      Yeah, it's one of those things about people with actual talent. No matter how good you are, you end up judging your self against the best there is. And being talented, means you know EXACTLY how good the best are and that is often impossible to achieve. For them, the best is not just a compliment. They KNOW that "the best" is an honest accurate description.

  • @DrQuizzler

    I think Nahre's willingness to step outside the stereotypical classical pianist's lane, experimenting with other genres, working just as happily with digital pianos, synths as well as acoustic grands, coming up with innovative exercises which sound good and motivate people. In a world where a lot of people look down on things outside their own comfort zones, she's successfully shaking things up and blurring the lines between genres, and that's why so many of us are drawn to her work.

    Nahre in her groove is a language I barely comprehend. But when she's out of her comfort zone, she communicates raw and direct, with tons of insight and self-awareness. My two favorite examples are in the episodes Ballroom and the How Classical, R&B and Jass Musicians Play Differently. I learn by watching Nahre experience and express.
    Teaming her and LA pretty much guarantees something new is going to happen.

    @susanmazzanti5643 4 роки тому +11

    Music becomes rather insular when you live in New York City. You know people who do the same sort of thing you do you keep up with what they are doing. Some classical patrons are snobs and think they are better than people who like other forms of music. I disagree about music being replaced in your life. I sang in a good choir that did not get paid. I know when I get depressed I have to go look for the music to get better. My theory is that we do not select music. It picks us and we have to follow wherever it takes us. Most talented people I have known listen much more widely than they perform. I love your music but I live for your exploring different types of music. You two have helped me come out of the depression. Thank you.

  • @qp1377
    @qp1377 4 роки тому +3

    Nahre really is a realistic + relatable role model for me. not in the usual way where talent and hard work and musicality is the sheer point of admiration (although, of course, i still do admire these things about her), but more so the way she approaches being a musician, rather than a pianist. im currently attending a conservatory for a piano performance degree, but often times find myself alienated by my relative lack of obsession with the instrument, and like Nahre I dont feel like im the most talented out of the bunch. i love music in all of its forms and genres, but i am there because piano happens to be the one thing i can do. it's comforting to know that it is possible for a heavily classically trained pianist to explore music instead of just the piano - suddenly none of my practice feels like it's done in vain anymore...

    I think that the things that make Nahre Sol popular on UA-cam, besides the obvious ones like being a brilliant composer and pianist, are the ability to speak well, understand and analyze music, and express her own thoughts and analyses to the camera clearly and honestly. Also the editing and production of her videos is quite good.

      When you start out on an instrument at the age of whatever one digit number, it's quite unlikely that it'll stay your favourite instrument given that it was your favourite instrument to begin with. I started on clarinet when I was a child and now my favourite instrument to listen to is the oboe.

    • @tiacho2893
      @tiacho2893 4 роки тому +1

      I play both but mostly self taught on guitar. I was pretty mobile for my 20's and an acoustic guitar is just more portable. And I got more work as a fill in guitarist than keyboardist. There is always someone who needs an acoustic guitar player for a small room. But every chance I got to play a decent piano was a joy.

    I’ m totally loving your channel and have a suggestion for a genre of music you may not have checked out. I discovered the traditional music of Quebec and was pretty obsessed with it for awhile. The reason it is so cool is that a lot of the songs performed are ancient, but many of the bands reharmonize and reform the music so that is music that is constantly evolving. The groups I recommend listening to are Le Vent du Nord, Genticorum, La Volee D’Castors. They use interesting modes and changing time signatures (they call those “crooked”)

    "maybe a part of what's interesting is that someone from the classical music world is doing other genres...because as a classical musician [generally speaking], are quite insular of what they listen to, what music they expose themselves to, what music they play"
    that's actually my main reason why i find her videos so interesting! it's so refreshing to see a classically trained pianist like myself to be able to appreciate and write music that is outside of the classical music world.

    Ok, you said it - “insular” yes, exactly why you’re so interesting, among many other things!
    This is by far my favorite video on your channel because it explains a lot about you so I can stop asking stupid stalky questions! (Sorry!)
    But I really can tell before you told it, that indeed you love music more than piano, and that you like listening/writing more than playing. I’m quite similar in that way too- though I stopped classical piano after Juilliard pre-c, I felt in some ways my truer musicianship journey “began” as I dabbled in many other aspects like arranging and directing. I’m sure you can relate. End state is an exciting to think about, but we all are benefiting immensely from your love of music. End of rant, thanks for this video and keep it up!

    I forgot what was Nahre's first video that I watch 😅 (most probably the "How to play like (insert composer name)" (I knew not the exact series title 😫😫🙈), or maybe the (insert genre) as digested by a classical pianist 🤔🤔) but it is such a delight to watch her here on UA-cam develop and flourish 💙💙😭😭🎹

    No doubt at the 3 min mark the cam op is silently excited that such an awesome frame aligned itself so nicely.
