    =======================================
    Breathe is the second track from Greg Maroney's brilliant Wind Chimes cd.
    Man, this one kicked my butt all over town and back again!
    Seriously, though, it was worth it as it is one of the stand outs on the cd for me and I'm thrilled to have gotten it to the point of capturing a decent take of it. I found that learning the notes wasn't too difficult as it flows together quite nicely but getting it up to speed was the challenge and took a lot of hours of practice to get there!

    Your story is truly inspiring. and im glad it made your day. you deserve to have a big head. i couldn't imagine how hard it was to learn this. i never took the time to learn to read music... and i honestly thought it was too late for me to even try.. but hearing your story makes me want to learn that much more. nothing is ever impossible, and you are living proof!

    You are truly amazing. I have had the desire to learn and play the piano for a long time. But with my daily lifestyle it's been hard and I thought it was pretty much impossible. I started to loose that motive and ended up forgetting the beauty of piano music. But thanks to you and your inspiring story. It has given me an even stronger motive as well as new and better perspective towards music. Thank you so much.

    How have you managed to learn all of that without needing to look at the sheet? I mean, I'm learning it right now and it's one of the most marvelous pieces I've ever played but it's 13 pages long! Wow you're incredible and you have played this so beautifully that I can't stop listening to it. *.*

    • @cgyan1
      @cgyan1  9 років тому +18

      Haha, thanks, Elma! Yes it is pretty long but there are repeated sections which helps. Other than that it was just a lot of practise and I've got a pretty good memory anyway so I find it quite easy to memorise sheets of pieces that I'm learning. Thanks for watching!

      Speaking from experience I find that "learning" a piece isn't the same as being able to truly play it. When you are able to truly capture the emotion of the piece you will find you no longer need sheet music.... you can feel what needs to be played. This is true artistry and you should be applauded.

    • @peanutbutter9778
      @peanutbutter9778 3 роки тому +2

      @@ianmastin I agree, I know many songs, with most being my own. Learning a song and being able to play it through is different than just playing it from your heart. Like being forced to play piano is different than wanting to learn it. If you’re forced to do something, there is no ambition, though when it’s of your own will you play from your heart because it’s your passion.

    Yeah you did it, alright! I was holding my breath until I realised, you're crazy :D ...that was angelic. I would be jealous if I didn't know how much time and heart you put into this song, it payed off 100fold. Some parts were different from what I expected but no bad surprise. Love your timing and accentuation. Your left hand looked really professionell, thought so especially at 1:24 teehee. Near the end I thought you'd be losing your concentration but you caught it again, good job!

    This is an amazing song, I can play most of it and I’m 16 years old. I have been playing piano for I think around 6 years. I can probably play about half of it. By the way, did you use a MIDI Cable? The piano sounds amazing and it wasn’t rushed. Sometimes when I play it, I tend to rush it, you don’t!
    Thanks from fellow pianist,

    I am 30 and just started 4 weeks ago. excited at the fact that its possible to get this good. I also have the same piano as you. was wondering if you use any external speakers/monitor and do you ever connect to your computer etc. also do you have a book or anything you recommend to the older beginner? I have been playing guitar for about 15 years and feel like I am progressing really fast. also, do you have any sheet music youd like to pass a long that helped you get better.
    thanks

    • @Ten4Andriy
      @Ten4Andriy 7 років тому +1

      It's likely just a built-in sound on the electronic piano, as opposed to an effect done afterwards. The piano, by the looks of it, is the Yamaha Arius, probably the YDP-143.

    • @Ten4Andriy
      @Ten4Andriy 7 років тому +2

      Whilst I'm not Iain Hemstock himself, I'd think it's likely he records the sound on the electronic piano, and records the video simultaneously, then transfers the files onto a computer and syncs them. Electronic pianos can record and then you can hook it up to a laptop or something then get the recorded files off of it.

    There was a doctor who was struck by lightening and died for about 20 minutes. When he came back, he was possessed by a desire to play the piano even though he never had had any prior interest in it . He practiced so much, his wife left him and he started showing up late for work. He quit his job in medicine, so important it was to him to practice 24-7. In a year, he sounded like he'd been playing all his life; in two, he sounded like a concert pianist. Sound familiar?
