Thanks for the link to your pedaling course, I thought I had it down but it changes with different pieces. I need a real course! I hope I'm not the only one that feels like this video was directed at me!
Hi Roger! The pedaling course will give you the technical skills to coordinate the pedal with the hands, as well as how to apply pedaling technique to real-world situations.
Thank you so much for this wonderful, clear land concise lesson - your demonstration showed so clearly how applying these tips to a piece makes all the difference in how it sounds!🌷🌷🌷
These tips make sense for me. For me there are tempo issues at the beginning while teaching my brain which notes to play with a fingering that suits me. But early on in the learning proces I focus very much on the timing. It is also my exerience, that a lot of the dynamics can be picked up by listening to others. Kind of "feel" the music (If that makes sense). I really really love the pedals, and I never regretted taking your course very early in my piano journey.
I am amazed at your piano teaching. You are clear and your videos get right to the heart of what piano student need. Thank you for helping you are a piano friend. Edward Henderson here in New Haven, CT ct
Lovely explanations Marina! And as always, nailing the tips for us to improve. Thank you for sharing so much! Blessings and all the best... from Venezuela 🤗🙏🏼
Watching from my salon sitting in a chair bought from a Scandinavian furniture store in Switzerland. Your advice about rhythm was spot on for my self-analysis. And you gave me inspiration for finding the solution. Valuable video.
I am not a professional piano player but I could tell the difference with how a piece should sound like, an excellent video and thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you, Elizabeth! It's true that the listener can tell when a performance isn't quite at a high level, even if they're not a professional musician.
I follow your advice on listening to great pianists playing the pieces I am learning. I have my sheet music in front of me and I make marks and comments and draw arrows and all kinds of things to show to myself what they are doing! For example, I love when they play a bass note on the beat, but the melody note ever so slight after - to bring out the melody note. I love when they play the second note of a melody or phrase slightly louder than the first to "carry" the phrase (and, of course, the first note takes care of itself). Your advice is great, but I would add have the sheet music and a pencil ready. I am from St Louis, Missouri and I am a big fan. You the best.
Wow, I love knowing that you are so dedicated to your piano playing! I absolutely agree about making notes on your sheet music. I think I've said that in other videos, but maybe forgot to mention that here. 😊
Dynamics is another dimension (axis), should beginners experiment with playing new pieces with various levels (throughout and then partially)? What is the best way to practice dynamics isolated (with and without apps)?
I like where she talks about slowing it down. That's a big one for me. In my haste to be a piano player I was biting off more than I could chew. Working on half a page-no! Cut it down to a couple measures until you get them down well.
Hi, your new Norwegian friend here! I found your channel yesterday, and have been binge watching your content for 24 hours now 😄Many, many years ago I got a keyboard, and learned to play some Enya songs just by listening to the songs. So for 20 years I have been pulling out the old keyboard about once a year, to play those songs, but I rather quickly was putting it away again. Recently I "accidentally" got hold of a kind of new keyboard, that is much more like playing a piano. I even have a PEDAL!! And OMG!!! I'm hooked! It is the keyboard feeling I didn't like with my old one! Now I am fighting the urge to purchase a 88 key digital piano 🙈 -Maya
@@ThePianoKeys Well shoot, that didn't go as planned.... You was going to ask how many keys I have. I would answer 61. And your response was going to be that 61 keys is more than enough in the beginning.... Let me tell ya... I now have 88 keys... 🙃😉 😁
At first, I thought that beat/pacing is about control and using perfect control to perfectly alter it. But it seems, it is about learning in comfortable tempo, speeding it up to needed level when needed.
Pedal(s) do make a huge change. Does it make sense to introduce it to beginners, to bring motivation (rewards) back soon? If so, what are the cons for it?

That's an excellent process, Jan! I'm so happy that you've learned to use the pedals early on!!

Dynamics is another dimension (axis), should beginners experiment with playing new pieces with various levels (throughout and then partially)?
What is the best way to practice dynamics isolated (with and without apps)?
You can practice dynamics inside of technique exercises, but the best place to do it is in the music you are studying. I don't use apps for piano.
I like where she talks about slowing it down. That's a big one for me. In my haste to be a piano player I was biting off more than I could chew. Working on half a page-no! Cut it down to a couple measures until you get them down well.
YES!! This strategy will get your further faster! 😊
Nice tips 👌 watching from India.
Thanks so much!
First I memorise with a very unsteady beat, then I work on the steady beat :) Watching from England.
Yes, that is what I recommend! 😊😊

Hello, Marina! I am new here. I recentely returned to my piano studies and I am really enjoying your content. I am José from Brazil.
Hi Jose! Welcome to the family!

Yes, that is correct!

You should add pedal as soon as possible. The cons are that you don't work on pedaling technique and just try to "wing it."
Could you please upload a thorough tutorial for "Marriage d'Amour"?!!?
