Burgmuller No.5 "Innocence": Expressive Scale Passages, Legato Chords, Off-Set Phrasing

[@marthamclaughlin4719]

If you're thinking of taking online lessons with Akira do it! He is a wonderful teacher! Humorous, motivating, encouraging, understanding, and just the right amount of prodding. Best teacher ever!!!!

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Thank you very much, Martha!! It is very fun to teach you, too. You are highly motivated, hard working, and showing improvement in every lesson!

[@ytaloprado7122]

I really want

[@PauletteBelshe]

Working on Innocence now. I was just recently introduced to Burmuller’s 25 easy pieces. Thank you for your informative tutorial. I will check out all of your other tutorials. 👏🎶🎹

[@adlinal]

i love burgmuller, hope this series continues!

[@kaiheaton4858]

Hey I still hope you continue this series, I was given this book by a teacher and it’s been so useful to hone in on specific skills.

[@CraigMoffattPiano]

Just finishing off this piece at the minute. Really informative, and you doubled down on some of the points my teacher has made. Love how you break things down section by section. Hopefully one day I'll be able to communicate my skills and information as clearly as this. Once I've done my exams I want to get into teaching. Keep up the good work!! 👊🏻🎹

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Thank you, and good luck!

Your tutorials on Burgmuller are very helpful. I am already looking forward to a tutorial on Burgmuller's "Ballade" (nr. 15). Thank you so much for your time and effort!

[@TheOcndance]

I have been following the five tutorials on Burgmuller and learned something new from each of them. They are wonderful; thank you very much ! Hope to see more tutorials on Bergmuller soon!

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Glad you are enjoying them!

[@guyincognito9698]

Best piano tutorials on KZbin!

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Thank you!

[@anthognome]

Thank you for these lessons, Bob. Please continue with them if at all possible--these are such great pieces to learn better phrasing and to serve as a launching pad for more difficult music (Schumann, Chopin, or even Burgmuller's op. 105/109). Liked and subscribed.

[@joehowden-osborne8255]

I'm working my way through Burgmuller and these tutorials are phenomenal, thank you so much!

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Glad you like them!

[@davidtolabin5316]

Just keeps getting better!

[@JeanJacqueG]

Thank you Sir

[@elhpasu]

These are great! We hope you continue with the lessons. My chil is starting lesson three from this book with you

[@melhartsings]

Hi, I know these video take a lot of work for not a lot of views, but they are so so helpful and I would love to see the series continue!!! I bet you'll get more views for number 7 which is more popular and quite confusing, I find....

[@akiblue]

Why did you stop the series? They are very helpful!

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Thank you. I didn't stop it, but it wasn't getting as many views, so it hasn't been my biggest priority right now. But I would like t continue some day.

[@akiblue]

@@AkiraIkegamiChannel thank you Akira, you are one tireless teacher!!

[@MicheleDeConinck-ym1hf]

Bedankt

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Thank you for your generosity. Happy new year!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci. I've been trying to follow two progressive studies to try and improve my keyboard skills, Czerny Op. 599, and Burgmüller Op 100. I've reached about exercise 35 in Czerny, using bass notes and just starting to use sharps and flats. I'm playing the notes correctly, but it sure doesn't sound musical. I think I'll use Czerny to practice my sightreading and Burgmüller to practice my musicality.

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

That's basically how I use those books, but if you can be musical and have fun with Czerny, you've really mastered the art of piano (it's actually possible).

[@CaptainCaveman782]

great videos! You really should continue with the series. There is no one on KZbin covering the full series . Other tutorials just play the pieces without commentary which is pointless as the books come with a QR code to listen to a sample performance

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Thank you! I'm glad you find it useful. I didn't know about the QR code. What edition is that?

[@worrellrobinson4332]

Great Tutorial and the name you should use is Mike for MUSIC INTEGRITY KINGDOM ENERGY

[@BeachedWhaleFTW]

Jeff!

[@SuperFS11]

Leonard!

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Do I see "nerd" in it?

[@winninggoodman4594]

Yeay

[@Zucifer8]

Do you teach adult beginners? I'm thinking of signing up...

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

Yes, I do. I recommend making a 45 minute to an hour consultation appointment first to discuss your setup, books to use, etc. I'm looking forward to it!

[@TeresaCanneti]

Bueno a lo mejor me acerco y te doy el jersey y nos vemos un ratillo. Dime a que hora te viene bien 😘

[@shthfk]

maybe your name could be Piano Mr. Bob🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@welshwizard55]

Seems like a good book as everyone should have it, I do and I'm 69

[@jorgemerigo5324]

No, maybe not use your last name just AKIRA

[@Camicamisinho]

i'm sad this video hasn't got more views, i'm really glad for your tutorials 🥲😄

[@AkiraIkegamiChannel]

I guess it's very difficult to attract people with these topics. Maybe I should just make cooking videos :)
