I thought you'd already mentioned it would be another Ear Training Course.

MikeClarke

Mmmmm? It will certainly be something you're passionate about, it will be fun, full of awesome content and it will be what we need on our 'Creative Piano' journey, Mmmmm? but the title doesn't show up in my little crystal ball 😃

Seriously though Ruth, whatever it's going to be, it will be amazing and I look forward to it.

PS. When you get around to bottling that 'passion/energy/amaziness' put my name down for a bottle, Piano Picnic is the BEST! 😃👍🙂

Lovely! Good memory @Gerry1 you are on the right track! Thanks @MikeClarke I love your enthusiasm too!

THIS WEEK: No livestream this week but we have

the replay from last week's member's coaching up in The Vault area.
We also have a poll going on Facebook with your votes for what to name the next course!
And everyone's homework this month/week which is to listen to piano music and visualise in your mind how the hands would look playing that song (even if you don't know exactly which keys to play)...

What song have you chosen to listen to and visualise the piano keys?

skipandrews

Jackson Browne's "The Loadout/Stay"

Or maybe I will say instead Professor Longhair's "Tipitina's" or both.

RuthPower

Great choices. How did you go with the visualising @skipandrews ?

Hey all! Long time no chat! -This is a short notice to say that I've had to step up some of the anti-spam measures because random bots are trying to start discussions in the forum that have nothing to do with us... so please let me know if you find posting is too obstructive, but I'm trying it as a way to protect from spam. Please reply to this post and let me know how you go.

Hi Ruth, Feel it for you running an online business, these spammers/scammers are getting worse according to the News. When I logged in there was a Pop-Up sign "Nelson-chat.forum.pusher_not_found". assume that is the extra measure? I'll post this clicking on the "I'm not a robot: and happy to go thru whatever security checks you need to see the site safe. All the best, Mike

RuthPower

MikeClarke thanks Mike! I didn't know that they had been getting worse all over, that's interesting. Yes they've been trying to post about products & such, but I've set it so that no one can start a new conversation without my approval now, which means a little delay with getting conversations started, but worth it for the security I think.

I also see the pop-up "xelson-chat.forum.pusher_not_found" and did the reCaptcha for this reply.

RuthPower

Tricia It's ok, it might hang around for a bit - I'm not sure how to stop it!

RuthPower

HEY - I think I fixed the annoying warnings that were popping up. Let me know what you think! @Tricia et al!

Tricia

RuthPower I don't see any pop-ups either. Just the reCaptcha checkbox for the post :-)

MikeClarke

No pop-ups for this post. Not only are you the 'High Priestess Piano' you are now anointed the 'High Priestess IT'. :-).🙂👍

RuthPower

YAY!!! Level achieved!! Thanks guys! @MikeClarke @Tricia

hey everyone! Exciting news - the new Piano Picnic school platform is almost ready! I'm just doing some final testing and then I'll let you know once it's ready for you to check out!

Here's a video from Piano Day a few weeks ago:

Sounds good

The platform is a hit! I'm loving all these new students coming in and also existing students keen for the upgrade! Those of you who've joined the new platform, what are your thoughts? Do you like it? What's the best thing about it? Also - there's going to be a live training coming up as a reward for those who've joined - what do you want the live training to be about? let me know!
