  • Episode 7 - Passing it on
    Jul 14 2024

    Ever wondered how an old bloke like me, David Reidy, finally got around to learning the piano? Well, this week's episode is packed with insights and stories from my own musical journey.

    On top of that, I dive into a review of Alfred's Basic Piano Library All-in-One Course by Palmer, Manus, and Lethco, a stellar resource for young beginners. I share my thoughts on why this series could be a great starting point for the younger folks in your life. Reflecting on the musical influences in my own life, I highlight how mentorship and guidance are vital in nurturing a love for music. Tune in to hear stories about my neighbours who played everything from the oboe to the banjo, and the importance of passing on the joy of music to future generations.

  • Episode 6 - Making Progress
    Jul 7 2024
    Have you ever wondered if sight reading is truly essential for mastering the piano? Join me on this episode of "Piano. Finally," where we tackle this age-old debate head-on. I'll take you through my personal journey into sight reading, highlighting the transformative "Improve Your Sight Reading" series by Paul Harris. These books, organized with graded practice pieces, have been an invaluable resource in my practice, and I'll explain exactly why. Along the way, I'll share the importance of celebrating small wins and draw an analogy between learning piano and bushwalking, emphasizing the significance of tracking your progress to appreciate how far you've come.

    Stay tuned as I bring you up to speed on our podcast's availability across social media and how you can easily subscribe via popular platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. As we wrap up, I'll give you an update on my current project—a Samuel Arnold piece from "Getting to Grade 1," edited by Alyssa Milne. Despite some challenges with fingering and tempo, it's starting to come together, and I hope my experiences inspire your own musical journey. Keep your piano in tune, and may your practice sessions be filled with joy and progress.

  • Episode 5 - A teacher
    Jun 30 2024

    How are you going to learn the piano? Join me, David Reidy, in the latest episode of Piano Finally, where I kick off with an exciting update on the Gina Bachauer piano competition and its stellar performances with the Utah Symphony Orchestra. I also discuss the potential overhaul of the podcast website

    Later in the episode, I look at the benefits of private piano lessons as well as the hurdles involved in learning in the traditional way. I detail why I decided to choose this path and how it might work for you too.

    I also recommend the lamp I use at the piano (especially if you have a grand piano style instrument), and find a YouTube channel with some real flair.

    I hope you enjoy the fifth instalment of the podcast
