Hi! Great channel, just found it. One little detail - the link above to your website is correct, the one in the description is not, it's missing the third "s" - just thought I'd let you know in case you haven't noticed it already :-)

Merci beaucoup for this. Your advice is duly noted. I really appreciated that you mentioned Dr. Vincent Craig, since you had a great teacher. Who were his teachers? What I like about the piano is the teaching lineage. JS Bach taught CPE Bach, and I learned keyboard exercises from his manuscripts. Beethoven taught Czerny. I watched the video that you did after he had died, and felt that was one of the most heartfelt remembrances you could have done. I feel that I have inherited the teachings of Dr. Craig since you have helped me a lot.

I remember he told us one time that one of his teachers (don't remember which one) was taught by a student of Johannes Brahms. So, we are all descendants of Brahms when it comes to learning piano. There is still some info on Vincent's start here: www.wcupa.edu/music/keyboardVocalFaculty/vCraig.aspx

We learned from the time we were 4 years old so who knows what bad habits I have. Lol! We learned the fingering as a kid and it made playing the piece easier than if we didn’t do the fingering correctly. I have that book on scales! lol! My lessons were only on Saturday’s for 6 years straight (I had lessons for 8-10 years). Now, I am practicing a piece bit by bit for smaller practice sessions. I may take lessons again to focus on chord work. Right now, I am teaching myself, ‘I Can Only Imagine.’ My objective right now is sight reading since I have not touched the piano in 20-25 years and I picked it up again last summer. It’s like riding a bike (lol) and it came back to me. I love that Mozart Sonata. I didn’t know it was covered in my Sonatina book. I started playing that Sonata again. I didn’t realize I had played it. I am not sure if it was for a lesson or I played it for fun as a teen. I have those Hanon and Czerny exercises. As a kid, we didn’t have recording on the piano (lol) nor could we record unless we had a cassette tape. I discovered a recording feature on my electric piano, so I am recording myself on that and on the phone. Metronome was my nemesis as a kid. Lol! My piano has one. My piano teacher wrote 1, 2, 3 + on Clementi’s Sonatina in C b/c I played it for fun and played it too fast so she finally assigned it as HW. My mom hated me playing that piece b/c I would not play it correctly. Lol!

So much excellent information… Please list the Czerny book or books that you mentioned. Thank you

Sure thing! Hanon: www.hanon-online.com/ Czerny: pianoexercises.org/exercises/czerny/ The link for the Czerny exercises is weird, you might have to copy and paste it into your browser instead of clicking for it to work.

Thanks Tim. A lot of useful information and advice. Now i need to implement them... How do you hold your computer on top of your piano?

@LessonsOnTheWeb 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! the back of the laptop is on the computer stand and the front rests on top of the keyboard.

My playing posture looks like I'm doing an exaggerated impression of Bill Evans (and Schroder from Peanuts)....but it worked for him, and it works for me.

TIM, PLS ANSWER AND HELP ME!! So, i am a self-taught pianist, i know how to read sheet, but i wanna improve my skills. I have 1 hour per day to study piano. Methods books seen to easy for me, but i dont wanna skip things. So , in my routine, do you think that i can use the Sheets from Adults adventures 1 to practice sight read, and my repertory be the sheet musics on the Adults adventures 2 (Faber) ? I dont know how can i have a progressive repertoire, i should use Magdalenas Bach first or should use Adults adventures 2 sheets? Thank you, i am having some difficulties to organize my routine, i've saw a lot of your videos. I think that 1 hour is to short to do alot of things, so, when i finish making my routine schedule, can i send here for you to see? Another thing, should instead of studying 1 hour straight, divide my time in 4 parts, and study 15 mins, then a mini pause, just to go to bathroom and drink a water?

It is good advice for student pianist like me but it seems that this is only for classical pianist. Why ignoring ear training is not mentioned? It is important as sight reading and enjoyable skill to learn Does playing piano is about playing songs in the sheet music? Does playing piano is only for classical music where the music is in the sheet music? Why don't talk about ear training and pop songs?

@LessonsOnTheWeb 6 ай бұрын

Good point, just an oversight on my part. I'll make sure to cover ear training with videos in the future.

When KZbinrs use distracting cutaways in an attempt to be funny, it often involves inserting quick, exaggerated, or offbeat clips or images that are meant to inject humor into their content. While the intention is to entertain and engage the audience, these cutaways can sometimes diminish the overall presentation in the following ways: Disruption of Flow: Frequent or poorly timed cutaways can disrupt the natural flow of the content. Instead of smoothly progressing through the topic, the viewer is jolted out of the main narrative, which can lead to a fragmented viewing experience. Overwhelming Visuals: Excessive or overly flashy cutaways can overwhelm the viewer. If the visuals are too distracting or chaotic, they can detract from the main message or point being made, making it harder for viewers to focus on the content. Dilution of Humor: If the cutaways are not well-executed or relevant, the humor can come across as forced or awkward. This can lead to a situation where the comedic elements feel out of place or do not align with the tone of the video, reducing their effectiveness. Reduced Professionalism: Constant or poorly integrated cutaways can make the video appear less polished and professional. Viewers may perceive the content as less serious or less credible, particularly if the cutaways do not serve a clear purpose related to the main content. Viewer Fatigue: Repeated, distracting cutaways can lead to viewer fatigue, where the audience becomes annoyed or bored by the constant interruptions. This can diminish the overall enjoyment and engagement with the video. Overall, while cutaways can be a useful tool for adding humor and visual interest, they need to be used judiciously. Effective cutaways should enhance the content without overshadowing or disrupting the main message. Balancing humor with a clear and coherent presentation is key to maintaining a high-quality viewer experience. BOTTOM LINE: Your cutaways hurt your otherwise decent video. Consider omitting them in your future videos.
