Episode 20 - Scaling the Heights

Piano, finally

How does an older adult tackle the challenge of learning piano, and what can concert experiences teach us about music appreciation? Join me, David Reidy, as I navigate my journey through the keys, sharing not only my triumphs and stumbles with major scales and key signatures but also the magic of a recent symphony concert by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. From the comfort of your home, enjoy a front-row seat to the melodies of Mozart, Respighi, and Shostakovich and uncover why attending concerts in Penrith is a delightful experience, both logistically and musically rewarding. I also recommend Guy Michelmore's YouTube channel this week, a treasure trove of wisdom for aspiring composers eager to explore the intricacies of digital audio workstations.
