Graham: The pedal is something that we can get too reliant on.
Me: Busted.
Yeah .. I used to do that too but then I realized that it's just another complication you can do without at least until you have the notes secure. Trouble is it takes self discipline and pedal can be too tempting!
You said nothing about fingering. Admittedly in the chosen pieces the fingering was pretty clear. But what about when it is not so obvious?
@@michaeltraub3614 The fingering is essential to work out right at the outset. First cab off the rank, as they say. Sometimes you need to search a bit for scores that have fingering and then you need to make sure your fingers can work with the recommended placements. Good luck!
This man is just the best - Sir Graham thank you so much. You’ve been a friend to me in spirit in these lonely lockdown months. Truly!
Emily, what a beautiful eulogy to Maestro Fitch! He is a fabulous pedagog, and such a pleasant gentleman!
I agree.
Hey!
We've missed you Graham
Graham, I am a teacher from Calgary, in the midst of teaching a Pedagogy course. You have been so helpful and I really appreciate your information
This makes me want to go practice
What a systematic and comprehensive approach Sir Graham. Thank you for this. It's really useful.
Your analysis, guidance and insights are always truly inspirational. Thank you.
notes, fingering, timing at the speed of no mistakes is the truth
Oh, yeah! This is what I like about relearning to play in my 70s-- going slowly, one hand, one bar at a time--is the preferred way to learn and practice a new piece. So meditative!!
So encouraging as always! Inspiring, generous and some very valuable technical advice - thank you !
So appreciated the simplicity and clarity in your instruction. It should be a Universal Model for us all. Thank you so much.
Thank you Graham for sharing these videos with everyone. They are so useful!! Kind regards from Argentina
Like Graham’s illustrations about the golfer not just aimlessly striking balls great reminder.
This is so useful and constructive, both for my own playing and my teaching. Consistent fingering and de-constructing a piece are both major challenges for some of my pupils...
This is gold 🎉
So helpful. Thank you.
Very inspirational.
Really appreciated this
Thank you for this.
And thanks to you for teaching us.
Great tips!
Excellent advice. Thank you!
Very valuable, clear and enjoyable!
Impeccable as usual
Marvelous!
Many thanks for the excellent pieces of advice.
Great Stuff!!!
Thank you Sir, that's so much great information
Thank you!
Rock-solid approach and explanation!
Really useful, as usual.
Thank you for your video which I found very useful and you explained everything so well. I’m hoping I will find more of your videos. I have subscribed so hopefully there will be more I can watch and learn.
Thank you!!!!! This helps me and thank you for that.
Thank you for your video !
You have given me a lot of great ideas for learning new pieces .
This is very useful and helpful !
Teacher Graham,
Thank you very much !
Very good advice in this Graham, this inspired me to give Arabesque a try and I'm glad I did - it really is a pretty piece.
So fine !
Just brilliant Graham and the Gkuck piece is beautiful. I am VERY happy to pay each month for "The Pianist" and have done for a couple of years. Long may it and your advice and short tutorials continue.
Very helpful video. Like the loud shirt, too!
Inspirational
Thanks !!
Excellent advice; it ought to be evident that the would-be pianist must be prepared to devote time, effort and patient application.
Brilliant. I need to take it much more slowly.
I live the concept of studying the piece from several perspectives before touching the piano.
I live the concept of the planned stop.
Will be giving it all a go.
Thank you sim much
You play so Beautifully.
When this 'madness' is over you must have a MasterClass in person, somewhere wonderful.
I have just found you-Thank you so much for this video series. It is very enlightening! Take care.
Good ideas about controlled stops as practice scaffolding
Great!💯🙋♂️
Thanks - ABRSM new syllabus about to wear us all out!
I like the idea delaying going to the piano. This will be the first time I try it when my book arrives
I have compared the new syllabus yesterday and didn’t find the selection on my level much better than the 2019-2020 syllabus.
I am starting the Brahms intermezzo op 118 #2. This is so helpful! XOXO
Just excellent. My teacher would agree with nearly everything.
Thank you very much for sharing your musical wisdom! I would really appreciate if we could see your performance from up above to clarify better your musical ideas. Kind regards.
Just in time! I’m learning a new piece. :D
Same for me ! Are you learning bass ? D.504 ? 2SetViolin?
@@WingSun Hi! A piece from the Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach (Polonaise BWV Anh. 119) and a piece from the grade 3 ABRSM exam book.
Lol! I'm a subscriber to those two channels. They're awesome! :D
where do you buy your shirts?
great lesson btw
What is the name of the piece played in the intro?
I'm still struggling with Czerny's Etudes de Mecanisme.
I am a follower of pianosecrets and he said this exact same thing on his Arabesque tutorial. Lol
Do you start HT in the video , no HS ?
Hi where do you have the sheet music for Orfeo? You seem to be in a different key with base then the original which sounds amazing
Sounds like he said it’s a Siloti arrangement.
Sir When you play looking at musical score, I don’t know if the score is shown at bottom without obtrusion so that we understand the locational point of note that is being played. If that would be possible, I think it will be better for a person like me !
What song is in the intro?
Nice,but if I am such a beginner lacking enough theory to see all those chords or building blocks?
And on top of that the fingers,notes and rhythm just are not there because I am a beginner …
What is the solution,what do I or my teachers do wrong here that I am always in this situation ?
awesome, Having just this problem now..stuck in the beginning of the piece, and can't coordinate the fingering.. like the analogy at the end about the golfer.
Maybe memorse one bar of the LH to the downbeat of next measure. Then the right hand, just memorise it. Then play hands together. This solidifies hand coordination. If you are very advanced you can work backwards. The last bar of the passage memorise H S, then play together, then learn the preceding bar.
What’s the name of the piece in the beginning because that’s basically what I’ll learn after this video
I’d like to know that as well.
On this video 0:37
GLUCK MELODIE from ORFEO ed EURIDICE
Piece name at the beginning?
Glück/Siloti melody from Orpheus
First to comment!!
good for you
Sir dialog over,few study🙏
I was wondering if maybe in another video we would be able to see your true process in which you apply your knowledge to playing a piece that you have never played before, rather than playing a piece you and many others already know.
I'm always comforted when it's not that 145 or Taco Bell

I am a beginner pianist. Nevertheless, your brilliant analysis is the same methodology I could use to learn a simple beginner piece such as Claire De Lune or Tempest. I've got so much to look forward to. Thank you 👍
I thought Clare de Lune was an ABRSM grade 8 piece, hats off and good work to you if you can play it.
Tempest Sonata? I wouldn’t define that as beginner
Neither of those are beginner pieces.
