I can’t wait to get my first piano. These videos are inspiring. Thank you Ashley :-)

You’re welcome!

You make the best points. I should have thought of counting out loud by myself haha. So obvious and makes sense. Thank you again for a wonderful video

Again, thank you!

Uhh, I watched this video, but realized that I am already doing it. I've watched too many of your videos and listened to your advice, and have incorporated it in my practice. I was in a rut recently, some of it due to a health problem that prevents me from playing as I would like. I had gone back to one of my method books, La Méthode Rose (bilingual French/British) and it helped for my sightreading. But even my teacher says it's not a book for children nor beginners. So today I re-opened my John Thompson book (in French) and started doing that from the beginning. And I was trying to be musical, and it was working finally. Especially as I counted out loud. Merci for your advice. They showed your method to drop into the keys, they say it's phrasé in French.

This is awesome!!!

I would have liked to see you show us an example of this counting because I speak French and I'm not sure I understand how to do that

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

Good call! I have several other videos where I show how to count out loud - check out the rhythm playlist on my channel!

One of my teachers insisted on this and I didn't always follow his advice. One time he said I guess I didn't need to. Students are often reticent in doing so. Perhaps Mr. Powell who studied with Marguerite Long had this pedagogy while he studied in Paris back in 1916.

My latest project is to take some pieces I had learned in the past (Mozart, Debussy, Brahms, Bach, etc.) and commit them to memory. Will counting out loud help me with pieces I already know and can play up to speed?

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

Absolutely

It's inspiring to watch you... yes you Ashlee learn right along with us. "If you remember Muzio Clementi is considered the"Father of the Piano" not Mozart, though we know that the latter was a genius!! Overtime though many would say Clementi had the more"successful" career(He was considered the first 🎹 salesman) even though they were rivals!! Hopefully you're"picking up what I'm putting down" or if not I've lost you!!! Anyway great job!!! # I know Salieri was his "chief" rival but not his only one!!!👏👏👏👌👍👍🤘
