Piano Competitions: Good or Bad?

In this episode, we discuss improving your mindset at the piano by removing negative self-talk and limiting thoughts, and replacing them with mantras such as “Go fast...not hard. Effortless speed.

Boring Days - How They Can Lead To Inspiration

This podcast discusses the strategies, tips, and techniques that Dr. Josh Wright has picked up over a lifetime of study to help you take your piano playing to the next level!

Josh is one of the most valuable instructors I’ve come across. I use his lessons as a supplement to my love lessons and frequently apply the knowledge he’s acquired to my own playing. He’s an absolutely qualified instructor and his lessons are game-changing. Seriously, experienced pianists, beginners, even non-pianists, give this guy a listen!

Love Everything Josh Does

Josh shares great comprehensive insights and tips that normally one would only get under private instruction under a well regarded piano teacher at a costly hourly rate.  I supplement listening to Josh’s podcast/YouTube channels along with private lessons to give myself flexibility in learning. I highly recommend the pro practice online courses as well!  He’s great. No other pianists/DMA shares this depth of knowledge online.

Motivation & Drive

In this episode, we discuss the concept of shifting vs. crossing in scales and arpeggios, and how these concepts can apply in many different situations in your repertoire pieces. In order to properly explain these concepts, we dig into the concepts of the three types of rotation you can use in your wrist to accommodate more fluid movement, as well as the concept of pearling.
