I finally released my 89 piece mega-work called "Scenes of Singapore". I completed this last year but was not on time for National Day, so I have kept it in stasis until 2020.

I finally released my 89 piece mega-work called "Scenes of Singapore". I completed this last year but was not on time for National Day, so I have kept it in stasis until 2020. For those who are interested, the entire collection comes complete with sheet music for viewing and playing directly from the video. The video clocks in at 2 hours 53 minutes and it was quite a challenge creating it.
Each piece is tied to a constituency of Singapore (based on the 2015 Election). The title of each piece starts with the first letter of the particular constituency. See the video below. I sincerely hope you love the entire collection as much as I enjoyed composing it. Please like, subscribe, and share. Thank you.

I've learnt this the hard way that discipline is truly the only key to success. And here I'm of the opinion that Hannon induces that discipline factor in the piano learning. But let's be practical, discipline is most definitely boring, so I'd limit these exercises to maybe 15 minutes a day, or whatever is comfortable relative to each individual, but never NEVER oppose it totally.

A beautiful slow-tempo indie pop piano ballad which talks about a breakup, where the lover is implored to make a statement that could potentially reverse plans, with the singers expressing humility, sadness and regret.

The ultimate test how well you know the music is if you would be able to play it mentally away from the piano. You may need to move your fingers in order to get through the piece at first. It is a advisable to have the score next to you so you can refer to it when you are unclear about what is written. Practice this way until you can play through the entire piece away from the piano hearing all the parts and imagining all the finger and hand movements.

“If life was a piano, light and darkness would be the keys. And shadows would be the melody that creates the harmony.” ― Joe Rodriguez
Avett Ray Maness is a 6-year-old piano prodigy from Dayton, Ohio, who not only taught himself to play piano by ear – but he's also blind.
"The moment he could pull himself to reach the piano, he was playing the melody to 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,'" Avett Ray's mom, Sara Moore, told CBS News. That was when he was just 11 months old. Avett Ray has since gotten a piano teacher, who helps him learn new techniques and classical tunes.

Movie: The Pianist based on true story.
Amazing to hear someone recollect an event in history so prominent and so tragic. Can't even begin to imagine the suffering so many people must have endured during that time, particularly those not as lucky as him. Hope the Captain is resting in peace, he 100% deserves it. Also, for the record,
The Pianist deserved every single award it won, and more, especially Adrian Brody's haunting performance. Brilliant film!
