Conversations at the Piano Bench
Honest talks about learning piano, managing your mind, and using music as a way to understand your own story.
Featured Episode
What No One Tells You About Learning Piano
Why the hardest part of learning piano isn’t the notes or the technique — it’s managing your expectations, motivation, and mindset over time.
We talk through the emotional side of practice — comparison, plateaus, starting late — and how to stay in love with the instrument even when progress feels slow.

From Real Lessons to Real Conversations
The podcast grows out of real questions students ask at the piano bench: How do I stay consistent? Am I too old to start? Why is this so much harder than it looks?
Each episode is recorded with the same mindset as a good lesson—clear, honest, and focused on helping you see your playing and your mindset in a kinder, more realistic way.

“I wanted a place to talk about the parts of music we rarely say out loud — the doubt, the boredom, the joy, and the small wins that keep us coming back.”
