I used to confuse muscle memory with memorization. They are different. Muscle memory will always seem to let you down in recital when your nervous and your hands get a little shaky.

[@StevenMassicotte]

That is true, although it can still be useful.

Thanks for sharing those thoughts on memorization....memorize as you go. Consider another follow-up segment on this topic for the future.

[@StevenMassicotte]

Definitely will!

What was the piece that you were playing near the beginning of this video when you were demonstrating playing from memory?

[@StevenMassicotte]

That was part of Rachmaninov Sonata no. 2

Hi Stephen - you should try Schubert's 4th Impromptu in A flat major - a miracle of joy to memorize and play!

Hey Steven, when is your next masterclass session? I signed up yesterday but still wondering..

Hi Anna, I received your form as well as several others. The next class will most likely be on a Sunday at 12pm ET, probably on the 20th of February, I will announce very soon.

Do you teach virtual private lessons? If so what’s a good contact?

[@StevenMassicotte]

Yes I do teach students online. You can always reach me through the contact forms on my website which is listed in the description. (Was that your question?)

Good morning. Grow your big beard back. 😁

[@UUpianoman]

Exactly! Always good to focus on what's really important!

[@StevenMassicotte]

Give me some slack I just cut it!

[@TijuanaBorderJumper]

@@StevenMassicotte I didn't realize you just cut it. 🤔🙄😆😉
