I absolutely love all of your videos and they are so helpful to me as a piano teacher-thank you!! I have a few teenage students who are interested in learning some pieces by female composers like Amy Beach, Clara Schumann, Cecile Chaminade, etc. I would love to hear your teaching strategies and tips for any of their pieces! Appreciate all of your content!!

I have been binge-watching your teaching videos this past month and it's gotten me so excited to start teaching my students again this Fall! Thanks so much for all of your content-I learn so much from you. Do you plan to keep these KZfaq videos going? I noticed you also have videos in Tim Topham's membership, too.

The top is backwards. The lower side is supposed to be facing the front.

I had difficulty with the harmonic analysis of this piece. However, when you explained the concept of sequences for A minor and D minor scales, along with the three different kinds of A minor scales, all my confusion was resolved. I could then understand why and how different chords are used in this piece. Thank you so much for doing this analysis and sharing it with us. I really dislike playing a piece without understanding the analysis and just memorizing it. I prefer to understand and then play something. This method has been empowering for me, not only as a piano player but also in becoming a composer and improviser in the future.

Thank you Janna! (from a noob.) the mordant is important.

Thanks 🎉

Thanks Janna 🎉

nice

This piece sounds like Beethoven's trying to sound like Mozart or Haydn.

I can play this piece in 20 seconds. So easy after I have downloaded a piano application into my brain and now I am able to play any piano piece with zero practice. With this piano application downloaded into my brain, I am now a concert pianist with zero schooling and zero practice time. So easy. It's a walk in the park.

I am second tho slay!

I love yoru teaching. This is the way it ought to be: discovery, explanatoin, love, and joy. 1:01 "Many people who graduated with a college degree in music are not ... music training..." You're right about that. Most music programs is where the love of music goes to die. Blaire School of Music killed my children's love of music (most, not all, teachers were brutal and abusive -- no uncommon). They beat it out of them. Most every music school grad I've known (not every) were ruined by music schools.

Slay

Thanks, good suggestion. Vandall did write some helpful etudes. And some fun duets.

Could you make videos this fall about the other moment Musicaux by Schubert? I assigned the other f minor one. I’m not really familiar with the pieces, but I started playing this summer. What wonderful pieces. I’m very famillar with his Noble waltzes

awesome thanks so much for all the great tips

Thank you for showing this. It’s helpful in so many ways, and so is inspiring even across the planet from Chicago, to The Scottish Borders.

Good tips. I want to study works of him.

any advice on the fingerings?

Could you also please teach the division and subdivision of beats or counts for every note of every bar including the bass clef please, Ive been struggling to do that

Love this part of the piece.

You said that this video isn't for people learning the piece but I still find it really helpful as a learner! This helps me understand what a teacher would be telling me if I had one.

Many thanks!

Congratulations on the class, I thank you especially for the tips on executing the scales at the end of the piece...what a relief. Thanks 👏👏👏

Hi Janna, could you suggest a book for daily technique training suitable for an intermediate level?

Thank you for your valuable teaching. I always learn something when I watch your videos

I have no clue,

Great bench review. Thank you. Could you please make a video about the other 2 benches in the background. I would love to hear your opinion about them and how they are compared to the new Hidrau bench. Thank you.

I was wondering about measure 58, beat 2, treble clef...in some editions it has a G# which is what I grew up playing, but then in the Keith Snell edition it doesn't have the G#. I've seen it both ways in various editions. I was wondering if you had clarity on this. Many thanks, Norma.

I'm currentoy learning this piece! Great tips!!!

many thanks to you, I feel a lot more confident and guided by your informational video

You gotta speed up

Thx so much for your clear explanation. Your advice to the teaching of Beethoven's Sonatina in G 2nd movement is definitely useful for piano teaching for my students.

I think this is the one you were talking to me about the other day

I love this explanation

Hi Janna. I am looking for a Tablet Holder that clips onto a mic-stand to record myself playing the piano from directly above. Someone in another group mentioned that you might have a video on that topic. I've been scrolling through all your videos and can't find it. Can you point me in the right direction?

I love this simple sonatina and classical sonatinas in general, especially when they’re melodic and whimsical. You’ve already made a video for Clementi (C major, no. 1). Are you familiar with Mozart’s Viennese Sonatina? I like that one as an introduction to classical music and form. It starts with dramatic octaves, followed then by my favorite measure, which, if memory serves, is a lovely, short chromatic passage. Just an idea suggestion for a possible future video. 🎉❤

Hi I’m the guy that messaged you on Facebook about the clementi Sonatina thank you for posting this

Thanks for posting this! This was my first "big piece" that I learned and I loved it!

I used Thoroughbass and have transposed this into all the keys. I have a bad habit when I play those measures that you demonstrated by crying out how beautiful the music sounds. You really have high quality lessons. Merci beaucoup.

Memorization is the best option Ma'am

This is my school bell

Can i ask you why gymnopedie 1 is on the list of the pieces that student must learn instead of gnossiennes 1 ? Because Gnossiennes is harder ?

Hey Janna; im practicing daily the scales and chord and arpeggios. I need motivation. Can you tell me why are they so important? I mean scales and chords etc.

I love this song and the explanation!❤
