Dive into the transformative power of music and scripture with Margaret Wacyk on Prayer Piano. In this captivating episode, we explore the "Secrets of King David," uncovering how the biblical hero harnessed sound and intention to create supernatural healing and connection with God. 

Through an in-depth analysis of J.S. Bach’s I Call Unto Thee, Oh Lord (transcribed by Federico Busoni) and the story of King David’s harp, this episode reveals the profound impact of classical music and prayer on mind, body, and soul. 

Join us for an inspiring blend of music, scripture, and science that will deepen your spiritual practice and awaken your heart to God’s presence.

Key Takeaway Points Listeners Will Learn:

1. The Healing Power of Sound: Discover how King David used his harp to drive out tormenting spirits, as seen in 1 Samuel 16, and how classical music’s frequencies can calm anxiety, improve sleep, and promote healing.
2. Intentional Listening: Learn how combining intention with music, as David did, amplifies the spiritual and emotional impact, turning listening into a powerful act of prayer and surrender.
3. Classical Music as Worship: Understand how composers like Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven infused their music with faith, creating harmonies that reflect divine order and foster intimacy with God.
4. The Role of Octaves in Music: Explore the spiritual significance of octaves, representing God’s unchanging nature, and how they anchor us in faith amidst life’s turbulence.
5. Practical Activation Exercise: Gain tools to enhance your prayer life by pairing scripture (Psalm 142) with intentional music listening, unlocking deeper emotional and spiritual breakthroughs.
6. Supernatural Surrender: Learn how moments of musical tension and release, like Bach’s augmentation, mirror life’s challenges and offer opportunities to surrender burdens to God for divine resolution.

Tune in to experience a unique fusion of classical music, biblical wisdom, and practical spiritual insights that will elevate your prayer life and connect you to the unfailing love of God.

It sounds peaceful… healing tones, gentle vibrations, frequencies said to realign your body and mind. But beneath the surface, could there be a spiritual risk? Could frequency healing be opening doors Christians were never meant to walk through?

In this video, we’re diving deep — separating truth from deception, science from spirituality, and asking the question every believer should: Is frequency healing safe… or spiritually dangerous?"

"Some Christians say healing frequencies are a powerful tool. Others call them New Age deception. So, can believers use sound frequencies for healing—and what does the Bible actually say?"

In this final episode of Season One of the Music to Compose You Podcast, we continue the conversation with piano technician Marc Wienert.

The job of a piano tuner and technician involves much detail, precision and repetition.

This practice of 'micro focus' or living a 'high res life' creates an environment of excellence that bleeds into other areas of life like food, cooking, researching--even making the 'perfect cappuccino'. 

In today's episode, Part 2 of 2 we explore the topics:

-Why Marc calls himself 'a liar' and how piano tuning comes down to concealing a bunch of little lies. 

- Creating your personal 'sound archetype' for your sonic environment. 

-The difference between 'noise' and 'signal' and how this affects you from inside-out.

-How to bring a 'high-res' approach to everyday tasks for increased joy and discovery. 


It's not everyday that a novel is written about a piano tuner. And yet, a book about a piano obsession turned into a NYT bestseller and it features our guest, Marc Wienert.

The reason is that piano tuning is much more than the sum of its parts. Marc Wienert brings a holistic mind, spirit and aesthetic approach to his craft. His musings about the world of piano and beyond will open up portals of discovery.

I hope you enjoy this conclusion of a conversation with a fascinating man as we close Season One of the podcast.

Season Two coming soon!

In today’s we explore Beethoven’s serenely peaceful 2nd movement. 

It is the eerily calm centerpiece flanked by two tempestuous outer movements.

In some ways, it is the eye of the hurricane, a place of crystalline calm amidst the terror of the darkness.

The music asks: Where is your peace found?

We will explore this theme in a kaleidoscope of reference points, ranging from Rembrandt’s masterful painting, ‘Calming the Storm’ to exploring the new science around heart coherence.

In today’s episode:

• The 3 strategies to achieve inner peace the during stressful situations
• -Exploring the Storm at Sea painting by Rembrandt: Can you find yourself in this picture?

Why do some people stay the course to accomplish great things and others falter?

What is that indefinable quality that keeps high achievers going no matter what obstacles in the path?

You might think that it’s because of their talent or special qualities, but what if the answer is more basic than we think?

Today we will dive into GRIT: The perseverance it takes to stay the course.

And to do that we will take a trip to the woods to learn the secret of Grit from natures majestic survivors, trees.

Beethoven, the classic hero also has much to teach about GRIT…What did he know?

I will also take you into my practice studio as I roll up my sleeves and exercise grit through a perilous practice session at the piano as I get ready to record the Appassionata Sonata.

You haven't heard Beethoven like this....

Rocky Balboa meets Ludvig von Beethoven in a metaphorical ring of drama, suspense and heroic struggle. 

Leonard Bernstein said "Music...can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable"

But metaphor can also be used to help us understand complex music in a fresh way.

Words can only go so far...

Especially when it comes to describing the experience of great music.

So how about using another vehicle of expression, one that we can relate to on an emotional level?

Film.

On today's podcast we take to the piano (you can watch on YouTube for the video version which includes clips from the film).

We overlay Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata 1st movement side by side with the film Rocky starring Sylvester Stallone.

What emerges is a fascinating revelation of what is 'under the hood'.

Yes, both Balboa's and Beethoven's template is the same.

It's known as the Hero's Journey, the quintessential model for great Hollywood films, novels and compelling stories.

And now...we see and hear it at work in the compositional process of Beethoven.

Join me for a frolic in film and music.

I guarantee you will never hear Beethoven the same way again.

We’ve all heard Beethoven is a great composer…

But what makes it great?

After all, he uses the same 12 notes as all composers do.

But yet…he does in an altogether different way.

So unique. 
So Bold.
So ETERNAL.

What makes Beethoven’s music TRANSCEND into another dimension of energy, perfection and art allowing it to be a vehicle for WISDOM and PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION? 

What is this language of music that opens the door to higher states of being and how can we understand its code?

In this episode, Part 3 of the “A Passion for Life Series” Elevating Above the Ordinary Like Beethoven we will go to the piano and cover:

• Why we find some sounds beautiful>>>the concept of aesthetic emotion.
• The ‘vertical’ inspiration that was the driver behind Beethoven’s music.
• Why do some songs make us cry and others dance? 
• Is there an ‘implied’ code composers use to generate feelings and how does that work? We’ll dive into the The Law of the Affectations:
• I share my story of not ‘understanding’ Beethoven and how one piano lesson changed that for good.

We will be at the piano today with a lot of demo’s of music and excerpts. 

I hope you enjoy it and I can't wait to hear how the ‘Law of Affections’ made you feel after listening.
