25.01.2022 Some mid-week inspiration

24.01.2022 Super interesting article on why so many people over the age of 33 find new, popular music so difficult to appreciate. And no, its not because music is getting worse. What I take from this? Time to start exploring more new music!!

21.01.2022 Heres a cool video that shows you the inside of a grand piano - animated!

20.01.2022 Wise words to keep in mind for those seeking to go beyond pure performance in music (and perhaps, also for those who wish to perform). Keep searching, keep questioning.

20.01.2022 This is gold - the theme of Game of Thrones recreated on a bunch of electronic devices. The composer used his software skills to change the vibration output of the devices to create different pitches, and this is the glorious result. The things you come across on Youtube!

20.01.2022 With all the craziness about Coronavirus lately, many teachers hurriedly try and take their lessons online, sometimes leaving parents and students stumped as to what THEY need to do to make this work. Never fear though, online piano teacher Barbara is here with a new blog post that outlines what you need to set up for your lessons.

19.01.2022 Well there you have it from a cognitive scientist. Everyone should learn to play the piano... regardless of age! Couldnt agree more

18.01.2022 Why is anyone surprised? Ever tried to learn a Bach fugue?? 40 minutes trying to perfect 3 bars... heck yeah musicians can concentrate

18.01.2022 Great article on how its never too late to start your musical journey!!

18.01.2022 Always good to start the morning with a laugh!

18.01.2022 If you know your chords, this is hilarious

18.01.2022 Back after 3 weeks overseas and with virtually zero practise, my fingers feel a little numb today. Could also be the jetlag Reminder that the studio reopens next week Monday!

16.01.2022 Dont miss this Google Doodle celebrating the majestic J.S. Bach!! Probably my fav doodle ever - you can write a simple melody and the doodle will harmonise it for you Bach-style. Try it out! #GoogleDoodle

15.01.2022 This week on the blog, I focus on.... piano exams! Ever considered taking an exam? Or perhaps youve never heard of them and wonder what they are? Hop on over to my blog post, where I highlight the benefits of exams, as well as some pitfalls/misconceptions that can lead people astray. Happy reading!

15.01.2022 Does this sound familiar?

13.01.2022 One of my favourite videos! Explains what happens in your brain when you play music. :) Spoiler alert: FIREWORKS!!

11.01.2022 Looking for a way to be more effective when practising? Planning your practice each month and each week is a great option! For those of you who enjoy planners and goal setting, this blog post from earlier last year features my free practice planner. Take a few minutes to read the blog post to understand how to use it too.

10.01.2022 Yep sounds right

10.01.2022 A good one to remember

10.01.2022 Some further tips on how to create a more advanced set up for your online lessons! :) Includes a microphone recommendation!

10.01.2022 Sharing because its TRUE

09.01.2022 Aaah scales. Daily treat or bane of your existence? If the latter, let me try to persuade you of their merit. ;) New blog post!

08.01.2022 Up nice and early for day 2 of #pianopivotlive. Day 1 was so great, was lovely meeting so many teachers from around Australia and beyond!!

08.01.2022 This is not just true for jazz tunes. Sometimes we need to be able to be satisfied with good enough when were working on classical repertoire too. Its so easy to fall into the trap of perfection - particularly with classical repertoire as so many are under the impression that you either play it perfectly or not at all. This is crazy! The problem when you have to perfect every single piece in your piano career is that it may stop you progressing because you spend ages and... ages perfecting one piece, when you could have learned a huge variety of repertoire and have had the experience of playing so many more syles and techniques. My personal rule of thumb is: I only perfect the pieces that after determined, detailed practice still excite me. If I feel my interest in a piece wanes before its even at 60 or 70% then it means I wont have the stamina to learn it to 99%.

08.01.2022 My pro tip for the week: Learn more easy repertoire alongside your harder stuff! I really recommend students, once they get to the intermediate and advanced stages, to look BACK as much as they look forward. Find out why I believe this is crucial to your development as a pianist in this weeks blog post!

06.01.2022 Wishing everyone a spectacular, but above all, musical 2020!!

05.01.2022 Funny and cute!

05.01.2022 If youve ever worked in an office, youve probably been subjected to... the office radio! Love it or hate it, according to this research, it may not always be the best idea in a shared working space.

05.01.2022 Here is none other than Lewis Hamilton playing piano with Lang Lang. Well done Lewis on that song! (And for not stopping and panicking when he hid a wrong note - because it doesnt matter)

04.01.2022 Is learning to play the piano something on your bucket list? Before you dive in, ask yourself these five questions to ensure you are ready for learning.

04.01.2022 Forget talent. Good pianists are excellent at practicing.

04.01.2022 This was taken on Wed, me fresh off the plane and looking wonderfully frumpled hahaha. What an awesome 3 days we had together. It was pretty darn tiring, but wow, what an amazing team. Met some spectacular people, learned some really interesting things from top music teachers that I cant wait to implement in my lessons.

03.01.2022 Woop Woop! New blog post! And an important one too. All about the art of practising and an overview of the 3 phases of learning performance repertoire.

02.01.2022 5 minutes that will make you LOVE the piano

02.01.2022 Oh bless! I hope I will be like that when Im 96 and can look back on decades of being the best teacher I can be.

02.01.2022 pretty close!!
