For anyone interested, here is a radio interview I gave last week with Flautist Liz Childs. We chatted to Nick Coffer on BBC Three Counties Radio about various musical projects and music education in general.

For much more information about how to practice piano repertoire, take a look at my piano course, Play it again: PIANO (published by Schott Music). Covering a huge array of styles and genres, the course features a large collection of progressive, graded piano repertoire from approximately Grade 1 to advanced diploma level, with copious practice tips for every piece. A convenient and beneficial course for students of any age, with or without a teacher, and it can also be used alongside piano examination syllabuses too.
You can find out more about my other piano publications and compositions here.

I bought your book ‘so you want to play the piano,’ I am really enjoying reading every word. I am an older student taking lesson with a lot of questions, your book has helped immensely. I even found a new teacher, it is like I pulled her right out from your book. Thank you
Hi Joan, Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I think this is one of the best book testimonials I could ever wish for. I’m delighted that you have found a new teacher and everything you need for successful piano study………Good luck – I’m sure you will make swift progress.
