Bravo for your website that I have discovered recently. While I haven't had time to read much of it, I am savoring your words of wisdom bit by bit. A lot of...
That all sounds about right to me, but I think most of those physical disadvantages can be overcome (to some extent anyway) with motivation, dedication and a...
Why does that all sound right to you? Why is there an assumption that we have physical disadvantages to be overcome? This is not my experience. First there...

Bravo, raising public consciousness about this subject is great. Hopefully it will thaw out frozen attitudes towards music for children and adults alike. I...
Gradually I have been changing my attitudes towards rhythm or the seeming lack of it in certain students. Most of them catch on but there is a small minority...
Well for me the "rush" is that I am a perfectionist. And because I want to play Scottish/Cape Breton tune called Tullochgorum at some point, if I can't get...
OK, that is surely the point, if one has a concert to play and more so in ensemble, everything including the rhythm needs to be in order. I was talking about...
Sorry, folks, I don't understand the fuss. Rhythm is important, I agree. On the other hand, not many of us, who have started to play the piano at an age...
