What happens

Piano Lessons is an American music education television series featuring piano lessons from Giuseppe Aldo Randegger. It originally aired in New York City on W2XAB (now WCBS-TV), a then-experimental television station of Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), from October 8, 1931, to 1932. Piano Lessons is among the earliest regularly scheduled television programs. Due to a lack of any preservation the entire series is widely accepted as being completely lost.
