Really nice practice session. liked it a lot. what is the use of the airpods?

I wish I could play the piano but singing is specialty, cool that your uploading your practicing. Keep it up.

very nice

Watch this video: "Posture at the piano - Tips & Tricks - classical pianist explains"

Just an FYI. It looks like you are sitting too close to the piano. Your elbows are restricted. Which restricts your whole arm. That puts stress on the whole arm...shoulders, elbow, wrists, and fingers because your entire arm is restricted by the elbow being blocked by your torso. Sometimes you even move your whole body back away from the keys to get your arm around your torso when moving down the keys. Like your hips moves backwards and your curve your lower back to try to make room for the arm. When you go up the keys your arm and elbow looks like they are going behind your torso (puts stress on shoulder). It would better to sit back away from the piano so you arm moves more naturally. Watch how the pros sit. You try to find a video on technique for op. 10 no. 1 that covers arm movement.

tell me if im wrong, but i feel like you are off tempo at the beginning

I like 10 #1 played at that slower tempo. You can easily hear those beautiful harmonic changes. Really enjoyed this. Well done.

Hi Alex I have find Chopin Etudes of my grandfather piano book I haven’t been able to play on it yet I would like to try to learn on it what page you on

Thank you for your videos, I enjoy to watch it a lot!!!!1

The part at 0:16 sounds very beautiful and quite different then when played in tempo later. Very dreamy and maybe melancholy? I wonder if some composer or artist got inspired by these few measures and sampled this part. I only know about Godowsky's studies.

Wonderful. I enjoyed listening to your practice.

Awesome video <3 I spotted the Tally-Ho card are you doing card magic? Greetings from the walrus :D

I think you may develop your hand faster if you would stick to individual bars for much longer, instead of playing through entire etudes in a specific practice pattern. In my own ongoing journey through Liszt’s “Feux Follets” and Chopin’s “Thirds” etude, I often focus on the hardest 4 bars for 30 minutes at a time, often spending several minutes on one rhythmic practice pattern for each, to explore the perfect hand and finger position, wrist pressure points, and mind set, which usually differs for each bar. If you only play each bar once and move on, you never give your hand the chance to do that. Also, this way you will obviously push your technique in certain bars forward faster, and in my experience the other bars will automatically benefit. Finally, pick your etudes wisely. I have played 10.1 for years when I was younger and not that good and always struggled. In hindsight, I find that this was not a good choice, and I would have benefitted so much more from etudes that focus on finger independence. I personally made by far my biggest jumps from first Chopin Thirds and then Feux Follets. Anyways, just food for thought, these are just my personal experiences, and everybody is different. Maybe my viewpoint can help you. Good luck!

really cool !!!!!

I AM LEARNING OP 10 NO 5 TOO !!!

wow, very beautifully played!

I would like to learn classical music on piano

I like your videos What books is better to use to play on piano can you send me email I would like to

I lost my vision (retinal detachment) a few years back when I wasn't playing piano at all. This has had one positive affect though. I'm finally able to play by ear and I wasn't good at it at all. I'm forced to listen closely as most day's I can't see the sheet music clearly enough to play it. My mom used to harp on me not being able to play by ear (she wasn't trying to get me to be a better musician and pianist, she got tired of me begging her for new sheet music every weekend). But my point is that you're sometimes forced to listen more closely to dynamics and tone, as well as the notes. I'm also learning to play more by feeling and touch, it's made my technique better by at least twice in 11 months of practicing daily. Not highly recommended to go blind, but there's something positive in every loss, setbacks are inevitable. So maybe forcing yourself to play like there's no sheet music could be extremely helpful, as well as making my mom happier than the goose that laid the golden egg.

A travesty that I'm your first like...but I know how hard it is to get views. Big like and new friend/supporter here. I'm on a mission to build us all up 🎹 😊

Good job mate

Lovely

What do you think about practicing etiudes without sustain pedal? I did it few last times and found that I have been able to notice many more mistakes and irregularities :) Thanks for the video, it's very inspiring!

1:45:28 sounds like Succession main thene

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life!

I can see in the way you communicate with the piano that your musical sensibility is much greater than other people. When I play, sometimes, I start to feel a connection, almost a dialogue between me and the composer, and I feel like you do too. Great job and thanks for posting your practice routine :)

Hi Alexander I have advice for you which kick of your technic. Try play short frases or event tacts in right tempo 5,6notes and repead then conect to next short fragment etc you will be shocked about result

And. I want to get my practice going what can I do

I would like to learn some Christmas songs as well I would like to learn more about shapes and flats and move my hands quickly I would like a challenge to play grade 8 I think I can do it it just gets my fingers and my practice routine as well

Awesome!👍👍🎼🎵🎶🎹

Will you post the finished product as a seperate video? I really quite like where this is going.

What a beautiful and well thought out improvisation!

2-5-1 is basically a surround movement : whole tone above half tone below then arrival

Just found your channel from Bill's Patreon video that he posted the other day and your videos are exactly what I've been looking for for ages! The "slow tv" style of actually getting to join in with a real practice session and hear the thought process like a live stream. (I'm also about to also jump into jazz from a classical background, poor Bill has volunteered as tribute to teach me).

Best of luck preparing for Valentine's Day

Happy new year I think you should revisit diminished harmony theory It's not just jazz or Barry Harris but also Scheonberg Personally I find it much more elegant than the theory talk in conventional American universities, especially when analyzing more lyrical bcomposers like Chopin and Debussy

The guy who runs that channel you mentioned actually used to drive Barry Harris around and probably is the channel that gives the most direct instructions His channel as well as that jazz skills channel I talk to you about early on I think are probably the two best

Yes please

Hi alex like Christmas song what book is it I would like to do bit of more sight reading I have watched your KZbin video they very good Merry Christmas and happy new year see you on the 10 Wednesday January

Bravoooo!!!! Ese es el espíritu, buena música navideña en todo caso.

Great practice session You get the concepts so quickly You were spot on using the 5th mode of the harmonic minorscale for dominants resolving to minor Now that you mostly understand scale line practice techniques, the next step is to practice the scales in thirds, then triads, arpeggios, broken chords, the Barry chromatic scale, and more enclosures and you will have all the vocabulary you need to create authentic bebop language

Amazing progress! You have a great ear and likely you would discover these methods on your own, however I suggest you investigate Barry's half step rules as well as his chromatic scale Then you'll sound like a bebop pro in no time

It should be called, 'Help Me, Rondo' :)

I think "altered chord" refers to a dominant chord that lacks any unaltered 4th/5th/9th, but might include b9, #9, #11/b5, #5 or any subset

Recently found your channel and really enjoying the videos but your voice audio is a touch quiet. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on how you improvise so please turn them up a bit!

Billgrahammusic has a great showing an example of a practice routine called how to improvise on the blues with half step rules and substitutions

Once again I am impressed You really are a savant Trust your ears There are exercises for fluidity and rhythmic timing on Jazz Skills and other sites but you already understand the concepts

It is amazing to me how quickly you have understood the diminished system Every concept you discovered is something Barry Harris has discussed at some point I would say on your own you have discovered about 85% of the choices on a dominant chord I am very impressed

Have you checked out Labyrinth of Limitations? or Things I’ve Learned from Barry Harris?

really cool to hear your talk about working through learning this, rather than just waiting to post a video once you’ve mastered it and make everyone feel like fools :)
