Hi. I need small clarification..can you help ? I am from India

[@sowomthing]

playing moonlight sonata in front of old people part 2?

[@MichaelNgPiano]

I think the one where I played last time is now closed :( - but stay tuned for a moonlight sonata upload soon :)

[@elainsfernando7564]

Yeah he has all grown up now

[@newhavenproject1]

I know this is completely unrelated to your video, but I have to say you look genuinely happy with your life. Your energy is magnetic. I noticed that you didn’t put headphones in when you did your work, and it made me think about your phone usage habits. Could you tell me about your phone habits and do you listen to music (probably a silly question)? Side note, I found your channel because I am learning Moonlight Sonata and found that 2010 video😂 have subbed!

[@nordwand4519]

Man you seem to be happy with your life! So good to see, you made me smile!

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Thanks so much! My best wishes to you too!

Beautiful life experience for you all folks. Enjoy, and that stamps into the heart all life long.

[@arifulislamleeton]

Thank you

[@walaba7038]

Wow cambridge. That's awesome!! Also, you should do more of these and more piano!!

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Thank you so much! Coming soon - was out due to injury!

[@dhruvkothari7855]

I love the fact that you're always smiling

[@mkuo6467]

Just a friendly tip: try to not have your back arched in or out and have the hips leveled with you shoulders when doing planks. This way you prevent some back issues and work more on the core. Also, since I'm from Brazil I feel the need to share a couple Brazilian pieces with you.... So, here you go: -Brejeiro, Odeon and most pieces from Ernesto de Nazareth -Sururu na cidade, and any piece from vila lobos.(rudepoema is quite something) I wanted to share those with you just hoping that you might enjoy them. And who knows if you end up recording some Brazilian piece in this channel, though not complaining on the anime pieces!

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Thanks for putting in the time to write this! Much appreciated :) both planking advice and Brazilian pieces, will have a look!

[@Chimaru789]

it's awesome to see you back making videos after so long! you've made the video just over 10 minutes for ad revenue and called it math instead of maths for the clickbait... you really have become an expert youtuber and i'm so proud 🙏 can't wait for more!

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Heyy! Yes I was injured for over a year, it was a tough time - and now I'm back and with more energy :) so glad you enjoyed it, it means a lot! Hope you've been doing well! :)

[@alberteinstein965]

Do we get a financial aid or a scholarship in Trinity. plz make a video on how u got into Trinity and what made u interested in mathematics

[@decdedceeded]

:OOOOO awesome! hope to see more piano from you, you never fail to impress! Is that request list of yours from however long ago still in effect?

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Yaaaaay thank you!! Was out due to injury, but hopefully gradually back now - we will see about the request list 😎

[@sophiexia9719]

Hope you make a video of Q&A and here is a question: Why studying Math and how do you balance math study and music practice in your daily routine? Thanks!;)

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Hey! Thanks for the question! Q&A sounds like a great idea :) More about math in future videos (when I get time) - and about practice, I don't actually practise that much! In fact, all throughout I'd say I'd average an hour a day. These days I practise about every other day, sometimes even less frequently. So that helps with time management - also to be covered if I get to it. Hope that helps!

[@malignusvonbottershnike563]

3 years late, but the x^2 + 2 = y^3 problem is still on GRM problem sheets, I've just finished first year and been looking at the course over the summer and I was very excited to see something I knew how to do in your video lol. Plus it looks like you take loads of the courses I'm interested in for 3rd year, like quantum mechanics, number fields, machine learning, so it's good to have a role model haha, it looks like you had a really good time in your 3rd year :-)

[@MichaelNgPiano]

Aha! Good to hear. Yes I had a brillant time at Cambridge, very fond memories. Best of luck for your studies!

[@宻]

Yo what did u get In STEP? Im considering applying next year , could I ask a few question

[@malignusvonbottershnike563]

@@宻 Me or the guy who posted the original video? In any case, I got two very borderline S grades (I think one of them literally was on the boundary lol), but I think if you can get 1,1 consistently in practice tests that is more than enough, and lots of people get accepted with 1,2. I can answer questions you might have if you’re interested though 👍

[@宻]

@@malignusvonbottershnike563 you, any tips to excelling in step , and is there any point starting prep yet when my skl hasn’t even started further maths content yet, we learn all of as and a level maths first and start fm in Easter. Congrats on amazing grades

[@malignusvonbottershnike563]

@@宻 from my experience, the hardest part of STEP was getting used to the style of questions, so even though STEP 1 isn’t its own paper anymore, you might enjoy working through the materials from the STEP support programme (it’s on the maths faculty website somewhere), and trying some STEP 1 questions, as that doesn’t include any further maths content so some of them will be doable for you. If you think it’s too early though, no pressure, you’ve got a lot of time and if you want to focus on 6th form stuff then that’s also a sensible decision. And of course, you might change your mind about wanting to apply for maths over the next few months (I remember flipping between engineering, computer science, physics, everything lol), so if you want to wait until you’re 100% set on a maths degree that also makes sense

How do you balance your life with Piano and math? Do you have double major?

[@milka8934]

Not only talented but also smart. And we are the same age.. What did I do wrong? I spend 8 years of my life in music school - never played as good as you did when you were just 10. I spend 4 years of my life studying - weren't even able to go to medical school. I'm literally stupid AND talentless...

what is it about Japanese people or Chinese people not using a table to sit at to eat? I heard they never wear shoes indoors perfect im not Japanese or Chinese im 39 yr old and I detest wearing socks and shoes why? because I love the ground underneath my feet on the feel of the soul of my feet, why? I haven't a Rudy clue why lol, I have been like that my whole life, id love to be able to hold chopsticks myself I have a tremor that runs through my whole nervous system, I can nearly hold a spoonful in my hand let alone chopsticks, I love the Chinese or Japanese people there kids a so damn adorable and when there young they looks so attractive with beautiful smile and I love Shanghai noodles the best type of noodle you can ever get is the original, I love Chinese cuisine, im not sure about Japanese quisine I think its the same thing they have such beutifull smile just like them in this video.
