I teach my pupils music from the Baroque period (think Bach, Handel and Scarlatti) right up to music written in this century. It develops really strong pianists. I practice a lot of Baroque music to stay strong.

Most of my adult pupils prefer music in minor keys so I wrote a piece of music that they (and children) can learn by rote called "Stormy Sunday". My 86 year old pupil is enjoying learning it!
