Recently we did a performer spotlight video on Glenn Gould, who is legendary when it comes to recordings of Bach – but unfortunately, he’s been dead quite a while.
I thought it would be fun to spotlight a performer who is alive and well, and who got her start on YouTube – Valentina Lisitsa.
We’re going to discuss her background, her journey as a musician, playing style and recordings, as well as some controversy. Let’s get into it!
Hi all!
If you missed the first part of the Q&A with my piano teacher, definitely check that out. We talked about everything from music philosophies to teaching me as a child. 🙂
Here’s part 2 of our discussion, which largely centers around adult students. A full transcript of our conversation can be found below. Enjoy!
Hi friends,
In today’s episode of PianoTV, I’m doing a Q&A session with my childhood piano teacher.
This is part 1 of a 2-part series – we had plenty to talk about!
For today’s Q&A, I decided to learn in a personal direction and talk about the 9 gorgeous piano pieces I would eventually like to learn. These are the pieces for when I’m truly great at piano – a time that might be 10 or 30 or 50 years away.
The pieces that I’m willing to wait a lifetime to learn.
Let’s jump in!
I was in the mood to give some awesome piano channels and piano blogs some love today. But when I looked at my list of YouTube subscriptions and blogs on my Feedly app, the amount of great stuff was overwhelming. As such, this is a VERY INCOMPLETE list – there are plenty more great channels and sites where this came from!
A question I’m constantly asked is what pieces to learn on the piano, especially from beginners. There’s such an overwhelming amount of piano music out there, so it’s difficult to choose!
In today’s video, we’re going to answer a question about tempo markings in music. It’s a pretty straightforward answer so this won’t be a hugely long video, but it’s an important topic that I’ve yet to discuss on this channel.
Today we’re going to take a look at what it’s like being an accompanist. I’ve talked about piano teaching on this channel a bit in the past, so I thought it would be fun to take a look at other musical gigs, particularly the ones I’ve personally done.
In today’s video, we’re going to look at why you should perform in an online recital, and all the ins and outs of Piano World’s quarterly online recital.
