this is so counterintuitive but somehow feels right. Definitely not how I practice but I'll start to work that way. Your teachings are always so inspiring
Huevos rancheros! Thanks so much for this - deep, most of it totally new to me (even after more than seven decades of playing the piano!) Am going to start outlining my Bach first thing in the morning! I came to your channel to find things to help me teach my students, but i find i'm teaching myself instead (actually you are, in absentia). I first heard you play in Amstrdm in Paso Robles several years ago, been a fan ever since. But your teachings totally rock!
Hey! I love playing in Paso, but I miss being able to come up and play solo piano at Amstrdm and then go over to the big room at LIbretto. I hope you loved outlining the Bach!
Huevos rancheros! Great presentations. Thank you so much for doing these! Will be rewatching. 👍 Btw I think you have reversed the keys to navigating the presentations. The key listed for part 2 is actually the key for part 1 and vice-versa.
Hmm... interesting! So, our modern instruments are so specialized that they use too few parts of the body for us to really understand the music? We need to return to clapping, dancing, singing, swaying first!... then go to the keyboard. Love the monster movie pix of you at the end ... an enduring image for all of us. HA!
I fully understand that this is all for relatively advanced students of music but I am wondering how the beginners (including those approaching intermediate level) should be taught to play piano. All the teachers I had always emphasized technique and adherence to the score (sheet music). This includes online schools such as Tonebase and ArtistWorks. What I am really asking is where the bridge linking classical music beginner education and this type of thinking about playing music is. I have been trying (probably not hard enough) for the last half a year to transition to jazz but it is difficult for me because there is really no beginner jazz education (especially for those who started by learning classical music pieces). Thank you. Michael
Hi Michael! In terms of "no beginner jazz education" I'd like to think that my book, Jazz Piano Fundamentals, is beginner jazz education and I also provide a course at my community college which It think is good beginner jazz education. If you mean trying to play jazz before you play the piano, that doesn't really work. That's like trying to learn to write sonnets before you speak English. You've got to have a certain mastery over the medium. In terms of the "bridge linking classical music beginner education and this type of thinking," I think various schools of thought do in corporate it, particularly Marilyn Lowe's "Music Moves for Piano," but also Kodaly, the Suzuki method, and the Yamaha method (although that's mostly geared towards kids). I think it's definitely out there!

This and part 1 were so eye opening and super cool, I'm excited to try some of these techniques with myself and students! Thanks!

Yes you overloaded my speakers but also my brain, in a good way of course!
Haha, sorry! And...you're welcome?

These are both excellent. I hope there's a part 3!
I’m glad you like it! (Don’t get your hopes up for a part three but I might talk about some other related stuff soon)
great stuff ! thanks ! martin
I'm so happy! This stuff is close to my heart!
I gotta catch this later when I can pay better attention. Part 1 was great.
Yes, part one is a must-watch. 🎹
Aw, thanks, guys! This is close to my heart, so I'm glad you're checking it out.
Hi, what's the name of the Chopin's piece you play at 11:03 ? Thx for both videos, very interesting approaching in piano expression
Probably Nocturne Op. 9, No. 1
So many gems here! Thanks, Jeremy!
Yay, I'm glad to hear it! Thanks so much for watching!

I’d frame it slightly differently. Maybe that all of the details of playing an instrument can take our focus away from the music.
