What is a pianogram?

play.jpg

Michael Collins Pianograms are personalized, custom-created piano and singing greetings recorded onto video and sent to your loved one in an email.  Whether it be for a birthday, holiday, anniversary, or any other special occasion, each pianogram is individually created and delivered by email to whomever you choose on his or her special day. Michael Collins Pianograms are guaranteed to bring a smile!  Best of all, pianograms can be revisited, as all pianograms are archived on Vimeo.  If you would like your video to be private, we can arrange that as well with a Vimeo password that we will send to the sender and receiver only.  Please allow 5-7 business days for the creation and upload of each pianogram.  Thank you!

My Story

Galchi_Exhibition-26-680x1024-2.jpg

I was born in Bethesda, Maryland in 1983. At 13 months I was diagnosed with a rare genetic neurodevelopment disorder called Williams Syndrome (WS). Although WS causes medical and developmental challenges for individuals living with it, I strive to live my life to the fullest extent and to not let this diagnosis stop me from dreaming big and achieving my goals.

​

I loved growing up in Maryland and was fully included in my neighborhood school which I attended. I made a lot of friends there during the first 8 years of my life. With them I became a part of the Cub Scouts and also was a part of basketball and soccer teams in my town. When I was 8 years old I moved to Rhode Island with my family and began to build upon my musical talent.

​

In 1997 I attended a camp developed by the Williams Syndrome Association called Camp Belvoir, which is located in Lenox, Massachusetts. While there, I discovered that my love of music went far beyond just listening to it; I learned that I could also sing and play an instrument. After graduating from Portsmouth High School, I attended the Berkshire Hills Music Academy in South Hadley, Massachusetts where I continued to develop my musical skills.

​

I also sang with Newport Navy Choristers. I have played the piano for many events in Rhode Island including a performance at Salve University’s illustrious Ochre Court for a Looking Upwards Holiday celebration as well as during the Installation of Officers for both the New England Kiwanis Governor’s Installation and the Newport Kiwanis’ chapter of the Aktion Club.

​

I started this piano gram business as a way to share my musical talents and bring joy to others for their special occasions.

​

While making your loved ones happy, it is also important to me to have the chance to make others feel good as well. That is why I have dedicated a portion of the proceeds from each pianogram to benefit both Looking Upwards, Inc. and the Williams Syndrome Association.

​

Sincerely,

Michael Collins
