My student recently performed this wonderful composition of yours at my Studios June recital, he absolutely loved it… He spent only about five weeks working on it… we watched this video for insight. I posted his performance clip on my channel! Thanks again for bringing your music to my studio… my students also play many others of yours!
Thanks for making this video Mike. I made a cover of your piece and automatically swung it because it just sounded like such a cool cat of a piece that I didn't even think to not swing it. Good to know you meant it to be played either way - guess I'll go make a cover of it with straight eighths as well now, so as to not confuse people! Great piece, I love this sort of style.
Also, do you know if a student would be penalised if they played it swung for their exam, since it's not marked that way on the RCM score? Asking because I'm sure lots of students will wonder it over the next few years!
Thanks for your kind comments about this piece. I don't believe a student would be penalized. If there is any question, just direct them to my video. You're quite correct though...I'm sure I'll be asked about this many times in the next several years!
Thank you so much for your interest in my music! Best wishes to you!

I JUST realized that I did the same thing and came here to see if I had to correct myself! Love that you give freedom to play it either way!
Awesome piece!!! Loved your short talk as well :) Thanks so much for all your great music!
Thanks so much for your interest in my music! Best wishes to you!
My student and I really loved your presentation of this piece, as well as your comments. Thanks very much!!
Thank you! I appreciate your interest in my music!
It helped so much with my piano lessons
I’m so glad my music has helped! Best wishes to you!
Great piece. Loved foggy day Blues too. I've been revisiting early grades to improve my piano skills.
Wonderful! Thanks for your kind comments and happy practicing! :)
