“The operative word in music is, after all, play. So be playful,” says Hans Zimmer, film composer who's been nominated for 12 Oscars and won two, including for his score in "The Lion King." Before Zimmer was a world-renowned composer, he was a frustrated music student who had an unconventional education. “Eight schools asked me to leave. I left with pleasure,” says Zimmer. He wishes he had been offered a more playful way to learn, like the “Payam Method,” which prioritizes fun and accessibility in its piano lessons. #piano #pianolesson #pianoplayer #hanszimmer
