Wishing you a very Happy Festive Holiday and a Peaceful New Year
2022 has certainly had its high points and low points for us all, and with many world issues on our minds, it’s probably with a heavy heart that we usher in 2023. However, I want to thank you for your continued generosity and support in reading this blog. I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy a well-deserved break with your friends and family members. This will allow you to start 2023 renewed and refreshed.
Next year will be a busy one for me. I will publish more books and am grateful to be able to travel again. Do you live in Dubai, Oman, Hong Kong, Singapore, or Germany? If so, please consider attending one of my workshops. My new year begins with a book tour to Dubai and Oman. I will be working with teachers and students. I am so looking forward to it.
I leave you with this performance of ‘December’ from Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons Op. 37 bis. played by 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition winner Seong-jin Cho.

Dear Melanie,
I trust that you and yours are keeping safe and well. Have a great Christmas and New Year.
Yours in Harmony, AK. ________________________________
Thank you so much, you too!
Dear Melanie, a very nice ending with this beautiful work by Seong-Jin Cho. I wish you lots of working pleasure for the next year!!
Thank you, Martin!
Hi Melanie
Happy New Year to you! All the best for 2023 and going forward.
Do you have any workshops/courses in the UK during this year, please? Do hope so!
I do think Adult Piano Returners is a great group: thanks for your creation.
Happy playing!
Janie
Hello Janie,
A very Happy New Year to you, too. I am so pleased that you are enjoying the Adult Piano Returners Facebook Group – it’s great that we have such a lively and engaged group.
Most of my workshops will be abroad this year. However, I am possibly doing one for Presto Music (a large shop in Leamington Spa) in May but I don’t have a date as yet. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s confirmed. All the very best for 2023, Melanie
Thanks so much for your reply, Melanie. I’d love to hear about your possible workshop in Leamington in May, thank you.
All the best
