About
Hello and welcome! I’m Jon, founder of MyPianoandMore.com, a dedicated resource for adult piano learners. Starting piano from scratch four years ago with no prior musical experience, I’ve learned first-hand how rewarding the adult piano journey can be and want to help others succeed too.
Over the last four years, as an adult piano learner myself, I have discovered a renewed passion for music. Despite the abundance of digital music libraries, streaming services, and endless choices, which often lead to just flicking to the next song, something deeper was missing. This realization became even clearer during the Pandemic, inspiring me and many other adult piano learners to reconnect with the joy of making music actively.
During those lockdown times, I was turning 50 years old and my wife asked me what I wanted for this ‘milestone’ birthday. I told her I was interested in learning the piano and after a look of amazement, she searched high and low to find me one as a gift. And I have not looked back.
My Piano has become more than just a hobby, it has become an obsession, I have loved the learning process, with all its frustration and joy mixed together.
By no means am I a good pianist, but I am growing every day and finding that learning the piano is so satisfying, I make progress day by day, I look at what I can play now compared to 4 years ago.
I even impress some people sometimes, and I find that through the process of learning the piano, I relieve stress, I find a calm place and I get lost in re-discovering the tactile and audible joy of music. I don’t just listed to music anymore, I ‘hear’ it and I ‘feel’ it. I ‘Enjoy’ it again.
