Anne and Robert have given lecture recitals for the appreciation of music for piano and guitar to composers in Italy and the general audience elsewhere. They demonstrate how the two instruments can be both complementary and compatible. After 9 years of competing with the grand piano, the guitar survives the battle. Learn top secrets of how to play louder and faster with guitarist Robert Bekkers in a unique workshop called UBERFASTER. Anne's piano teaching thesis focussed on sight reading. Based on her initial workshop on sightreading for pianists in May 2003 in North Cyprus, she has since expanded these techniques in private lessons for her students. Why blog? As one of the earliest bloggers, Anne offers insight into the costs and benefits of blogging. What has it done for her? Should you get started? If so, how do you continue? Are you considering doing a career make-over, such as leaving your full-time profession and turning your hobby or passion into something more serious? Anne shares her experience of leaving the energy industry and become a creative or cultural entrepreneur after meeting Robert. It's not for the faint-hearted. Anne will write about the steps involved in planning a concert tour after this experience. She is interviewing house concert hosts and producers. |
