''Music can express feelings that words can't even begin to imagine.'' -Allen J. Friedman. The Harmony of a Lifetime: My 55-Year Journey to Keyboard Master: For over half a century, the piano hasn't just been an instrument to me; it's been a confidant, a muse, and the very language of my soul. From the first hesitant notes I coaxed from the keys as a young child to the complex symphonies I've explored and expressed through my hands, I've spent 55 dedicated years immersed in the rich, evolving world of piano. My journey began with a simple curiosity, which quickly blossomed into an unyielding passion. I discovered early on that true music wasn't about hitting the right notes – it was about feeling them deep within your core. It was about the emotion that could be coaxed from each chord, the story told in every melody, and the connection forged between player and listener. This belief, that emotion truly trumps logic at the keyboard, has been the guiding principle of my entire musical life. Through countless hours of practice, performances, teaching, and composing, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the piano from every conceivable angle. I've encountered every challenge a student faces, mastered techniques, delved into music theory, and, most importantly, learned how to unlock the true artistry that lies within each aspiring pianist. As I reached this point in my life, looking back at a lifetime spent at the keys, a new passion began to stir: the desire to give back. I realized that the wisdom gleaned from over five decades of playing and teaching wasn't just for me. It was a treasure trove of insights, techniques, and philosophies that could transform the learning journey for countless others. That's why I created Keyboard Master: The Online Piano Course.
