  • In the realm of pianists, a pervasive trait emerges-the unwavering belief in their capabilities. But is this self-assurance justified? Join Adam and Peter in this episode as they delve into the origins of this confidence and unravel the reasons behind its prevalence among piano players.

    As a guitar player with over 30 years experience now switching to piano, the reason is because the piano is the most practical musical tool compared to all others in my opinion.

      True, I guess I meant practical in the music theory sense like see how "the math" all works together. But yes not practical to bring to a campfire for sure!

    Thanks for addressing the spiritual part of making music. We often have the tendency to materialize music too much and therefore forget the next step!

    Can we even apply the word "hubris" to a jazz pianist? I mean, when you really can achieve anything you take on at a high level, is it even possible to have self-confidence that's excessive or unwarranted? I don't think so.
    A word of caution for Adam, though. If you wear your Clark Kent glasses while displaying your powers as Superjazzpianoman, their value as a disguise will be compromised.
    Love this episode! Cheers, guys!

    Many parts of this video describe the divide between classical music and jazz piano with the unintended emphasis on how difficult it is for any classical pianist to cross the boundary (and for new students to learn jazz)

    The title is true though. If you have ears (remember listening is the most important thing!) and if you practice for enough years you can basically do anything. Try to convince me otherwise.

    You don't need much technical playing ability in order for music making to be a spiritual practice. Therefore, I don't believe selling lessons has to conflict with that - the spiritual side of music doesn't get stamped out just because of taking paid lessons. To help that stay true, maybe you could tailor some lessons to people who approach music that way, and maybe even intro classes for people who don't approach music that way yet. I suspect you probably already do anyway. I think that should be part of any improvisational music curriculum, just like learning to solo over standard forms. I don't know a pedagogy for that, and I don’t know whether you can teach that online. I think these types of discussions during the podcast can help open people's minds to the possibility. IMO, it's not so hard to crankstart that motor, and some words from an authority (yes you guys are, whether you believe it or not🤣) can be enough, sometimes. Maybe not most of the time, for everyone, but sometimes. So please, keep it up! (Internet disclaimer: no, I'm not being sarcastic. Sometimes I troll, but not THAT much🤪)

    Crappy kid's instrument?! The melodica I saw him play wasn't like Yamaha Hohner Suzuki student special... it looked great, and sounded right.

    • @GizzyDillespee
      @GizzyDillespee 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was after I'd bought my 2nd "student special" plastic melodica that I realized I'd become a microtonal musician. Now it's only for use while driving. Stick your right hand thru the strap, palm against the bottom of instrument, and bend your fingers around to the keys. Make whatever strap modifications, or padding, that you need so that you can reach as many notes as possible without the melodica slipping around too much. Don't even bother with a mouthpiece😝 or use the shortie - so that you're looking past the melodica and out the window, not distracted downward (also keep your left hand on the steering wheel, except when waving/pointing at the audience👈👍👋😂).
      People are probably thinking, nah, I bet he's never done this🤣.

    Music has nothing to do with spirituality, people who attribute talent and hard work to things like god, or having a "soul", or being spiritual as a condition for "channelling" art, are as delusional as anyone that talks to "god" and thinks that you should worship things that don't even exist nor show their "face" to anybody, let alone Jon Batiste. I cringe when I have to "swallow" that Coltrane and McCoy and Mehldau all believe in this kind of idiocies.
