A lady with a magnetic personality. We love the Sangah Noona we have grown to love on live streams. Excellent explanations & stories. Who wouldn’t like Sangah? 😉. Watched this video a couple of times a few months ago. You are amazing! Thanks, Sangah.

[@battle-techs]

You're an amazing woman.

[@SangahNoona]

Awwwwwe.... you are so sweet Bryant! ❤👍😉

[@battle-techs]

You are too kind Sangah. I viewed your "II- V- I video earlier today. I Practiced the drills a bit as I am teaching myself to play piano through a lesson book, and KZbin videos. So, I am glad to have found your channel. I still do not have all of the major and minor chords etched into memory yet. But, I am diligent, and will stay determined. No plans on becoming a performing artist tho. I will tune in to your channel again. Thank You very much for taking the time to make the 2-5-1 video. PS: Your voice on The girl (guy) from Impanema is very beautiful and soulful. One of my favorite tunes, and you've made it you own.

[@SangahNoona]

@@battle-techs Happy to hear that Bryant! I recommend you to master major/minor scales first. You will be free after you really MASTER it. Not just able to play them. MASTER IT. You will be able to play more songs in more possibilities without focusing figuring out the chords/scales. ❤😉👍

[@TheOfficialXedus]

Thanks for the story. I have played piano my whole life, and I have been thinking hard about performing and making some money with it. This video has some great content for somebody like me, and I feel like there aren't many people out there that have insight on this topic. Big thanks and keep killing it!

[@weli2654]

You are amazing Sangah, don't stop to inspired people. You are so kind to share your experience. Anyway, I love to see how you play, that's why a lot of people also loves you.

[@jfernandes1002]

I really like the way you play, the versatility, spontaneity, improvisation and the informal way you communicate. I like your dog to. I'm a dog lover, I have two dogs that I took off the streets. Congratulations from Portugal

[@zesilva4977]

You are amazing Sangah! I love the way you "feel" the song!!! And how you have fun while playing. thank you for being so!

[@RaymondYocum-uw5hd]

neti neti and you win the smart ass award

[@encapsulatio]

At least my award involves two of my favorite things, a nice ass and being smart.Anyways mate.i find it so cringy to hear a type of comment like you made when all youtubers for more than a decade have been saying it.I'm sure I'll share it without having anyone suggest me to do it.If the content is good enough anyone is going to share it without being told to do it.

[@wsww5523]

Sangah, I started watching your videos, and it feels like “once you watch, you can’t stop”. You’re an inspiration. I wish I could play as perfect as you. So next time I visit Washington D.C., I gotta ask you where you play so I can come see your performance in person. You’re the first person that convinces me to write a comment on KZbin.

[@wangmyan1]

[@Hawkeyejwb]

I have been a pilot for 50 years. I love your piano playing. I’m glad you are a pianist. Keep playing and posting.

[@thanhphamguitarlessons]

I love story, Sangha. I liked how you outlined your story from Seoul to the US. Also, the story of TX where it questioned your future in music resonates with me. It is uplifting. Congratulations for not giving up on music. I would like to hear some of the struggles and how you overcame them. I think a lot of musicians would appreciate that. Thanks again.

Sangah, I just finished watching you Lounge Pianist story and what an amazing and humble beginning for a highschool student that was con (uncourage) by her father to jump in and play. Your dad was your first Network... This video has many suggestions for artist of different instruments, styles and that includes art forms. If I was still teaching this video would be show in my highschool classes.

[@takkmoran2489]

Fascinating video Sangah, so glad you did this. Really looking forward to the next installment. I say again - you are an absolute natural in front of the camera!!

It sounds like a cool job to work as a lounge pianist. I'm just an intermediate piano player but dream to work in a hotel lounge playing the piano even if i were half as good as you. You are amazing to watch. I play blues, jazz, and some classical guitar but would love to advance on the piano. Also love watching your videos. Thanks.

You are such a nice talking person. You have the gift to induce people feelling good. As a pianist well I could live for a thousand years to catch you, for sure. But you know, to suceed in music career we do not need all that skills, do we ? I remember those brasilian young DJs who claim earn fortunes making dance live shows for teens. Keep going that way. It's your way and it's good indeed. Thank you miss Sangah.

You got more work because you are talented cute as a button with a fantastic personality. I used to design hotel interiors and traveled to quite a few. Hardly ever saw talent and incredible personality like yours. I posted your "fly me to the moon" video and said. "Diana Krall look over your shoulder!"

[@smalls120778]

I watched a couple of your videos playing Beatle tunes and subscribed immediately afterward. This particular video was impressive and as a writer even though I do not play an instrument I found great inspiration in your style, personality, and approach to the craft that you love. Next time I feel a writer’s block beginning I will watch this video to help me remember why I write in the first place. Thank you Sangah…cheers…😉

[@gratefulted1232]

Thanks for the wonderful music and your story!! Its so nice to see such a talent who obviously enjoys at her craft. My father and I both love music and you have been such a joy for us to listen to and watch. My dad is about to celebrate his 92nd birthday and still plays piano a few hours a day as he has done since me and my siblings were little. My Dad is a retired a tradesmen who always worked to support his family but I have heard him say many times that if he had was able to pick his dream job,it wouldn't be a Doctor or professional athlete, it would be as a lounge pianist. I wish you all the success in your continued pursuits!!!. p.s. One of my dads favorite songs is Skylark by Hoagy Carmichael, he plays it but always complains that he cant do it justice. If you ver had occasion to play it, we would love to hear. thanks again

[@LisaRSArt]

Love this video! It’s so exuberant and your explanation is so truthful and genuine. So fun to watch! Yippie. So glad I discovered your lovely channel. It’s March! Happy Birthday month! You’re Omazing!!! 👍🏼👊🏼❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏🎂🎉💐

I appreciate hearing about your history but was hoping to hear about how you learned the craft, especially from a technical aspect. Lounge piano seems to be a specialty that not many people are good at.

You may not want to call it a How-To-Do video, but, many people should watch this because it has a wealth of important information to succeed in life. Oh, yes, your music is excellent! Come to Okinawa, Japan and play in our clubs, it would be a salary cut. However, Seoul is just an hour away.

You're an awesome woman. I don't know why I relate on you whenever I watch your videos. Now telling the story of your music career made sense to me. we both somewhat have the same story. Been a lounge musician since 2004 (tho as a flutist) and been travelling to asia till 2010 then decided to go back home and still playing in hotels here in The Phil. Still working on my Grad studies now while also teaching piano and flute at the same time. You're right about Networking, it's very important for us musician to have connection. Keep making music and keep on inspiring fellow musicians. You have great personality =)

You are so fabulous, Sangah. I love listening to you, and, I love your piano playing, of course. Your very animated while playing, which shows your sweet character. Fascinating stories, very concisely, wonderfully expressed to explain how you made it big time. I'm very happy for you. Yes, you are lovely, charming, engaging, whimsical, quirky fun, all great traits, and you made it. Your emotional intelligence had kept you going through the tough times, with a likely very fine, supportive family background, and your determination has been there. Safe flying. Do you fly your own plane from one job to another? I love listening to many of your musical videos, with your very nice piano styling. Take care. xo ;) You're amazing!
