A New Offering in the Offing:

The Key Steps for Grand Regulating Slideshow plots an effective approach to grand regulation. With this photographic outline for context and continuity, please join me weekly for a short episode of this expanding, piecemeal presentation that formerly would have happened in person in a classroom. Despite the negatives of not seeing your faces or hearing your questions in real time, I think there may be other strengths to this format: the abilities to scout the path ahead and revisit each step on demand, for instance.

When enthusiasm for a piano rises in the concert pianist, it is a wonderful thing. Their spirit soars, their talents fully manifest, and the listener gets emotional.

What can stir this response? Consistency note-to-note, a well-integrated tuning, and responsive repetition. They elicit confidence. And confidence taps all knowledge, feeling, and sensibility directly, without instruction from little voices in the head, without reference to who is listening or what they might think. Scales, memorization, and all forms of effort are transcended.
