The Power of Firsts: Why We Stick to the Original
Something a little different this week: I thought we’d explore some psychological elements of the musical experience - specifically what makes us return to our first encounter with a work?

Piano Key A to G
A piano podcast, uncovering the magical musical moments from some of our finest composers, across all genres - notably Classical, popular, and folk. I will be talking about works that hold special meaning for me, as well as delving into elements of music theory, which help us to better understand the subject matter. This podcast will suit listeners with a general interest in the keyboard, and more specifically, those either learning the instrument, or considering doing so.
