Thanks for tuning in to Episode 49! This week, I talk about why piano lessons are back, how progress changes when there’s someone else listening, and whether it’s worth having a piano teacher at all (spoiler: yes, it is).

🎼 Back to Lessons
Lessons resumed this week after the summer break—though it’s a short term, just five weeks before Devi heads overseas again. Playing the Spindler Canon and the Bagatelle in F in front of someone else felt very different than at home. I also made a bit of progress on Mozart—those first two bars are getting there, slowly.

🎬 YouTube Pick – Andy Chamberlain Music
This week’s video recommendation is You’ve Been Lied To About Time Signatures by Andy Chamberlain Music. It starts with theory basics, then dives into some wonderful historical context—particularly from 18:45 to 24:40, where Andy explains how 13th-century notation influences what we see on the page today.
Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfWy5yhAukA

🧠 Essay – Do you need a piano teacher?
After a year of lessons, I reflect on how much more I’ve enjoyed and benefited from guided learning than I did trying to go it alone. From immediate feedback and technique tips to having someone who finds pedal technique as interesting as you do—it makes all the difference. Devi helped me fix timing in Afternoon Snooze and even fingering in Der Vogelfänger. For me, lessons are more than worth it.

🎹 Review – K&M Keyboard Stand
I recently bought a K&M 18810 Omega stand for the Nord Stage 4. It’s rock solid, holds the 20kg keyboard without a problem, and looks like it’ll last a lifetime. I’ve added the second-tier riser, a laptop shelf, and an iPad holder—great flexibility, sturdy German engineering, and easily sourced here in Australia.
More about K&M: https://www.k-m.de/en/
Where I bought mine: https://www.turramusic.com.au/products/konig-meyer-k-m-18810-omega-keyboard-stand

🎧 Progress Update
You’ll hear Afternoon Snooze and Blackout Blues again this week, plus the two bars of Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja I’ve been polishing. I’m also working on Wild Chase by Wynn-Anne Rossi—an energetic piece that’s tricky because the melody is shared between both hands. Not ready to record yet, but it’s underway.
Everything was recorded on the Kawai NV10 with Pianoteq 8 using the Anton Petrov Grand in Recording Mode One.

🎹 Episode 48 – Dancing about architecture

Welcome to Episode 48. This week, I reflect on remixing, musical distractions, and the sneaky ways we convince ourselves we’re making progress.

🎧 Remixing in the Classroom
Year 9 music students had a workshop on remixing, led by two presenters, including musician Nyxen. I got to sit in on parts of the day and was surprised by how much I enjoyed her music and her breakdown of the production process.
Check out Nyxen’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NYXENMUSIC
Here’s the track they worked on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4136AwqMjiA

🎹 Denis Zhdanov’s Competition Story
A fun video from Denis Zhdanov about his first piano competition—light, entertaining, and with a nice piece at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOAuDBWLzXI

📺 YouTube Pick – David Bennett Piano
David Bennett’s videos dissect music theory through popular songs. I’ve learned a lot from his breakdowns of chord progressions and modes.
Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidBennettPiano
This week’s pick is especially useful:
“Film and TV Themes that will help you identify intervals” – a great resource for recognising intervals by ear, from Jaws to The Flintstones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JftZNTUJTJc

🧠 Essay – Dancing about architecture
There’s a quote—often misattributed—about how writing about music is like dancing about architecture. I use it this week to reflect on the trap of watching music content instead of doing music.
I’ve set myself a rule: no YouTube videos or piano reading during the week until I’ve done at least 30 minutes of practice. No more illusions of progress without real playing.

📘 Review – Bill Hilton’s “Exercises, Inventions & Ideas”
As a Patreon supporter, I’ve been working through Bill Hilton’s teaching pack. The first PDF includes a clever dexterity exercise with deliberately tricky fingering, a pedal-focused invention using finger cycling, and a segment on legato/staccato control.
The first video and download in the series is free to all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8kQ2qn7qCk

🎼 Progress Update

• Türk’s Bagatelle in F is now on maintenance rotation.
• Afternoon Snooze and Blackout Blues are getting close—though I’ve slowed down Afternoon Snooze, because a nap should sound lazy, not brisk.
• Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja is coming together with both hands, very slowly.

Welcome back! In this episode of Piano, finally, I talk about a week of not-much-practice, school restarting, and musical surprises—including a band at a diocesan staff day that, while technically solid, wasn’t quite my style.

🎭 On Stage
If you're in Sydney or the Blue Mountains, tickets are now on sale for the Blue Mountains Musical Society’s production of Come From Away, on at Springwood later this month.

🎧 Podcast of the Week
This week’s recommendation is Musicianship Mastery by David Lane—formerly The Musician’s Toolkit. Now back to a weekly schedule, the show focuses on practical musicianship skills. Highlights include why memorisation matters and an inspiring interview with Michael Hall on blending Western classical and Indonesian music.

🎹 New Gear – Nord Stage 4
Yes, I bought a Nord Stage 4—a top-tier stage piano blending organ, piano, and synth engines. I’m halfway through a great course by Marc Larochelle at MyKeysToMusic. The Nord’s 384 built-in programs have nudged me toward improvisation—something I hadn’t seriously explored before. Turns out, just playing around with sounds can be surprisingly useful.
More on the Nord Stage 4: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/products/nord-stage-4

🥁 Review – Roland TR-6S Drum Machine
Never clicked with metronomes, so I turned to the Roland Aira TR-6S drum machine instead. It’s musical, easy to use, and blends well with piano practice. I picked mine up from Turramurra Music—though they’re currently out of stock.
Roland product page: https://www.roland.com/GLOBAL/products/tr-6s

G’day everyone, and welcome to Episode 46 of Piano, Finally!
This week, I’ve been thinking about all the unexpected doors learning the piano opens — doors that aren’t always about the piano itself.

On ANZAC Day, I joined the Hawkesbury District Concert Band as a bus driver for the Sydney march. It was a real privilege to be part of an important community event alongside students and local musicians.

If you’ve been following the Chopin competitions this year, good news — the preliminary rounds are now streaming live from Warsaw! Introductions are in Polish and English, but of course, the music transcends language. If you’d like to catch some incredible performances, here’s the link to the first session:
👉 Watch the Warsaw preliminary rounds

Also, if you're curious about music theory (with a twist of science and art), I recommend The Meta in Music lecture series by Professor Milton Mermikides. It’s based loosely on Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter and brings Bach's puzzles and musical secrets to life. It's well worth a look — here’s the link to the first lecture:
👉 Watch The Meta in Music

In this episode, I also talk about why it’s worth making the effort to attend smaller, local concerts. From feeling the vibrations of cellos and pianos at arm’s length, to having the chance to chat with performers, small venue performances really reconnect you with what music is meant to be — human, shared, and vibrant.

Finally, I share my experience at the Megalong Music Festival. Set in the beautiful Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains, it was a spectacular celebration of chamber music, community, and brilliant young musicians.
If you’d like to learn more about the festival or get involved next year, you’ll find more information here:
👉 Megalong Music Festival

Thanks for joining me again. If you’re learning an instrument yourself, I’d love to hear from you!
Until next week, I hope your piano stays in tune and you enjoy your time at the keys.

Welcome to Episode 45 of Piano, Finally
This week, David reflects on what it really means to “play” the piano—not just as a technical activity but as a source of joy, creativity, and fun.

🚗 Road Trip & Piano Concert
The episode begins with a musical journey—literally—to Armidale for the Piano Plus Showcase Concert, part of the Autumn Piano School. The highlight? Watching Coady Green blaze through two of Anton Rubenstein’s études with jaw-dropping precision.
🎶 Listen to the études: YouTube Link

🥁 Practising with Rhythm
David shares his experiment with using a drum machine instead of a metronome. Inspired by the idea that bands keep time with drummers, he’s testing this approach to add energy to his practice sessions. More updates coming in the next episode!

🎧 Podcast Pick: Start Here (Season 2)
A glowing recommendation for the Start Here podcast from ABRSM, hosted by Alexis Ffrench. It dives into musical genres beyond classical, including Drum & Bass, Drill, Gaming Music, and Opera—with expert guests each week.

🎹 Essay: What Does It Mean to "Play" the Piano?
In a thoughtful essay, David considers how different languages express playing music—and why in English we use the word “play.” Whether it’s for pleasure, growth, or expression, choosing to play is a powerful act. He reflects on the tension between delayed gratification and having fun now, and how tools like the Nord Stage 4 bring extra joy to learning.

🎵 Practice Progress
David continues work on preparatory pieces Afternoon Snooze and Blackout Blues, and starts a new piece from Grade 1: Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja from Mozart’s The Magic Flute, arranged by Barrie Carson Turner.

🏞️ Bonus Music Outing
A surprise chamber music concert at the Megalong Music Festival offered a magical Sunday and will be featured in more detail in the next episode.

🎹 Episode 44 – Choosing for the Year
Welcome back to Piano, Finally, the podcast by an old bloke finally getting around to learning the piano. In this episode, I share a bit of everything – from an odd experience learning the school song to choosing my piano pieces for the year ahead, and even a book review for those exploring pop piano.

🎵 The School Song Saga
I kicked off the holidays with a curious challenge: trying to play the school song. Despite knowing it well, my first attempt sounded way off – but, oddly enough, it fixed itself the next day. Still working on the fingerings, though.

📺 Stage+ – A Treasure Trove of Classical Documentaries
I talk about the value of Stage+, a high-quality classical music streaming platform from Deutsche Grammophon. It offers not just performances but excellent documentaries, including “Magic Moments in Music” and stories about greats like Bernstein, Karajan, Tsujii, Lang Lang, and Trifonov.

🎼 Choosing My Pieces for the Year
Devi and I selected four main pieces for the coming months – all aimed at expanding my technique and musical range.

1. 🎶 Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja (Mozart / arr. Barrie Carson Turner)
   A bright, fast piece introducing Alberti bass and runs in G major.
   🎧 Listen here
2. 🎹 A Wild Chase (Wynn-Anne Rossi)
   Tricky fingering, dual bass clefs, and a fast tempo – definitely a challenge.
   🎧 Listen here
3. 🕰️ Going Baroque (Glenda Austin)
   My first foray into baroque-style music, complete with counterpoint and complexity.
   🎧 Listen here
4. 🎤 Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley)
   From the Rockschool Contemporary Piano book – a modern piece with a strong rhythmic focus.
   🎧 Listen here

📘 Book Review – The Pop Piano Book by Mark Harrison
A Discord recommendation, this 500-page book is a full course on pop piano playing. It starts with theory and moves into genre-specific chapters like R&B, gospel, and rock. The book’s practical but bulky – maybe the PDF version is the way to go.
📖 Find it at Harrison Music

🎧 Progress Report
Two pieces are now performance-ready: Spindler’s Canon and Türk’s Bagatelle in F. I’m still working on Afternoon Snooze and Blackout Blues – both tricky in their own ways. Recorded on the Kawai NV10 with Pianoteq 8’s U4 upright model.

🎹 Piano, finally – Episode 43: Artificial Meaning
G’day, everyone! In this week’s episode, I share a bit about live music, online rabbit holes, and thoughts on what makes music meaningful, even in the age of AI.

🎶 Sydney Symphony and Daniil Trifonov
I had the pleasure of hearing Daniil Trifonov perform Rachmaninov’s Fourth Piano Concerto at the Opera House. A magical evening that also featured Lyadov’s The Enchanted Lake—a piece by a lesser-known Russian composer. Learn more about Anatoly Lyadov and why he might have missed his big break.

🎹 YouTube Find: Andertons Music Co.
If you enjoy keyboard demos and a bit of fun, check out Andertons Keyboard Department. Hosted by Jack Duxbury and friends, this channel has blindfold challenges, gear reviews, and loads of musical insight. You can explore the full Andertons Music Co. YouTube channel here.

🤖 Essay: Artificial Meaning
After attending a Matthew Cawood masterclass and watching Rick Beato’s video Will these AI tools make songwriters irrelevant in 2025?, I’ve been pondering the role of human connection in music. AI tools like Mureka and Suno can now churn out tunes, but can they offer anything meaningful? Or are they just filling silence?

📘 Book Review: Playing the Piano for Pleasure by Charles Cooke
A recommendation from the Bill Hicks Discord group led me to this charming book from 1941. Cooke, a journalist and keen amateur pianist, offers timeless advice, personal stories, and repertoire suggestions. A few tips may feel dated (one hour of practice daily, anyone?), but the book remains a gem. You can grab a copy on Amazon.

🎙️ Episode 42 – Devi Mamak

G’day, and welcome back to Piano, finally—a podcast by an old bloke learning the piano, finally.

This week’s episode is a little different. I’m thrilled to share the very first interview on the show, and it’s with someone many of you have heard me mention before—my piano teacher, Devi Mamak. We sat down at her studio to chat about music, teaching, and learning piano as an adult. A big thanks to Devi for taking the time to speak after a full day of teaching.

🎙 Episode 41 – Pianos and Keyboards
G’day, and welcome back to Piano, Finally – the podcast by an old bloke, finally learning piano. In this episode, we take a look at a curious music theory making the rounds on YouTube, dip a toe into the world of electronic keyboards, and review a more contemporary collection of piano pieces from AMEB’s Rock School.

🎵 A Conspiracy in Classical Music?
It started with a video about using a metronome and ended with a full-blown theory claiming we’re all playing classical music twice as fast as intended. This “Whole Beat Theory” suggests tempo markings were meant for both ticks and tocks of a metronome, not just ticks. It’s an interesting idea… but does it hold up to scrutiny?

Turns out, not really. Performances by pianists like Ashkenazy and Yunchan Lim show that Chopin’s intended tempo for the Revolutionary Etude is quite playable the conventional way. We also get into why this theory falls apart when applied to opera or examined historically. You won’t find a link to the video here, but if you're curious, a quick search for “Whole Beat Conspiracy” should do the trick.

🎹 Essay – Getting Curious About Keyboards
Thanks to a few YouTube suggestions (and maybe a recent headphone search), I’ve found myself watching videos about electronic keyboards. Turns out, there's a whole universe of buttons, knobs and sliders up there beyond the keys.

A couple of videos worth checking out:

• How to sound like Elton John on a Nord Stage 3
• Patch walkthrough for iconic pop song sounds

It’s fascinating stuff – especially how a traditional piano performance can be shaped by modern tech. I’m definitely intrigued, and a stage piano might be on the wishlist now.

🎧 Review – AMEB Rock School Grade 1
If you’re looking for graded music that’s a bit more modern, the Rock School syllabus might be worth a look. I picked up the Grade One book and found pieces by the likes of Taylor Swift, The Beatles, and Sir Elton John. The pieces are short, approachable, and well within reach after a year of playing.

You can hear them before you buy too:

• Summit School of Music's Grade 1 playlist
• Buy the book at AMEB

🎼 Progress & Practice
This week, I was a bit out of sorts with my routine – left my practice notes at work – but still made some headway. Working on Blackout Blues by Andrew Craggs and a Mozart piece (Die Zauberflöte arrangement) with a focus on hands separately. Played on the Kawai

Welcome
Welcome to episode 40 of Piano, Finally! If you're new here, I hope you enjoy the show. If you’re a returning listener, thanks for coming back! If you're learning piano or another instrument, I'd love to hear how you're going—drop me an email at [email protected].

This week, I prepared part of this episode at the Sydney Opera House before attending Bell Shakespeare’s Henry V. It’s one of my favorite Shakespeare history plays, and this production was excellent.

YouTube Spotlight: Jameson Nathan Jones
Jameson Nathan Jones is a composer and performer with a unique approach to music composition. His YouTube channel stands out with video titles like Key Signatures Aren’t Prisons and Music Theory that Composers Actually Use. His training in classical piano and organ makes his teaching particularly relevant. If you're interested in composing as well as playing, his channel is worth checking out: Jameson Nathan Jones.

Essay – External Memory
Balancing learning the piano with a busy life means finding ways to stay organized. This week, I focused on improving my practice efficiency. My system includes:

• A leather briefcase with printed scores and backup reading glasses
• An iPad with Newzik for digital scores (though I often forget to charge it!)
• A big hardcover notebook where my teacher, Devi, writes key practice points

Taking notes during and after practice has helped make my sessions more productive and given me a clearer sense of progress. Keeping track of improvements is a great way to stay motivated, especially when frustration strikes (like hitting unintended black keys!).

Review – AMEB Piano for Leisure
I’ve been looking for repertoire to challenge myself, and while browsing a music store, I came across the AMEB Piano for Leisure series. Unlike the traditional classical syllabus, Piano for Leisure offers a more varied selection of pieces but maintains the same technical requirements.

I picked up the Series 1, First Grade book, which includes 11 diverse pieces—from boogie woogie to Mozart. The structured difficulty makes it a great choice for learners. If you’re considering it, you can preview the pieces online: AMEB Piano for Leisure.

I also found complete YouTube playlists for these books, making it easy to hear how the pieces should sound: AMEB Repertoire.

Closing

By the way, Henry V was a fantastic production—if you get the chance to see it, I highly recommend it.

Progress Update
This week, I focused on refining my articulation in Baga
