greatest inspirations. She's an environmentalist, she plays piano, she's raising money for the earthquake victims in Nepal. Every day she surprises me and teaches me something.

I have two daughters.

My younger sister had kids before I did, and managed to earn a master's degree while raising them as a single parent. Now she's a brilliant second-grade teacher. I'm in awe of her ability to juggle everything and still be a great mother.

The people who raised me musically are my mother, who is a classically trained pianist, and my stepfather.

You know, my family is very musical, I was surrounded by it. And from four years old I was the one that asked my mother could I take piano lessons.

I have four of the most incredible children. And I have five grandchildren.

Both of my parents are actually music teachers.

I have fabulous children.

I just feel energized when I am around young, talented people. There is something about these kids that's amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me.
