Hi Paul, I learnt the piano for a year 12 years ago and lost touch. Over the past year, I have started picking it up again to cope with the stress of grad school. it has been quite a rewarding challenge. I am so glad I found your Substack!
Hi, Anisha! Glad you're here. It's wonderful to hear that you're starting back up with the piano, again – and that you're finding it both challenging and rewarding. As someone who has completed a PhD, I'm sure you are very familiar with both of those experiences already! I hope you enjoy what you find here.
I'm grateful for your insightful comments here. And for the spirit with which you share with us of your "multi-storied" life and career. (Multi-storied in the senses of your personal "history" and the many ways you've built your legacy as a musician and teacher.)

I think we both admire thoughts that provoke the reader. What they have called the Mutual Admiration Society! 🤗
