William Joseph shares love of piano with N. Ogden students

NORTH OGDEN — North Ogden Junior High music students sat spellbound for one hour as they listened to world-renowned pianist William Joseph tickle the ivories and offer words of wisdom on being successful in both music and life.

A year ago there wasn’t even a piano to play at the school. The Legacy Music Alliance, a nonprofit group in Salt Lake City, helped the school purchase a baby grand piano for its music program because the school’s piano was 50 years old and falling to pieces.

So when the group started working with Joseph’s label to promote his latest CD, it seemed like a natural fit to visit North Ogden Junior High School. Keith Sorensen works for the alliance and was excited to visit the junior high and present Joseph to the students Thursday.
