@@TiffanyPoonpianist LOL! Not a problem. I missed your Chinese name, which is more of a whoops, difficult to understand the sounds. But interesting that you have Chinese and English names! ❤ Clever decision.
Her name is 潘活活. Pronounced as Poon Would Would (without the d's) in Cantonese, and Pan Huo Huo in Mandarin Pinyin. 潘 is the surnamce, and the given name 活活 means "alive, alive". Indeed she is living up to her name given by her parents.

I started violin in 5th grade too!! But wow 67 years? That's amazing!! I am 14 and I quit violin a few months ago and cuz I have been at it on and off ever since I started. I decided that violin isn't for me and got a piano a few days ago and I'm giving that a try. You are amazing for going at it for decades!!!

Tiffany, you're so gifted, yet so normal! I think you are thankful for your gifts. Most people can't play any musical instrument, yet you were a child prodigy. You have multilingual skills. Most people can speak only one. You are wiser than your years yet some people never mature. Best wishes for a brilliant career. Surely you will only get better.
I am a 68 year old man and I decided to learn to play and sing easy songs w/guitar so I could sing and play for my wife who has Alzheimers disease. I don't read music so I downloaded an image showing the finger positions for a dozen or so chords and now I know most of them pretty well. I can now do Country Roads, Summertime, Ghost Riders in The Sky, Amazing Grace, How Great thou Art. Plus sometimes I just sit w/guitar and improvise little melodies. My wife seems to like it sometimes though it's hard to know.
I am almost 79 and you inspire me to use the talents i have been blessed with and to develop the talents i know i have inside me somewhere. thanks for your love for music and life.
I have an undergraduate degree in theology, and I'm currently pursuing a master's degree in TESOL. In another life I would have been a concert pianist! Concert pianists are truly inspirational!
Some facts about me: ~I am from Hong Kong ~I play the piano (just a hobby) and wish to be an accompanist ~I used to think and talk about life and death ~My favourite anime is about classical music ("You lie in April") ~一直以為你係外國人因為你既英文好流利 (你唔講我都唔知:D) ~ 聽你講小學做班長個part令我都好懷念小學 ~好中意睇你彈琴，加油啊
You are adorable. What is the vlog you follow? You're enthusiasm is contagious. It's funny. You said, your mother lived with you. Most youngsters would have said they lived with their mother. Love to you. Stay healthy.
I'm a computer programmer who started to play some piano a couple of years ago. I bought an acoustic upright piano last year. I'm from the city of Edvard Grieg. You really should take a trip. Bergen and Norway is a nice place to visit. I'm 45. So I'm a fairly late beginner in piano. I'm not taking any classes. But I watch TH-cam videos to get me inspired.
Just saw your comment. It always amazes me when i see People like you, who dont just get lazy in age, but always try what they want !:) But i would recommend you to get a Piano Teacher if you want to keep playing! For many classical pieces and generally as a beginner its super important to have a guide 😉
@@LuxuFoo Progression is in no way fast. But for me it is the road that is the important thing. I have not very strict goals with my piano practise. And every person will have different progress dependent on dedication, and goals. But I try to get some piano playing in almost each day. But it varies much how much I play. I'm not forcing it. It has to be fun.
Having watched, and loved, several of your piano videos, I really enjoyed this vlog. I have subscribed, so I'll look forward to seeing more of you. I'm almost 70, and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I taught English in mainland China for 6 years until a year ago, and I have visited Hong Kong several times, and loved the wonderful harbour and the incredible busy-ness of the whole city. I have also visited New York City! I learnt piano for several years when I was a kid, but thanks to my short, stubby fingers I could never become the master pianist my mother had hoped I would. However, I used to play the piano to teach my primary school students various songs when I was a teacher in primary schools.
Fact # 1 - I love to watch all of your vlogs. I could hear you practicing for days. I studied music in Germany, and listening to musicians practicing makes me happy.
You don't have a degree in music? I use that as an excuse! (: But passion makes it all! I am a psychologist and I want to go as far as possible with playing the piano! With 8 years of musical school without ANY technique tought at that time, I try to find out how my playing will sound like in the years to come! You are the inspiration in finding that expression through music is not only for "the chosen ones" , but also for those chosing to approach it with passion and discipline! I am so blessed to learn from people like you! Thank you for sharing with us the music and your personal thoughts!
Having a degree from a formal institution means NOTHING if you are a musical performer. Moreover, there are many, many, many musicians, many of whom you've heard and admired who do not and cannot even read music much less play their instruments at virtuoso level. Then again there are many, many, many virtuosi who play who also cannot read music. You see, it's all about the soul and the center of an artist and having the gumption to expose their talent to the world. Tiffany has talent. She has touch. She has a spirit and connectedness to the music few performers have. She is authentic and THIS is what I think will make her outstanding. This and the sheer will to get past all the political and business bullshit of a professional artistic career. I wish her all the luck in the world and we should enjoy her artistry.
El Mission she may not have a degree of music on paper but she was on a pre-college program in Juilliard when she was a kid. Pretty sure that’s why she and her mom moved to new york
I'm 64 - hold a BS - my music pail has a hole in it - do not listen to much music - love hearing/learning about things/people. Your Steinway videos caught my attention - so looked at a few more videos of yours. You are an amazing person, and I have spent the last 3 hours watching some of your videos - so glad you are willing to share - thank you.
Fun fact about me - I play the harp so sometimes, when I'm all alone in a room with a grand piano, I just open the lid, step on the sustain pedal and play the strings inside as I would play a harp :D also, I find your videos so cheerful and nice, they really help me motivate myself to practice more while keeping sane, especially now that I have a big harp competition coming up. Thank you!
Thank you, Tiffany the Brave! and greetings from me in South Africa. I am a 68-year old reader and writer and have been playing the classical guitar since my 20th year, when I seriously got on to that Mt. Insurmountable! Love your magical Vlogs.
Facts about me: 1. I used to diligently play piano (good 3 hours every day even during my high school and exam seasons) 2. I’ve been playing piano since I was 3 so it’s my 19th year this year (yeah crazy) 3. I’m very blessed to own 2 Steinway pianos (upright and grand. They are both wooden and it’s amazing both aesthetically and as an instrument) 4. Reading through you may think I play very well but unfortunately I’m not as good as you think or at least what I used to be (university and just not being motivated to get lessons anymore) but I am hoping to pick up again soon when things settle down. 5. My all time favourite is Bunin playing Chopin polonaise for the International Chopin Piano Competition. Although he was the youngest contestant in that group I think he’s performance is so amazing.
My name is Echo Huang and I found your channel yesterday! I lived in Shenzhen for 8 years before coming to the US. I learned to speak Cantonese by watching Hong Kong TV using the antenna on the balcony (back in the 80s). I live in Minnesota with my daughter and a petite Goldendoodle. I didn’t have money to learn piano growing up in China until I took my first piano class when I went to college in the US and bought my first piano right after September 11, 2001. I have taken lessons on and off for 20 some years. I passed level 4 a few years ago but stopped playing when Covid started. I decided to restart on September 11 this year and chose to learn Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata First Movement. I have enjoyed your videos very much! Thank you for sharing your talents and stories! 💜👍
I am currently an interior design student, that is also intensively learning how to compose! (Imagine having to chase hectic deadlines, and failing at time management). Also, I have great interests in the sciences, especially physics, great fun knowing how to world works, you also become less afraid of the otherwise natural occurences of the world! I also enjoy long walks, and I mean long walks, very long walks, I have spent an afternoon to night, one time, circling my neighbourhood.
Fact#1: I started playing the piano in 2017 at the age of 47 Fact#2: i play on a digital piano with semi weighted keys (p-115 and c-135) Fact#3: you are my long distance mentor and teacher. Fact#4: philosophy is my other new passion I picked up at the age if 44. Fact#5: you are AWESOME and inspirational
@@thelibertymomma8304 lowkey, same tho. I mean, how could you not love her? when the last time you seen a girl this wholesome lol i say as long as hes not getting obsessed or randomly donating 5000$ on patreon for no reason, there's nothing wrong with it
Hi there!!! My name is Edward, I am a retired classical symphony horn player, lived in Europe and Middle East, and now write music for jingle and documentaries. I started piano at 3, and took seriously until I decided to go with French Horn. It’s great to get to know you through your vlog. My favorite pieces to perform in college were Ondine and Prokofiev sonata 3.
I just recently came across your TH-cam channel and instantly became a fan...maybe your oldest fan. I'm 84. Okay. Fact about me. The first piece I heard you play was Liebestraum on Wagner's piano and the beauty of your playing brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Hi Tiffany I have been following your career on TH-cam for a while now. It is good to see a fellow Hong Konger making a career as a concrete pianist - my dream job! You are so talented! Love your playing.
fact: I play organ and piano, and your vidoes have taught me that you can both have fun and be productive at the same time. Learning to enjoy practice really made a difference for me:))
Fact: I played 3rd clarinet in a symphony of Holt's The Planets on the eve of my 55th birthday. It was my first symphony and I was 54 at the time and happy with my performance.
I coached swimming for many years and one of my athletes was Tara Koff who swam for and graduated from Columbia University a few years ago then went to Chiropractic School and became Dr. Koff and is now working as a Chiropractor with her father in Manassas, Va. which is only 30 minutes away from the Kennedy Center for the Preforming Arts.
I've noticed that some of you have asked for her Chinese name and pronunciation. Her Chinese name is 潘活活. Pronounce it as Poon Would Would (without the d's) in Cantonese, and Pan Huo Huo in Mandarin (using Pinyin spelling). 潘 is the surname, and 活活 the given name. 活活 means "Alive Alive", and by extension cheerful, happy, lively, or cheerful and happy, or living happily. And indeed she is living up to her name given by her parents. She is an inspiration to all of us.
1:50 Me too! I have already started... although it's utterly difficult because there no one (other than the German embassy here) with whom I can have a conversation in German.
I love that you did 50 facts rather than 10 or even 20! That definitely says something snoring your personality. Very fun! My fact is that I’m a barrister by day but a magician and mind-reader by night at parties and events. 😎
I have played in a concert in the Hong Kong concert hall (in Kowloon). Probably before you were born! (1995) (also Beijing, which was broadcast on national radio, Shanghai, and Guangzhou). And, on another tour with another orchestra, in the Sydney opera house. I have also worked in digital marketing/seo (as a web developer). Oh the concerts were playing double bass in an orchestra, but I also play piano. I don’t have a piano at home right now so I go to the library where they have a digital piano available to play. I am also teaching myself viola, and working on a website for another classical musician, and writing Wikipedia articles. I DO have a degree in music but have never worked as a musician or in a field related to music.
Facts about me: retired professor of Historical Musicology and a classical pianist (not NEARLY) as talented as you! LIfe long New York City resident. Chopin is the reason I had a career in music. I play tennis and golf.
I am a self learning amateur player but I learned Chopin Waltz 69 No2 and Waltz 64 No2 JUST because I found your INCREDIBLE performances and youtube and I am a follower since then, being very much inspired by your lifestyle - always keep following doing what you love - nothing else is more important in life - you are an inspiration to me and I'm sure many more!
My fact: At the age of 24 I had a condition called focal dystonia, that paralyzed my right hand. I had to abandon my classical guitar carrer. Sad but true. Come to Costa Rica 🇨🇷 some day! Love every post from you🎵🎶 🎹
Have you heard of tatap? It's a technique to play guitar just with the left hand. It may help you to stay connected with the guitar, even if you don't make your living with it.
Edgbarra Hello! I do use my right hand with guitar plectrum, but I can’t do it with “classical” or finger style. This condition affects the fine motor skills, and not other like holding things (a pick for example). Thank you for your suggest. 🎸🎵🎵🎶
I bet you would be a fun person to spend the day with! I was born and raised, and still live in Toronto, Canada. My favourite hobbies are cars, computers, music (I play keyboards). I have an addiction to traveling, thanks to my current job.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful energy with us! I just discovered your channel and feel so inspired to keep working on my flute playing. A fun fact about me is that my family calls me “ardilla”, which means squirrel in Spanish. :D
Hi Tiffany! Since I'm early (for once) I just wanted to let you know how much you've helped me, a fellow aspiring musician/humanities student through your videos. Watching you study music and philosophy at the same time (something I've always wanted to do but wasn't sure of) has given me the courage to decide to pursue something similar in college. Your videos have also provided me with good vibes, sound advice and motivation to become a better musician/pianist. Thank you so much and wishing you all the happiness and good health ❤️❤️
Love your channel, use to play the organ when i was in my teens many moons ago, would love to pick it up again now that i am in my early 60's. love your playing..
I would have never guessed, that a pianist with a degree in Philosophy would do those kinds of internships. You are a very talented / versatile young lady. 😮😮😮😮😮
Fact about me: I get kind of obsessed with things easily, until I reach a reasonable level at them. It happened with learning English, learning Chinese, and now I'm totally obsessed with learning piano. (And I'm obsessed with watching your TH-cam videos while I don't play, but let's not tell this to anyone as it's very awkward).
One fact... huh, I went to piano classes from age 6 to 7, but i sometimes practiced in my grandma's grand 1911 piano (it is not a grand piano, it is a vertical piano but that's the brand), and then i forgot about piano. Then at age of 11 to 13 i went to piano classes again and had 2 recitals, now i learned to read music sheet oficially, but not fast, i read music at my own time and i struggle a little bit so i need to write which note it is each one when learning a new sheet of music; then i was bored on having more classes so i kept practicing but without going classes, i have a digital piano now, it is a Williams Rhapsody 2 that my parents bought me at a guitar center store. I'm actually learning by myself my 5th piano song, i chose it, it's Waltz in C#minor Op64 No2 by Frederic Chopin, i find it a masterpiece, but i think i'm going to finally learn it one month later
Thanks for sharing! 1.Keep swimming! It's great exercise and will keep you healthy your entire life. 2. A philosopher? How cool! Most people don't get around to that until they are old, and they have little time left to apply much of it. 3. If you like blueberries, come visit (North Carolina) in late June/July, and eat all you can pick. There is lots of room for guests. 4. Fun fact about me: I do video and sound. By weird twist of fate, my first professional (TV news) sound job was an interview with a guy named Barack Obama. Glad I bumped into your videos; we're both learning lots of new things. 😄🎵
Some facts about me: 1. I always seem to catch these videos at such a late point where it feels weird to comment and if I were to comment it would be lost to oblivion. 2. When I was learning piano when I was young I didnt like trying to read the sheet music, and I would always try to play by ear. 3. Because of number two I ended up quitting piano and wish now that I would have continued 4. I play saxophone pretty well but its sad not being able to play all the songs I want to with the limited range
Fun fact about me: I'm very good sight reader, and for fun my friends will often pull off random music from the music store shelf and see if I can read it (I rarely ever fail). I however have an exceptionally difficult time memorizing pieces. My current projects are Brahms Rhapsody 79/1 and Liszt Paganini Etude #2 and maybe a Hungarian Dance/Rhapsody or two - These are my two favorite composers. :D
I did not grasp or appreciate classical music until, in the early 1970's. I was invited by a friend to attend all the concerts including rehearsals at the Marlboro Music Festival for two summers for free ! Becoming immersed in live performances of well played music, experienced in the green of Vermont summers, expanded and changed my life. So lucky.
from primary school to college i was always involved in different a music club- handbells, band, string ensemble, piano. mainly because i really love the energy of musicians and learning new stuff LOL
1.In 18th August I'll be 14😃 2.Im learning Piano since almost 3 years ago 3.I can speak French like you!🤩 4.I lean with my chair during playing piano😑 5.My listening gets better when I watch you vlogs😁 6.I shy to move during playing the piano.... 7.I still love peppa pig:) 8.I enjoy spend my time in your channel!!
Tiffany, Love your posts and your personality. One cool fact about me is that while I am an engineer by training, I am an artist by heart. Besides the piano I can play chest, write poetry and paint ... in short I am still looking to find myself.
Hi Tiffany . I also play piano and have been for a couple years now but I can’t really master it . I do boxing and swimming . I’m 13 and u have inspired me in not giving up in hard piano pieces.
Facts about me? Well, I live in the Seattle, Washington area. Many years ago they had a music festival here called "Mostly Mozart". It was every year for several years and each year they had concerts around the city with various professional groups performing. Well one year they had one venue where there was a piano and it was open to anyone to play. There were seats for anyone that wanted to sit and listen. So that year I went to the venue and played a Bach prelude on that piano. So I was one of the artists for that year's Mostly Mozart celebration.
Hi, Tiffany I am a binge pianist stuck at home without a piano because I am renting an apartment, at the same time I am trying to watch pianists' videos to "play piano." Love your videos!
Some fun facts about me even though this is like a year and more late. 1. Born in USA but my parents immigrated from Hong Kong! 2. I can't read and write Chinese. (fail) 3. My grandma is 98 and lives in Hong Kong 4. I like anime but I find that most of the new shows coming out are boring, maybe I am getting bored of anime? 5. I can sleep for 20 hours or more if I wanted to.
I love piano and been playing for many years in both Montreal and Toronto. Two of my best teachers were Chinese including one from Hong Kong. They stressed the importance of building up good technique and made me feel comfortable which is so vital. I saw lots of young Chinese children coming for lessons some of whom were amazing. So, I have an Asian influence musically. I have played some recitals mostly for family and friends.
The Djembe is one of my favorite drums to play, and I’ve been playing since I was nine years old; I’m also an avid singer, but all of my favorite vocalists are the operatic sopranos from metal(Floor Jansen, Tarja, etc...) so it’s a lot when I try to sing along. 😂😂
Fun fact; I first started playing the piano during my break when I worked as a janitor at my local college. I would watch people play on TH-cam and then go practice what I saw when I got to work. Years later I enrolled at the same college and took piano classes.
Wow I hope this doesn't sound rude but you're a lot more diverse in your endeavors than I originally thought. Like idk I guess I always thought most child prodigies and ex-child prodigies just pretty much only played piano and that was it. But you seem to enjoy a lot of different things and have a pretty broad range of experience outside of music.
I am a chemical engineering student, also a Chinese, I have learned piano for 8 years and took exams before, but really bad at sight reading and listening (like you are super amazing and incredible for me)I love anime and I am a really good drawer. I took sketching (with pencil) for years so I have skills, and self learn how to use marker, colour pencil, digital art. Looking at you really inspires me to work on improving myself. You are really talent and really hard-working!
Fun facts about me: 1. I started taking voice lessons 1 year ago and I’m going to audition to enter Juilliard. *If I’m accepted (!), I wish to cross-register at Columbia so that I can take some science courses since my goal is to become a neurosurgeon as well as a professional musician. 2. Even though I’ve played the piano for almost an entire decade, I’m much better at singing. Odd right? Lol. 🤷🏻♀️ 3. Ever since I started watching your vlogs, you’ve become my role model 😊. I truly admire your great talent, eloquence, and work ethic, and hope to musically collaborate with you in the future!
Just 2 days i saw about 10 of your vlogs n performances.. then i decide start to learn piano next Jan 2020 in my half century age.. yes life begin at 50 😂😂 greetings from Jakarta. Plan to come to Jakarta ?
1. I was in Russia Volgograd in 2007 2. I started playing piano at age 11 on February 2019 and now I'm on level 7 on Royal Conservatory of Music. 3. I started playing violin at age 13 but a couple months I was forced to drop out because of Covid -19 4. I only like classical music. 5. I want to be a violinist and pianist Bonus Fact: Tiffany Poon, you're are one of my favourite pianist!!!😃😍
I could give a personal fact or three here, but it seems pointless unless and until I start a YT channel of my own (i.e., actually start making & posting vids). But since you asked, let's see . . . Well, like you, I started into music (classical) at a young age, but unlike you, I've never considered becoming a professional (really don't think I have that much talent - I do have lots of fun & enjoyment, though). My main interests since childhood have been math, astronomy, and physics. Music is up there, too. Also, we probably couldn't be much more different in age - I'm almost certainly older than your parents. Maybe closer to your grandparents. And if anything, I enjoy life more each year. Despite my years, I still feel pretty young. Here's wishing you the same positive trend with age! (Tip: Finding a good physical exercise you will like doing for a lifetime, really helps a lot! You've already got the mental exercise part - music!) Fred
You are one more of those miracles of life that is blessed to have the gift of musical talent. God blessed humanity with music and you are actually one of his messengers.
I'm enjoying your videos so much. Besides you're such an excellent pianist, you're still so normal and unpretentious. In general classical musicians are often a bit strange and old-fashioned :-) Fun fact about me: I began to love classical music, when I heard Jazz/Rock/Electronic versions of it: Swingle Singers, Emerson Lake & Palmer, W.Carlos (Switched on Bach) etc.
1 fun fact about me is I’m about to buy a yamaha p125 and start piano lessons at the age of 22 and that’s how I find your channel cause I have been looking at a lot of piano related content on TH-cam ! :)
aaaa i can't believe you're a gilmore girls fan! my mom and i have watched it like 5 times, and she calls me rory as a joke because our personalities are so similar :)
A fun fact about me? Hmm, Let me think... I got to playing the Piano in quite a similar way like you, my mother bought my sister a little pink 2 octave toy piano for her 1st (?) Birthday (i was around 6 then) and somehow i instantly loved it (more than my sister did), so after a while they got me a 61-Keys Keyboard, but very soon we upgraded to an 88-Key electric piano which i had for about 4-5 years. After that we finally decided to upgrade to an actual upright piano with a silent system and til today i love it. I'd love to have a Grand Piano, but that would be too expensive for us and we would barely have any space for one in our appartement... Also it would be great to have a Grand Piano simply because of the Sostenuto pedal... As a Hobby Composer i sometimes really would need that pedal, as for example i am currently composing a piece which is supposed to explore the sympathethic resonances of the low strings. Now i went a little bit off-topic, but Yeah, that's a fun fact about me... Greetings from Germany!😃
I used to hate how classical music sounded through headphones on planes, so I went through a period where I would just read scores to hear the music in my head when flying. Also, although I grew up playing classical piano, I stopped after college. Watching your videos has gotten me interested (and playing) again, so thank you for that!
Trees are special for sure. And the more you know about them the more rewarding. So in addition to staring at the branches, study them. There is a lot to learn. Also talk to them. They usually won't talk back but they will always listen.
Hello Poon Woot Woot I love your Chinese name!😄 I’m from Beijing but went to HK for college and stayed there for six years so I also speak Cantonese haha. Do you also speak Mandarin?😁
Tiffany, did you skip number 18? LOL
Oh gosh I DIDN'T KNOW - WHOOPS! I'll add one more fact in the next vlog

@@TiffanyPoonpianist LOL! Not a problem. I missed your Chinese name, which is more of a whoops, difficult to understand the sounds. But interesting that you have Chinese and English names! ❤ Clever decision.
Her name is 潘活活. Pronounced as Poon Would Would (without the d's) in Cantonese, and Pan Huo Huo in Mandarin Pinyin. 潘 is the surnamce, and the given name 活活 means "alive, alive". Indeed she is living up to her name given by her parents.

Tiffany, you're so gifted, yet so normal! I think you are thankful for your gifts. Most people can't play any musical instrument, yet you were a child prodigy. You have multilingual skills. Most people can speak only one. You are wiser than your years yet some people never mature. Best wishes for a brilliant career. Surely you will only get better.
Fact: I started playing self taught during the lock down at the age of 41. Your vids give me inspiration. Massive thank you 😎
"I'm a windows person, not a mac person"... well that seals it, I think I'm in love
Says she forgot almost all her French, but explains it in perfect French. :D
ExecutionSommaire why am I in love with her
It was quite far from perfect (French speaker), but she clearly knows a little!
@@jamess9579 (canadian french speaker) At least she can form a full sentence but her pronunciation is a little off but thats ok.
True,so good!
yeha she also said she had to check on google translate HAHAHAH
I am a 68 year old man and I decided to learn to play and sing easy songs w/guitar so I could sing and play for my wife who has Alzheimers disease. I don't read music so I downloaded an image showing the finger positions for a dozen or so chords and now I know most of them pretty well. I can now do Country Roads, Summertime, Ghost Riders in The Sky, Amazing Grace, How Great thou Art. Plus sometimes I just sit w/guitar and improvise little melodies. My wife seems to like it sometimes though it's hard to know.
Good for you! Your wife is blessed to have you as a husband!
Aw, nice..
I am almost 79 and you inspire me to use the talents i have been blessed with and to develop the talents i know i have inside me somewhere. thanks for your love for music and life.
I have an undergraduate degree in theology, and I'm currently pursuing a master's degree in TESOL. In another life I would have been a concert pianist! Concert pianists are truly inspirational!
Some facts about me:
~I am from Hong Kong
~I play the piano (just a hobby) and wish to be an accompanist
~I used to think and talk about life and death
~My favourite anime is about classical music ("You lie in April")
~一直以為你係外國人因為你既英文好流利 (你唔講我都唔知:D)
~ 聽你講小學做班長個part令我都好懷念小學
~好中意睇你彈琴，加油啊
You are adorable. What is the vlog you follow? You're enthusiasm is contagious. It's funny. You said, your mother lived with you. Most youngsters would have said they lived with their mother. Love to you. Stay healthy.
I'm a computer programmer who started to play some piano a couple of years ago. I bought an acoustic upright piano last year. I'm from the city of Edvard Grieg. You really should take a trip. Bergen and Norway is a nice place to visit. I'm 45. So I'm a fairly late beginner in piano. I'm not taking any classes. But I watch TH-cam videos to get me inspired.
Just saw your comment. It always amazes me when i see People like you, who dont just get lazy in age, but always try what they want !:) But i would recommend you to get a Piano Teacher if you want to keep playing! For many classical pieces and generally as a beginner its super important to have a guide 😉
Hey, I’m also a programmer/pianist! two totally different things, but i love them both.
I started at 47! I purchased two 88key semi weighted digital pianos to practice on. P-115 and a C-135. (Yamaha and Casio). I am addicted!
How's your piano progression going? Im just getting into piano at 28 myself.
@@LuxuFoo Progression is in no way fast. But for me it is the road that is the important thing. I have not very strict goals with my piano practise. And every person will have different progress dependent on dedication, and goals. But I try to get some piano playing in almost each day. But it varies much how much I play. I'm not forcing it. It has to be fun.
Fact #1 about me
- I enjoy watching Tiffany's videos
Having watched, and loved, several of your piano videos, I really enjoyed this vlog. I have subscribed, so I'll look forward to seeing more of you. I'm almost 70, and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I taught English in mainland China for 6 years until a year ago, and I have visited Hong Kong several times, and loved the wonderful harbour and the incredible busy-ness of the whole city. I have also visited New York City! I learnt piano for several years when I was a kid, but thanks to my short, stubby fingers I could never become the master pianist my mother had hoped I would. However, I used to play the piano to teach my primary school students various songs when I was a teacher in primary schools.
Fact # 1 - I love to watch all of your vlogs. I could hear you practicing for days. I studied music in Germany, and listening to musicians practicing makes me happy.
You don't have a degree in music? I use that as an excuse! (: But passion makes it all! I am a psychologist and I want to go as far as possible with playing the piano! With 8 years of musical school without ANY technique tought at that time, I try to find out how my playing will sound like in the years to come! You are the inspiration in finding that expression through music is not only for "the chosen ones" , but also for those chosing to approach it with passion and discipline! I am so blessed to learn from people like you! Thank you for sharing with us the music and your personal thoughts!
Having a degree from a formal institution means NOTHING if you are a musical performer. Moreover, there are many, many, many musicians, many of whom you've heard and admired who do not and cannot even read music much less play their instruments at virtuoso level. Then again there are many, many, many virtuosi who play who also cannot read music. You see, it's all about the soul and the center of an artist and having the gumption to expose their talent to the world. Tiffany has talent. She has touch. She has a spirit and connectedness to the music few performers have. She is authentic and THIS is what I think will make her outstanding. This and the sheer will to get past all the political and business bullshit of a professional artistic career. I wish her all the luck in the world and we should enjoy her artistry.
El Mission she may not have a degree of music on paper but she was on a pre-college program in Juilliard when she was a kid. Pretty sure that’s why she and her mom moved to new york
I'm 64 - hold a BS - my music pail has a hole in it - do not listen to much music - love hearing/learning about things/people. Your Steinway videos caught my attention - so looked at a few more videos of yours. You are an amazing person, and I have spent the last 3 hours watching some of your videos - so glad you are willing to share - thank you.
Fun fact about me - I play the harp so sometimes, when I'm all alone in a room with a grand piano, I just open the lid, step on the sustain pedal and play the strings inside as I would play a harp :D also, I find your videos so cheerful and nice, they really help me motivate myself to practice more while keeping sane, especially now that I have a big harp competition coming up. Thank you!
Thank you, Tiffany the Brave! and greetings from me in South Africa. I am a 68-year old reader and writer and have been playing the classical guitar since my 20th year, when I seriously got on to that Mt. Insurmountable! Love your magical Vlogs.
Fact number 51: I’m a pretty good piano player! Something about me? I’m a lousy piano player - but I’m dedicated to keeping my neighbours awake.
Pretty good is an overstatement, but thank you
Lol its an understatement
Tiffany Poon I feel emotion from you rather than Lang Lang

Facts about me:
1. I used to diligently play piano (good 3 hours every day even during my high school and exam seasons)
2. I’ve been playing piano since I was 3 so it’s my 19th year this year (yeah crazy)
3. I’m very blessed to own 2 Steinway pianos (upright and grand. They are both wooden and it’s amazing both aesthetically and as an instrument)
4. Reading through you may think I play very well but unfortunately I’m not as good as you think or at least what I used to be (university and just not being motivated to get lessons anymore) but I am hoping to pick up again soon when things settle down.
5. My all time favourite is Bunin playing Chopin polonaise for the International Chopin Piano Competition. Although he was the youngest contestant in that group I think he’s performance is so amazing.
i get excited every tuesday and friday too
My name is Echo Huang and I found your channel yesterday! I lived in Shenzhen for 8 years before coming to the US. I learned to speak Cantonese by watching Hong Kong TV using the antenna on the balcony (back in the 80s). I live in Minnesota with my daughter and a petite Goldendoodle. I didn’t have money to learn piano growing up in China until I took my first piano class when I went to college in the US and bought my first piano right after September 11, 2001. I have taken lessons on and off for 20 some years. I passed level 4 a few years ago but stopped playing when Covid started. I decided to restart on September 11 this year and chose to learn Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata First Movement. I have enjoyed your videos very much! Thank you for sharing your talents and stories! 💜👍
What’s the point of you biography?
I am currently an interior design student, that is also intensively learning how to compose! (Imagine having to chase hectic deadlines, and failing at time management). Also, I have great interests in the sciences, especially physics, great fun knowing how to world works, you also become less afraid of the otherwise natural occurences of the world! I also enjoy long walks, and I mean long walks, very long walks, I have spent an afternoon to night, one time, circling my neighbourhood.
Fact#1: I started playing the piano in 2017 at the age of 47
Fact#2: i play on a digital piano with semi weighted keys (p-115 and c-135)
Fact#3: you are my long distance mentor and teacher.
Fact#4: philosophy is my other new passion I picked up at the age if 44.
Fact#5: you are AWESOME and inspirational
fact #1
I'm in love with Tiffany
ummmmmmm
@@thelibertymomma8304 lowkey, same tho. I mean, how could you not love her? when the last time you seen a girl this wholesome lol i say as long as hes not getting obsessed or randomly donating 5000$ on patreon for no reason, there's nothing wrong with it
@@NA7SU2000 True, but trust me, I don't per say love her, but I am a very big fan.
Hi there!!! My name is Edward, I am a retired classical symphony horn player, lived in Europe and Middle East, and now write music for jingle and documentaries. I started piano at 3, and took seriously until I decided to go with French Horn. It’s great to get to know you through your vlog. My favorite pieces to perform in college were Ondine and Prokofiev sonata 3.
Sweetheart; your enthusiasm is like a beautiful sunrise. Best of everything from MI/USA
I just recently came across your TH-cam channel and instantly became a fan...maybe your oldest fan. I'm 84. Okay. Fact about me. The first piece I heard you play was Liebestraum on Wagner's piano and the beauty of your playing brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Hi Tiffany I have been following your career on TH-cam for a while now. It is good to see a fellow Hong Konger making a career as a concrete pianist - my dream job! You are so talented! Love your playing.
fact: I play organ and piano, and your vidoes have taught me that you can both have fun and be productive at the same time. Learning to enjoy practice really made a difference for me:))
Fact: I played 3rd clarinet in a symphony of Holt's The Planets on the eve of my 55th birthday. It was my first symphony and I was 54 at the time and happy with my performance.
I coached swimming for many years and one of my athletes was Tara Koff who swam for and graduated from Columbia University a few years ago then went to Chiropractic School and became Dr. Koff and is now working as a Chiropractor with her father in Manassas, Va. which is only 30 minutes away from the Kennedy Center for the Preforming Arts.
I've noticed that some of you have asked for her Chinese name and pronunciation. Her Chinese name is 潘活活. Pronounce it as Poon Would Would (without the d's) in Cantonese, and Pan Huo Huo in Mandarin (using Pinyin spelling). 潘 is the surname, and 活活 the given name. 活活 means "Alive Alive", and by extension cheerful, happy, lively, or cheerful and happy, or living happily. And indeed she is living up to her name given by her parents. She is an inspiration to all of us.
1:50 Me too! I have already started... although it's utterly difficult because there no one (other than the German embassy here) with whom I can have a conversation in German.
I love that you did 50 facts rather than 10 or even 20! That definitely says something snoring your personality. Very fun! My fact is that I’m a barrister by day but a magician and mind-reader by night at parties and events. 😎
I have played in a concert in the Hong Kong concert hall (in Kowloon). Probably before you were born! (1995) (also Beijing, which was broadcast on national radio, Shanghai, and Guangzhou). And, on another tour with another orchestra, in the Sydney opera house.
I have also worked in digital marketing/seo (as a web developer).
Oh the concerts were playing double bass in an orchestra, but I also play piano. I don’t have a piano at home right now so I go to the library where they have a digital piano available to play. I am also teaching myself viola, and working on a website for another classical musician, and writing Wikipedia articles.
I DO have a degree in music but have never worked as a musician or in a field related to music.
Facts about me: retired professor of Historical Musicology and a classical pianist (not NEARLY) as talented as you! LIfe long New York City resident. Chopin is the reason I had a career in music. I play tennis and golf.
I am a self learning amateur player but I learned Chopin Waltz 69 No2 and Waltz 64 No2 JUST because I found your INCREDIBLE performances and youtube and I am a follower since then, being very much inspired by your lifestyle - always keep following doing what you love - nothing else is more important in life - you are an inspiration to me and I'm sure many more!
My fact: At the age of 24 I had a condition called focal dystonia, that paralyzed my right hand. I had to abandon my classical guitar carrer. Sad but true.
Come to Costa Rica 🇨🇷 some day! Love every post from you🎵🎶 🎹
Have you heard of tatap? It's a technique to play guitar just with the left hand. It may help you to stay connected with the guitar, even if you don't make your living with it.
Edgbarra Hello! I do use my right hand with guitar plectrum, but I can’t do it with “classical” or finger style. This condition affects the fine motor skills, and not other like holding things (a pick for example). Thank you for your suggest. 🎸🎵🎵🎶
I bet you would be a fun person to spend the day with!
I was born and raised, and still live in Toronto, Canada.
My favourite hobbies are cars, computers, music (I play keyboards).
I have an addiction to traveling, thanks to my current job.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful energy with us! I just discovered your channel and feel so inspired to keep working on my flute playing. A fun fact about me is that my family calls me “ardilla”, which means squirrel in Spanish. :D
Hi Tiffany! Since I'm early (for once) I just wanted to let you know how much you've helped me, a fellow aspiring musician/humanities student through your videos. Watching you study music and philosophy at the same time (something I've always wanted to do but wasn't sure of) has given me the courage to decide to pursue something similar in college. Your videos have also provided me with good vibes, sound advice and motivation to become a better musician/pianist. Thank you so much and wishing you all the happiness and good health ❤️❤️
You french is good ! Only 2 years of learning. I'm very impressed !
A fun fact about me : I started the piano at 17 on the same piano my mum learned 😊
Love your channel, use to play the organ when i was in my teens many moons ago, would love to pick it up again now that i am in my early 60's. love your playing..
I have been studying piano since I was 9 (took an 18 year break). I'm now 57 and have been studying again for the past 2 years.
Fun fact about me: I play the cello and watching videos of amazing musicians like you really inspires me 💕
I would have never guessed, that a pianist with a degree in Philosophy would do those kinds of internships. You are a very talented / versatile young lady. 😮😮😮😮😮
Fact about me: I get kind of obsessed with things easily, until I reach a reasonable level at them. It happened with learning English, learning Chinese, and now I'm totally obsessed with learning piano. (And I'm obsessed with watching your TH-cam videos while I don't play, but let's not tell this to anyone as it's very awkward).
One fact... huh, I went to piano classes from age 6 to 7, but i sometimes practiced in my grandma's grand 1911 piano (it is not a grand piano, it is a vertical piano but that's the brand), and then i forgot about piano. Then at age of 11 to 13 i went to piano classes again and had 2 recitals, now i learned to read music sheet oficially, but not fast, i read music at my own time and i struggle a little bit so i need to write which note it is each one when learning a new sheet of music; then i was bored on having more classes so i kept practicing but without going classes, i have a digital piano now, it is a Williams Rhapsody 2 that my parents bought me at a guitar center store. I'm actually learning by myself my 5th piano song, i chose it, it's Waltz in C#minor Op64 No2 by Frederic Chopin, i find it a masterpiece, but i think i'm going to finally learn it one month later
Thanks for sharing!
1.Keep swimming! It's great exercise and will keep you healthy your entire life.
2. A philosopher? How cool! Most people don't get around to that until they are old, and they have little time left to apply much of it.
3. If you like blueberries, come visit (North Carolina) in late June/July, and eat all you can pick. There is lots of room for guests.
4. Fun fact about me: I do video and sound. By weird twist of fate, my first professional (TV news) sound job was an interview with a guy named Barack Obama.
Glad I bumped into your videos; we're both learning lots of new things. 😄🎵
Tiffany poon! The cleanest chopin pianist on the internet! Keep up the good work!
Some facts about me:
1. I always seem to catch these videos at such a late point where it feels weird to comment and if I were to comment it would be lost to oblivion.
2. When I was learning piano when I was young I didnt like trying to read the sheet music, and I would always try to play by ear.
3. Because of number two I ended up quitting piano and wish now that I would have continued
4. I play saxophone pretty well but its sad not being able to play all the songs I want to with the limited range
Fun fact about me: I'm very good sight reader, and for fun my friends will often pull off random music from the music store shelf and see if I can read it (I rarely ever fail). I however have an exceptionally difficult time memorizing pieces. My current projects are Brahms Rhapsody 79/1 and Liszt Paganini Etude #2 and maybe a Hungarian Dance/Rhapsody or two - These are my two favorite composers. :D
I have the opposite problem! I can memorise music very quickly but I'm terrible at sight reading :P
I did not grasp or appreciate classical music until, in the early 1970's. I was invited by a friend to attend all the concerts including rehearsals at the Marlboro Music Festival for two summers for free ! Becoming immersed in live performances of well played music, experienced in the green of Vermont summers, expanded and changed my life. So lucky.
from primary school to college i was always involved in different a music club- handbells, band, string ensemble, piano. mainly because i really love the energy of musicians and learning new stuff LOL
I already liked watching because of the piano but now it's even more fun! Thanks for sharing those things.
Tiffany, you are sooo charming and natural!! You are also such a brilliant pianist! What a combination! !!!
1.In 18th August I'll be 14😃
2.Im learning Piano since almost 3 years ago
3.I can speak French like you!🤩
4.I lean with my chair during playing piano😑
5.My listening gets better when I watch you vlogs😁
6.I shy to move during playing the piano....
7.I still love peppa pig:)
8.I enjoy spend my time in your channel!!
Tiffany,
Love your posts and your personality. One cool fact about me is that
while I am an engineer by training, I am an artist by heart. Besides
the piano I can play chest, write poetry and paint ... in short I am
still looking to find myself.
I love how you play the piano and your vlogs, you inspire me to be able to study music in the music faculty of Monterrey Mexico
I'm not even a pianist nor a musician and I still love your channel
Hi Tiffany . I also play piano and have been for a couple years now but I can’t really master it . I do boxing and swimming . I’m 13 and u have inspired me in not giving up in hard piano pieces.
Facts about me? Well, I live in the Seattle, Washington area. Many years ago they had a music festival here called "Mostly Mozart". It was every year for several years and each year they had concerts around the city with various professional groups performing. Well one year they had one venue where there was a piano and it was open to anyone to play. There were seats for anyone that wanted to sit and listen. So that year I went to the venue and played a Bach prelude on that piano. So I was one of the artists for that year's Mostly Mozart celebration.
Hi, Tiffany I am a binge pianist stuck at home without a piano because I am renting an apartment, at the same time I am trying to watch pianists' videos to "play piano." Love your videos!
Some fun facts about me even though this is like a year and more late.
1. Born in USA but my parents immigrated from Hong Kong!
2. I can't read and write Chinese. (fail)
3. My grandma is 98 and lives in Hong Kong
4. I like anime but I find that most of the new shows coming out are boring, maybe I am getting bored of anime?
5. I can sleep for 20 hours or more if I wanted to.
I love piano and been playing for many years in both Montreal and Toronto. Two of my best teachers were Chinese including one from Hong Kong. They stressed the importance of building up good technique and made me feel comfortable which is so vital. I saw lots of young Chinese children coming for lessons some of whom were amazing. So, I have an Asian influence musically. I have played some recitals mostly for family and friends.
The Djembe is one of my favorite drums to play, and I’ve been playing since I was nine years old; I’m also an avid singer, but all of my favorite vocalists are the operatic sopranos from metal(Floor Jansen, Tarja, etc...) so it’s a lot when I try to sing along. 😂😂
Fun fact; I first started playing the piano during my break when I worked as a janitor at my local college. I would watch people play on TH-cam and then go practice what I saw when I got to work. Years later I enrolled at the same college and took piano classes.
我都係香港來美的，媽咪帶我們姐弟來，老豆留在香港工作，在美已經二十多年了! 因為想找Bach French Suite No.5 Gigue給仔仔聽所以找到你的channel. 很有親切感!😊
Thats so nice that you have been in Poland (I'm Polish)! I hope you enjoyed it!
Good night Tiffany. 😬😬😬 you have a good sense of humor.
Wow I hope this doesn't sound rude but you're a lot more diverse in your endeavors than I originally thought. Like idk I guess I always thought most child prodigies and ex-child prodigies just pretty much only played piano and that was it. But you seem to enjoy a lot of different things and have a pretty broad range of experience outside of music.
I'm glad I changed your impression. That's why I started making vlogs.
I am a chemical engineering student, also a Chinese, I have learned piano for 8 years and took exams before, but really bad at sight reading and listening (like you are super amazing and incredible for me)I love anime and I am a really good drawer. I took sketching (with pencil) for years so I have skills, and self learn how to use marker, colour pencil, digital art. Looking at you really inspires me to work on improving myself. You are really talent and really hard-working!
I learned French in high school and a little bit in college. Even after three years I'm still not confident speaking it, but reading it feels natural
Fun facts about me:
1. I started taking voice lessons 1 year ago and I’m going to audition to enter Juilliard. *If I’m accepted (!), I wish to cross-register at Columbia so that I can take some science courses since my goal is to become a neurosurgeon as well as a professional musician.
2. Even though I’ve played the piano for almost an entire decade, I’m much better at singing. Odd right? Lol. 🤷🏻♀️
3. Ever since I started watching your vlogs, you’ve become my role model 😊. I truly admire your great talent, eloquence, and work ethic, and hope to musically collaborate with you in the future!
i was a concert classical guitarist and just quit and started the piano.
Really like your channel. Just love it. Please continue sharing with us your routines... Thanks
Just 2 days i saw about 10 of your vlogs n performances.. then i decide start to learn piano next Jan 2020 in my half century age.. yes life begin at 50 😂😂 greetings from Jakarta. Plan to come to Jakarta ?
your french is very good , do not be shy as we love someone who tries to speak our language
I don’t even play piano, but u have good vibes
1. I was in Russia Volgograd in 2007
2. I started playing piano at age 11 on February 2019 and now I'm on level 7 on Royal Conservatory of Music.
3. I started playing violin at age 13 but a couple months I was forced to drop out because of Covid -19
4. I only like classical music.
5. I want to be a violinist and pianist
Bonus Fact: Tiffany Poon, you're are one of my favourite pianist!!!😃😍
I could give a personal fact or three here, but it seems pointless unless and until I start a YT channel of my own (i.e., actually start making & posting vids). But since you asked, let's see . . .
Well, like you, I started into music (classical) at a young age, but unlike you, I've never considered becoming a professional (really don't think I have that much talent - I do have lots of fun & enjoyment, though). My main interests since childhood have been math, astronomy, and physics. Music is up there, too.
Also, we probably couldn't be much more different in age - I'm almost certainly older than your parents. Maybe closer to your grandparents. And if anything, I enjoy life more each year. Despite my years, I still feel pretty young.
Here's wishing you the same positive trend with age! (Tip: Finding a good physical exercise you will like doing for a lifetime, really helps a lot! You've already got the mental exercise part - music!)
Fred
You are one more of those miracles of life that is blessed to have the gift of musical talent. God blessed humanity with music and you are actually one of his messengers.
I'm enjoying your videos so much. Besides you're such an excellent pianist, you're still so normal and unpretentious. In general classical musicians are often a bit strange and old-fashioned :-)
Fun fact about me: I began to love classical music, when I heard Jazz/Rock/Electronic versions of it: Swingle Singers, Emerson Lake & Palmer, W.Carlos (Switched on Bach) etc.
1 fun fact about me is I’m about to buy a yamaha p125 and start piano lessons at the age of 22 and that’s how I find your channel cause I have been looking at a lot of piano related content on TH-cam ! :)
aaaa i can't believe you're a gilmore girls fan! my mom and i have watched it like 5 times, and she calls me rory as a joke because our personalities are so similar :)
That's sweet! I still watch reruns of it nowadays, so I guess I am a fan 😅
Hi Ms Tiffany. I went to AIM in Atlanta for music. love your playing.
A fun fact about me? Hmm, Let me think...
I got to playing the Piano in quite a similar way like you, my mother bought my sister a little pink 2 octave toy piano for her 1st (?) Birthday (i was around 6 then) and somehow i instantly loved it (more than my sister did), so after a while they got me a 61-Keys Keyboard, but very soon we upgraded to an 88-Key electric piano which i had for about 4-5 years. After that we finally decided to upgrade to an actual upright piano with a silent system and til today i love it. I'd love to have a Grand Piano, but that would be too expensive for us and we would barely have any space for one in our appartement... Also it would be great to have a Grand Piano simply because of the Sostenuto pedal... As a Hobby Composer i sometimes really would need that pedal, as for example i am currently composing a piece which is supposed to explore the sympathethic resonances of the low strings.
Now i went a little bit off-topic, but Yeah, that's a fun fact about me...
Greetings from Germany!😃
I used to hate how classical music sounded through headphones on planes, so I went through a period where I would just read scores to hear the music in my head when flying.
Also, although I grew up playing classical piano, I stopped after college. Watching your videos has gotten me interested (and playing) again, so thank you for that!
Yay! Welcome back :)
Tu parles tres bien le français!!☺☺☺
Fun fact about me: I'm entering undergrad piano and I love watching your videos. So many of your videos are relatable :D
Fun fact about me: I'm a tree addict😂 I love to stare at its branches bcs it's always help calming me down
I just spend an hour looking at trees too 😅 (for filming, but I still get you ❤️)
Trees are special for sure. And the more you know about them the more rewarding. So in addition to staring at the branches, study them. There is a lot to learn. Also talk to them. They usually won't talk back but they will always listen.
Is it a koala watching😂
i love trees too, I am married to one.
@@thevastexpanse2873 Lmao
I started with piano, only for learning the notes, but then it was so fun and awesome and beautiful,that I stayed at this til today (5 months) :)
My fact: you're my favourite youtuber ;)
Awww 😍 Thank you!!
You give me so much fun. The day gets better with you.
Hello Poon Woot Woot I love your Chinese name!😄 I’m from Beijing but went to HK for college and stayed there for six years so I also speak Cantonese haha. Do you also speak Mandarin?😁
I can sorta, but mostly faking it and it's hard for me to hear, ironically 😏

Watching this video and the ones she made this year, she has changed a lot.
