For a few years now, the Northern Essex Haverhill Campus has been graced with the sound of music.  The hills are alive… well, Haver-hill!  

Upon entering the Spurk building’s front doors, students and faculty are greeted with the vibrant colors of this beautiful piano and if they’re lucky enough, an accompanist to go with it.  This beautiful piano has been displayed on campus since September of 2021.  Alisa Bucchiere, the head of the music program, had this to say on the video announcement when the piano was first put into the Spurk building; 

Those who are up to the challenge or just love to play the piano are encouraged to post a video of them playing it on social media using the hashtag #neccmusicthrives.  

One such person who took part in the challenge was music student Austin Parent who played a small tune on the painted piano.  

Another post posted by the NECC Liberal Arts instagram account showed someone playing a rendition of Imagine by The Beatles with the caption “Imagine a peaceful reverie in Spurk.” 

 Another video also posted by the NECC Liberal Arts account shows one person playing on the piano and their friend dancing to the tune in the background.  

Come and show your love of music and post your piano playing skills to the NECC social media.
