Thank you very much Kat! 😃

Read the description 😄

@@piano.is.a.language It is ridiculous that someone doesn't even know how to count the beatings properly but claim herself to be able to play grade 5 pieces. I think if you have this attitude to learn your piano, you will just be at grade 1 after 100 years then.

No you didn’t 👀🤣

@@piano.is.a.language i’m sure i did lol

@@joaogonsauros8985 🥲

Ahahahah that’s great! only another pianist could understand, it doesn’t bother me either 😃

Thank you 😀😀😀

Thank you, I’m glad it’s inspiring you. Good luck with your journey 😊

You mean in this piece I'm playing? It was Mendelssohn's Tarantella, was quite challenging indeed :D

The rolling of the butt? Ahahah Do you do it?

@@piano.is.a.language u gotta do what u gotta do 💀

@@secondthought2 Totally 😂

Thank you for your compliment! 😃

Ahahah thank you Christine 😆

Thank you Angela! ❤️

Yeah, I figured...Thank you for your suggestions! I'll pay more attention. 🥲

I understand that feeling. If I get up to stretch my legs, I'll usually walk by my piano. And I have time to walk by my piano, then I have time to tickle the ivory's for a quick 10-15 minute practice.

@@Reuben- yes! The addiction is strong 😃

Thank you for watching 😊

Thank you 😃🌹

Nice! Yes it’s a great piece 😃

Fair enough ahah

Thank you Vedran!!! 😃

@@piano.is.a.language You are welcome! 🙂

Thank you Valerie 😀🌹

@@piano.is.a.language All the best!🙏🙏🙂

Thank you! I’m not getting discouraged, learning from my mistakes and resting is very important in these situations though ☺️ good luck to you!

I wouldn't stand by that. Depends what the pain is like. If it's an ache in the lower wrist or forearm after playing something technically challenging, then that's normal. But if it feels like something similar to an inflammation, or injury-like pain then that's somewhere where you really should refrain from doing more of whatever is hurting you. The normal ache you get after doing something like playing fast chromatic scales for a long time in one go (depends how much practice you have already done to define how long exactly). But as mentioned in this video, it was derived from big chords and an incorrect technique for staccato, and the result was a burning in the right wrist, which to me doesn't sound like an ache, I would definitely avoid using your right hand for a while. I went through the same thing I think, and I kept pushing but it only got worse. It took me about 3 weeks to recover. If you have the same thing as me, which you can't be sure, definitely rest that hand. The left hand may just hurt thanks to tension on your wrist from your watch. I don't personally recommend wearing jewellery or watches while playing for that reason. Even long sleeves can slow you down. Maybe that will help, since I think it's a low chance that both your wrists are hurting due to the same reason at almost the exact same time.

@@FriskaPiano Thank you very much for sharing, Friska! Mmmh both hands were playing octaves, but the right hand had big chords too, so more challenging than octaves, and I practiced the right hand more than the left. Yeah I think in my case I just need to rest, I’ve seen lots of improvements already. I do believe playing piano should never hurt.

@@piano.is.a.language I agree that you should rest. I can't wait for more content! Although, I think going through some aches is good while playing piano.

@@FriskaPiano Thank you! :D I'll keep posting videos, just not new music for the next few weeks :)

Thank you very much Reuben! 😊

Do you? Why? 🤣

Thank you! How do you practice reading intervals? I don’t really do that

@@piano.is.a.language If one note on the sheet is in the line and the other one is between the lines then its always going to be an even interval: seconds, fourth, sixths... If both notes are in the lines or between the lines then its always going to be an unequal interval: thirds, fifths, sevenths... Thats the first thing you should know to read intervals the second is to know blindly the distance of these intervals, so your fingers can play an seventh for an example without looking at them. By knowing this you can slowly start to read intervals, its a lot faster when your fingers automatically knows the distance it needs to play instead of reading the notes. Might take a while at first but by practicing to just read these intervals it should get faster and faster, bach chorales are a good source to practice reading intervals, though they arent easy to sight read.

@@benarr8689 Oh I see, thank you! Yes I’ve heard many times about Bach chorales but never tried reading them, I’ll try eventually 😃

Hi! You're right, I changed the title thank you! Ops, I might have learned it wrong then ahah I didn't notice. I stopped playing it a while ago so I won't get back to it now, you have a great eye/ear for noticing!!! This was honestly my favorite etude from op. 299, it's quite pretty! I'm not really enjoying the n. 8 though ahah good luck with your studies!

Не сдавайтесь! Вы будете совершенствоваться благодаря решимости и страсти :)

Thank you! 😀

Thank you! 😊

Hi! I used ABRSM sightreading specimen, up to Grade 8. I prefer reading actual music rather than using websites or apps for this purpose 😊

Hi! My scales and arpeggios routine changes all the time 😂 I’m currently starting my practice sessions with 10-30 minutes of scales, learning harmonic and melodic minor. I just tackle the technique I’m more weak on, a little bit every day 😊 good luck!

Thank you! My teacher also told me to memorise pieces before but I struggle with memorising 🥲

@@piano.is.a.language a tip: try to memorise hands separately, like right hand and then left hand, until a certain measure, and then put them together memorizing one measure at a time, and when you feel comfortable, close the score and play slowly for a few number of measures memorized.
