Embark on a musical voyage with me, David Reidy, as I tackle the grand adventure of mastering the piano later in life. With a lifetime of teaching others, I'm stepping into the shoes of a student to bring you an honest, insightful look at what it's like to learn piano as an adult. From grappling with music theory to testing the best learning tools and resources, I'm here to share this journey's highs, lows, and unexpected delight. If you've ever considered tickling the ivories yourself or are fascinated by acquiring a new skill, you won't want to miss my raw, genuine experiences.

As we peel back the curtain on adult music education, I'll guide you through the maze of online tutorials, local music schools, and the plethora of piano books and gear designed for beginners. I'll share tales from the trenches of navigating formal music examinations and regale you with the logical beauty of music theory, peppered with my fascination for physics and maths. No matter where you are in your musical quest, join me for a symphony of stories, tips, and candid reflections that will resonate with the curious onlooker and the aspiring pianist.

The book that my practice performance is from is The Joy of First Year Piano by Denes Agay. You can use this Amazon affiliate link https://amzn.to/3QXfUvm to see more details.
