Piano related podcasts?

ZigZagStory

A pianist friend told me about this cute podcast.
From their website:
Every week on Performance Today's Piano Puzzler, Bruce Adolphe rewrites a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer. Can you guess the hidden tune and name the composer?

Hi ZigZagStory

I watch the "You'll Hear It" Podcast on YouTube on a regular basis.
This is run by two Jazz Pianists - Peter Martin and Adam Maness.

Here's an example:

Simonb, I have considered signing up with Open Studio and seeing whether I can pick up some new knowledge / skills / techniques / tricks. 🙂 I like what they do online for free but I know I'm missing a lot of practical theory because I never had much education that way. My piano lessons revolved more around, "Here, play this!", which I did. I feel kinda like a fairly high level speaker that never learned much about grammar... only in regards to music.

@ZigZagStory I love the piano puzzler. I wonder if you can still listen to previous episodes…

Hi Bellyman

Yes, I've also considered signing up to Open Studio, but whilst I'm having classical Piano lessons it would be a waste of time, since most of my practice is devoted to classical, and what I do at a variation on an open mic night, which isn't Jazz either.

That said, I have purchased a couple of Peter Martin's "Packs", when they have been in a sale. One for Stevie Wonder and the other Monk. You got videos (of PM), transcriptions of what he plays as well as his analysis. They normally contain 4-6 pieces, and at sale price are great value.

I think my playing is the other way around. I know quite a lot of grammar, but really haven't got much beyond simple sentences!

Cheers
