Then Chris was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.
And he started to think he would never crack it. He would never become a pianist like he'd always wanted to.
With stiffening joints and limited practice time due to his medication, he started to hear that little voice at the back of his head saying: "You're never gonna do this. You're never gonna play the piano. Why do you keep going? Why do you put this time and effort in?"
Fortunately, Chris didn't give up.
And then he discovered superlearning.
Even though he was skeptical to begin with, in a matter of just a few weeks, everything changed.
Suddenly he was able to pull out even the pieces which had been most challenging for him in the past - and rapidly make progress and start playing them.
"I'm so pleased," he says. "I really feel different about playing the piano now. You're talking about a small number of weeks after a period of frustration that had lasted years. Now I know, I'm going to be a pianist."
