Mr Josh would you make a video about reducing soreness on forearm when playing difficult pieces such as the " Winterwind etude" . Because of the soreness,I cant really practice the pieces smoothly

Jun Cheng Chew check out all of my videos about reducing tension, including the two “Free Hands” videos I’ve posted. Reducing tension should be the main objective to overcome that. Also, realize that stamina is built up over time. I remember my arm always getting tired after playing that piece, but it shouldn’t be sore for longer than about 30 seconds if you’re using the right techniques

Great tips and perspective. I recently interviewed a former Berklee prof and Julliard Grad on our podcast and learned about how important, "studio" is, especially in the classical space.

LOGAN SKELTON! I played his 1993 Suite for Piano for my Master’s recital at the University of Nebraska back in 2002. That Burlesque at the end was deadly intense!

Just out of curiosity what pieces did you play at the auditions?

@joshwrightpiano 5 жыл бұрын

Volen Ivanov Because each school had different repertoire requirements, there was quite a bit of repertoire. It’s been so long (about 7 years I think) but off the top of my head I remember Bach P+F in GM Book 2, Mozart Sonata in F Major K332, Beethoven Tempest Sonata, Samuel Barber Sonata, Chopin Ballade No.1...I think there was more but I’m not remembering :)

I know it's crazy.. But I just started learning again at 27, but I only went to a piano preschool and I'm really determined to get into music school in a few years. The thing is, I already have a bachelor's degree and I'm currently doing a second. Would it be better to do a bachelor's in music or to go directly to grad school? I don't want to skip things in my learning.. And really I don't care how long it takes to get to music school, but I'm just worried I'm being unrealistic.

I think the video is not about preparation but plaining, anyway very good. Maybe you would like to speak about artistical freedom and juries? Trying to please vs being authentic

Is private lessons or grad school effective?

@joshwrightpiano 5 жыл бұрын

Ben Collins it all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re just wanting to become a better player as a hobby, I think private lessons would suffice. You could even supplement some theory lessons/classes. If yourself wanting to go into music, then grad school would be a better choice than just studying privately because it would be a more comprehensive education and would also put you in a more intense environment for growth

Hi Dr. Wright, I enjoy piano so much that I have been in piano concerts that my teachers studio provides, I have entertained senior citizens at a home facility. I like performing, I will be playing at the fox hills valley conference on grand piano in 1 month.

So I have to do a video submission because of COVID and they want me to play all major and minor scales 4 octave and all arpeggios 4 octave, but I’m not sure how to go about this, they want me to start on E major and go from there but I thought it would make more sense to start on C major, I’m just really confused as to how I should go about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
