Don't be put off by a tinkle or two of classical music at the start of this week's podcast. It's just a small acknowledgement of the fact that we are in Warsaw, where Polish-born piano master composer Frederic Chopin was raised.What do Warsaw and Gdansk have to do with apartments? Heaps as it turns out. Having been flattened by the Nazis during the Warsaw uprising of 1944, the city was completely restored to its former glory by Soviet overlords after WWII.And you can take a guess at what the reward was for outstanding contributions to the project, whether it was as an architect or a bricklayer.A couple of hours north in Gdansk, the shipyards made famous by union leader and eventually president Lech Walesa are mostly silent now. But there are still cranes sweeping the skyline – only now they are building apartments rather than boats.Oh, and in out mini-rant about how to keep electric bikes and scooters under control, we should have said they have similar system in Hobart.Closer to home we examine the result of wayward strata manager Whitney Wang's appeal against having his licence cancelled.And we look at the pile of money it took to by Australia's most expensive property -almost as high as the building in which it sits.That's all in this weeks' Flat Chat Wrap (although Jimmy can't believe he didn't describe Warsaw as a Chopin centre).

There are three ways we learn how to play the harp. The first and most obvious one is by doing. Playing and practicing is our “go to” method for learning. You can't actually learn to play the harp without playing it. When my son was about 12 or 13, he fell madly in love with football. There weren't any teams he could play on at his school or in our community, so he had to be content with playing football video games. Not the same thing, of course. Even so, when he got to high school and finally had the opportunity to play on a real team, he was actually surprised to find out how different the game was when he was on a real field instead of a virtual one. The second way we learn is by instruction, by having someone show us how to advance our skills or teach us new ones. In today's world there are countless ways to get instruction: lessons, coachings, videos, online courses. But instruction can teach us more than how to get our fingers to obey our commands. For example, a music theory class can help us learn the elements of music like keys, harmony, melody, structure and form. That's an important part of our harp playing too. Today, though, we're going to talk about the third way to learn to play the harp, and that's through music itself. This is the part of learning that goes beyond the doing, beyond the fingers, notes and rhythm, to discovering how music communicates and learning how we can communicate it through our harp playing. This may be an advanced concept, but the methods we are learning today (going back to learning method two, instruction) are ones every harpist at every skill level can and should use. We are going to talk about how music can show you how to be more musical. If that sounds a little circular, don't worry. I'll sort it all out for you. Our particular focus areas today will be two techniques that are extra challenging for harpists, more so than for other instrumentalists. We're talking about legato and rubato, and we are going to be looking at them through the music of two pianist/composers, John Field and Frederic Chopin. Whether you've played their music or not, there is a lot for us all to learn from them, so get ready for some beautiful music and some ideas you can use to make your own playing more expressive and beautiful.
