Thanks for the recommendation mike2aces, but I do have a huge collection of dusty sight reading books and sheet music. A couple of years ago I...
Thanks for sharing this. I don't usually make the effort to listen to modern music but really enjoyed your playing of this elegant piece.
I forgot to mention - 3 grade levels below my most recent exam would be UK grade 7; if I could sight read that stuff I would consider myself a...
Thanks for your wise advice, Eddy and Alexander. I've been thinking about it a lot because I wasn't very keen on your suggestion to start with...
Hello, I've been doing one exam after another since I started learning the piano about 9 years ago and am finally about to start enjoying some...
Hello Rachfan, Thank you very much for your kind comments. Yes, I see what you mean about that forte chord ... I do make it sound like one of...

Hello, My playing is rather erratic. I'm learning some studies to improve my technique and have attached an example: Czerny Study no. 18 in Ab...
What a lovely interpretation. I've been trying to record this piece for months (and have given up a few times in between too!) but keep making...
I can only comment on the Jardins because this is a piece I played at an exam a year ago, so I got to know it in detail and listened to many...
