🎙️ Episode 42 – Devi Mamak
G’day, and welcome back to Piano, finally—a podcast by an old bloke learning the piano, finally.
This week’s episode is a little different. I’m thrilled to share the very first interview on the show, and it’s with someone many of you have heard me mention before—my piano teacher, Devi Mamak. We sat down at her studio to chat about music, teaching, and learning piano as an adult. A big thanks to Devi for taking the time to speak after a full day of teaching.

🎧 Coming up next week
We’ll be back to the usual format. I’ll chat about how we picked the next four Grade 1 pieces from the AMEB Piano for Leisure and ABRSM Rock School books, and walk through how I set myself up for productive practice sessions.
🎵 Progress update
I’m working on refining three pieces:
- Fritz Spindler’s Canon
- Turk’s Bagatelle in F
- Andrew Craggs’ Afternoon Snooze
You’ll hear the first take of each—rough edges and all.
Thanks again for tuning in. Until next time, may your piano stay in tune and your practice time be rewarding.
