Great pianist #1: warming up with scales is good for your hands

Great pianist #2: the small motions of scales are bad for cold hands

Great pianist #3: a technically demanding piece is the best warmup

Great pianist #4: never start with the virtuoso stuff, ease into practicing

Me every morning:
When I was in a touring choir in undergrad, we'd stay with host families wherever we were touring, and one of my favorite things was when they loved to make jam and had soooo much leftover because they always gave us some ❤️
All praise to anyone who makes jam from scratch and then just gives that jam away to friends. Rock star move. No notes.

I still remember my childhood best friend's landline # (and my family's), but new numbers? Nada!
realizing I've pretty much lost the ability to memorize phone numbers has really quantified the extent of my brainrot
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

This is your periodic reminder that education (higher or otherwise) has benefits other than improving your capacity to perform in the labor market, and these benefits may in fact even be *more important* than employability.

The thing is... musical creativity is extremely accessible already! It's the easiest thing in the world from a technical perspective! Little kids make up songs constantly.

“Are you a dog person or a cat person” brother that’s like asking if I’m a sunshine person or rainbow person. Show me the critter
Teaching makes me sooooo hyper
One of my colleagues just said to me, "Let's talk about the harmonic series. It's all I think about." 😂 I love it

My most one-brain-cell trait is that whenever I see video of someone playing the piano I am like “WOW how do they do that?!?! magic?????” even though I am a professional piano player
