Pianist returns to Flathead Valley sharing music with students

Jordan Neiman has been waiting roughly two decades to play the Yamaha grand piano that now sits to the back of his music studio.  

His parents purchased the black piano for him, but in pursuing his education and then career in music, Neiman was moving around the country and often living in spaces not large enough to accommodate it. Sitting behind the musical instrument, Neiman, 35, recalls a recent session when he played into the early hours of the morning.  

With a laugh he admits since moving into his new home off Stillwater Road over the holidays, he hasn’t had anyone stand outside while he plays to make sure he’s not disturbing the neighborhood in the still under construction subdivision.
