This is the first in a series I’ve decided to make called “piano in pyjamas”
At 40, I seem to have found my way back to playing piano most days, usually in my pyjamas, as a way to unwind. The day is mostly done, the (hopefully) moment of quiet before the dinner, bed chaos as a mum of a 9 and 6yo. I play songs that make me smile, relax, or sometimes loud angry stuff - whatever happens to be taking my fancy at the time.
I am a classically trained pianist with an AMusA who used to teach piano. Professionally I’ve taken a different path now (trauma nurse manager and researcher) and I don’t know that I’ve ever enjoyed making music more than I am right now.
These are not designed as performance vids, there will be mistakes, I will be sight reading, my hair will be a mess, my makeup is off, I am in comfy clothes. I’m relaxing with music and hopefully you might too.
