Lisa Spector, Pianist - Creative RX Series

Lisa Spector, Juilliard Alum, Piano Ninja & Resilience Coach for Musicians

Pianist Lisa Spector brings artistry and resilience to this Creative Rx program. After a hand injury transformed her performing career, she discovered new ways to heal, adapt, and create through music. Lisa will perform works for one and two hands, sharing how music became both her recovery path and her voice for connection. Participants will experience the calming, restorative power of live piano music while reflecting on how creativity can support resilience in their own lives. Through her story and performance, Lisa demonstrates how limitation can spark possibility, and how music can nurture strength, adaptability, and joy.

Juilliard alum and Piano Ninja Lisa Spector is an award-winning pianist and educator who has performed internationally, including in China’s largest arenas of 18,000. She has taught at the university level, founded and directed a music school in Half Moon Bay, and won national piano competitions.

After a traumatic accident in 2017 shattered her right hand, Lisa redefined her artistry by performing left-hand-only repertoire and discovering that music comes from the heart, not just the hands. She now performs with both one and two hands and is the founder of The Piano Ninja Tricksters Club, where she helps a global community of adult classical pianists learn twice as much in half the time with her Piano Ninja Tricks™.

Lisa also made history as the first classical pianist to top the Billboard Classical charts with music designed to ease canine anxiety.
