Surveillance tale: My son, home from college, tells me that he was humming the Chaconne from Bach Partita #2 yesterday—and the next time he went to YouTube, it was his top recommended track. Yes, his phone was near when he hummed. No, he'd never listened to that work on YouTube.

When working out the super-complicated fingering needed to play much of Bach's keyboard music, I often wonder if *he* used such fingering, or would he perhaps be suprised at the lengths we go to to create a smooth legato line?

Installing a midi connect system today. Can be bluetoothed to iPad/computer AND a cloud ... which means teachers can monitor how much and even listen to your practicing between lessons. Uh oh slackers

🎹 Did you know? 🎹 The largest piano ever made weighs 1.4 tons and is 5.7 meters long. The piano was made by Adrian Mann, a New Zealand piano tuner. #PianoGallery #Piano #Fact

Did concert for primary school children today. Afterwards, teacher said that some of the children who find it hardest to sit still in class were the ones most mesmerised by our live music. Food for thought.

The Nonet, which I was recently introduced to, is vying with the string quartet for my favorite “genre” of chamber music. It’s sounds like a full orchestra except with and economy of means factor.
