Biography

Trick began playing piano at the age of five.[2] Her interest outside classical music began at the age of ten, when her piano teacher introduced her to ragtime.[3] She received her BA degree in music with honors from the University of Chicago in 2009.[2] Trick demonstrates piano performance and composition styles of stride, ragtime and jazz piano from the 1900s to the 1940s.[4] She emphasizes jazz standards, stride and boogie-woogie tunes with an accent on her specialty of Harlem stride.[5][6] Trick and her husband, pianist Paolo Alderighi, reside in both St. Louis and Milan, Italy, his home town.
