“I come from a musical family. Mom was a piano teacher for a large portion of her life, and Dad is a saxophone hobbyist who grew up in England during the heyday of Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott. I started taking piano lessons from my Mom, but it's too easy to slack off with your parent, so she passed me on to a friend of hers, where I got more motivated to play music by playing pop hits and TV themes. I did some classical training, but I was always more into the really thematic stuff.” PlayEasyStuffParentTeacherTvsGrewMomDadLessonsGrew UpTrainingEnglandMusicalMy MomPopsPianoThemeMotivatedPortionsSaxophonePiano LessonThematicHeydayPiano Teachers Author:Gerard Cox

I found that which is public domain and I had a piano teacher to go through it with me.” IfsLittlesCertainFoundFeltBitsRoomsTeacherPiecesLittle BitLongingMessPianoIf I CouldLoadDomainClassical MusicHintsUrgencyLiving RoomPublic DomainPiano Teachers Author:Colin Farrell
