It's immature but I'm doing it anyway
Discussion
For about the last year, my nextdoor neighbour has apparently been trying to learn how to play the piano. Unfortunately she has it propped up against the wall that connects her house to mine which means I can hear it in every single room. She's not getting any better at it either, it's horrible listening to badly played piano.
I wouldn't mind if it wasn't so frequent but today is a typical example. She played it from 8am - 8.30am, then 9am - 9.15am, then again at about 10am. I went out from 10.30-12 but it's just started again. It usually goes on like that throughout the day. I know it's not illegal or against noise regulations to play a piano but she really takes the piss sometimes. She knows I can hear it. It really pissed me off when I was having chemotherapy and was sleeping a lot but kept getting woken up by piano noises all the time.
Normally I just try my best to ignore it, go out to avoid the noise or put headphones on. Lately though I've decided to start playing my own music every time I hear the piano. Unfortunately for her I listen to a lot of bass heavy music like hip hop, drum n bass and dubstep. I also have some pretty noisy speakers. I know for a fact she'll be able to hear it in her house as if I stand next to the wall where the piano noise comes from, I can feel the bass from upstairs.
I could go and talk to her about it but she's the most unreasonable person I've ever met. Absolutely horrible woman. The last time I said to her about it she just gave me some speech about how she's allowed to make a reasonable amount of noise, etc. I don't know what she does for money but she doesn't have a job and drives a brand new mini. Think it's child support or something that she's getting. It means she's in all day to play the piano. She seems to like getting up at bang on 8am every morning to play it aswell.
Is it unreasonable for me to blast my music in response? Is there anything else I can do?

...I don't know what she does for money...
Is it possible that she's a piano teacher and it's her students playing it?

if yo get a chance, have a look at the tax disc.. see if it says 'NIL' where the cost of the disk should be written.
if so, its a free car paid for by your taxes, and shes allowed 4 full tyre changes a year or something like that.
