Hello Everybody!

This is my first harder piece what I have learned. I'm interested in your opinion and criticism.

I have been playing piano for 9 months now.

I will learn the entire medley soon, and I will improve my skills to play this piece better and better.

Now there are some mistakes in my performance, because I learned it recently.



I updated the video, this is my second record.

UPDATE - I recorded it again today, so the video is updated.   ;)

It's a little better than before, but there are some mistakes in it too.

I'm too beginner to play this clearly   ;D

I've only been learning for 3 months, and I'm impressed :) I'd be pretty joyous if I could play like that in the next 6 months..

Thank you!

All is depend on how many hours do you playing a day, who is your teacher, what books do you read, how old are you, and first of all how talented are you  :)

I like Kyle Landry's opinion: "If you choose pieces you would LOVE to learn that are out of your reach, and you give it your all, I promise it will give back more than practicing boring scales."

At the moment I follow my teacher's method to learn piano playing, but before I started to learn in the conservatoire, I learned lots of thing myself.

How many hours do you play a day?

I'm probably taking a relatively casual approach to it - work, photography and gaming also take a lot of my time.

three months on, and this is where I am at (not perfected performance, just a milestone record)


I do like to work out how it all works, but hand independence will be a hurdle :D

In the past 6 months I could play 5-6 hours a day after work and 12 hours in weekends :) I spent all my free time to play on piano. Now I have time to play only in the conservatorie. I would like to learn it correctly, so I focus on what my teacher teach me but I learn some hard piece too alone.
In this week my teacher showed me the correct hand position for example. In this pirate video, my hands were in a very bad position ;D

not bad keep up the good work.  I think it's good to keep continuing to push your limits and try to play pieces that most people might find to be way too early for you to play.  keep practicing and pushing yourself and you will blow people away with how fast you progress!

Nice job. Try woking on your pedalling, aswell as dynamics. I don't know if it's because of the digital piano, but it all sounds to be at the same volume.

Thanks.
No, it's not about the digital piano. It's a very ralistic model, the new Yamaha CLP 565 GP.
The dynamics was bad . I must learn the pedal using well in this song. :D

Hello all!

I updated the video, this is my second record. I think it's far better than my first try  ;D

There are lots of mistake in it I think, but it will be good in 2-3 months.

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.
