Can't practise for 6 hours a day? Not a problem! Let me point you in the right direction for fitting in some efficient practice around your busy schedule -There's more to life than just notes, and there's definitely more to music than just notes.

Explore music beyond the confines of the left and right hands through broadening your knowledge of music -Is all good art made from suffering? No. Let's look at the benefits of the tried and tested holistic practices eg. breath work, relaxation techniques, yoga, calisthenics, stretching and more... -Don't want to play the classical back catalogue?
