23.01.2022 There are so many jokes about this composer. I could make you a Liszt.

22.01.2022 The Power of Music.....

22.01.2022 What do you call a cow that can play a musical instrument? A moo-sician.

21.01.2022 A few words form Schoenburg It would be inconceivable, said Schoenberg, to attack the heroes who make daring flights over the ocean or to the North Pole, for their achievement is obvious to everyone. But although experience has shown that many a pioneer trod his path [with] absolute certainty at a time when he was still held to be wandering half-demented, most people invariably turn against those who strike out into unknown regions of the spirit New music is never beautiful on first acquaintance. Often forced onto the defensive like this, Schoenberg plunged fearlessly and often beautifully into the unknown, shattering the seemingly unbreakable rules of Western tonality that had prevailed for centuries. In reimagining harmony in so-called ‘tone rows’ he altered the course of classical music forever.

21.01.2022 A little witty!

15.01.2022 Something technical: Use Your Pinky Tip The pinky (finger 5) is your shortest and perhaps least muscularly developed finger, so sometimes I see finger 5 cheating by lying flat on the key when it plays. The problem with a flat finger 5 is that it collapses your hand position, and it will fail to develop muscular independence and agility in finger 5. Finger 5 should have some curve like all the rest, and only the tip of the pinky should be touching the keys. It’s true that since finger 5 is shorter than your other fingers, it does not necessarily need to curve as much to find a comfortable playing position on the keys. It is important to not tightly over-curve the fingers. Remember, the whole point of curved fingers is to find a relaxed, efficient, and comfortable playing posture

12.01.2022 Martha Argerich (1941-) The world woke up to the phenomenal talent of the Argentinian pianist Martha Argerich in 1964 when she won the International Chopin Piano Competition at the age of 24. She is now arguably the greatest living pianist and can sell out concerts in minutes.

09.01.2022 When a magpie joins your ukelele group Vanessa from Urunga in NSW writes, "I teach a ukulele group and due to COVID-19 we are currently meeting up on my back ...verandah each week, so as to comply with current health regulations. "The great thing about that is my resident juvenile magpie has started joining in. Let me introduce Cheeky, and she loves to sing. Here she is helping the uke group with their C scale practice."
