      That's a great question! Martha Mier and Catherine Rollin both write a lot of great things in a neo-Romantic style so I'd look up their publications on Alfred's website and see what looks appealing. Timothy Brown too has some similar pieces.

      No, it works very well for the learning process too! 5-7 minutes of work on a new piece, followed by working on a different piece, followed by going back to that new piece, etc etc. It allows the brain to process in the background.

    Hi! Could you help me with the turns in Clementi's sonatina op 36. no 4. second movement? I learned a long time ago to play the embellishments as you described, starting on the note above. So for the turn above the A, I would play B-A-G-A. However, I've watched many videos where people play it starting on the note, so A-B-A-G-A. What is your opinion on this? Is it different for thrills and turns? Thank you in advance!

    • @JannaWilliamson
      @JannaWilliamson 22 дні тому

      Turns are different than trills. I think that particular example could go either way. If you like it starting on the principle note, keep it that way!

  • @HaischkaEST

    I've made the switch from memorizing first to sight-reading. YES, memorization should happen right away. This activates the ear and analysis immediately, whereas sight-reading is mostly muscle memory, which is less effective. It engages the brain to a higher degree and repertoire is learned more quickly. My two cents.

    I picked up my first Piano Adventures Book A, as well as the Pre-time Piano Christmas book, both from Faber for my pre-/very early reader. 😊 For my more advanced beginner student, I found an Alfred Level 2 Christmas book, an old Schaum level 3 Christmas book, and Bastien arrangements of Nutcracker. The Bastien is still maybe a little high for her, but the Funtime Classics book has an arrangement of the Nutcracker she's enjoying working on as a bit of a challenge piece.

    @ethanlamoureux5306 Місяць тому

    Bach’s keyboard instruments all had the same design, where you press the key for a note, and release the key to stop the note. His music was composed with this in mind, and typically has too many different notes to leave any place for slurring the notes together. The sustain pedal of the piano was invented during a time when music was very different from Bach’s music and such a device would be useful. I have never found the need to use sustain while playing Bach, as he didn’t write for it.

    • @JannaWilliamson
      @JannaWilliamson Місяць тому

      Yes, but we play a modern piano, which I believe gives us license to make adjustments. Your point about "too many different notes to leave any place for slurring notes together" does not hold in this prelude since it's homophonic.
