Thank you, Jeeyoon, for today’s video! It comes at the perfect time - I had recently discussed this very thing with a student and how I thought it was similar to a high wire balancing act from a circus. I appreciate your clarity to first ask the question of how important it is to keep learned repertoire ready, then let that determine practice percentages. Also, the comparison of sustaining fitness as we age to sustaining old repertoire was an aha moment. “The fallacy of maintenance” ... such a profound statement! Those two little birds playing ping-pong on the window are so cute. Hello birdies!
I always learn something fun, new, valuable, and helpful from you 😊
Hello John! Love your comments! I am so glad that you can apply it to your students also. Tell them to workout 🏋🏻♀️ with the pieces more. 😝 it is a high wire balancing act from a circus!
It´s such a heartfelt (and cute) video, and yet one of the most helpful videos on pianists' routine I've seen.
I can barely remember 3 songs in my repertoire 😜... I see all the effort now that goes into performing beyond one hour. Great video! Keep it up 😃
Jajaja gracias, Marco! Mucho trabajo por supuesto!
Good night
Jeeyoon Kim
I love you
Jeeyoon, I'm really impressed by all this organization!! Even my much more serious younger self would be impressed. I dare say, my current situation is even more casual than that of Andres Gunter, in that I mainly just play for my channel, with my "band" and my occasional collabs. Between posts, I play for fun, and to keep the feel of various keys and chord changes under my fingers. I admire your organization, and your practice day status code, although I think you may need to make a legend page defining your symbols explicitly.
Haha. I will have to create that legend symbol page indeed! The comment reminded me to visit your channel and listen to you! 😉
Very helpful. Thank you!
I enjoyed this video a lot! It was really interesting to see your approach (and time commitment!) to repertoire maintenance. I am only three and a bit years into learning the piano and have only recently started to try and maintain repertoire. I’ve been pretty ineffective but I put in a small fraction of the time you do so that’s probably the reason! 🎹⏰
So glad to hear that it was helpful for you!
Awesome advice
Thank you so much for your insight.
Glad it was helpful!
very interesting and at the same time very useful video
Thank you for describing your routine in detail!
Thank you! 😊
interesting! I've been playing piano for decades and I can only play whatever new piece I'm currently learning, I always forget previous pieces... thanks for sharing this! I'll be trying to build a working repertoire like this!
Great to hear that!
Just performed the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s piano concerto a week back. I play it super well, and I don’t want to lose that. Now I’m basically focused on two new assignments: Chopin Scherzo No. 2 and Mephisto Waltz
If anyone has any particular advice on what to do, I’m all ears
Just sharing a thought, my situation is different from Jeeyoon's as I am not giving concerts anymore (strictly I'm not even a pianist). But I "maintain repertoire" in order to be able to play something if the occasion arises - which in my case is totally random: A gathering with colleagues, and there is a piano... trying out a piano at a store or in a venue... people come to my home and we feel like making some music... that kind of thing. What I do to keep repertoire "in my fingers" is that every day I re-work (not simply "play through"!) 2 pieces (maybe 3) as warm-up and wind-down of my practice.
That is great to share, Andres! It can be great warm up or cool down pieces!
Hello Jeyoon Kim, I really liked the advice you gave for us pianists who need to maintain. I do have a question, I know there are pianist who i see in there interview if they remember a certain repertoire like a czerny etude they worked on in their basic training and they play it perfectly. I have even seen pianists play a piece nicely and they say they have not played it in 5 years and people can memorize concertos in their head. Also the great Vladimir Horoiwitz was asked to play stars and stripes and he has not played it in 20+ years I believe. What is their secret? Thank you.
Guess what...The more you learn, the more you need to practice. ,😒
