@WestMidRailway 1715 train from new street to redditch has terminated at longbridge. Can you advise if/when a bus will come to pick us up? There's no information at the station.

@WatkinsHuw Those parallel octaves would have failed grade 5 music theory..

@nedboulting Just to remind everyone that we do still (just) have an excellent public library system where you can read for free (well nearly). Including Ned's excellent book.

@PianoDanmusic 1. Pactise. A lot.
2. Take load of valium (no not really) and take my ARSM Performance diploma.
3. Hope the examiner hasn't run screaming before the end.

Feeling quite smug after my 100th blood donation today. That's a lot of tea and biscuits. Many thanks to all the highly skilled staff @NHSBT who have helped make it possible over the years.

Great night at @LapworthMuseum. yesterday. Fascinating stands with amazing scientists and artists talking about their work including @WCNeuro. Next event in August.

@sarahpiano Now that's definitely the right attitude to an approach a performance! Must remember that when I do my exam next month. Not that I'm nervous of course ..

[Mark Hagger @MarkHagger7]

Plucked up courage and entered the @ABRSM #piano performance diploma #ARSM in March. Why is it that I can sit exams and spoken to large groups of people but put me in front of a piano with an examiner (or anyone else) and hands are shaking etc???

Thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with @sarahpiano on the #insideout piano last week. Total revelation. Other backers of @futurepianoltd who are getting a similar lesson are in for a treat.

[Mark Hagger @MarkHagger7]

Hope you get it! Looking forward to my piano lesson! @KawaiPianosUK @JaquesSamuel

If you're near @KingsPlace this Sunday morning, the @sarahpiano concert will be amazing with her "inside out" piano. Inspiring stuff for young engineers, musicians and ... well everyone. I saw her @StollerHall and 'twas brilliant @LondonPianoFest

@spotifypiano @sarahpiano @LondonPianoFest @KingsPlace @jigsawstructure @keechdesign @KlavinsPianos @snapemaltings @WildKatPR @BrudenellPiano @KitDownes @MatthewBourne_ @OlafurArnalds Sarah's pieces are definitely beautiful and emotional!

There are many myths about modern classical music but this is the music of today; music that we love. Leave your preconceptions at the door and get ready to gasp in wonder, laugh in delight and experience fresh sounds with The Thrill of the New (17 Oct): https://t.co/q84hrPSHgM

@charles_tebbs Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to tweet the same message one day. But i never need an excuse to just sit and play. It keeps me sane(ish) in these crazy days.

[Mark Hagger @MarkHagger7]

Great to be able to help @ICEWestMids mock professional reviews this evening. #inspired to see young engineers passionate about dealing with #ClimateEmergency #safety and #value for #ukengineering .

[Mark Hagger @MarkHagger7]

@ericasipes @Roland_US @SteinwayAndSons Sounds amazing. I'd be happy just to be able to play the f minor prelude and fugue from book 1 of WTC. Nearly there after 2 + years though....

[Mark Hagger @MarkHagger7]

Stunning concert by @sarahpiano @chethampiano summer school on Monday. Her piece feat. @GretaThunberg really got me on the #ClimateEmergency should be compulsory listening for ... well everyone. Bravo! @futurepianoltd .

Wow! What an amazing recital this evening from @AliceSaraOtt @THSHBirmingham. And after a sleepless 28 degree night in Germany apparently and food poisoning! Spellbound from the first note. @BBCRadio3
