Episode 15 - Sound Improvements

Piano, finally

What if a simple fix could reignite your passion for music? Join me, David Reidy, as I share how a quick but crucial repair to my Kawai NV10 by technician Stan brought my piano playing back to life. In this episode of Piano Finally, I explore my progress with scale practice under my piano teacher's guidance and unveil an exciting iPad app I'm developing to make practising scales more intuitive. Additionally, I highlight the "Musician Toolkit" podcast by David Lane, which has become an invaluable resource in my musical journey. Inspired by Tiffany Poon's thoughts on acoustics, I also reflect on how rearranging my piano space has significantly improved sound quality at home.
Ready to tackle those tricky pieces? I dive into the challenges of mastering major sixths in "A Time For Us," outlining the finger combinations that elevate both skill and performance. Hear the latest recording of this piece on my NV-10 using the SKEX Concert Grand setting and learn about my plans to incorporate PianoTek software for a more varied sound palette. Tune in for a delightful blend of technical advice, musical discovery, and personal reflections on the joys and hurdles of piano learning.
