Thanks for your kind comment Leuvre! I’ve just got to get the Grade VII & VIII pieces out of the way next, so that will be keeping me busy for the next few weeks!
Sean Sew Always choose the piece you like the most - then work really hard at it! You’ll probably be playing your exam pieces for quite a while so you may as well play the one that gives you the most joy to listen to!
@@masterkeyz959 Yes, for my 4th piece, my teacher let me choose between A2 or A3, I chose A2 even though I am very bad at jumps, accidentals and fingering but I chose it because it sounds much more interesting and more fun to play compared to A3
If you have a hard time deciding, you could just play all of them and decide which is best for the exam! I play the piano a LOT so I like to play all the songs in the ABRSM book! 😂
Is it just me but in the Abrsm book the piece is slightly different than the one in this video. In my book it has some quick notes played before the actual note (acciaccatura is the musical term I think) so I’m confused whether the version in this video is correct
You have to be able to work out any rhythm instantly and that makes a huge difference. It’s even more important than note reading. A good exercise is to sit at a table and read a piece of piano sheet-music without playing it. Just try tapping the rhythms of the treble and bass parts with your hands and see how accurate you are. No instrument! You can tap on your knees if you prefer. I have an idea for a great sight reading app, but I don’t know any app developers. If you still find note reading difficult there is a very good app that can help you practise quick note recognition called: “Music Tutor”. My students always improve once they start using this app. Keep playing as many styles of music as you can and be patient. I didn’t feel my sight reading was any good until after I did my Grade VIII. The Ragtime pieces of Scott Joplin are particularly good to learn for note-reading practise because they incorporate chords and syncopation. They are also often in flat keys and are great fun to play. (I have recorded many of them on this channel) Good luck and if you need any more advice please ask anytime!
Thanks! I always say it’s not “how much” you practice each day, but HOW you practice that makes all the difference. I don’t have any particular rule for how long to practise, but I’m lucky that I can learn music pretty quickly because I’ve been playing a long time. Personally I always find the best trick when practicing is to play the music much slower but at a steady tempo - often with a click track / or metronome - and also to memorise as much as possible - especially the harder bars. Maybe one day I’ll do a special series of videos where I’ll share my own tips and tricks for learning pieces easily and quickly.
Absolutely! Grades 1 - 7 for ABRSM piano exams 2023 & 2024 have already now been recorded and are in the process of being gradually uploaded to this channel. So far about 50 of the new exam pieces have actually been uploaded here, from Intial Grade up to Grade 4 - with the new Grade 5 pieces currently being processed and uploaded! Look for the most recent uploads and you’ll see. All the new Grade 8 pieces from the new book will also come later this summer, so stay tuned!
Yes! There are many things you can do to develop the skill of playing along with a metronome. A good first exercise is to practise playing a five-note scale (in any key you like) hands separately with a metronome set at 75bpm. Just play steady quavers (i.e. 2 notes per beat) Then try playing playing a standard 8-note scale as quavers (still with 2 notes per beat) Make sure you can do that really well and then try playing semiquavers to the same beat (i.e. 4 notes per beat) keep gradually increasing the tempo until you can play in time with the metronome. Work a lot on hands separately, then hands together. Make sure your left hand gets really good, because it’s often the left hand which is the “time keeper” in classical music, especially if you are playing lots of broken chords (like Alberti Bass) in the left hand. Both the music of Haydn and Mozart feature Alberti left hand bass parts. You can then try the same approach with arpeggios. Maybe try playing the just the left hand part from the beginning of the piece with the metronome, so you can really make sure your bass part is really solid. Always take it slow and steady when practising with a metronome until you can master it! Also make sure you use a digital metronome - there are many great apps for this. (The old mechanical metronomes are usually rubbish!)
Thanks! I use a Yamaha Montage 08 (but only as a midi keyboard) - the actual piano ‘sound’ comes from a VST plug-in called Garritan. It’s a pretty good sounding piano and seems to work with whatever style is played. There are many other good piano sounds on Garritan too, but I tend to use the “default classic 00”
I can already hear my teacher telling me i play my left hand too loud
same xd
same lol
Me too
I left handed
lololol so this is a common problem?
This is really helping me a lot playing this piece
I always love the tempo on your pieces..👍🏿👍🏿
Super nice! I like those ABRSM pieces. You play them really well.
