This week’s episode explores something we haven’t touched on before: tone. 🎹 Tone isn’t just about loud or soft—it’s color, texture, and energy. It’s what gives your music soul.

You’ll learn:

• How your touch affects the sound.
• Simple tone exercises to try at your piano.
• Creative metaphors to help shape your musical voice (think: silk, fog, feathers, rain on glass…)
• A beautiful reminder: your tone is your fingerprint. 🎨

💡 Practice Prompt: Choose one piece this week and don’t worry about perfection. Instead, ask:How does my piano want to sound today? Listen closely. You just might hear it… breathe.
