go for it! glad you're here, good group of folks here, great resource to tap into, the forum's happy to help so long as you come across as sincere, don't be too much of arse (we all have assy moments but so long as you try and help where you can, it's easy to help back).and yeah chase after what you're passionate about, consider 'putting up' with classical as a means to end (i.e. it'll help your other playing), who knows it might end up growing on you as you get older.i actually liked the lollipop, you managed to turn something pretty annoying into at least something interesting to watch and hear (i don't think it would work as audio only but seeing you play it's apparent you are into it, that's 60% of the sale right there, your playing closes the deal).).now i'll go dance.

Week 3Put up another video, "Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo.Had a solid week of practicing, really focused well, worked a lot on my "Prelude in C sharp minor." I'm actually really digging this piece. I was thinking of learning his "Prelude in G minor" over the summer, I youtubed it and it sounds pretty sick, it's gonna be challenging for sure though.And I finally hit my 15 hours goal, so pretty content about that. Noticed I focus a lotttt better when I use a metronome. I think I'm just going to use one from now on all the time.MondayPractice Time: 185 MinutesTuesdayPractice Time: 205 MinutesWednesdayPractice Time: 125 MinutesThursdayPractice Time: 165 MinutesFridayPractice Time: 125 MinutesSaturdayPractice Time: 105 MinutesSundayPractice Time: 100 MinutesTotal Practice Time: 16 Hours, 50 minutes Practice Time/Day: 2 hours, 24 minutes per dayYoutube Views:Lollipop: 301Can You Feel the Love Tonight: 251Down: 208Whatcha Say: 72Total: 832-Keystroke
In what field? I used to want to be an astrophysicist.
Weeks 25 and 26... Got a new Schumann piece and an etude.I really like the concept of etudes, I didn't know there were pieces out there specifically designed to work on a specific technical skill. If I can learn 10 or so over the course of a year ...
looks good. keep at it. any recordings from the recital? what did you perform? other details?also in case you weren't aware of her channel, sunny choi has done a really nice job of working the 'pop' piano market, her yt videos get a TON of view, she has very nice video quality, i.e hd, dresses the part, good audio, solid camera work, etc. you might want to check it out for inspiration and other tips. heck she might be super nice if you pm her and start a dialogue with her on how she has done it and what' she does that works and doesn't, etc. super important to get feedback from someone out there actually doing what yo ulike and would like to do.eature=watchnow granted it's pretty chick so she'll get tons of view from dudes on that alone, but don't underestimate the power of teen girls going crazy for something, heck they're probablyt he best 'repeat' customers on the planet (just look at how much movies like twighlight and the hunger grames and such made on 'repeat views' along on them?)this is cool eminem medley of hers
looking at it now 10 etudes might be a stretch, but I think I should be able to get 4 or 5 in. I just finished memorizing the Chopin one,
