The benefits are manyfold playing the piano and it is never late. What piano piece are you learning today? Does your New Year resolution contain a bit of "fun self care" by playing an instrument, (any) or creating art or craft?
If yes, please, share some of your fun ideas - especially AFTER you did something! That's where the REAL joy lies!
Happy learning, pottering, making! 🥰

That’s right..
back to 432Hz
The frequency of harmonious living
As opposed to the enforced 440Hz
The frequency of unease and disarray
All orchestral instruments - including the piano, although a solo instrument - was altered, corrupted..
The time is approaching when our precious musical instruments will be designed again to hold the “harmony frequency”: 432HZ.
Years ago I found out from my piano tuner that you can not just tune to the harmony frequency when the instrument itself is built to an other.. it’s the tensility force that can or can not withstand tightening.. with the end result being too lose or crushing tight..
Fascinating right?
And the lengths in art, medicine, education and all sorts of deceptive governing.. that they engaged in to take Humanity off course, disoriented..
The end of the corrupting all harmonious life forces is here..
back to Nature..
using ai for help with menial tasks
not for lame dystopic aspirations..
Why even our histories are corrupted so we can’t even learn from past downfalls..
Why everything is coming to light - by the prompt of ever increasing amounts of deception cutting light..

🎵 Yesterday we had our wonderful end of year recital..
With soo many heart-felt, emotional moments..
🎵 Thanking for some dedicated busy bee 🐝 mums, we now have some pictures and videos commemorating this year.. 🙏🌟
🎶 Added specialness: this year is my 30-th teaching the piano in Australia..
surreal and extremely satisfying..
🎁 Hundreds and hundreds of meaningful student and family connections later, we had ups, downs, amazing results, little ones turned into young adults, some are even chose the path of professional musicians, some stepped away to discover other things, instruments, sports, chess, outdoor skills or art, some just to return the second time around.. even after years away from the piano..
🎵 Yesterday it was SO heart-warming to see this day and age not one but several family duos playing!
I guess this IS the epitomy of my JOY..
🎹 I shared with those parents, grandparents and kids yesterday who came, (usually about 2/3 of our school community), what stands out the most to me, reflecting on these past 30 years..
and that is:
🎶 to let students be unique, no squeezing them into cookie cutters.. , to ask them how was their day, how are they feeling, are they thirsty after a frantic day in school..
Just really the basics.. and never compare them.. learn together with and from their PERSONAL pace..
🙌 Praise them when warranted, not for perfection, always for focus, patience and effort.. for giving things a go..
encourage them to go for things.. don’t hurry them.. those who come from stressful family lives - and who doesn’t nowadays especially?
. the last thing they need is hurrying them without SEEING them..
praise effort, wanting to do well but not out of fear for wanting to be seen and wanting to be accepted..
but for measuring their own limits.., flexing their magical little muscles..
I am most grateful to work with incredible families.. who do, yes, become family extensions .. sometimes for more than 10 years in a row..
My heart is full!
Love you all
Never stop playing 🎹🙌💖🦄🌈🎁

The important question lies in which ASPECT of improving your current musical choice are you wishing to spend time and attention on?
As there are several.
Welcome to ask questions about it because that’s what I work with, assisting students year in and year out.. -
For 30(!) years.. yes.. I know, it is surreal.

Always so exciting!
You can do it too!
Currently there are great specials to join in September.
Go ahead and subscribe to a fantastic resource and tool to assist you as a student or your students if you are a teacher on your piano learning / teaching journey! To have a good teacher is one thing, but to have support and feedback on a software platform once you gone home and you are by yourself where you need tangible guidance is an other!
Upon signing up you even have about a month of complimentary time to evaluate the software, the functionality and your sense of comfort in learning - Go piano learners, accelerate your learning, experience the sight reading component that, on its own is an enormous opportunity for quick progress! Discuss it with your teacher that you wish to learn in conjunction with this tool if they don't already incorporate it! Ask them to check it out. As somebody who taught the "traditional way" for 30 years - 2025 is my anniversary ☺️ - initially I was very skeptical - only until I tried the system. I thought technology is "time wasting, this must be an other gimmick, rather a toy or can not do justice".. well, was I surprised!?
It takes a bit of educating self and others, adjusting and shifting in perspective because people think our beautiful acoustic pianos become redundant.. OH GOD, NO!!!
Piano Marvel is a practise and support tool where your learning is tailored to you. You can adjust one hand practise, slow down the pace, get feedback on note and rhythm accuracy, you can develop your musical ears, technique, theory, you can listen first to a song you wish to learn then try etc etc etc!
THEN you take all your favourite songs that you learnt well straight TO your favourite acoustic piano! This is how it works!
I only started working on this invaluable tool last year after discovering it and by now more than half of my physical school is a platform user. I can say the most cost effective is the year subscription that allows you to practise 24/7 for 365 days.
In fact this gold mine poses an entirely unexpected challenge for the learners! Our job as teachers now includes to explain that having say 26.000 (!) songs on the library at no extra cost, - your copyright is included in your subscription fees (!) I know, this itself takes a while to take in.. :-) - does not mean we will aim to learn every song, I now started to explain that learning the "conventional way" normally involves perhaps 2-3 book per year (!) say 10-20 songs at an average difficulty level.. so here we need to "keep ticking" patiently with our progress - yet that will still be much faster due to the far greater exposure to learning!
If you appreciate this insider info and decide to sign up, you can use my affiliate code: MarchiesPiano - all one word two capitals - and I'll receive a small reward for sharing my experience, insights and endorsement at no extra cost to you.
So go and grab your subscriptions in the best time of the year: back to school September!

Dear Piano Players,
If you are in our Piano Marvel Community already, check out the September Challenge! It is starting as we speak and this whole month will be spent in the Method and Technique sections! That means, during September you can collect a ton of Good Cause Supporting Golden Tickets as you are playing through "one more time" the easiest - and gradually increasingly complex pieces.
Those of us who were practising for a while on Piano Marvel, we played these songs many times!
So to participate with as much joy as you can if you are a more seasoned student who is revisiting Method and Technique, you can just SPEED UP your songs as you go through them while you literally "rake in" those valuable tickets! 🙂
But the best part is that while we all tidy up our performance and sharpen our playing skills we support school children in adversity - please see the details on the PM website, how they use the amount from the Golden Tickets turning into money!
Also if you were planning to join PM the first time, it is my highest recommendation that you do if you really want ongoing support beside working with your teacher. PM had great specials for September!
You can also use my affiliate link to join if you like "the sound" of PM, (pun intended)! You don't pay extra, I just receive a small appreciation from PM for recommending them after teaching the piano the "traditional way" for 30 years..
My affiliate link is "MarchiesPiano" all one word on www.pianomarvel.com
Go pianists, have FUN, progress and do good in the World all at the same time! 🎼🙌🎹
