Always researching!


With autumn days drawing in, warm afternoons spent in the garden seem like a distant memory!

This was my holiday reading only three weeks ago. It was written by the wonderful Nicola Cantan, whose piano teaching blog I follow avidly. In the book she decribes how she guides her students towards more effective home practice.

My piano students really only see me for a very small fraction of their week, so helping them to find constructive ways to continue learning and developing at home between lessons is something I see as very important. Nicola's witty 'cures' to common practice 'ailments' will be definately making several apperances in my studio in the coming weeks.
