25. Concluding Thoughts

Over the past 24 videos in the PerfectPiano series, I’ve tried to set out in simple, bitesize chunks what I learned all those years ago as a student. Clearly, some of the concepts and exercises were easier than others, but I wanted to share what was going through my mind as I began to play again after a 30-year absence. The key message I have been trying to get across is that playing the piano is a job for fingers, supported by your arms, that tension and stiffness are the biggest hindrance to success.
