Liberace

From Art J – Mr. Pop – My aunt once spoke of going to a “Liberace” music school in Kansas City. Did the famed pianist actually have a school there?

Mr. Pop History – Liberace Music schools were franchised back in the late 1950’s and I can confirm there was one in Kansas City. Your aunt probably took a 26-week music course in half-hour lessons. Featured in those schools was a keyboard device with lighting attachments for teaching music visually.

Come back soon, as I answer, to the best of my knowledge, another one of your pop history/culture questions.
