I came up with the name "Many Hands" back in 2001, when I began organising charity concerts with my piano pupils. The idea is that a group of pianists all working together can achieve something amazing. The concerts have gone from strength to strength and I like to think my teaching has too. It takes more than one pair of hands to make a good pianist - family support and inspiration from other pianists, along with help from a qualified teacher, all play their part.
