Anybody else ever talk about having a rehearsal and then wonder what the heck a “hearsal” is?

Happy Birthday, Rameau!

Here’s a lil’ throwback in your honor:

You know what they say about men with big hands…

They write difficult piano music.

This license plate frame is coincidentally hilarious.

Gesamtkunstwerk: it’s not just an opera; it’s an EXPERIENCE.

I’m going to start referring to arguments as “voice exchanges”

Sometimes it’s just nice to be enraged.

I wanted to thank everybody who decided to follow me! I’ve hit 300 followers. Wow. I will try to be more active on here to give more inspiration and cute study pictures in the future. Please look forward to it :)

Luke wishes you a happy practice session

We approach practicing like a mental activity when, in fact, it is at least 50% a physical activity by definition. Try caring for your physical self too after practicing:

• Ice your forearms
• Do PT designed to counteract the overused motions of practicing
• EAT before and after practicing
• SLEEP every night like athletes to
• Naps help practice sessions sink in
• Be careful about overuse through activities that strain the same muscles and joints…i.e. careful how much you type if you’re a pianist. (Looking at you here, Rachelle)
• If you have the privilege of affording it, get regular chiropractic care
•
