Hello fellow WordPress bloggers, parents/students, and general visitors to my website. Thank you for visiting my blog.
I absolutely love the creative process of regularly recording my piano improvisations, and scheduling them to publish on my blog 4x per week. Listening to them is free, I welcome anyone who wants to hear them, and I share them as a way to invite you into the world of my musical imagination. I just want to share my passion for music with as many people as possible. Your encouraging and appreciative comments both here on my blog and in private have meant a lot to me, and I really hope you enjoy my music.
As I have been posting my regular improvisation recordings here for a while now, with no sign of running out of steam, I thought I’d use this creative space to raise funds for Cats Protection — the wonderful charity where I adopted my own two rescue cats, which you can see pictured above. 🐾
If my music brings you a moment of joy, peace, or reflection, please consider making a small donation to Cats Protection via my JustGiving page. Alternatively, you can show your support by simply sharing my posts with someone who might enjoy my music.
There is never any obligation to give — your ears, your time and your shares are support enough. Each person who listens inspires me to keep creating.
Even if you don’t donate, just spreading the word helps. You can share my blog here:

Where Edges Dissolve — Improvisation in F Aeolian, B♭ Dorian & A♭ Lydian
In this video you can hear me playing an improvised piece of music which I named Where Edges Dissolve. Whilst improvising this piece, there was a feeling of one mode blending into another with each change, like a cross-fade, where the edges between them were no longer defined. It was like watercolour on wet paper…

The Star So Far Away — Improvisation in G Lydian ♯2 & B Aeolian
Here is a video capturing an improvisation of mine which I named The Star So Far Away. The sorrow, light and darkness, and wistfulness in the modal combinations and harmonies brought to my mind the idea of a star that is so far away, that despite the way it burns bright, it is actually lifetimes…
