Guest Panelist: Norman Malone Chicago native Norman Malone discovered and began playing the piano at the age of 5. At ten years old Malone’s father attacked him with a hammer to the head. He was left with right-side paralysis, but could still use his left hand. It turns out there are piano compositions exclusively for the left or right hands. Malone taught himself to play the piano with his left hand and fully mastered his playing, joining an Orchestra at the age of 79. 
 When not performing, Malone became a beloved music and choir instructor and conductor. He taught in public schools for 34 years and has a very large wall of testimonial plaques. 
Malone is also the subject of the documentary film “For the Left Hand”, event attendees will receive a link to the film post-talk.
