   S6: E1 What Is Getting in the Way of Your Piano Practice?

   Season 6 of Learn Piano: A Personal Practice begins September 29 with a new fall theme: Overcoming Obstacles to Your Piano Practice. In this opening episode, I look back at some of our summer musical adventures before returning to the piano bench to explore the habits, expectations, time constraints, and life circumstances that can interfere with consistent practice. Throughout the season, we’ll talk about passion and purpose, discipline, focus, bandwidth, realistic expectations, momentum, inspiration, and how our piano practice can grow and change along with us. We’ll also continue our Piano Studio Book Club with Poulenc: A Biography and welcome Rachel Revvenaugh for another Conversation in the Piano Lounge.

   🎹🎙️ SS2: E8 Summer Finale: Little Things

   In this episode, Cynthia reflects on an unexpected musical experience at a friend’s ice skating competition and how one beautiful piece, Little Things by Adrián Berenguer, followed her home to the piano. From skating and performance to adult learning and simple beginner pieces, she explores the difference between critique and meaning, and why music does not have to be perfect, or win first place, but to matter. This summer finale is a reminder to notice the music that grabs your heart, find joy in the journey, and build a personal musical life from the little moments that stay with you.

   🎹🎙️Faith, Music and the Artist's Journey

   In this episode, I reflect on a day that moved from quiet nostalgia to an electric evening concert with musician Jeremy Camp. After the stillness of a historic church, wooden pews, natural light, and a pump organ, the flashing lights, drums, electric guitars, and joyful worship of the evening created a powerful contrast. Jeremy’s story about beginning the song “This Man” at age sixteen, but needing to live through suffering before he could finish it, opened a deeper reflection on creativity and the artist’s journey. Sometimes a song, story, or work of art must wait until life gives us the experience to express it truthfully. From a nineteenth-century hymn to modern worship music, the day revealed how instruments, settings, and personal hardship shape creative expression and how music continues to carry hope across generations.
