Piano Kirkby in Ashfield

I have been playing the piano since the mid 1980’s, and whilst other instruments have come and gone in my life, this is one that has remained! I now not only enjoy still playing this instrument, but also offering lessons for the piano. Kirkby in Ashfield is one of the areas I cover.

There is something reflectively dreamy about a piano, sat in the corner of a hotel lounge, foyer or lounge. And equally exquisite is when someone saunters up to the instrument, and with a gentle touch of the keys, sits down to play. It doesn’t matter if you recognise the piece of music or not, but the calm movement of the music through the instrument and into the atmosphere can inspire the thought into many people “oh I wish I could play the piano!”

How many times have you been at a reception for a wedding, or in a restaurant with a pianist in residence, playing softly on the piano keys? The piano lends itself to any setting, whether for background music, or more complex performances demanding every part of the listener’s attention.

Learning to play the piano can be complicated, but a good tutor will show you the easiest way for you of mastering the instrument, so there is no reason not to give learning the instrument a whirl! The excuse that “we haven’t the room” cannot be used any more, as there are many models and types of digital piano on the market that are very compact, and a little less fussy about their location in a building with the dangers of central heating!

Sergei Rachmaninoff, Wolfgang Mozart, Claude Debussy, Frederic Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven are to name but a few very famous classical pianists and composers. More contemporary pianists are such as George Gershwin, Freddie Mercury, Scott Joplin, Tori Amos, Elton John and Myleene Klass. There are so many pianists to choose from – so this is by no means a comprehensive list!
