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.

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 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.

Fact #1 about me - I enjoy watching Tiffany's videos

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

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.

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!

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 RU-vid videos to get me inspired.

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!

i get excited every tuesday and friday too

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!

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.

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.

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 ❤️❤️

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🎵🎶 🎹

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. 😎

Love you from the moon and back, Tiffany. Your passion and determination to music keep me going when I face obstacles working through my musical pathway. Thank you very much for your inspiration and love 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.

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.

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 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 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! 💜👍

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 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.

I just recently came across your RU-vid 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.

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.

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

Tiffany, you are sooo charming and natural!! You are also such a brilliant pianist! What a combination! !!!

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:))

I already liked watching because of the piano but now it's even more fun! Thanks for sharing those things.

Tiffany poon! The cleanest chopin pianist on the internet! Keep up the good work!

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.

Great video !! Love learning more about you and thank you for sharing your life and beautiful music with us ! ☺️ Merci beaucoup !! Hehe

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..

Hi Tiffany I have been following your career on RU-vid 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.

Your a nice kid!! I enjoy your piano playing You’re Mom and Dad did a wonderful job and I’m very sure they are so so proud of you. Thank you again !! ✌🏻🌹🇺🇸

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

Sweetheart; your enthusiasm is like a beautiful sunrise. Best of everything from MI/USA

fact #1 I'm in love with Tiffany

Amazing, as always ! So nice to know all these things about you, Tiffany :) #Fun Fact: I have basically watched every single one of your vlogs :) ☺😊 You're an inspiration to me !!

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.

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'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.

I'm french and studying for a master's degree in IT. I discovered 2 months ago that I love playing piano. So I bought one and I'm here, learning from you !

Really like your channel. Just love it. Please continue sharing with us your routines... Thanks

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 😊

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. 😮😮😮😮😮

It’s good to see that you have many interests. You have exceptional talent for the music. I have no doubt you would excel with any musical instrument you studied. You made this fact filled vlog fun and interesting. I’m one “of many” of your biggest fans, and that’s a fact.

That fact#48 really surprised me because your videos are so smooth even if it's a long video, every time I'm pleased to watch the whole vlogs and talks:) Fun fact about me: Recently I am very attached to your talks and piano-playing videos when I'm eating or before-sleeping haha. Please keep going!! As a Hong Konger, I'm so proud of you:D Ga yau!! By the way, I wonder if you would like to listen to any Canton-pop songs:P (because you've mentioned that you would listen to jazz and some pops besides classical in one of your Q&A video:) )

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

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

I like the backgrouns music! well done Tiffany😍

You give me so much fun. The day gets better with you.

This was fun! I play cello and love dragonfly’s 😎

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 :)

Really enjoy your vlogs. I wish I played piano even a fraction as well as you. Your piano playing is a delight to listen to. Blessings!

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 RU-vid videos while I don't play, but let's not tell this to anyone as it's very awkward).

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. 😂😂

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.

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 RU-vid and then go practice what I saw when I got to work. Years later I enrolled at the same college and took piano classes.

Tiffany, you are full of surprises...and a great pianist! I hope you start making BIG MONEY real soon!!! You deserve it.

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 don’t even play piano, but u have good vibes

Fun fact about me: I play the cello and watching videos of amazing musicians like you really inspires me 💕

One of your old vids shows up in suggestions. Yeah, I'll watch Tiffany. Thank God your parents went all the way for you! Very fortunate 🙂 Stay happy forever...

Well, that's it, you got me when you said you are a PC and Android person! Just for that, I'm subscribing!!! (Even though, I was watching your video anyway!)

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 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.

Fun fact: I played the Tuba throughout middle and high school. I played in a Brass band and also school orchestra and brass ensemble. I stopped playing Tuba a couple of years ago because there weren't that many opportunities for me. You helped inspire me to start piano. It has really filled the huge musical void. Other Fun Fact: I'm moving to Tokyo in September! I will have to get a digital piano whilst there

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!😊

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'm getting addicted to you really. Btw, these are my things 🤗 : 1. I love music & piano. 2. I love learning languages (Cantonese is included 😀) & I'd like to be a polyglot. 3. I love 3D graphics & computer vision stuff which is my major in school. 4. I love travelling & studying abroad. That's been my dream. 5. I love hearing your voice 😍☺️

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.

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 ?

Tu parles tres bien le français!!☺☺☺

So fun to know more about you! Like others, I smiled the whole way through listening to your "facts". I enjoy (most of the time) creating interesting meals. Not so into squirrels. They plant peanuts from the neighbors and we get tiny peanut 🌲 in our yard 🙄

Fun fact about me: I'm entering undergrad piano and I love watching your videos. So many of your videos are relatable :D

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 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

Thanks Tiffany for this video👏😊One funfact about me: I´m good to hear when music has good quality, like your playing😊

I love blueberries, eat them everyday! I also play classical musical saw for fun, and piano by ear only. Love your playing! :)

I'm not even a pianist nor a musician and I still love your channel

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

Hi we love your vlog!! Thanks for sharing the facts!! We live in NYC.

Thanks for sharing, Tiffany! I've been cutting my own hair since I was 10 (b/c my mom wouldn't allow me to get a flattop). Had to use a permanent marker to cover up some patches, but all is good now!

if you want any help to practice your french, i'd love to do so ( I'm french and live in South of France). I love you so much, you play so beautifully , I which I did so but I started piano only 1.5 years (yes I try to find excuses for my incompetence). Sorry for my horrible English.

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?😁

if i have an exam ,specially practicals like singing or playing i usually watch some inspiring movies or Tv shows.it worked for me lot.it helps me to get rid of my nervous.

Also born in HK, now Canadian for many years 🍁 camping on snow ❄ every year. Went to Math Camp ➕➗ instead of Music Camp 🎶 Your Fact #36 is also my favorite activity!! 😍 Nice to meet you Tiffany 😊👍

You had me on "I'm a Windows person"

i was a concert classical guitarist and just quit and started the piano.

Loved your vlog. A couple of facts about me; I used to play the piano as a kid and also composed music for the piano. My piano teacher actually used my pieces to teach students. Nowadays a do not play any instrument but listen to music a lot. Piano is still my favorite instrument. Other interests; Aviation & wildlife/nature. Warm greetings from the Netherlands

8:55 😂*toy falling* that was cool improvisation ☺
