good one. made me chuckle

This is still practical you also have to learn theory and there are levels until level 8

@@maralsalbashian3517 and then there is ARSM, dipABRSM, LRSM, FRSM and then the levels of difficulty beyond that 😂

Hahahahahahaha

Oh wow, thanks for alot for those kind words, but I doubt that my English is even close as good as your German haha :) I didnt even figure out that you were a foreigner until you mentioned it, which is really impressive because that never happend to me before. I always thought that it would be nearly impossible to master german as a second or even third language, so I am really amazed by that. Although its true that should never stop learning, I fear my problem is something different. With only 18 years of age I still have a lot of time to grow, but the level of understanding of music that artists who studied music since their early childhood have, well, that is truly impossible to reach for people like me. However, I do not even share the intension of filling concert halls, just playing the piano for myself or a small group of friends is rewarding enough for me (I did play around with the thought of uploading stuff to KZfaq as well, but mainly in order to get some criticism & to improve because of it). But I still envy musicians like Tiffany (in an appreciative way) because not only do they have the talent, they also dedicated their life to music which is a lovely thought, isnt it? Even if I learn a piece until I am able to play it to perfection, maybe even as good as Tiffany, I still wouldnt reach her level. You simply need the theoretical knowledge as well. For example, I can play Chopin´s Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 pretty well, but that doesnt really make me a good piano player does it? Again, thank you for your words and sorry for the long text, maybe I should have written it in German to be a litle bit more on point, but I hope you understand what I am trying to say anyway.

You can do it,if you play the piano more than 10,000 hours. A long journey always starts with the first step.

@@bl-ade Hello. I'm Victoria from Ukraine. I'm 18yo too. And I feel you, when you are talking about that conflict in yourself. When I'm playing piano, I feel really happy. I have no musical education and dreaming of playing piano, maybe even of becoming pianist a lot. And love classical music very much. Now I haven't piano, but doing everything I can to improve my pitch and rhythm. Just do what I can. I hope we could chat and become friends, because of common passion for music, motivating and helping each other.

I feel you, brethren. I started playing this year as well, and I think the best piece I can play is the Moonlight Sonata first movement, lol. I really want to get into Chopin (specially etudes), but my playing speed and accuracy is too low as of now. However, I will keep on practicing until I master piano in general (even tho I can't even read music sheet yet lol) 15 years old btw

Uyen Nguyen I hope you passed

jason reeve thank you so much! I passed the exam and now I’m preparing for Diploma in Performing. I still don’t like scales tho but still do it from time to time to warm up my fingers ( i always warm up so it’s not a from time to time thing)

Uyen Nguyen If it’s the ARSM Diploma you’re talking about then have no fear. I did it two years ago and it was far more enjoyable and relaxed than the grade 8. Just lovely music and no scales!

Aww yay thank you!!

Thank you :) Take a look at my new practice video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbhdi86StMneYqc.html

Tiffany Poon i saw it already haha

James Kramer Thank you so much fot your comment! Playing the piano and listening to music are the two most enjoyable things in my life and allthough I started at the (late) age of 11 (im getting 17 on christmas), my biggest goal is to get close to the level of a concert pianist oneday. I'm really enjoy practicing and playing all those amazing composers such as Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms or Mozart. I also play and listen to more modern music and can really enjoy it but I think classical (mostly romantic) music will always be my no. 1 favourite. Have a great christmas and future life! 💙

For me it's basicly finding structures in the music and harmonic relationships between them, then i have way less to memorize than if i were to remember every single note... Also, after playing something multiple times, something called "muscle memory" kicks in. It means that the brain actually automatizes the movement of the muscles, which also is why i can play certain pieces like the piano/harpsichord part of the 2nd movement of the BWV1028 Sonata (J.S. Bach) or Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu eventhough i haven't played them a lot or for a long time.

hi Sean, I love your video

Ravel wrote for the piano originally before orchestrating it :)
