The Bulletproof Musician

Several members of the Ottawa Piano Group have found the http://www.bulletproofmusician.com/ site to be a useful resource.

The site, created by performance psychologist and Juilliard graduate Dr. Noa Kageyama, is packed with information that musicians -- both professional and amateur -- can use to help them improve their practice habits and performances.

A new Chopin resource

Liz came across this website from a resource on ABRSM's website: Chopin First Editions Online
http://www.cfeo.org.uk/dyn/index.html

From initial browsing it seems that one can view French, German and English first editions for most things.
