Practice is the problem, but as she gets more into it and progresses through short pieces that she recognizes, it's becoming less of a tussle and she's actually starting to enjoy playing and feeling the rewards of doing it well.Author and friend of Dame Fanny, Alan Bennett says, ‘Dame Fanny Waterman is not someone to be trifled with. Fanny Waterman and Marion Harewood's Me And My Piano series is probably the UK's most widely-used and biggest selling piano method.
