I'm so happy i found this out, i was feeling frustrated because of how slow my progress was in sight reading after you pointing out it would take 2-4 years on some of those songs, i felt an insane relief... I'm in my 1-2 year and just picked up sight reading, so i thought i was REALLY behind Now i think I'm just fine... Thank you for this! Really insightful

Loved the video ❤ Metric acents follow the same principle?

Merci Tia, these are nice breaks from my piano practice, and the tips help out. I'm preparing a recital piece, Sizilienne by Schumann. It's probably for March, and I sent a recording to my family and to my circle of musician friends. I'm starting every practice with a singing drill on A2, and I've moved up to A3, and even down to E2. It took me 68 years of my life to be able to do that. My family just had a Zoom meeting, and I talked to my 5th sibling (I'm the 6th of 8) and told him that my horrible voice has been blamed on his behavior in church when I was 5 years old. Whenever I sang a false note, he'd laugh and encourage me to continue. My younger brothers would laugh and get in trouble. In Choir classes up to 2nd Secondary, every director told me to move my lips and not make a sound. I tried to get a stage voice at the encouragement of an opera singer friend that was directing student plays in university. In Summer Semester, I signed up for beginning singing. The professor had just had a baby, and the stroller was next to her piano covered in lace, and I walked in. She said that we would start with a 16th century Italian song. I said I don't sing. She looked at me, and said that we would sing a Renaissance song. I said I didn't sing. She then asked me what I sang, tenor, bass, baritone. I said I didn't know since I didn't sing. She plunked (actually, she problably played) some notes in the middle and had me sing them back. Then she moved down, then up, back to the middle, up and down again. She then asked me if it was too late to be re-imbursed. I was devastated. And it was too late. I went back for the second session, and she profusedly apologized. Then she (correctly) told me that my ear sucked, and tried to teach me the rudimentaries, but I wsan't motivated. Until I started the piano 2 1/2 years ago. Even then, I had a lot of trouble. But I used the pitch monitoring software, and used the Rule of the Octave to help train my ear. I also did some EMDR with my Psychologist, and that has helped. I don't know if I will join a choir, but we will sing Christmas songs next week.

Merci Tia.

Just a comment when you stopped Chopin because of hand pain. When you move your right shoulder, it looks like the rotator cuffs aren't working smoothly. I've got a video for exercises for the low back, shoulders and hands that might help. Title below, but no link since You Tube doesn't like links sometimes. Since you're in Canada, you might ask a local baseball team if they have a soigneur, or trainer that can help out. Baseball and shoulder go hand-in-hand, er, something like that even if it might be a mixed metaphor. The shoulder moves because of muscles, so massaging is the treatment of choice. As a Chiropractor, I learned lots of techniques to manipulate, and there are many osteopaths that also manipulate. NOT recommended. I told my association this, and offered to teach my techniques in Zurich, but I'm blacklisted in the canton since they caused my shoulder problem. Oh My Aching Bach

I consider myself a cobweb-infested early to late beginner. But I can do some technical drills that are more advanced, since I just cruised You Tube for too long and tried different things. I've tried scales at thirds and sixths. Slowly. I don't like speed, but I'm working with my teachers. When I try even two notes the beat, I have a hard time following. They give me a break since I'm an older learner, and I have inner ear problems. Rhythm is associated with the inner ear, so it's a great excuse. I'll make another comment after I've finished the video, since it helps the Al Gore Rhythm. Oh, bonjour Tia, et merci beaucoup.

Wow! That idea of practicing two scales at once changed my whole world.

Good morning, Tia!🩷🎄🕎🎵🎼🎹🎄🕎🩷

This is so helpful. I think the slow 5× and fast 3× will really help with my rcm song practice. Also what you were saying about playing in front of people and worrying about mistakes is a big thing for me and your advice will really help with my prep for the upcoming recital and feeling a little more confident in the moment. Thank you for these videos and being a great teacher 🥰🌠

Thank you so much for this video..

I’ve been working through Hanon to develop some dexterity and speed and this video really helped me rethink some things and also gave me some new ideas to implement. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks

Good morning Tia, wow, perfect for me: I play around 60-70......it's a struggle to increase and maintain faster tempo. 🩷🎵🎹🎄🎵🎹🩷

How did I miss this video?! Thanks for everything, Tia! BTW: it is Thanksgiving today!🍁🦃🎄🍁🦃

Thank you for sharing your piano practice .❤

Good morning Tia! Listening to your latest lesson--thanks so much for all of the professional advice. You are terrific! 🇺🇸 🩷🎵🎹🩷

Thanks for the reminder to slow down. I've noticed I've been speeding up my recital song to get it to a performance ready speed and it is causing me to make more mistakes and get frustrated. Slowing down is teaching me patience as well 🙃 I do still have almost 2 months to get it recital ready. Thank you for your videos 🥰

Oh my goodness! Tia you look so young but very wise! I strongle with all if that! Thank you so much for the tips. ❤

l love you tia you help me yith piano💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

I finished listening to this and was impressed with the Fugue at the slow tempo. I love Bach as interpreted by Myra Hess and Tatiana Nikoleyeva.

I've been practicing scales a lot since being a rank beginner. My teacher says I have a good understanding, but now I have to work on my musicality. I'm starting out my practices with hands seperate scales, and only if I have time together. I have a routine for practicing modes, but I don't do them in the C Major Scale order. i will do the major scale, then the Lydian, since it is the only one which uses a sharp, then, Major, Mixolidian, Dorian, Aeolian, Melodic and Harmonic, Phrygian and Locrian. That way I just flatten the 7th, 3rd, 6th, 2nd and then the 5th. There are two other scales to practice, but I don't know the names. One is with the 4th flattened, and then the Tonic flattened. Sheepishly, I am still working my way through two Level One method books: La Methode Rose and John Thompson. This is not the first time I've gone back, but as I said, I need to work on musicality and real basic techniques. My teacher is supportive and is willing to help me learn to feel the music. I've heard you play various pieces, and would love to play at your level. Slow and steady.

Bonjour again from Western Switzerland. Hope you're doing well.

7:51 thx again ;) looking forward for the next vid and tips :)

Thank you Tia, it's wonderful to see how you progress through your pieces. Although my pieces are at a much easier level, your tips are still incredibly helpful!

Morning Tia!!💕💕💕😎💕💕💕 From Florida🌴🏖️🎼🎹🏖️🌴

Awesome video :) My piano practice has been all over the place recently lol so I’m trying to make it a little more structured. Btw have you heard of the new Chopin piece that was discovered recently?

Thank you for making this video

2:09 thanks :D

That test analogy for practicing new pieces is so insightful!

Good morning Tia, thank you for your guidance in the practice of piano. I always enjoy hearing you play the scales and your repertoire for your upcoming exams. It gives me the enthusiasm to sit and get to my scales and pieces. In fact, I will be setting up my timer and books in a minute. Thanks again and looking forward to another video of yours! 💕🎼🎶🎹🌻🍂🦃💕

Thank you Tia, your gentle and kind advice is always so reassuring and encouraging! By the way, I actually really like the Fugue, it already sounds lovely.

Good morning, Tia! Thanks for your lessons, they are very helpful to me: Grade 2...so far! 💕💕💕🎶🎼🎹💕💕💕

Thanks! Ive been struggling to understand minor scales, and this is very helpful

i think i’m going to try the application of this technique with my vocal practices. thank you. 💙

Thanks! I like your teaching, very helpful and doesn't make me feel like I'm stupid. Learning takes time.

Watching your videos are helpful because it reminds me of good practicing techniques at times where I want to “rush” my piano progress even though it’s counter intuitive. Thank you :)

Well said! Thank you, Tia.💕🎼🎶🎹💕

Very useful advise. Sometimes I notice that it's important to pepare for both notes instead of just one at a time, so your advise is very important for people who hasn't figured that out.

Thank you Tia for sharing piano theory while you go through your time practicing for your RCM level 10 exams! 🎼🎶🎹😇🥰🥰🥰

Thank you Tia for the beautiful message at the end. Hugs ❤

thanks for the practice tips!

Well said. Healing steps with piano.

Morning Tia! 🩷😇🎹🎼🎶🩷

Hi Tia, thanks for your advice always!!!!

I've been told to sight-read just slow enough to avoid mistakes. The speed will come over time.

I know I need this!!!! Thank you, Tia! 🩷🎶🩷

💕💕🙏💕💕Thank you Tia for breaking down music theory into nuggets that are easily absorbed. It is good to be exposed to theory and really dig into each piece of it because it makes playing more enjoyable and practicing intuitive. Thanks for this lesson very much! 🩷🩷🎶🎶🎶🩷🩷

Thank you so much for your effort I ve been watching your videos and I ve learn so much 🙏

Great vid. Could you show the pedals too while playing? Have a nice day!
