Greetings from Philadelphia USA. Love your style, and I hear the influence of our local hero McCoy Tyner in your very tasteful playing.

This is something I wish I would have done much sooner. The realization that I don't have to be good at everything because that won't make me happy. Because I don't even like everything so why should I be working toward that. And focusing on the things I wanted to do started to alter the way I sounded way faster compared to before. Really good advice that I hope the younger players will take to heart.

Such great advice .. be true to thine own self .. I was trained classical but in my retirement have fallen in love with jazz.. spend my practice time alternating between my own arrangements and Bach fugues .. thinking about what you don’t know can be overwhelming, but getting lost in the music has really helped me through many life and health challenges 💕🎹

What a great message, and you're a marvelous pianist. I remember my playing improved the day I began playing for my own joy and according to only my own tastes and stopped trying to anticipate or please the tastes of others. Also, I've always been drawn to 4ths too, so I enjoyed hearing about your love of that sound. Play on!

Instant subscribe. Much gratitude and love for the wisdom. I definitely felt directionless lately. Took a few classes, I got some outside pointers on my playing and what i could improve on. Some technique practices. However, I jus couldnt figure out what i really enjoy playing. Im the type that strives to completely master something i love doing. The problem, majority of the time, for me is the starting point and general direction i wish to go. Im a jack of all trades but a master of none. You, my good sister, may have helped me to become the master of all.
