how do I know when I'm ready to perform? Q&A, unboxing gifts 

The raven episode in the beginning 😂, obviously is experienced! Really love these downtime moments you share. I am so looking forward to attending one of your concerts live some time soon!

Tiffany, this is Larry who attended your San Francisco concert and gave you the photo book as a gift. What a surprise you included the unboxing in a video! I’m glad you like it and I hope you enjoy it. Come back to San Francisco so we can all enjoy more of your music 😊. Wish you every success in your upcoming concerts.

I enjoyed the heck out of this video. It felt impromptu and unstructured. Just very casual.

I'm so happy you get to do your job! Especially after ~1.5 rough years. And I love ravens! And screen protectors! And squirrels!

I love your openness. You're a beautiful soul. Thank you

Such a humble and smart lady. I love her playing and her calmness. She seems to have a lot of fun.

As a german I'm kinda proud of that raven. Him picking the crunchy part shows he has good taste 🐦 😅

ADORABLE

Congrats on a great concert in Munich!I really enjoyed finally hearing you play in person ✨🙌

It makes me smile how excited you are to play for people. It makes me a little sad that I was only about an hour away from your Gilmore performance, but I did not know about it or you at the time. One day I hope to be in the room to experience that magic. I also find it amusing that your piano's subtitles suggests it feels lucky to experience your playing as well. Wise piano. 😄

the two timelines intermixed in this episode works really, really well. one is comforting, welcoming, and conversational, and the other cerebral, experiential, and exploratory. together they tell a wonderful, well paced story. thank you for the journey.

The squirels in Colorado come up to your hand too...but never saw a crow do it. I love your gratitude about life at home.

Never seen such a bold crow, but you had food. I do love them. I would have enjoyed that moment, such smart birds. Loved the squirrel too. I can live off the energy of a beautiful piano. Good luck!💕💕🧚🏼‍♂️🧚🏼‍♂️🙌

You have this magnetic connection with animals that it is great 😎

It was a wet Tuesday in Munich unfortunately. Had to scrap of my own plans in the city on that short visit. But had a great evening and enjoyed the recital.

I love seeing how much more confident you are in front of the camera...it almost seems as though the camera isn't even there and we are face-to-face!

I like the newish formatting! Also, I didn't know there were black squirrels in NY! So cool!

I remember that piece from the adventures of Milo and Otis. Good memories

I absolutely love that encore piece you're considering, btw! It's delightful, and you play it beautifully!

congratulations on being able to do your job. that hit me in that feels

Hello, long time no see! Good to be back! Hope everyone's doing well! Edit: I just saw that you're coming back to Germany! I'll be in Munich for a couple of months from June to August so I think I may be able to make it to one of your concerts! Yaay! It'll be my first ever classical music event! Hopefully I can make it 🤞!

That raven stealing your food was so hilarious !!

Ms. Poon I'm a big fan of yours and the unique sounds you create from the piano.

Love watching you prepare and also love listening to your playing. Thank you

10:37 This made me laugh so hard lmao. I watched this when i woke up, it really made my day. I really love these behind the scenes and insights.

Those squirrel scenes synced really well with the music 👏🏻

Hi Tiffany ;), thanks as always for sharing all of this, u always make up my day whenever u post a video. Can't express enough of my love and gratitude(sounds weird but u help through lots of moments , especially the tough ones, and helping me finding my passion for piano, etc... ) for u existing and sharing and talking with us(like friends!). Have a nice day, keep striving!

Good to hear there is some time for sight seeing after the concert, a good meal also I hope !

Dear Tiffany, you are magical, just like your beautiful piano!❤❤❤

Yeee a new video!! 😘

Very much enjoy your new vlog, and of course your piano playing as always.

Angelic meal with a cool cow friend send by GOD. Beautiful piano, thanks.

Love these vlogs where you combine random things with parts of your musical life. Aren't animals amazing??? :) Thanks for sharing the raven and squirrels, they really made me smile.

omigosh, the crow 😭 he's lucky you're friendly to animals, Tiffany 😅

The concert was a pleasure. Thank you

Classical music is a powerful medicine to my ears which soothes my spirit, calms me down from the vexatious world around. Tiffany you inspire in ways you may not even be aware of by posting your story. Personally I am very grateful to be able to see and hear you playing and talking.

I love these blogs!!

Opera as well, after the Concert !

What a wonderful video!!! Thank you for sharing with us!!! 😊😊❤️❤️

I love your vlogs so much, Tiffany!

Thank you for sharing🥰 I really enjoyed the video!

I love these behind the scens vlogs - thanks - love following your career.

Enjoy your video as always 🎼💓🎵🎶

Lovely

Thank you so much for your vlogs Tiffany !, So much joy and humanity, love of music 🎶, and nature 🤣 Thanks so much for sharing! 🥰

I need to buy a electronic writing pad like yours. Those chipmunks were huge. May your concert go well.

Tiffany you just made my day ;)

for some reason, I like the bubbles on the screen protector :)

i love you tiffany

I like the scarecrow and the flowers.

hope you have a safe trip

Enjoyed this, I never know when I go to concerts what it's like for the performers to prepare that wonderous music. Thanks for the insight to your preparations. Mahalo and Aloha.

Happy always to see your videos they really motivates me to go on seeing other people struggling for what they love. Now I'm preparing my first exam in conservatory I'm a little anxious but luckily it's only the piano exam, I'm hoping to nail it but I'm a bit scared because I've discovered only these days that I have to prepare an Harpsichord piece (that seemed weird to me because I also have to prepare Bach) so I decided to do the Scarlatti k.380 I'm practicing it very hard and luckily I hope to do it right and I also hope to play all the other pieces that I'm preparing.

hi tiffany, just want to say i enjoyed the vlog a lot and i really appreciate how open you are about the ups and downs of being a professional pianist. hope that you will perform in Hong Kong some day ! ^^

i love your videos

You're amazing, thanks for play like an angel! hugs from Brazil

As long as you have a refined technique you are able to afford risks such as this one. People think sometimes it takes only 3 months to learn Chopin’s Etude ops 25 , because they have mistakenly assumed that based on an interview with Daniil Trifonov after winning Rubstein completion . He had a spot on technique before practicing the etudes. He had already studied them for years in the past . The three months were only to remember the etudes again. Another mistake people make is to assume you do not need to practice technique because Martha Argerich had said that she never practiced scales or any other technique. However people forget details such as : Liszt and Rachmaninoff practiced A LOT of exercises . Even more than pieces. And so many great pianists also recommend to practice technique . Hope people understand that each case is a case and a spot on technique is a must in this career!

This video was so fun to watch xD, I really like this unique taste you have when arranging videos, Watching you unwrap your fans's gifts was soo cute. Anyway I have a test after 12 hours and your video was a nice break. Never stop uploading Tiffany :)

great! I like the Childhood scene ones. I like all of them! Hope it goes well.

Crow is important bird. Always treat them well. You are lucky.

I'm sure you've heard that a long time ago Anton Rubinstein said if he didn't practice a day he could tell ,2 days others could tell .

thanks for the video :) thats what i need today :DDD

What a wonderful introduction

The Clara Schumann Romance in B minor seams to be a very beautiful piece of music. I don't know it,but with the portion you played I can tell that is a beautiful romantic piece of music and I will search for the score and recording. I think that if you have a chance to play as much music composed by women it would be a good relief now considering what is sadly happening in the world. May I suggest some of Lili Boulanger works or Germaine Taillefer. Above all a huge thank you for your perseverance in sharing great and beautiful music, it's really appreciated.

Love the video. Btw we really miss seeing you under the piano 🙋‍♀️

Keep up the good work Tiffany. You must know yourself.

I wish I have a chance to watch your concert once in my lifetime.😢 😭 P.S. Thanks for good vlog and the inspiration to play piano 😊🎉

Such a beautiful video. Really love how you edited it, really beautiful.

Thanks for the video with the crows, I have never seen anything like that. In my city there are many crows, but they are nothing so brave.

The pieces u play are so healing...I also didn’t like to use edevices for score keeping .. it makes my eyes so sore and dry after practising for some time… but thinking of going green and yes they are so much lighter to carry…anyways, love your vlogs🙆🏻‍♀️❤️ and those cute animals featured😆

That guy's accent was très bien *chef's kiss*

It is an interesting video. I think I must practicing better with my clarinet. More with fun and diversity and mindfulness. All the best wishes Rainer

The unhurried life of a deep artist who is very happy when performing (and especially when concerts are lined up!) Related personal anecdote (if you are interested): I did not like the hall experience after a concert, even though I receive compliments (for artistic naturalism, though I thought I became super-precise in front of audiences). So I would lose myself in the art in the hall, wondering what I could do with it. Even after a rock concert (when I did that) I would just leave. Much (much) later I realized the problem was philosophical (specifically, Continued Universal Human Cluelessness, which I've addressed with the Philosophy of Broader Survival, which gave me the needed broader perspective that I needed). On another note, it is fascinating that you do everything on your own, without a huge staff doting on every little thing like a pampered pop star would experience (and which would ruin your character)...

Do you ever plan return to Fisher Center at Bard College again? Would be delightful to see and hear you play there for a live in-person experience! Be kind. Keep striving!

That intro! 😂😂 But at least you witnessed something so damn cool!

Another great episode. Thank you, kind Miss Poon. All safe, all well. Show me a thousand _"like buttons"_ so I would happily click on them one by one.

nice

Is that a crow? I love them they are so smart.

HELLO Tiffany, I like You. She plays very well.

Went right for the bacon!!!! Smart

that bird must've seen your vlogs of you feeding squirrels & thought .... what about me ?

Great! Finally find a place to IMPROVE. Universities don’t really want you to IMPROVE they want to classify by IQ (which is nothing wrong) but sending to hidden directions that are DEFINITELY NOT so cool.

One day, maybe thé Bach-busoni chorale in g would be a good pièce for you, i think.

Did you get the piano tuned recently? It sounds super, super nice!!

Tiffany: “No, no, nooo” Crow: 👁👄👁

Hi, Tif 😀

Nice new font!

Much Love and admiration for you and your amazing talent. Think about streaming on Twitch. I would subscribe in a Heartbeat.

Hi. You are so good I love to see and listen to you play. Question: What is the best advise you can give to a 53 year old starting to play the piano?

Uhh… how do you handle nerves in front of a giant audience? I had state solo and ensemble today and I felt like I was about to throw up in the presence of merely a judge..

I want one of those trees that comes with a bird.

I hope to be able to see you in person one day. If you ever come to the Texas gulf coast, let me know. You'll need a bodyguard, well, a guard for your food if you eat outdoors. I've seen seagulls steal food then poop on people. Those birds are not really evil, but seem more greedy and not thankful. Some folks find them beautiful and feed them even when there are signs warning people to not do that. They will take food off of your plate without even saying thank you. They just squawk, poop, then come back for more. I have played keyboard with a band at an open air waterfront venue. The gulls stayed away from the band's food and beer and worked the crowd. But if we left things unattended, the crowd might steal some beer and the gulls would get your food. I have experience. I'd love to hear and see you in person. Keep striving...

“ your now on RU-vid “ that’s what they said to me before I started doing the “ Dance Of The Bikinis “ .

Really like Romance in B Minor! So you make notes on piece of plastic on screen for music? Huh? Take picture of it? I gotta have sheet of paper

Hiiiii!!!!

hi tiffany, i have a question, what do you think about hanon exercises? are they useful to increase ur piano playing skills and have you ever done them?

Hi Tiffany! How do you get the muscular endurance for long, loud pieces like Chopin polonaises and some(most) liszt?

Will you be coming to Indianapolis anytime?

Does anyone know the Op. number of the Clara Schumann piece? ☺️
