Shaffer (edited to fit) Maud Powell was born on August 22, 1867, in Peru, Illinois, on the western frontier in the American heartland. Her grandparents had been Methodist missionaries in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Illinois before the Civil War. Her father William Bramwell Powell was an innovative educator; superintendent of the public schools in Peru, then Aurora, IL, and finally Washington, DC Her mother Minnie Paul Powell was a pianist and composer whose gender precluded a career. Minnie and Bramwell’s sisters were active in the woman’s suffrage movement. Maud’s uncle John Wesley Powell, Civil War hero and explorer of the Grand Canyon, organized the scientific study of the western lands and the native Indians as the powerful director of the US Geological Survey and Bureau of Ethnology and founder of the National Geographic Society. A prodigy, Powell began violin and piano study in Aurora, Illinois, then studied violin four years with William Lewis in Chicago, to whom she “owed the most.” She completed her training with Europe’s greatest masters — Henry Schradieck in Leipzig, Charles Dancla in Paris, and Joseph Joachim in Berlin.

When I was younger I had the full set for each level, with lesson book, recital book, theory book, and technique book, but I’ve been out of those for a while and now I just study by learning and playing solo pieces. I’d like to get better at piano now that I don’t take lessons anymore, and want to expand my library and learn more. I have the FGH classic scale book and the complete set of Hanon exercises already, if that helps.
