[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Oh gosh I DIDN'T KNOW - WHOOPS! I'll add one more fact in the next vlog

[@kaiansanttos867]

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

@@TiffanyPoonpianist LOL! Not a problem. I missed your Chinese name, which is more of a whoops, difficult to understand the sounds. But interesting that you have Chinese and English names! ❤ Clever decision.

[@pauzen5365]

Her name is 潘活活. Pronounced as Poon Would Would (without the d's) in Cantonese, and Pan Huo Huo in Mandarin Pinyin. 潘 is the surnamce, and the given name 活活 means "alive, alive". Indeed she is living up to her name given by her parents.

[@sunburn15]

Hi Tiffany, If non of ur parent are musician, where did u get then? Just curious coz i thought having talent in music is inherited.

I started violin in 5th grade too!! But wow 67 years? That's amazing!! I am 14 and I quit violin a few months ago and cuz I have been at it on and off ever since I started. I decided that violin isn't for me and got a piano a few days ago and I'm giving that a try. You are amazing for going at it for decades!!!

[@brianfitzgerald6142]

Tiffany, you're so gifted, yet so normal! I think you are thankful for your gifts. Most people can't play any musical instrument, yet you were a child prodigy. You have multilingual skills. Most people can speak only one. You are wiser than your years yet some people never mature. Best wishes for a brilliant career. Surely you will only get better.

[@oysteinsoreide4323]

I'm a computer programmer who started to play some piano a couple of years ago. I bought an acoustic upright piano last year. I'm from the city of Edvard Grieg. You really should take a trip. Bergen and Norway is a nice place to visit. I'm 45. So I'm a fairly late beginner in piano. I'm not taking any classes. But I watch KZbin videos to get me inspired.

[@maximus2874]

Just saw your comment. It always amazes me when i see People like you, who dont just get lazy in age, but always try what they want !:) But i would recommend you to get a Piano Teacher if you want to keep playing! For many classical pieces and generally as a beginner its super important to have a guide 😉

[@noponn8007]

Hey, I’m also a programmer/pianist! two totally different things, but i love them both.

[@RonnieD1970]

I started at 47! I purchased two 88key semi weighted digital pianos to practice on. P-115 and a C-135. (Yamaha and Casio). I am addicted!

[@LuxuFoo]

How's your piano progression going? Im just getting into piano at 28 myself.

[@oysteinsoreide4323]

@@LuxuFoo Progression is in no way fast. But for me it is the road that is the important thing. I have not very strict goals with my piano practise. And every person will have different progress dependent on dedication, and goals. But I try to get some piano playing in almost each day. But it varies much how much I play. I'm not forcing it. It has to be fun.

Fact #1 about me - I enjoy watching Tiffany's videos

[@51Dss]

I am a 68 year old man and I decided to learn to play and sing easy songs w/guitar so I could sing and play for my wife who has Alzheimers disease. I don't read music so I downloaded an image showing the finger positions for a dozen or so chords and now I know most of them pretty well. I can now do Country Roads, Summertime, Ghost Riders in The Sky, Amazing Grace, How Great thou Art. Plus sometimes I just sit w/guitar and improvise little melodies. My wife seems to like it sometimes though it's hard to know.

[@BingDwenDwen]

Good for you! Your wife is blessed to have you as a husband!

[@mug875]

[@genghisahmed4606]

Fact: I started playing self taught during the lock down at the age of 41. Your vids give me inspiration. Massive thank you 😎

[@stephensherwood3905]

I have an undergraduate degree in theology, and I'm currently pursuing a master's degree in TESOL. In another life I would have been a concert pianist! Concert pianists are truly inspirational!

[@dothework3428]

You don't have a degree in music? I use that as an excuse! (: But passion makes it all! I am a psychologist and I want to go as far as possible with playing the piano! With 8 years of musical school without ANY technique tought at that time, I try to find out how my playing will sound like in the years to come! You are the inspiration in finding that expression through music is not only for "the chosen ones" , but also for those chosing to approach it with passion and discipline! I am so blessed to learn from people like you! Thank you for sharing with us the music and your personal thoughts!

[@J3unG]

Having a degree from a formal institution means NOTHING if you are a musical performer. Moreover, there are many, many, many musicians, many of whom you've heard and admired who do not and cannot even read music much less play their instruments at virtuoso level. Then again there are many, many, many virtuosi who play who also cannot read music. You see, it's all about the soul and the center of an artist and having the gumption to expose their talent to the world. Tiffany has talent. She has touch. She has a spirit and connectedness to the music few performers have. She is authentic and THIS is what I think will make her outstanding. This and the sheer will to get past all the political and business bullshit of a professional artistic career. I wish her all the luck in the world and we should enjoy her artistry.

[@Cleigne143]

El Mission she may not have a degree of music on paper but she was on a pre-college program in Juilliard when she was a kid. Pretty sure that’s why she and her mom moved to new york

Fact # 1 - I love to watch all of your vlogs. I could hear you practicing for days. I studied music in Germany, and listening to musicians practicing makes me happy.

[@SpeakEverydayEnglish]

Having watched, and loved, several of your piano videos, I really enjoyed this vlog. I have subscribed, so I'll look forward to seeing more of you. I'm almost 70, and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I taught English in mainland China for 6 years until a year ago, and I have visited Hong Kong several times, and loved the wonderful harbour and the incredible busy-ness of the whole city. I have also visited New York City! I learnt piano for several years when I was a kid, but thanks to my short, stubby fingers I could never become the master pianist my mother had hoped I would. However, I used to play the piano to teach my primary school students various songs when I was a teacher in primary schools.

[@wilfreddamon1971]

Fun fact about me - I play the harp so sometimes, when I'm all alone in a room with a grand piano, I just open the lid, step on the sustain pedal and play the strings inside as I would play a harp :D also, I find your videos so cheerful and nice, they really help me motivate myself to practice more while keeping sane, especially now that I have a big harp competition coming up. Thank you!

I just recently came across your KZbin channel and instantly became a fan...maybe your oldest fan. I'm 84. Okay. Fact about me. The first piece I heard you play was Liebestraum on Wagner's piano and the beauty of your playing brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

My name is Echo Huang and I found your channel yesterday! I lived in Shenzhen for 8 years before coming to the US. I learned to speak Cantonese by watching Hong Kong TV using the antenna on the balcony (back in the 80s). I live in Minnesota with my daughter and a petite Goldendoodle. I didn’t have money to learn piano growing up in China until I took my first piano class when I went to college in the US and bought my first piano right after September 11, 2001. I have taken lessons on and off for 20 some years. I passed level 4 a few years ago but stopped playing when Covid started. I decided to restart on September 11 this year and chose to learn Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata First Movement. I have enjoyed your videos very much!

[@Kk-lb2vy]

Facts about me: 1. I used to diligently play piano (good 3 hours every day even during my high school and exam seasons) 2. I’ve been playing piano since I was 3 so it’s my 19th year this year (yeah crazy) 3. I’m very blessed to own 2 Steinway pianos (upright and grand. They are both wooden and it’s amazing both aesthetically and as an instrument) 4. Reading through you may think I play very well but unfortunately I’m not as good as you think or at least what I used to be (university and just not being motivated to get lessons anymore) but I am hoping to pick up again soon when things settle down. 5. My all time favourite is Bunin playing Chopin polonaise for the International Chopin Piano Competition. Although he was the youngest contestant in that group I think he’s performance is so amazing.

Watching you study music and philosophy at the same time (something I've always wanted to do but wasn't sure of) has given me the courage to decide to pursue something similar in college.

I've noticed that some of you have asked for her Chinese name and pronunciation. Her Chinese name is 潘活活. Pronounce it as Poon Would Would (without the d's) in Cantonese, and Pan Huo Huo in Mandarin (using Pinyin spelling). 潘 is the surname, and 活活 the given name. 活活 means "Alive Alive", and by extension cheerful, happy, lively, or cheerful and happy, or living happily. And indeed she is living up to her name given by her parents. She is an inspiration to all of us.

[@Just_Santi]

Fun fact; I first started playing the piano during my break when I worked as a janitor at my local college. I would watch people play on KZbin and then go practice what I saw when I got to work. Years later I enrolled at the same college and took piano classes.

[@manueljulian3085]

One fact... huh, I went to piano classes from age 6 to 7, but i sometimes practiced in my grandma's grand 1911 piano (it is not a grand piano, it is a vertical piano but that's the brand), and then i forgot about piano. Then at age of 11 to 13 i went to piano classes again and had 2 recitals, now i learned to read music sheet oficially, but not fast, i read music at my own time and i struggle a little bit so i need to write which note it is each one when learning a new sheet of music; then i was bored on having more classes so i kept practicing but without going classes, i have a digital piano now, it is a Williams Rhapsody 2 that my parents bought me at a guitar center store. I'm actually learning by myself my 5th piano song, i chose it, it's Waltz in C#minor Op64 No2 by Frederic Chopin, i find it a masterpiece, but i think i'm going to finally learn it one month later

Fact about me: I get kind of obsessed with things easily, until I reach a reasonable level at them.

Facts about me? Well, I live in the Seattle, Washington area. Many years ago they had a music festival here called "Mostly Mozart". It was every year for several years and each year they had concerts around the city with various professional groups performing. Well one year they had one venue where there was a piano and it was open to anyone to play. There were seats for anyone that wanted to sit and listen. So that year I went to the venue and played a Bach prelude on that piano. So I was one of the artists for that year's Mostly Mozart celebration.

They stressed the importance of building up good technique and made me feel comfortable which is so vital. I saw lots of young Chinese children coming for lessons some of whom were amazing. So, I have an Asian influence musically. I have played some recitals mostly for family and friends.

I'm enjoying your videos so much. Besides you're such an excellent pianist, you're still so normal and unpretentious.

[@matthewv789]

I have played in a concert in the Hong Kong concert hall (in Kowloon). Probably before you were born! (1995) (also Beijing, which was broadcast on national radio, Shanghai, and Guangzhou). And, on another tour with another orchestra, in the Sydney opera house. I have also worked in digital marketing/seo (as a web developer). Oh the concerts were playing double bass in an orchestra, but I also play piano. I don’t have a piano at home right now so I go to the library where they have a digital piano available to play. I am also teaching myself viola, and working on a website for another classical musician, and writing Wikipedia articles. I DO have a degree in music but have never worked as a musician or in a field related to music.

[@sebastianzaczek]

A fun fact about me? Hmm, Let me think... I got to playing the Piano in quite a similar way like you, my mother bought my sister a little pink 2 octave toy piano for her 1st (?) Birthday (i was around 6 then) and somehow i instantly loved it (more than my sister did), so after a while they got me a 61-Keys Keyboard, but very soon we upgraded to an 88-Key electric piano which i had for about 4-5 years. After that we finally decided to upgrade to an actual upright piano with a silent system and til today i love it. I'd love to have a Grand Piano, but that would be too expensive for us and we would barely have any space for one in our appartement... Also it would be great to have a Grand Piano simply because of the Sostenuto pedal... As a Hobby Composer i sometimes really would need that pedal, as for example i am currently composing a piece which is supposed to explore the sympathethic resonances of the low strings. Now i went a little bit off-topic, but Yeah, that's a fun fact about me... Greetings from Germany!😃

Thats so nice that you have been in Poland (I'm Polish)! I hope you enjoyed it!

[@blbl0003]

我都係香港來美的，媽咪帶我們姐弟來，老豆留在香港工作，在美已經二十多年了! 因為想找Bach French Suite No.5 Gigue給仔仔聽所以找到你的channel. 很有親切感!😊

[@mariafournogeraki2358]

Wow. How are you so perfect? You are so incredibly talented!!! I struggle doing piano, Spanish, Dutch, getting good grades in school, reading books.. You basically do all these things perfectly!!!

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

So far from perfect, so many things wrong 😂🙃❤️

[@mariafournogeraki2358]

Tiffany Poon yeah right😅 (I Cant believe you replied!!) I actually stumbled across your youtube channel a few weeks ago and I cant believe I didnt know you earlier! You're a piano goddess. A music role model❤ I used to absolutely adore Gilmore Girls too. Until the 2016 version was released. I was extremely dissapointed...

[@TheMikael8888]

I used to hate how classical music sounded through headphones on planes, so I went through a period where I would just read scores to hear the music in my head when flying. Also, although I grew up playing classical piano, I stopped after college. Watching your videos has gotten me interested (and playing) again, so thank you for that!

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Yay! Welcome back :)

[@jasoncavanaugh1556]

Wow I hope this doesn't sound rude but you're a lot more diverse in your endeavors than I originally thought. Like idk I guess I always thought most child prodigies and ex-child prodigies just pretty much only played piano and that was it. But you seem to enjoy a lot of different things and have a pretty broad range of experience outside of music.

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

I'm glad I changed your impression. That's why I started making vlogs.

[@brianafigueroa2648]

Hi Tiffany . I also play piano and have been for a couple years now but I can’t really master it . I do boxing and swimming . I’m 13 and u have inspired me in not giving up in hard piano pieces.

[@alihajmalek]

One fact about me: I'm Musician and studying master of Persian Classical Music at University of Tehran.

[@frankieflashback9465]

Fun fact......not sure how I ran across you but glad I did. Very smart,talented and attractive. Oh and funny!!! Thank you for coming to America wish you lived in Scottsdale Az.

I could give a personal fact or three here, but it seems pointless unless and until I start a YT channel of my own (i.e., actually start making & posting vids). But since you asked, let's see . . . Well, like you, I started into music (classical) at a young age, but unlike you, I've never considered becoming a professional (really don't think I have that much talent - I do have lots of fun & enjoyment, though). My main interests since childhood have been math, astronomy, and physics. Music is up there, too. Also, we probably couldn't be much more different in age - I'm almost certainly older than your parents. Maybe closer to your grandparents. And if anything, I enjoy life more each year. Despite my years, I still feel pretty young. Here's wishing you the same positive trend with age! (Tip: Finding a good physical exercise you will like doing for a lifetime, really helps a lot! You've already got the mental exercise part - music!) Fred

I am a music libarian since 1983 in the Public Library of Rotterdam , Netherlands with a large collection of sheet music, both popular, world and classic, and started to write about new forms of sheetmusic, when the tablet was introduced 11 years ago. Now I am writing an article about how Beethoven would be when he lived in this time. He was a great imprivisor and I don’t think he woulld publish his music as sheet music, about the role of sheet music then and now. I play both classical and jazz piano , am 64 years old, love to photogragh and are spending now more time practicing and improve my technique and interpretation, chopin phantasy impromptu, beethoven pathetique, 3th part, scarlatti, debussy, bach. Recently discovered your channel and your thoughts, sometime struggle (Tilburg) playing concerts, piano. Next week I was intended tot play in a , in Holland they call a hospice, a house where people , that are ill and will not refover, can spend their last weeks before dying. I was intended to play during a memorial for family, friends of the people that died last half year. Because of the corona virus it will not take place. I wanted to play Goldberg aria, short pieces of Grieg, Satie, Scarlatti, my own interoretation of Send in the Clowns. Another time. Love your pace of music. Heard You playing Claire de lune in one of your KZbin video’s, not to fast with full of teh kind of expression I like. Thank’s for sharing this. At home now I am helping people tot download, borrow ebooks from the library and making a video for elderly people how to deal with the digital government, what normaly takes place in the Library.

[@jacobsmusic4186]

My fact: you're my favourite youtuber ;)

[@TiffanyPoonpianist]

Awww 😍 Thank you!!

[@timffkl]

Some facts about me: 1. I always seem to catch these videos at such a late point where it feels weird to comment and if I were to comment it would be lost to oblivion. 2. When I was learning piano when I was young I didnt like trying to read the sheet music, and I would always try to play by ear. 3. Because of number two I ended up quitting piano and wish now that I would have continued 4. I play saxophone pretty well but its sad not being able to play all the songs I want to with the limited range

[@cillianblue]

This was fun! I play cello and love dragonfly’s 😎

[@franciscowalker5104]
