Stories for Young Musicians by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is a beautifully organized educational piano collection, specially designed for young pianists in Grades 2–6. With a progressive structure and a focus on both technical development and musical expression, this book introduces students to 24 expressive miniatures by one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. Each piece tells a story, encouraging students to engage their imagination while building foundational skills in tone, articulation, rhythm, and phrasing.

The three-day learning journey organised by @themusiqueloft and @natstudio_1985 received a standing ovation with a concluding concert at the @salasudasirisobha performed by all the aspiring pianists. It’s heartwarming to see how like-minded children get to know each other to a deeper level, building friendships, support and cheer one another at each practice and performance. It’s not just about the goal, but the process, the determination, and the joy that come with it. I asked my son, “shouldn’t the song be played a little slower?” , and he said “I want to play it fast… “. “Sure, but when it’s too fast, it may go out of control…” , but then I restrained myself from talking too much of what I believe… because I am supporting a child to his fullest potential, not creating a product to fit into a mould. He is a spirited child; so am thankful to Ms Shann from @thepianogardensg for choosing music that suits his character, otherwise, he loses interests in music because of the need to intentionally practise. At the end of the day, the music therapist in me constantly reflect, and ask “what is the function of music in his life?”. Without this reflection, it may be easy to get drawn to the wrong path. #raisingsons #musicalparenting #piano #6thoverseasperformersfestival #youngpianists #conbriomusictherapy #musictherapistmom #musictherapistmum #parenting #parentingsg https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp18VFrOolO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
