[@frankbasil3693]

Beautiful and smooth!

I love you forever

[@SebTheMusician]

Excellent!

[@flyurway]

As always, very nice Christina! How the H you (or anyone else for that matter!) play a piece all the way through without making a single mistake is beyond me. Y'all drive me nuts. Y'all ain't human I tell ya'!

[@ChristinaPepper]

Hehe, I don't know about zero mistakes... but hey, if people want to think I'm some sort of magical fey creature that's fine with me 😄

[@mikenike038]

And the tempo is so steady as well

[@Morbutt]

Sounds great! Watching your videos is great for discovering new music for me! :)

[@ChristinaPepper]

I love that, thank you! I try to do a healthy mix of classic pieces and more obscure ones.

Beautiful and perfect pianist. Wanderfull womann blessede by God. I Love you forever ❤

[@raymondbiller2257]

Very nice. Question, how many times do you have to practice a number like this before you record it?

[@flyurway]

I'm curious myself! I think about that quite a bit as I struggle with everything I learn, lol!

[@ChristinaPepper]

Thank you! It varies - I'm usually working on 5-6 new pieces at a time. Something like this I might spend 15-20 minutes working on most days, and then record it after a few weeks, once it feels pretty solid in my fingers and I feel happy with my choice of tempo etc. Longer, more difficult pieces of course take more time, and the ones that I want to keep in my repertoire I will keep working on and often will record them again later after several months.

@flyurway The thing that made the biggest difference in learning music fast for me was accompanying - I had to improve at sight-reading to play things on the fly, and quickly learning 4-6 pieces for each student I worked with. It was lot of cramming music into my short-term memory, but it worked!

[@raymondbiller2257]

Thank you.

[@frankbasil3693]

How about Atlanta Rag (Trilby Rag)?

[@ChristinaPepper]

Ooo, I don't know that one, but it would pair very nicely with this, indeed! Do you have a favorite recording you recommend?
