Episode 25 – Piano Legs
In this episode of "Piano, Finally", David Reidy returns after an unplanned three-week break with a deeply personal update. Following an unexpected hospital stay for surgery, David reflects on the incredible support he received from colleagues, family, and friends during his recovery. This leads him to explore the metaphor of "piano legs"—the essential support systems we all need to balance the challenges of life and learning a new skill.
David dives into two standout resources for piano learners. First, he reviews Bill Hilton’s YouTube channel, highlighting the video Master Chord Loops + Mini Progressions On Piano, which explains the "why" behind popular chord progressions. He also discusses Hilton’s Patreon content, which is perfect for adult learners wanting to strengthen their foundational skills. Next, David talks about Guy Michelmore’s Music Fundamentals course bundle, an accessible and evolving resource for understanding music theory, suitable for all skill levels.
David also updates listeners on his progress at the piano, including his work on Fritz Spindler’s Canon and Someone Like You by Adele. Despite the interruption to his practice routine, he shares how he’s regaining momentum with the help of his teacher and dedication to understanding the music’s structure.
Topics Covered:
- Personal reflections on balancing life and learning piano after a health challenge.
- Review of Bill Hilton’s YouTube tutorials and Patreon offerings for adult piano learners.
- A deep dive into Guy Michelmore’s Music Fundamentals course and its approach to music theory.
- Updates on practicing classical and modern pieces, including dynamics, transitions, and performance prep.
Join David as he blends personal insights, educational resources, and motivational advice for anyone passionate about learning the piano or overcoming life’s hurdles.
