I’m pleased to announce that the Successful Music Student has reached 75 posts with the post Playing Piano with Color Coded Left Hand Notes. Along with the blog posts, I’ve been posting a lot on social media, so I’m tired but pleased.
You are, of course, the reason I do it, so I hope you find them helpful. If you do, please return again.
Thanks for reading,
