A professional is someone who can do his best work when he doesn’t feel like it.
Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.

The decisive moment, it is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event
its proper expression.

“Start playing the notes outside of the scale. You will find yourself exploring a sound that is unique to who you are…”
From a conversation I had with a Cuban man who came over to my piano and showed me a few ideas and gave me some tips on my playing. He wasnt an incredible teacher or player. He was just a man who wanted to learn some piano and took a few good lessons. But what he showed me, opened up those doors I’ve been looking to go through.
There is a whole other road of exploration that I need to walk down in finding my own unique sound. The journey is only just beginning.
Following this blog was definitely a good choice. Godspeed, piano man!
