About
My name's Sally Whitwell and I am Keeping Classical Music Friendly.
I play the piano, sometimes in solo concerts, sometimes with lots of friends. I write tunes for all kinds of people to play and sing. I conduct groups of people too. I even help them to manifest their own imaginations in sound. Some of these people are young and just discovering music for the very first time. Others have a little more experience in life (and art). Some are professionals at the very top of their game. Others are talented and enthusiastic amateurs who love having an opportunity to express themselves.
My partner Glennda and I live happily behind our shopfront studio crowded with her paintings, my piano and our four kitties Gandalf, Boudica, Lucky and Dickens. I enjoy cooking, walking and cross-stitching pretty (and occasionally subversive) things to put on the shelf next to my ARIA Award for Best Classical Album. Did I forget to mention that bit earlier? Oops. If you're desperate for the traditional classical musician lists of impressive collaborators, there's a list here. I've also some rather more entertaining little stories to share about my musical life story, why I play the piano, why I compose, how I am a little subversive about the way I perform and how I love helping others get creative.
Oh, and social media, yeah, well, I'm on Facebook, I'm on Twitter and I blog on Tumblr… you know the drill *grin*
Other than all this, just know that I love making music and I hope you enjoy what I have to share with you.
