Hello fellow pianists!

I'm new to the pianostreet forums, and I randomly stumbled upon this forum by random browsing. I registered for an account on this forum hoping that I could get advice from some other pianists of a higher level than me!

A bit about myself:
I am a Malaysian piano student who has studied piano for 8 years. I have had a history of changing music teachers due to one reason or the other, and this style of following recommendations brought me to a piano teacher who is famous in our country for being aurally -impaired. Due to this, he inspired me to 'listen carefully to every note', because if he could do it, surely a person with normal hearing should be able to do this effortlessly! It is not until very recently that I really started to step up my game and put more effort into practicing.


Two of my inspirations are the Youtube pianists Animenz and Theishter. The (crazy!) transcriptions of Animenz inspire me to boost my technique to be able to play them, while Theishter inspires me because his skill level was attributed to self study.


What am I playing now?
Currently, I am finishing off Beethoven's 32 Variations in C minor. I feel that it is quite a fun piece, and the fact that each variation is a tiny etude makes it a good warm-up too. That's why I put my status as a 'beginner to intermediate piano student'.

Challenges?
Well, my hands are tiny, and they are only JUST enough to be able to do 1-5 to 1-4 octave passages. But I feel that I have done a decent job in attempting to overcome my physical challenges, and now I need to break my mental barriers.




So, that's kind of it about me. I hope that I can make some ties with other pianists across the world!
