Thank you very much. I will be watching this multiple times. Very helpful marking the sheet music. This makes it easier to follow your thought process.
Thank you so much Daria! I am just about ready to get a keyboard and I find your videos so helpful and encouraging. I will also need some music so could you share which book you are using in this video (or any other you would recommend to begin)?
Hmm..good question. And hard to answer. I don't think I have preference for a particular brand , I like to approach each piano individually. Some Steinway we have at school I don't like at all, and I like one of the Yamaha's a lot. But there are a couple Steinways here I really like, and one Yamaha I don't like so much. Even when it comes to Kawaii, I say I don't prefer the mellow sound, yet some Shigeru Kawai I played on sounds very nice. I have played on a sublime sounding $300K Steinway once, and it sounded otherworldly. But I also tried a Petrof grand once that I thought sounded even better ( I would love to own a Petrof one day, maybe at least an upright). My ultimate dream piano is Yamaha CFX, but I never tried it in person. Who knows, maybe I will be disappointed. But judging by what I have heard other wonderful musicians do on a CFX I think it sounds perfect to me. Sorry for the long answer, haha. Each piano is unique:)
All these tips are so true. Do you have any tips for ensemble playing? I’ve found that sight reading music written for the piano as a general rule much easier than sight reading as an ensemble player/ accompanist. Also, at least in some of these accompanist piano scores the piano part is not even arranged by a pianist and is written in a clumsy way for the pianist. How inconsiderate, sometimes I change my part to suit a pianist! I’m curious if you have any thoughts and suggestions for the accompanist. Thank you Daria, hope all is well. ❤
Thank you so much for your comment and question! Sorry for my slow reply. It is a great topic and I will make a short video on it soon, to answer your question better.:) and yes, I totally understand the frustration of playing something so awkward for a pianist, when non pianist write or arrange the music . One of my colleagues at school is making a dissertation on piano reductions and how pianist-not-friendly they often are and how to make them better.
Yes, thank you so much. I would be interested in reading her dissertation, no kidding!!! And I am looking forward to your video addressing this topic. Think about it, Beethoven’s Spring Sonata for Violin and Piano fits into the pianist’s hands better than a much shorter and easier piece but a non pianist arranged it making particular sections needlessly awkward. Not a bad topic for a dissertation.
@@jacquelinerubin8274 imagine that! This is exactly the piece I'm learning right now:)😃 it's a guy actually writing the dissertation , maybe I should interview him on this interesting topic sometime;)
It’s a beautiful piece and not too difficult. I played it many years ago on a toy digital keyboard with a spring action and maybe only 61 keys but I somehow managed because there was nothing else I could use at the time, we pianists can’t carry our pianos on our backs. I used my imagination to hear how it should really sound while I was playing. At least I have actual keyboard instruments to perform on now😂😂😂.
Thank you very much for your videos! I just found your channel, I'm so glad - it's so helpful for me as a beginner. ❤
I'm so glad it is helpful to you!! 😃🙏

It's so good but how can I practice scales, how much time should I use
Great tips. By the way, when it comes to grand pianos, do you prefer the sound of Yamaha or Steinway? 😊
