8:32 "too tired" didn't feel like practicing
*PROCEEDS TO PRACTICE 1.5 HOURS*
XD
A lot of professionals practice 4 hours+ every day so in comparison, 1 and a half hours is not much.
It’s the cat guys! That’s how Tiffany progresses insanely fast. Someone get me a kitten right now😻
I don’t think that’s true. I have two dogs and every time I stop playing, they bark at me. Dogs can help too. :0
It was Benny's hug bro
Yess I love cats
mhh I have three cats and I still suck 😂
This is glorious, been searching for "is it hard to sing and play piano?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Poneyton Introductory Preeminence - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering how to master the piano minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.
My main struggle is finding enough motivation to keep practicing to get a piece from, say, 60-70% to 90-100%. I don't normally struggle with motivation at the beginning but my motivation dies when I get to about 60%, and I get bored. If anyone has any tips on how to overcome that, I'd love to hear them :)
Yes actually! I’ve struggled with that a lot myself, so I’ve found that playing the piece EXTREMELY slowly with lots of expression helps with boredom. Also, if you keep drilling a piece from beginning to end over and over, you WILL get bored. So maybe try doing the slow practice on different sections. Sorry if this was too long 😅
I have a digital piano where you can transpose the key, so when I get bored I just play the song in a different key. I don’t know if that’s actually good for practicing but it makes it less boring and it does keep me motivated.
I have the same problem. I find that, first, take a break, rest your mind, a nice walk in nature somewhere, and I use youtube to find artists I love to listen to whether Classical, Jazz or Pop or Country. I also have some online mentors that help me. In addition, I try to pick music that is not to far above my grade level. And to finish, I really like to watch artists who are happy with what they are doing. That motivates me and makes me happy too. If you have friends to watch it with you , that is even better. Enjoy your journey!
Either leave the piano to do something else like eating food, take a rest, or shoot a video clip of you playing the 60%, send it to your teacher or friends who plays better piano than you to ask for advice, so that you can improve. This is usually what I do. Hope it can be helpful to you, or to anyone who needs it.
When I practise I never play the whole piece. I like to focus on some concrete fragment and then go to the next piece. At the next day I play the fragment that comes after the one I practised day before. You can’t play everything at one day bcs it would take a lot of time and would not be precise. (Sorry for my english)
to be completely honest, this video motivated me to go practice !!! thanks for that😂❤
came down to the comments to write that haha
My favorite practice tip is from Robert Schumann’s “Musikalische Haus- und Lebensregeln.”
“When you have done your musical day's work and feel tired, do not exert yourself further. It is better to rest than to work without pleasure and vigour.”
(Original:
“Hast du dein musikalisches Tagewerk gethan und fühlst dich ermüdet, so strenge dich nicht zu weiterer Arbeit an. Besser rasten, als ohne Lust und Frische arbeiten.” )
Schumann also advises;
“Das »wohltemperirte Clavier« sei dein täglich Brod. Dann wirst du gewiß ein tüchtiger Musiker.”
I believe in this adage because of two legendary adherents of this rule, namely Pablo Casals and Andras Schiff.
(3:07, 4:01 Cannot help loving these “eTiffany” moments😂)
I was literally practing Chopin's Ballade, and was on the exact same part, and was getting ridiculously frustrated...I came onto youtube just looking for advice on practicing piano in general. I find your video and...you're practicing...THE EXACT SAME PART OF THE EXACT SAME SONG I WAS PRACTICING. felt like amazing luck
Yeah, Google has a very good ear.
A metaphysical routine: figure out what you need to work on and work it out :) Listen, evaluate, and fix
Wonderful summary of the resolution to nearly every problem encountered in life. 💙
This comment made me rethink how I'm going to practice today!! Thank you
Thank you for this video! I practice about one to three hours and I also don't have a routine, I was wondering if I should have a routine... But I'm glad to find out that you also just practice the way you feel, makes me more comfortable with practicing :) also, your videos are getting better and better!
Listening to all those snatches of the G minor Ballade just gave me an appetite to hear the rest of it!
3:23 good to see I'm not the only one who rests his head on the piano from time to time :D
Omg I do that all the time as well! 😂
I keep feeling a bit sleepy whenever I do that, next thing I know I would probably be asleep 😅
can u remind me the of this piece plsss :(
@@mob6280 I think it’s Chopin Ballade no. 1 :)
@@wallie963
Awesome video! It was not only entertaining, but helpful as well.
For me, I found sometimes putting too much thoughts might be counterproductive, so just relax inside and show the most natual part of you.
李洱 that's true. That happens to me with Bach too often
Great video. When I was younger I used to spend quite a bit of time going through exercises in many different variations. ie: faster, slower accenting different notes etc. it looked like you were doing the say.
I love how the cat visited you occasionally.
It’s kind of relieving to see your practice style. I am rather sporadic with my practice, but drill specific spots and points of my pieces in the same way! I’ve been watching your videos for motivation in my pursuit of music so thank you so much for your energy and videos!
your videos always motivate me to practise more haha love u
Boredom is the enemy. That's why experimenting and composing randomly is neccesary.
5:15 it looks like she was about to break that piano in half !!!
I really enjoyed this practice video. I’ve never sat with or sat through someone’s practice time other than my own. And, you’re right about not having a routine. I actually tried to set one and then I felt so bored that each time I practiced I had to purposely do different things and the practice became more rewarding and I got more out of it. I can see why many people were asking you about doing this video. It answered so many questions. Everyone wants a bit of guidance from you to be able to play well. For those who did not have a routine now feel more certain that they are on the right track. At the end your message was to do what works for you. As I can only speak for myself, after listening to what you said, I no longer feel guilty that I’m doing something wrong with my practice. As it is, I have little time these days to get to the piano each week and so what you said made a big difference for me so thank you so very much! If you have time and don’t mind, I would love to see another one of these practice videos!!!
I can so relate to it.. Even my practice sessions is so haphazard.. At least you do it everyday.. For me I might have a week of 2-3 hours per day followed by 2 weeks of none at all..
P.S. Day 2 of your practice shows how virtuoso you are besides your usual emotional side..
Tiffany's ideal practice sounds exactly like the ideals from my Piano teacher Dr. Herbert. The freedoms of music and yourself allow you to develop guidelines for yourself and the music, which is true! there isn't only one way of teaching a student how to play a certain way, traditionally majority of music teachers strictly teach with the reading of sheet music and analyzing primarily for classical pieces. However there are teachers teach you the ability to read and understand sheet music and use it as a tool, it's like you're expanding your music theory knowledge without even realizing it. I've seen some people on UA-cam and students from my school begin to make their own arrangements or transcriptions for new songs that appear on the radio or shows since there always isn't a constant source of sheet music around for the newer generation of music. Both sides show the beauty of music and freedom. there shouldn't be a set in stone routine of practice for each instrument. Don't restrict yourself as a musician! Beautiful playing as always Tiffany keep up the good work! When my school year starts again I'll be looking forward to your uploads after school like always!
YOU"RE AWESOME!! :) I'm so happy I found your channel! I play violin but I learn lots of useful knowledge, great advice, and cool tips from your videos. Thank you!)
I think I'm in love with her. Her videos full of honesty help me get out of my doubts about practicing and also motivates me a lot.
Bravo! You are so Brave sharing even your weak aspects that are not usually shown by professional pianists.
I hope this effort will be a new trend among famous pianists and than in all professional areas, too. It is not only natural for both sides but helpful in various ways.
Thank you very much Tiffany! You are a pioneer!
Love the cat!! Classically trained no doubt!
Great video. it was a pleasant surprise to hear so much Ballade 1 in this vlog - that's my favorite piece to play. And of course, there's Ravel - always great to hear you do Ravel - you said he's your favorite, right? Have a great time in Germany!
This video really gave an idea to what i really do even though routines are boring and somewhat great unless if you are willing to prioritise most of the time as this point i couldn't agree even more.
"I can be a bit lazy when it comes to practice" 😪
We all need a break at some point and plan what you need to do is what i mostly say to myself.
Sometimes I find it really hard to compromise just because "A routine is not going to work"
We're not robots, just ourselves that make the use of being productive and control things from how we want.
Everyone is a unique individual
Great video Tiffany ☺
I think routines are for beginners, those that need to develop technique and strength, the way that you currently practice , I think is for virtuosos
Thank you to this great vidéo that helps .
How do you not get angry all the time when you mess up tell us your secret please I have anger management issues when I'm drilling and practicing pieces
Hi Tifany! It is always interesting to watch you play. You are just sooo talente, but still such a nice person. A pleasure to listen to you. I am always impressed by your intelligence and talent. Wow! you can remember pieces that you played so long ago an d can learn new pieces super fast. I suppose it helps to have the right hands to play the piano. Your hands are light and flexable and you fingers all seem to be more or less the same length? So no obstacles there. I listened to you playing Liszt's Campanella, which is an extremely difficult piece and your version was the best I have ever listened to. Thank you. What is the reach of your hand?
I’m actually curious too
I personally don't think the way someone's hands or fingers are determines how flexible and light, or well someone plays. In my opinion it is just a lot of work around good and healthy teach guidelines
In one of your (most recent?) QnA's you said that you consider yourself horrible at composing and improvising (which i still want to doubt...). But so you have friends who are composers, maybe not particullarly as a job but as a Hobby, and have you already attempted/played pieces by them?
Also, nice to See that i'm not the only one with no particular warming up, but rather "mess around randomly" (->"improvising") for warming up😂👍
Cutest pianist on earth. Never seen Talent being so sweet. Keep up your efforts, they're so inspiring for all of us, even a crappy pianist like me! :-) btw ain't Ravel's creations the most visionary ever? Hugs to everyone.
How awesome her piano routine. I only wish I could practice like her.
Wow, she's been playing for long time. It shows in a practice.
Is that an Estonia piano? edit:// yep
Also: Ballade in G minor
Tiffany, thank you so much for this! This inspires me to keep a journal in bullet points. I hope you play in Phoenix sometime! Would be great to hear you live!
Very good video, enjoyable and instructive. I like the concept of NOT following a ROUTINE...any routine becomes boring in the end. My biggest problem with practicing is getting motivated, inspired and ambitious. And seeing as I am a church organist, the piano is quite the opposite experience with the attack and decay of the organ sound versus the piano sound. So when I practice at home with my piano keyboard sometimes when I translate to the organ, it doesn’t work out because of the issues I described with just the attack and decay of the organ manual versus the piano keyboard. Anyway, this is not about me, but how you, Tiffany, are a very gifted player and that you’ve really got it all together at such a young age. Awesome for you! Keep up the great work with practicing/playing/performing and making these vids.
Nice video!
Also I'm kind of surprised of how little you practice (and you have great technique), do you practice that amount of time usually, or just that 5 days?
It would be nice to listen your opinion about practicing hours.
Thank you, Tiffany, for showing us how is the way you practice. This is very important to guide me through the developing of my studies.
Lol when you’re laying on your arm around 3:20
😅
I do this too!
Being so good at it , you make everything look so easy . Love hearing your music .
Question: how long does it take for you to memorize the notes of a piece to the point where you no longer need the sheet music to practice? I realize that this probably differs based on the piece, so how about liebestruam for example?
Stovetop? I mean this is my experience, but there is no set time. It just happens eventually (I don’t know about others)
+Xzavier
How can anyone answer your question, considering that every human mind works differently? I had a friend in college who would begin memorizing from the time he began working on a score. I preferred to let the process happen naturally through repetition, but sometimes a passage would come up which I had to analyze AWAY from the piano, bar by bar. There was no other way to get the job done. How often does one review what one has learned? If not very often, don't expect quick results. But a few have near-miraculous, God-given powers to play back what they have heard only once or twice. So again, one cannot generalize.
I'll tell you one thing which very few others will. It is profitable to spend a little time regularly memorizing Scripture. (Hebrews 4:12) 'For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.'
However one chooses to spend one's time, it is an investment of sorts.
You are a great personality and a true inspiration.... not only to those who play music.
Thank you!
Tiffany pond ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing
Your practice routine
Beautiful advanced exercise

God bless

You secret routine is safe with me🤣🤣
There cannot be too many "routines" because there are billions of possible combinations of hand position transitions each of which might have unique problems.
Well said! I enjoyed your practice very much. Best always!
Love your conclusion. There is no routine for practicing. And also, i think it depends on the level everyone is practicing. :) Have a nice journey Tiffany and hope to see you soon. :)
Absolutely loved this and thank you so much for sharing! I love seeing these behind the scenes - it really inspires me to practice! Side note would love a video about Ballade 1 with any tips or thoughts about the piece. It’s that one piece that I hope one day to be able to play through. Do you have any pieces like that where you think this is really hard but one day I’ll learn to play it?! Would also love to see you play La Campanella! Xxx
I don't like routine as well! So here is a good example to show the benefit of this way! Again, thanks for sharing your practice!! 🤓
everyone needs a snack break!! haha
I like this a lot. Thank you for all the advice. I’m improving my piano and you’re inspiration.
I can do what she did at 4:38.
Sound cuts out on day 5?
Tiffany, youre speaking out of my heart! These "routine" of everything in life drives me crazy. Thank you for beeing "normal" ;) keep goin girl
That's just practice... AMAZED
Peanut 🐈 approves of your playing 💕
Totally agree with you, I watched till the end. There is no routine. Just practice. To make the music sounds good. So happy, you have enlightened us about the myth of practice routines.
The 1st ballade in G Minor is always be my favorite.
@bill Bloggs nah she played that piece when she 10 or 11. You can search the video on ytube.
This is great. But sooner or later we need to hear the whole Ballade! : )
Thank you tiffany for this video 🤗🤗! Love from Singapore 😍😍
Excellent. Completely agree about ‘routine’. The best routine being no routine.. True creativity emerges that way. Thanks so much!
This video was so useful! I’ve been trying to come up with a routine as I have conservatoire auditions later this year and though that I should have one! But now I realise that routines are not as important as I thought. Thanks! Love your playing by the way!!!
I've understood 2 things : don't be like a machine and practice as you are, like you want and use a reccording. THANK YOU SO MUCH, it will help me in my futures practices times !
Here we are sometimes wary of a tough New York Female. I think we are able to trust you Tiffany and wonderful to watch your fingers and you of coarse , both on the keys and in reflection ! I think you should be relaxed about beauty and keep us all striving and excelling as humans. Lunch comes next ! diner later !
November 30 2023. Tiffany I love a you a "human being" a wonderful person and a gifted artist. I love the video and wish you success in your venture with Pentatone and your album.
I'm sorry but this approach is way too random.
I ALWAYS warm up w 5 dif Scarlatti's daily w repeats( eventually doing all 545)
As Rachmaninoff concurs these jewels will
perpetually keep yr fingers willing & ready to go.
Also, playing Petrouschka daily puts most the repertoire at bay( difficulty-wise). Rotating all the Chopin & Liszt Etudes( 40 total) is enough warm-up to play even Rach 3.sightreading big is another fav starter @ dawn. Point is don't waste TOO much time flailing around-it accomplishes exactly ZERO.
Nice video Tiffany.
5:11
Benny : Hello ! " He (G) - llo(F) "
TIffany: Bb major
:) :)
Thank you for posting this Tiffany
This was actually kind of funny 😂
Doanne Chin and cute
You're fantastic. Love this video; routine is not the way to put your soul into your music, great advice.
Beautiful playing! Great videos, I'm subscribing and maybe I can learn from some of your tips.
Yay! Thank you 🙂
Been loving Chopin nocturnes recently. Especially Op.9 No.1. And something else with wonderful trills that I have no number for.
Has she thought of buying a small microphone to attach to her handheld. The replayed sound is always far greater quality. It captures more bass. Such microphones are easily transportable in back packs. They take up little to no room.
Thanks for these lessons in classical piano. They have helped broaden my appreciation of this genre. ☯️
Quick question have you ever seen any Marx Brothers movies if you haven't you should chico Marx on the piano is something special...Cheers Phil from Newark
I barely can play or read music, I do have an exceptionally good ear for music though. For me, it was fun watching you practice. I guess the point of practice is to keep yourself in tune as a concert pianist, where even though you are young, you stay vibrant at your skill. After Bach's first prelude in the well-tempered, my playing days were over. In another life I'd love to learn to play music and read music.
Have you ever thought of playing transcribed music. As a person very interested in orchestral music, if I could play music, I would transcribe the fiery opening to Mahler's Titan symphony finale first and foremost, perhaps my favorite heavy-metalish style classical piece. I believe I would also devote the time to transcribe the second movement of Stauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra, such beautiful climactic music is hard to find anywhere else.
I really much enjoy her videos but this video is very strange to me. This rep should be solid.....
This video was incredible to me thanks so much 🐱 🇩🇪. I want to follow your path 😅
A Kitten ! you dont need a Kitten you have us ! Hope Cafe venue in dresden has been found for you. You were talking about having performed in a Church Cellar in Germany. Good experience.
I've never tried to record me. I'm going to do that. Thank you very much
🤗
One of our Maltese dogs always comes with me when I practice. She sits under the stool. The cat comes to but she is there for a little sugar but when I tell I have to practice shes goes away. She comes back every 10 or so minutes. The dog has gone to sleep. I do some practice. Next day rinse and repeat and the next day rinse and repeat. I learnt NOTHING from this video, utterly pointless. 👎
My problem is to spread myself too much between different pieces. That works if you're a professional obviously. Less when you're an hobbyist with a time budget.
Although you don't have a regular routine for practicing, I think you do control well and have a clear mind when you're practicing. This is very important.
I like your playing
Zimerman giving a masterclass on various pieces in this video, and Ballade No. 1 is one of them. Maybe this will give some another idea to you for rubato. Since Zimerman himself saying 'the most diffucult is the beginning'.

That ballade coda from day 2 gets me every time 😍
Thank you for your ideas and encouragement. A very fresh approach.
Whenever I talk to other piano students they always want to know what my piano routine is and how many hours I practice everyday...I always felt like I never had a specific routine...I don't even practice for the same amount of hours everyday, I mean, sometimes I feel like playing 3 hours, but sometimes I can only play 1hour (like today). Sometimes I play what I'm supposed to play, others I just mix the new pieces with pieces I already know. When I explain this, there's usually another piano student that looks at me like I'm crazy and doesn't really believe it (but you MUST have a practice routine, but I'm sure you play more or less for the same amount of hours everyday...) which always made me feel kind of guilty and irresponsible. As always, Tiffany, you make more sense than everyone else, and I absolutely understand the way you feel about practicing. I mean, of course it's kind of a "job" and one has to take it seriously to get better but, at last, what we do it's called "play" for some reason... isn't it...? At least that's how I feel ,and I really believe you can't tell a kid how to play :D
So glad you made this video, it made me feel a lot more understood and less insecure. Hope to see more week practice videos, they're so cool (I love how you jump from one piece to another). By the way, your Ravel is just amazing. :)
im doing the same beethoven sonata too. Would yoi give me some advice on how to voice melody with a lighter touch when introduced with a c chord from the middle of the first page and the 2nd melody starting with f major?? my teacher told me to relax and use my arm and wrist more with more intention of singing, but i wish i could find a musical thought into malliable form of idea. Please help 😥
Totally agree with you 💚 I mean, that is what music really is, freedom, passion , feeling 💜 I really like you 💙 And this video make me love you even more 💛
One of the pieces that I'm playing right now it's the Chopin's raindrop prelude and I loved how you played it ❤ Hope that some day I'll play the Chopin's 1 ballade.
Love u 🎵
Really enjoy your videos! There are many times I find solutions to musical issues when I am away from the piano.
I love the way you practice, kinda like you don't press yourself to practice.
And this video reminds me so much to not give up practicing the piano. Thank you Tiffany!!
imagine having a friend or partner or parent where you could wake up to such beautiful music because they love doing it so much and you're just like i love you playing as well HA HA
I will try this practice "routine". *Goes to pick up friend's cat, find a walkie-talkie, a construction worker and a kid named Benny
Hmmm, came here to see what I should be doing every day besides scales and arpeggios. I guess pros don’t need to do that as much as practicing scores 😂
You are my motivator, when I go practice. You play chopin so perfect!
i really like your ballade from what we've heard so far
The fact that when you decide to practice, you can consistently play for an hour or more at will is awesome. I can barely motivate myself to play for an hour at a time. Keep up the good work 👍.
Interesting parallel between drilling the music and drilling the house haha
Never thought of that before 😂
So inspired ♥️
Chopin ballade number 1
I really enjoyed your talk about this topic! I don't have a routine and sometimes my parents are bugged about that, but I can explain to them some of what you said. It's always great to see you play! Thank you so much!
seem like you are not liking piano that much. maybe take a break? or dare i say practice Hanon :p
Finally a video on practicing! Yey!
My cat is named Chairman Meow. He's 16.
What’s the name of this 6:25 ?
Chopin Ballade No.1
