Piano Mansfield

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. Mansfield is one of the areas I cover.

There is something quite romantic about a piano, situated in the corner of a hotel foyer, bar or lounge. And equally mystical when someone casually walks up to the instrument, has a gentle touch of the keys, and sits down beginning to play. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you know the piece or not, but the gentle movement of the music through the instrument and into the atmosphere just makes people think “oh I wish I could play the piano!”

How many times have you been in a restaurant or wedding reception with a pianist in residence, playing soft (or sometimes not so softly!) on the piano keys? The piano lends itself to any setting, soft background music, or complex virtuoso pieces demanding every part of the listener’s attention.

Learning to play the piano can be tricky, but with a good teacher who will show you some of the tips and tricks to mastering the instrument, there is absolutely no reason not to give the piano a chance! You don’t even have to have the room for a large, wooden piece of furniture any longer as there are many styles and types of digital piano on the market that are far more compact, and a little less temperamental about their situation in homes with central heating!

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