- Feel sad that some people think that everyone should have same taste in music and play everything exactly as it was written

- And actually the manner of not clapping during a performance was developed in modern times. back in the days concerts were a lot more casual people talked and clapped whenever they wanted to and there was a lot of moving around.

In recent years, people have devised methods to take care of the body to ensure that it stays in top form. Just as professional athletes watch their diets and have enough sleep so that they are in tip-top condition during training and on the track, pianists have their unique ways with which they take care of their bodies to ensure they are on top of their game.

One such approach is known as Piano-Yoga, a relatively recent technique developed by virtuoso pianist Génia.

This is one of my favorite cartoon movie classics by Henry Mancini. I started with a funky bass line and then switched to a walking bass line.

It goes into a stride piano section before coming back to the main melody. It finishes with a quadruple time ending. I hope you dig it!

The Beatles used a piano called the Mrs. Mills piano that had that tinny sound.

I've had this small upright piano for a while and I've always wanted to add a pedal to give it that similar ragtime/honky tonk/tack piano sound.

In the biz, it's called a "mandolin rail" and it's a pretty simple modification that gives a really unique sound to the instrument.

This pedal modification allows you to get the honky tonk sound on the fly.

All pieces have been carefully selected to ensure that each book is nothing short of a ‘teacher’s toolkit’ – works that any teacher would want their pupils to learn as part of their musical journey.

Each book is authoritatively graded, with techniques introduced progressively throughout. The books are equally valuable for learners working towards a grade exam, between grades, or playing for leisure, building technical skills and confidence. With an elegant and attractive design, and unrivalled range of repertoire, this is an essential collection for piano teachers and learners alike.

Have you ever stared in amusement at how big the piano seemed in comparison to a young child who was playing it? It may be surprising for the common folks to know that the keyboard of a piano actually has a standard measurement. One may then question the absurdity of a one-size-fits-all piano when we know that many other instruments like the violin or guitar are customisable in size to fit the needs of different people.
