I'd be lost without my teacher. I sure hope I can get in a year or two before she moves on. I'll tell you this, when that dreaded day comes nobody is assigning a new teacher to me. I will find one on my own. It's too much work and the chemistry is j

My lessons with my teacher are done for the Summer. I start again in September. I've had a cool electronic keyboard since October 2012, but never took the opportunity to utilize any of its features so I decided I would delve into this over the Su

Just been on the Helpinstill website and it would appear that Elton John had the first one Helpinstill made in 1972. I remember reading an interview with with Elton or Clive Franks when it was said that after lots of experimentation they ended up usi

Well I can tell you one thing this reading process comes VERY slow. I play some things like joplin rags, chopin waltzes, debussys reverie (although all on my level of skill)... but no way I could sight read any of these pieces. So it's not really mot

I can't think of anything, but I'll have a look. I can only suggest trying to find a decent soundboard recording of Ben Folds as I'm pretty much certain he still uses Helpinstills. I think EJ used them on the Russia tour in 79 and that sounds pretty

Thanks Marty! There is a Steinway B for sale from 1966 that I like. If I buy it , it will come to my living room that is 20m2. Is it too small, or it will work, the ceiling is 2.50m? Kind regards Niklas www.bjarnehall.se

And I guess nobody knows whether anyone is intending to translate Samuil Feinberg's "Pianism as art"? Segments have been translated so far. Every pianist I know that understands russian says it is undoubtedly one of the most valuable books
