Alan Rusbridger plays the piano

Interesting review of a book written by Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger about how he spent 20 minutes a day trying to learn to play a very difficult piece by Chopin. He says it made him a better editor. I agree - playing piano is like weight-lifting for the brain. The development of both physical skill and expression at the same time really improves your memory, intuition, articulation, language, in all areas of life
