Will I pass Grade 8 Piano before my 40th birthday? Follow me on my journey to find out!
In 2020 I bought a piano, got myself a teacher and set myself the goal of achieving ABRSM Grade 8 Piano by the time I turn 40 - about 5 years time.
Three years in - with Grades 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 under my belt - my aim is to continue taking each exam all the way up to Grade 8.
I started recording myself playing so that one day I could look back and see how far I'd come. Inspired by other YouTube piano channels, I started uploading these videos. My aim? An honest, realistic record of my piano progression for others to follow and get inspired by. I hope it will be useful for anyone learning piano for the first time or picking it back up as an adult like I have done.
Take care!

P.S. You'll also find some interviews and podcasts here that I recorded when I was in various shows in London's West End, such as The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, and The Sound of Music!
