    I had more nerves than usual because this was my first time telling all of you that I'm competing right from the beginning, but I got over them! Hope you enjoy walking with me through the day of audition for Young Artists Foundation in Hanover :)

    Sleepy fingers? My goodness, compared to that, mine are in a coma, even after two hours of practice.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! i’ve had some horrible experiences freezing up during my performances at competitions and i’ve been really struggling with nerves for about 5 years now, so it’s great to hear your advice especially since my piano teacher and i watch your performances ALL the time. you’re the only person we’ll watch for inspiration🤣✨💛

    Congratulations, Tiffany! The Chopin Ballade No. 1 in G minor is my all-time favorite piece and you played it beautifully!

  • @kiaraeijo
    @kiaraeijo 6 років тому +21

    As my undergrad piano teacher use to say “Relax! You’re gonna be fine!” There was another occasion I was rehearsing with him for juries because he was my pianist and at the end of the rehearsal, he said “You’re gonna be fine! I don’t know why you’re getting scared” I’m sure you killed it! I want to let you know that I love how you play 😃❤️🎼🎶

    Watching your videos always brings back memories from my younger days when I used to compete for nationals and it was a HECTIC time so I really understand this whole emotional roller coaster. I didn't used to be able to sleep before auditions and I was a complete wreck cuz I'm already a nervous person. I knew I wasn't cut out to perform under pressure but it's always been a dream of mine to play in an orchestra though hehe. I love watching your videos and relive some of these moments. Wish you all the best Tiffany! Knock 'em dead!

  • @bereabeard

    You keep meeting new challenges and overcoming them! New schools, new cities, auditions, concerts, even making vlogs and speaking to a phone in public! If you can do it, we all should all at least be challenging ourselves.
    You. Are. Inspiring! 💙

    You're really amazing Tiffany! I don't mean just because of your great talent, but also because you're very simple and humble, and you show yourself as you're, without filters or masks. So glad that I found your channel. Thanks for sharing a part of your life with us 🙂

    You are an inspiration to me. I’m 15 and have been playing for nine years, yet I feel like I’ve been losing interest, like it’s an old childhood hobby. i am trying to rekindle my passion for the piano and you have helped me so much. and you’re so beautiful, especially when you play the piano❤️ -S

  • @Rljlsl1985
    @Rljlsl1985 5 років тому +4

    When you sit down on that piano at the very beginning. It’s like magic the sounds and speed and combination that you have.

  • @abbynywong
    @abbynywong 5 років тому +13

    The Steinway at my school has the same issue. I had to accompany my friend who is a bassist at a student recital and I had issues with the Steinway. It was supposed to be opened half-lid but it was opened full-lid at the end😂 I had so much trouble adjusting to the acoustics and the piano so that I don't overpower the double bass, which was one of my main issues accompanying cos I was used to accompany loud brass instruments😂😂😂😂😂 So glad the balance came out just in place.

    The key to overcoming nerves is lots of duckies! I'd be curious to see you talk about what you find to be the ideal level of mental focus to have while playing at your best. Does it fall into an intuitive state or a more concentrated high focus state?

    How wonderful that you share these intimate experiences... at my first public performance I discovered what "Tunnel Vision" is.....gaping darkness. After rehearsing on a digital piano, sitting down to a grand piano in front of the public was a "learning experience". After the first 2 measures my thought was "who is this monster trying to slay me!"...in the end the crowd was oblivious. I can only imagine multiplying all of that stress x100 for a competition!!!...it takes the personal experience of getting up on stage to really appreciate the gifted artist!❤

  • @DrQuizzler

    Congratulations to you on your scholarship! Your fans around the world are so happy and proud of you! Anyway, I'm 36 years old, from USA but now live in Chongqing, China, and I've played piano since I was kid and still play it on and off throughout my life. Piano, and music for that matter, has been one of my life's passions though I don't play it competitively but more as a hobby. I never got anywhere to the level near you or the pianists you're up against with and I've always thought that music shouldn't be all about competition. Music should be enjoyed by everyone and what may sound like junk to one person may sound like the voice of God to another. In the world of competitive music, it can be a very competitive and sometimes very cruel. Nonetheless, you're a young and truly talented person and there's a big future for you ahead. Your hard work and strong determination will pay off soon! Good luck! 加油!

  • @john-patrickdickson9663
    @john-patrickdickson9663 6 років тому +1

    We heard the last few phrases of Chopin’s first Ballade. Because of the pedal, all of the carefully written notes got blurred and mixed up.
    I played this at a concert in Derby, England in May 1946 and did the same thing for ‘Bravura Effect’ and got boiling oil from my patron.
    So I practiced it without the pedal in mini waves of sound and realized what a lot of different sounds there are to choose from.
    There are no limits to the way you can perform, even if the audience throw eggs at you, you can go home and play the performance you want to at that moment, either following the written directions or make up your own. There is life and emotion in every performance. Wonderful music infinite.

    • @dibaldgyfm9933
      @dibaldgyfm9933 4 роки тому

      I do not think there was overuse of the (right) pedal. The room ambience/echo may have blurred something, but to me on these speakers it sounded fine, actually wonderfully expressive!
