Go Play Project 2012
Like many piano teachers, over the years my own piano playing has taken a back seat to teaching and all the administrative work that goes along with running a music studio. This year I’ve decided to change that. I am making a commitment to record one piece a week in 2012 and upload it to Soundcloud. Piano teachers, would you care to join me in this challenge? Here’s what we’ll get out of it:
- A cure for those of us who are procrastinators or perfectionists.
- An chance to share our favorite repertoire and learn new pieces.
- An opportunity to show our students what they can accomplish if they practice.
Who wants to join me in the “Go Play Project 2012?”

Brilliant scheme!! Love it!
Tiny suggestion: one out of every five pieces uploaded should be a piece you wrote or an arrangement of a piece you like. Doesn’t matter if it’s only 12 bars.
Oh, you’re killin’ me! But you’re right. I’ll seriously consider it.
One challenge at a time, fireandair!!! (don’t you think?!)
Hey, if we’re all scared of it, that means that’s where we need to go.
That’s a daring project
Does it matter if it is an improvised version? Like you and many piano teachers, practice has taken a back seat for me…my practice routine has now been mostly playing my own improvised pieces and pieces that does not require too much technical skills….
Sure! Here’s another pianist doing something similar with daily improvisations… Classical pianist @MaryTPrescott is posting a new piano improv every day here.
