When piano practice feels like peace

Hi there,
​
If you’ve ever felt like practicing piano was a chore—or worse, a source of frustration—you’re not alone.

But what if practice could become a refuge?
A space of calm focus and satisfying progress?

In my newest video, I’ll show you how to transform your approach using mindful practice—backed by neuroscience, grounded in tradition (including Chopin), and filled with real strategies that work.

You’ll learn:

– A smarter ways to tackle leaps, fingering, and pedaling
– A surprising strategy I call “the $100 tempo”
– Why grinding out repetitions when you're bored will not help you improve

If body awareness is something you’d like to develop more deeply, this video will give you a strong foundation—and my Pianist’s Body Blueprint can take you further.

I’d love to hear what this video brings up for you. Feel free to reply and let me know what you try, what surprises you, or what shifts in your practice.

Warmly,
​
Rebecca

Hi there, I debated whether to share this video at all. The camera is shaky. The orchestra isn’t great. But I’m so proud of the piano playing—and in the end, that’s what mattered most. This is my live performance of Rhapsody in Blue.I first learned the piece when I was 12 for a local piano competition (which I didn’t win!). But I still remember the bright blue skirt I made myself—and how I completely fell in love with the music. For this performance, I studied Gershwin’s own piano roll...
