The day has finally come, to share my score of the "Treble Test Piece"! www.patreon.com/posts/56608827 www.milanrecordingstudios.com/#contact If you decide to upload my #TrebleTestPiece please use this Hashtag so I and others can find your recording.

James this is a wonderful video. It displays your generous spirit, which is essential to being a good teacher. Thank you so very much for releasing the score to your beautiful composition and for teaching us all how to play it well. I very much enjoy your teaching videos. You have extraordinary gifts for composition, performance, and teaching.

James, this piece clearly is special to you. It's brave of you to release it into the world. I get the feeling of a proud father dropping his first born off at kindergarten. I am truly touched by this video...

I love this piece. It’s so peaceful. Thank you for this. I love to learn this. I am learning right now

I don't need therapy, I watch James P. Shawcross' videos and learn from them. Thank you for all the work you done and are doing.

I taught myself this piece by ear a few months ago, I’m glad I can finally play it completely accurately!

I wouldn't mind seeing your bass test piece aswell in sheets too, I feel like these two test pieces have been a staple of your channel for years now

I'm glad to have a copy of this at last. Thank you for posting it!

Awesome!! Thank you for creating and sharing your treble test piece. I appreciate your continued hard work and great video content.

Oh wow.... Thank you so much for this JPS! Love your channel, your reviews and this wonderful piece!

You're the man! Love this piece. I started to learn this by ear, but it started to feel a bit wrong. Not wrong as in bad, but wrong as in not mine. Very happy you've release your image of this full piece! I had to edit this to add that you are a wonderful teacher. Your explanations of the notations and small detail really aids the tutorial nicely! Thanks again for this

Brilliant piece thanks

A zillion THANKS for this!!

Your explanation is very clear. I have long wanted the music for this. Thanks for for this.

Thanks a lot James for offering this little gem to the community. I will now doing my part : learning it, working it and recording my humble performance with my beloved Korg Havian 30... I think it would be fantastic to have this piece performed on many different pianos (acoustic, analog or digital ....) from all over the world :)

Oh this is wonderful, thanks a lot James!

Would love to see some tutorials!

I've been waiting for this :D, its amazing :D

Fantastic, thanks!

Fiiiinally - THANKS for sharing !

Love it. Love the piece and love the way you teach and play it. Unfortunately I can’t play anymore but I am going to put it in my music (midi) program so I can fiddle around with it. I think you can certainly do more videos like this. It is clear en understandable. Thank you very much for sharing and playing.

That’s really great! You could have just as easily copyrighted this but you decided to share it for free. It’s really a beautiful piece that could probably be expanded into a one movement sonata. Beautiful piece!

So cool! Much thanks! My next piece to get in. No problems at all to download it on Patreon.

I liked your detailed analysis of your treble test piece. A couple of months ago I used an early version to try out 6 grand pianos before I settled on an older Yamaha C3 (maybe later I'll put together a KZfaq video and send the link). This was quite useful in getting a feel for each piano's action, touch and sound. I now play your latest version with some minor changes except for the repeated middle section where the first time through I use your earlier version and then repeat with the current one. I am interested in listening to possible tutorials you suggested and like your speaking style and presentation.

I have used your videos to do research about purchasing a piano and have made the decision to buy a D20. Then I came across this video, (absolutely beautiful piece), and would highly encourage you to continue doing instructional videos. The level of detail you have when teaching is incredible. That of someone who would cost me 120$ an hour of lesson. Subscribed; keep up the good work! 👍

Yay im so excited thank you!!!!! Next suggestion of mine is that earth angel piece you used to use to test pianos. Also very beautiful :)

Finally! Thank you Mr. Shawcross.

Great tutorial !😄

Thank you so much ..I was asking you in a comment to upload the tutorial of the piece in one of your video .....❤️❤️❤️🌝

Thanks for putting this together - I taught myself an earlier version, took a few shortcuts and changed some bits and now realize how much I got wrong! It still sounds nice though.

Beautiful, please have more tutorials.

James, I thought your tutorial approach was outstanding! So much info and patient explanation for pianists of all levels! Bravo! How about a tutorial for the 3rd movement of The Moonlight Sonata in your amazing style? [I'm not sure which software you used to transcribe your piece, for example Finale, but could I gently suggest you remove (or explain) the 2nd layer rests that appear in the midst of some measures? I recognized them for what they are but, for less experienced pianists, they may wonder what a half rest is doing between the staffs.] I never miss a review and, having once lived in Massachusetts for 30 years, I loved your travelogues of the area!

I would love more teaching-style videos!!!!

James. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece. I always loved this piece and I'm one of the many people requesting you, but since you didn't reply I thought you didn't want or were unconfortable so I never ever asked again. I was ready to pay if you were to ever make a sheet of this piece so I'll join patreon and do my best to learn and play this piece! Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCHH

Love it

Wow, Thank You 😊 so much for sharing this wonderful piece with us. Your tutorial is on point, and I hope you teach us more music (pieces) 🎶#TrebleTestPiece

Dude, I would love to see more of your piano lessons, maybe even a course on some learning platform? 🤔 And thanks for the sharing the sheet, I don’t think I’m good enough to get it just right yet, but it’s really nice to finally be able to try it out for myself.

I thought about asking for the score for the test piece. Ty for showing us.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece with us. I've been waiting for this for a long time, and the tutorial is a great bonus. I have a playlist exclusively for your test pieces. Looking forward for your bass test piece.

I like to have the sheet music to follow as I listen. This piece is a little above my ability to play but I should at least be able to play parts of it. It will be fun to practice and learn something new.

Finally! :)

Yes, please do! As a matter of fact you can go ahead and make a udemy course about how to play the piano and i will gladly watch the whole thing. :D Also, if you do a tutorial video on a song please play the whole song as it should be played in the beginning or the end. :P

I look forward to learning this piece (you may remember me annoying like a rock in your sock to transcribe it). Thank-you. Have classes started back at ETSU? I hope all is going well there.🎹👍

Hi, for a self intermediate learner, if you could also do a video what are the general exercises to do to progress to really advances level (eq. Hanon or Czerny or they are not required?), that would be great!

If I learn it, will they let me play $200,000 pianos wherever I go?

I think doing more tutorials is an excellent idea - I'm sure you'll have a lot of followers. One thing to think about (I don't have the answer!) is that there are already a lot of online tutorials, books and courses on learning to play. The challenge, for anybody, is how to offer something that is unique rather than merely duplicating all the others. Featuring your own compositions is one possibility.

James, please tell me where the riff you use to test the Fender Rhodes setting comes from. Thank you!

Omg! So what is the title of the piece... just "treble test piece"? You are so cool man! I always watch your vids.

#trebletestpiece

"like a robot" would be "roboto" wouldn't it? ha ha.
