This is so incredibly helpful! I wonder why your chanell hasn't a million subscribers. I really apprecciate your work, to see your hands and the comments. And especially that the methods you are showing are useful for so many many other pieces, so one has not to play this special piece to get some benefit from it. Keep on, Mariya! Maybe you get more subscribers if using some hashtags like #PracticeTips or #PianoTutorial. Danke, liebe Mariya!
It's bad. No accompaniment... very poor presentation.... that is a keyboard does not a piano. Voice tone is built in... The style makes more introducing their ability.
Wow, it's really neat that you speed up the recording to be near performance tempo! That's a great way to make sure you're playing it well slowly, and that everything is still coming across
Best line in this video, “That’s Hard!” It is the best line, because lesser experienced people can see we are not alone in that and it is encouraging to see that it is just a matter of working and practice.
Your method is better for the health of the pianist, but that’s not the method they’re using. Again, understand that these guys are using what they’ve been taught as they learned and British or French methods are probably more common for these European and American companies. Now I will say your idea of bridging larger chords with the peddles is something I’ve never heard before and honestly it is kind of brilliant.
Uhh, that stretching is actually a technique taught in many programs, because they teach in a way that can cause tension in the fingers. The method you’re talking about with using arm weight is actually the Russian method and the the reason you don’t see the benefit, is because your method was designed in a way to avoid the tension and pain of some of the other approaches. Almost none of these apps use the Russian method and honestly, I don’t know that any actually do use it. I think the problem with your reviews are that you’re actually comparing a western approach to the Russian approach and assuming that their method of teaching is invalid. Grab an Alfred Adult Piano book and read it before you make more of these and you’ll understand the reasons behind these apps.
Oh the Simply Piano app purposely leaves off key techniques to slow down learning. Also, they did actually have all the finger numbers there until everyone started calling them out for that. Then their “Professionals” finally relented, but they refuse to add any real knowledge of intervals and their benefits. This is why Skoove will likely take their top music app spot before too long. What you should do is work with Piano Marvel to give the kids what they need as that is heavily invested in rhythm and theory.
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!! Simply insane!!! You are absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! WOW, you have a true passion for music and piano, which shows. I can only dream of being this amazing !!!!! This is my #1 favorite concerto ever, and you absolutely killed it.!!!!!! BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful playing Mariya. I really liked the Scarlatti k 380 and the Rachmaninoff was, is, wonderful. I never tire of it. You really have the chops for it. I've played much of it for years but several sections still give me trouble. I think I need to resolve to take things in bite sized pieces slowly with written in fingerings. Lord, grant me the patience! :) Best to you Mariya for your continued success.
This app fucking sucks. It can never hear what I’m playing on the electric even though it’s going through a fucking amp. It always says I missed a note even when I played it clear as day
Yep The app is a tool that can be used for introduction to piano. Nothing can replace a teacher though to correct student posture amongts other things. For beginner as I am myself, using this app is just something that I use for starting. I use RU-vid videos as well and practice outside of what the app teach. Planning to buy books and at one point I will surely pay for courses to correct all bad habits that I might develop by learning by myself instead of learning via the help of an actual teacher.
Use midi cable. The app through phone mic does not recognize what you play correctly. Also without midi cable when my dogs were barking the app was recognizing their barks as notes. So if you plan to use that app plan to have a midi cable from the piano to the phone.
I had played an electric violin exclusively for over a year and was shocked when I picked up my acoustic how much louder it was under my ear. Your point is very valid and I honestly hadn’t even thought about the fact that I’m doing the exact same thing with my Yamaha DGX670 keyboard, but I don’t have access to an acoustic piano at the moment.
Hi Mariya, this recording is actually magical. I’ve been learning the rach piano concerto 2 Pianoforte (I) for about ~6 months now and I was wondering if you could link to your recording that you use as a backing track on this video? I totally understand if not -as your recording is actually so good it should be behind a paywall-but it would help me loads in my practicing. Anyways, you’re a total inspiration, thanks so much.
Its not worth it. So many songs are vanishing lately which I started learning and when you ask the support they just say we don't have the license anymore.
I’m a piano teacher. My son now uses simply piano along with many other resources to learn piano. It obviously has its flaws, (it fosters poor technique from the get go), but it’s really fun. And music should be fun.
Well i use mod version anyway, and it's been great past 2 weeks. I had some experience with piano previously and also long time ago during childhood, so it's been very smooth for me. I easily completed upto essential 3. The app is great, but I also do some extra research for finding more depth and completeness
I’ve not long come across your vids and they are a breath of fresh air- to see your learning techniques and to see the score and your hands from above is a great and extremely useful experience- I especially enjoyed your Rach 3 vids- it makes you really appreciate the effort and skill involved to be a great pianist- I commend you and from an organists view point it’s great to see piano repertoire shown like this through the learning process 👏🏻🍻🥃
Still waiting to see if one my children fall in love with the piano to upgrade from our 809 I’m just learning, and old, so wouldn’t buy one just for me.
