Get a new teacher?
BRIDGETON, N.J. (AP) - A 16-year-old pianist is suing his music teacher for allegedly confronting him on stage during a Carnegie Hall competition and slamming the keyboard cover on his fingers as they argued over what piece he would play.
Bryan O'Lone of Vineland, N.J. also says Yalena Ivanov publicly berated him during the Young Pianist Competition of New Jersey event, stripped him of a $350 US prize he had earned at an earlier organization event and barred him from taking part in a trip to a musical festival in Italy.
