My cats don’t much like my piano playing. Everyone’s a critic. 🐾
I hope you enjoy these improvisation videos I pulled out of the archives (see below). I share my unedited piano improvisation recordings here on my blog 4 times a week. These are older ones I recorded a while back. As usual, raw, uncut snapshots of my internal musical world, for the purposes of sharing my passion for music.
After more than a year of regularly publishing my recorded improvisations, I decided to also use this creative space to support Cats Protection — the charity where I adopted my own critics.
If these performances, or any of my others, brought a moment of joy to you today, please consider reading more about this project below, sharing my blog with someone who likes music and/or cats, or making a small, voluntary donation directly to Cats Protection via my JustGiving Page. Please never feel any obligation to give — your time, ears, and shares are support enough! ❤️
About this Charity Project
Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
As a professional piano teacher, my blog is a space where I share raw, unedited musical improvisations four times a week. Music often holds up a mirror to our inner worlds, offering a moment of quiet reflection, peace, and emotional connection in a busy world.
As I have been regularly recording my daily improvisations and publishing 4 times a week for a while now, with no plans to stop, I thought I would use this creative journey to shine a light on a cause very close to my heart: Cats Protection. My own beloved cats are rescues from this wonderful charity, and I get to see the joy they bring to my life every single day. These recordings are completely free to listen to, but if one brought you a moment of peace or joy, please consider donating to Cats Protection via my JustGiving page, or spreading the word.
How your donation helps:
Cats Protection works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome thousands of cats and kittens across the UK every year. By donating the price of a coffee, a music sheet, or whatever you can comfortably spare, you are directly helping them provide medical care, shelter, and love to cats waiting for their forever homes.
How it works:
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and totally secure. Your details are safe, and the money you donate goes 100% directly to Cats Protection automatically. I handle absolutely none of the funds myself, so you can give with total peace of mind.
If a recent improvisation brought a little comfort or joy to your day, please consider supporting these wonderful rescue kitties in return.
Thank you so much for listening, and for your kindness. 🎹🐾
