I've never liked readtion videos. The only one I watch is Fil of Wings of Pegasus, it's a good channel. I've used the Pitch Monitoring software to help me sing, but only to start to make sure I'm on the right note. He's a real detective for catching people using Autotune or Pitch Monitoring in concert or on songs. This was different, and I clicked on it since I liked your video on Liszt. I watched a You Tube video of Hamlin playing Hanon masterfully. I was ready to order the album, Hanon plays all 60 Hanon Exercises, but I forgot to check the date. Silly me.

Very informative video. Merci beaucoup.I just watched a video by the one and only Alyson Smith, who is a Pianosmith. I just started out on an apprenticeship, but for now I've just been given a broom and I've got to keep the workshop clean. But I get to watch how the Master works, and I want to pick up some pointers. I was using John Thompson and La Méthode Rose, and was happily in Volume 2. I had even played this piece. But I stopped, and I picked up the broom and went back to level one. Actually, I've done it several times. And now I'm ready to go back to picking up the ring making tools. BTW I've subbed, since I learned lots.

I really enjoyed watching your video and chatting about your piano experience. You are my favorite pianist, melody is diamond, accompaniment is a ring.i get it.. if I ever want to steal anything from Alyson mam.. that is one and one only your kawai piano.😂😂😂

I enjoyed hearing you talk out loud about what you're thinking and seeing while you're playing Lizst. And I learned a few things that would not or do not come to my mind while I'm playing. As a late beginner, most of my focus is on playing notes accurately and keeping up with the rhythm. Further, I'm not playing Lizst or Gershwin. I am currently trying to play the Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time." Regardless, the next time that I sit down at my piano, I will look at my sheet music to see if I see any notations regarding p or f or poco this or poco that. Maybe with more practice I'll get good enough to follow those instructions. I appreciate your practice and playing tips for those of us who weren't music majors. Thank you.

6 beats, 12 notes, 2 notes on each beat. Lizt is fooling you, the highest note in the arpeggio is not on a beat... later, playing faster, the accent will become less clear and the arpeggios will seem "normal"...

Great overview - I don't remember any of my childhood teachers covering memorisation as a skill in itself and so, for a while, I assumed muscle memory was all there was to it. This helped for tricky sections, but not with remembering the overall form; I'd occasionally forget where I was and skip entire sections or repeat things I'd already played...

I analyzed along the video and really enjoyed it. I second the comments below that I would love to see more videos like this especially for classical piece analysis for beginner levels. just subscribed to the channel. really appreciate the great content!

It’s interesting to know that one can approach “classical” music in a creative way. It’s not just playing the notes exactly as intended by the composer. Adding your own perspective makes the piece unique. Why should jazz musicians have all the fun. 😊

Is the hardest part of this piece something Liszt would have written out and played the same way every time or would he have improvised this a different way every time he performed it?

Thank you for the clear demonstration!

I never listened much to Gershwin. I have a new appreciation for his music. Great video Alyson!

I don't know much about piano. but I think alyson mam is a magical creature on earth to play piano. Alyson mam always create content with such passion. I am speechless. the content speak for itself.

Super! I also love these renditions by Hamelin. Have you checked out the Gershwin Etudes by Earl Wild? They are gorgeous too but more difficult. Awesome content!

I just love your interior view of a pianist's work. So much more goes on than just at the keyboard! You're a good teacher and i am hooked. Now i must go practice.

New subscriber here. I enjoyed this informative, behind the scenes practice session. "How to practice daily" is a big hole in most piano instruction. And not only, "This is what to do," but "This is what it'll take." You address both aspects and, unfortunately, most teachers do not. I hope you make more of these videos, especially addressing different levels of skills.

More great tips to improve. I probably haven't paid enough attention to listening to piano music....what am I listening for? I really appreciate your "how to" parts of your videos.

Wow, was it ever humbling for me to slow the piece I was learning down and use the metronome so I could play that piece evenly. I'm glad that I have headphones so no one else has to listen to me! Regardless of my ego bruise, thank you again for the practice tip and I'll keep trying. Another good video worth watching.

I think I may have been the commenter you talk about in your intro. It's very nice to see you follow through. It earned you my subscription.

Freaking awesome! I feel so much better about my own routine!

I’m subscribed now. I will have to figure out what are the main parts of my iceberg song but I like the idea. Thank you.

Great video! I appreciated the “how to practice “ tips. I’m looking forward to hearing more. Thank you.

Thanks 🎉

Great video on memorization! And, more importantly, it made me feel better about putting my Xmas tree up so early.

Great video, well structured talk without meandering, love your work and very much enjoy Watching it. Your methods are really working out for me, (Tying your shoe in public that's was nice one 👏👏👏)

I’m an adult learner. I’ve been playing for a number of years but with lots of bad habits which stifled my progress I’m sure. Videos like this are invaluable to improving one’s technique and efficiency.

I noticed sections where the video was sped up.

One of the best explanations I have ever listened. Thanks for your video. I hope your channel get much biggger. Good Luck!

New piano students who search for piano practice routines aren't looking for glamor. They are looking for modeling of a practice session. Most teachers are far removed from their beginner learning days and have a hard time communicating how a student should spend the other 6 days on their own. They also tend to neglect to convey what it takes in sweat to succeed, like a sports coach might. And this is even if they are told things like play hands separately, etc. I truly believe that productive, consistent practice is its own skill that's rarely taught effectively.

Yep we are all guilty of this. I always have to remind myself to slow down. One of the easiest things you can do to improve your piano playing.

Subscribed! Great advice and very appealing video editing.🙂

your teaching style is very good mam thanks for sharing I pray that God multiply your talent and you have mentioned your swimming technique right that was so convincing, Teachers can help students develop their character by leading by example and demonstrating the right behavior, That's why Teaching is a noble profession, 🎉😊🎉😊

I really enjoy your lesson and I get a lot out of them, thank you for doing this, 🎉🎉

Sometimes my stopping stems from me trying to match sure that my hands are in the right positions and I am able to play right notes and chords. I end up looking at my hands to confirm they are where I want them to be. How can you learn to trust and train your hands to do what they need to without eye confirmation so you can focus on the sheet music?

When you practice slow, how do you make sure your choice of fingering or technique is correct so it translates to a faster tempo? Maybe this isn’t a problem on piano? Aren’t there a number of ways to play a passage slowly but some don’t scale to a faster tempo?

What are some mistakes that you sometimes make in your practice? COMMENT BELOW 😁⬇️

Great resource, just what I needed.

Please keep these up, I like these flashcard sessions just enough information at one time.

Alyson, this was an awesome flashcard round. I actually learned something! ❤

Alyson, thank you for this lesson! Can you also do videos on all the scales and fingering.

Love the aesthetics of this video with you in this circle and a full view on your fingering below. And I am already curious to practice what you’ve shown here. 🤓

Cool video, thanks for sharing! Aren’t you getting discouraged by listening to the piece you sweat on being played effortlessly by other pianists?

Great video Alyson. Doing the same for an intermediate piece would be wonderful. Love Gershwin but any piece of your liking would be great.

Blessed with another video from Alyson giving me daily motivation. Thanks!

Do you know any good intermediate level arrangements of Gershwin tunes?

You are a good teacher, continue with the same spirit and good richly bless you mam, 🎉🎉

I just discovered your channel yesterday and have learned so much from your videos already. Keep up the great content!

Very helpful video Alyson. Question…what is the best way to not rely on muscle memory so much. I can play very well in a certain key however I would struggle learning a piece in a different key.

You the Best! 🎉 I really love how you teach and It's really help me remember much more better❤

It's not about these 3 chords but the rythm in 2/4 and the speed of this piece
