very insightful indeed. i can't afford a teacher hence RU-vid is the only option to learn the piano. Your channel is one of the best I've come across lately & I'm sure many like me who can't afford a teacher or go to Uni'' will certainly benefit from your channel. i eagerly look forward to your videos every week. i hope you have recovered from Covid? Take care :)
😊 ... I am kinda struggling with "improvisation" . I'm sure there is a right way to learn & practice soloing. Albeit, there are a lot of videos on Improv" but none talk about how to learn it the right way especially for beginners. It's mostly around 12 bar blues. Might I request you to come up with a video on improvisation for "beginners", more importantly that should one learn first before even trying improv".. :)
This was so helpful! I'm currently working on two pieces that have challenging octave sections (one is Mozart's Rondo alla Turca, which hasn't been difficult to learn, but the octave passages do cause fatigue after a few measures). (The other is a ragtime/stride piece with octave passages in both the right and left hands.) I was wondering if you have (or are planning) any videos on the particular challenge of fast, broken octaves (either in alla Turca or longer examples such as the Beethoven's Pathetique first movement). Thank you! This is one of the best piano channels on RU-vid -- I have learned so much from you!
