Beschreibung

Hey there! Greetings from my little slice of the Internet. I'm Ratko Delorko, pianist, composer, educator and author. I've got a side-hustle at the Piano Police as a Piano Police Officer. At the moment there's no incoming emergency call at the Piano Police Operations Center from desperate pianists, so I've got a moment to grab a cup of coffee and share a few thoughts from the environment of the piano and piano music with you. After many failed attempts and setbacks, today I can share with you the experience and insights I have gained over the years and certainly show you some shortcuts or put even you on the fast track. This is also called pragmatic learning and conveys a high problem-solving potential. I created the idea of the Piano Police to give you simple, actionable, bite size strategies to help you declutter your playing and feed you with snackable nuggets of pianistic wisdom. If you're an ambitious teacher or performer, or one in the making or on the rise, who's looking to create a pianistic approach that makes an impact and music you love, you're in the best place. Let's dive in. I am your Piano Police officer on duty today.

Hey there! Greetings from my little slice of the Piano Business. I’m Ratko Delorko, pianist, composer, producer, educator and author. I've got a side hustle at the Piano Police as a Piano Police Officer. At the moment, there’s an incoming emergency call at the Piano Police Operations Center from a desperate pianist.
