Ever felt the thrill of tackling a new challenge, only to find it opens unexpected doors? Join me, David Reidy, as I navigate the fascinating world of piano in this week's "Piano Finally." Inspired by Ryan Abshier's captivating video ranking top piano concertos, I created a playlist on Apple Classical Music to share these masterpieces with you. As I ponder an intriguing invite to perform at a school fundraising event, I reflect on the joys and jitters of sharing music, even as a beginner. It's a raw, real experience that reminds us all of the beauty in learning and connecting through music.

How does an older adult tackle the challenge of learning piano, and what can concert experiences teach us about music appreciation? Join me, David Reidy, as I navigate my journey through the keys, sharing not only my triumphs and stumbles with major scales and key signatures but also the magic of a recent symphony concert by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. From the comfort of your home, enjoy a front-row seat to the melodies of Mozart, Respighi, and Shostakovich and uncover why attending concerts in Penrith is a delightful experience, both logistically and musically rewarding. I also recommend Guy Michelmore's YouTube channel this week, a treasure trove of wisdom for aspiring composers eager to explore the intricacies of digital audio workstations.

What if machine learning could redefine the way we create music? Join me, David Reidy, as I challenge the boundaries between human creativity and technological innovation through my journey of learning the piano. You'll hear about my preparation for a potential performance of Adele's "Someone Like You," a daunting piece that I'm determined to master with my teacher's guidance over the next nine months. I'll also share my thoughts on the intriguing blend of education and humour offered by Professor Matthew King and Ian Coulter on the Music Professor YouTube channel, which reignites my passion for classical music.
As I work on Fritz Spindler's charming Canon, discover the effective learning strategies that help me tackle this 16-bar piece. I'll take you behind the scenes of my recording setup, featuring the Kawaii NV-10 keyboard and a customised Bosendorfer 280 VC sound crafted with Pianoteq 8. Beyond the mechanics of music, let's ponder the role of machine learning in music composition, the ethical questions it raises, and what this means for the future of creativity. Dive into this thought-provoking conversation and explore the possibilities of music in the digital age.
