Improvising some blues on my student’s new-ish Hailun baby grand piano (China has become quite competitive in the piano-manufacturing arena!).

Practice tip: recording your practice sessions (and even your lessons) can be a great way to objectively judge your progress on everything from posture to dynamics and everything in between.

Happy Friday everyone! Imagine’s new website will be up very, very soon (along with some exciting announcements). In the meantime, here’s an interesting take on how Radiohead (according to Dave Stewart, one of the most “chordally liberated” bands around) writes a song.

Very interesting article on the advantages of a random (as in interleaved) practice schedule over the traditional blocked practice schedule. As I've often told my students, "once your brain has checked out, move on to something else."

Have you ever been frustrated by the fact that you can take a difficult passage, work on it for a bit, get it sounding pretty good, but return to the practice room the next day to discover that you're back at square 1? That nothing has really changed?
