Welcome to The Independent Pianist Circle. We're thrilled to have you! The goal of this space is to help you stop practising alone and build connections with other learning pianists like you. And this helps you to improve your playing! Your First Task: Introduce Yourself It is completely understandable to feel a bit of resistance when joining a community of musicians. Try to ignore that voice. We're all in the same boat here, and we just want to get to know you! Drop a comment on this post to introduce yourself (you can use the template below if you want). Also, attach a photo of your current piano setup! Hi! My name's __________ and I'm based in __________. I'm currently working on __________, but outside of the piano, I love to __________. Welcome to the Circle! 🎹 P.S. Go to this link for your first steps for getting started: https://www.skool.com/the-self-taught-pianist-circle-7074/classroom/2a8184c9?md=887e605c9176458988e269e821fcee00 P.P.S. You're a musician. Craving some music? If you're on the website, go to the search bar at the top and type "Let there be cat". Thank me later :)

Hi everyone! The main piece I'm currently working on is “why am I blue” and I'm at Stage 3 of the learning process, which means I'm working with the metronome / hands together. My current safe speed is 50 bps and my target performance speed is 96 bps. This week 3 finally clicked for me. Before my next lesson, I want to fix improving playing hands together. Has anyone else dealt with getting hands separate at the performance speed and then finding when you bring hands together that your speed is much slower? How did you handle it?

Well, that didn't take long! Less than 12 hours after opening the doors, the 9-Week Fluency Fast-Track is officially 100% sold out. I knew this programme was going to be popular, but the spots vanished much faster than I anticipated. A massive congratulations to the students who jumped on the opportunity and locked in their places. You already have access to the initial materials, and I cannot wait to kick off our sprint together this Monday. For everyone else: As I mentioned this morning, dedicating my time and bandwidth to this new cohort means my teaching diary is now effectively locked for the rest of the term. Ad hoc bookings are officially off the table. If you missed out on a spot today but want to completely overhaul your playing before the end of the year, I will most likely be running the next cohort in the summer. Just drop me a DM, and I will add you to the VIP Summer Waitlist. You will get first refusal on the new spots before I announce them publicly. Have an amazing weekend, keep the daily practice going, and let's get to work!
