4 - Why to start

Piano, finally

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a busy schedule yet still found moments of inspiration that reignite your passion? Join me, David Reidy, as I navigate a week filled with debating competitions and school events, all while trying to squeeze in piano practice. Discover how a Year 8 student's original composition at our school's creative showcase provided a much-needed spark in my musical journey. With the holidays just around the corner, I'll share my plans for ramping up my practice time and aiming to catch up with my talented students.
This week, I also delve into the world of metronomes with a comprehensive review of the Boss DB90. After testing various options, I've found this metronome to be an essential companion in my practice routine. Learn about its standout features, including the large backlit LCD display, adjustable tempo, and diverse sound options. I’ll also offer tips on setting up the device, like the importance of using the recommended power supply to avoid noise issues. Tune in to find out why the Boss DB90 has become a key player in my quest to master the piano and how it could benefit your practice sessions too.
