My goal is to inspire you to lead an adventurous life, playing the music you love.
I’m here to help you practice smarter using creative piano advice!
Piano has been a part of my entire life and I’ve taught music to many students, so I know that given the right practice techniques, anyone can improve.
I play piano. On the blog, I often discuss how to be a better musician and use research to help others build a life they love.
Piano resources to get started
- How perfect pitch can hurt pianists
- Ghosting, a technique to improve finger independance in piano.
- Playing faster repeated notes.
- Chunking, how to learn music faster. I use this in almost all of my piano practice sessions, and it works for any instrument.
How Asperger’s helps or hurts musicians
- Why I suspected that I had Asperger’s early in the year.
- There is a high chance that people who excel in piano have Asperger’s as it takes a lot of concentrated and solitary practice. Most people don’t figure it out until later in life.
- In my writing, I realized that there were many situations where I didn’t know how I was supposed to act. That is a sign of Asperger’s. I could fake social skills and you wouldn’t know how hard it is. In fact, I am so good at faking it that healthcare professionals don’t believe how hard it is for me to remember to eat lunch.
- The stories about my dad were hard to write but here’s one of my favourite. Or this one about how I would want to be remembered.
If you’re following my writing as a story, here are a few people who often come up on the blog.
My goal is to never stop growing– I’ve made many mistakes– but I invite you to come along with me, on this journey.
