One of the biggest challenges for a piano teacher is to convince his or her students that learning piano is fun. That’s completely understandable, because learning piano takes a lot of time and practice, and kids generally don’t understand the concept of deferred gratification. Any normal child will have a hard time concentrating on something […]
Given the chance, most kids will opt out of the many hours of piano practice even though they want the fulfillment of being good at playing the piano. The truth is, the same applies to adults, but they have grown-ups have a much better understanding of how life works, so their resistance will be much […]
Practice plays a crucial role in any piano player’s life – it’s one activity that determines how successful you will be as an instrumentalist.

Well, in the […]
“What are those pedals for?” – As a pianist, I get asked about pedals quite often! Its actually somewhat surprising how far some piano players can get without knowing what all of the pedals do. They all have very specific applications, and produce very distinct results. Some we use more than others, and they sometimes […]
We’ve often heard music compared closely to language. We have even heard of music referred to AS a language. This recent study from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Medicine in Baltimore has found a very strong link between language and music- specifically jazz improvisation. It makes sense to focus on Jazz. It is a predominantly improvised […]
