Happy Holidays and Popular Posts of 2014

By Graham Fitch, 2014-12-24 Posted in: Blog

2014 saw continued growth for the Practising the Piano website along with the launch of two new Parts in the eBook series (Part 3 and Part 4) and a website overhaul midyear.  I’ll be taking a break over the Festive Season but thought I’d leave you with a listing of the most popular posts of 2014:

  1. Enjoying Ultra Slow Practice
  2. “But it Takes Me Ages to Learn a New Piece!”
  3. Resources for Studying Bach
  4. Piano Graffiti
  5. Top Ten Tips to Maximise Your Practice
  6. Efficient Practising for Busy People
  7. A Practical Theory Lesson
  8. The Myth of Perfection
  9. Tackling a Programme
  10. Making Scales Sound and Feel Good

As a further note, my post on Controlling Tone didn’t quite make this list as it was only published recently but it did generate the most views within the shortest time.

Please feel free to get in touch if there are any topics you would like to see me cover in future posts.  I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support to date and to wish you all the best for 2015!
