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 __________.

In my most recent lesson with Benedict, he taught me about the ‘major minor’ chords (minor triad with a major 7th sometimes plus a 9th) that often show up in Bond soundtracks. So very interesting that with my first listen through Raye’s brand new album, it comes up several times! It’s almost as if she did it on purpose for my education- so thanks Raye! Anyone else had a listen and can find the major minor chords?

Benedict suggested I posted my practice notes... just finished a practice and here are my notes for the last few days
