@EastEndery Crude, but straight facts

She died in 2019

@@scurly0792 one minute of silence for her

So about 98 years of piano then.. Wow ..atleast she didnt have to go through the hell 2020-2022 has been

She started at 2 or something?

@@0b100 she started at the age of 6, it’s said in the video..

cuz that's called muscle memory.

@@atlanticpublishing4939 muscle memory isn't a real thing 🤦

@@levering5639 ?

@@levering5639 Yes, it's a colloquial term. What you're thinking of is _procedural memory._ Habits become subconscious and automatic. Procedural memory is very stable over time.

It isn’t

Music is language.

Krynek really

Actually she's a shitload more full of death.

"edgy" says the kid who's username is demonetized

not for long

That sad

Rob Hoffman she’s dead now

Biffy The cat how do you know?

wait WHAT!?

Rob Hoffman no need to tune the piano, she isn't around to play it anymore.

Blaž Bohinc she is dead ? How? Nani!?

baritonebynight I think the TV company should step in and buy a new one!!!!!!!

Christine Thornhill I think you're absolutely right.

baritonebynight why does the piano need to be tuned? I think it sounded good

same here

ZeldaACFan17 Are you serious?The piano is out of tune.

My mom gave me piano lessons when I was a kid but my piano teacher quit giving lessons (not because of me I promise lol) so I didn’t get to learn to play well from a kid. I then somewhat learned as a senior in high school but I imagine it would have been much easier to learn as a kid. But I also know how to play flute because I started in 6th grade and also started playing piccolo sometime in high school. I haven’t played in a while though.

I really wish I had known what music really meant to me when I was young. I played piano and trombone, but I wish I could’ve gone further with them. I just bought a MIDI keyboard and I’m trying to get back into it but it’s not as easy to learn new things when I’m older.

@Feldweebel Akhowski It's never too late to play!

@@GayLuigi333 If you want, you should definitely try playing again. It's never too late to play either. :)

​@@lugnut59omg same i have a keyboard when i was a kid and all i did was just randomly play the keyboard and making random sounds, i wished i asked to get a keyboard lesson.. now its so hard to learn instruments in high school. i have to pick between the importance of the school or the instrument 🥲🥲 i kinda regret that i dont have any talent ive worked on since i was a kid

I think this is called muscle memory. It's like with writing, you don't really have to think about it anymore

Like driving a manual car. We get places without even thinking or knowing how.

markwest1987 thats so cool

That's really sweet, you're a good guy mark!

markwest1987 If she was born in the 40 s and we are in 2018 then she could only be 78

Gracie Ash-Hill could it mean 40s as in her forties?

Gracie Ash-Hill he just said that the lady played piano in the 40s so by that time she could have been 20yrs old, as mark didn't specify when she was born.

Sadly she died

@@ANPBand-nb8en noooo

It is very likely that she died already. Otherwise she would be already 105 years old. No matter how much we would crave for such a loving spirit to live further, life can only stretch sadly so long. Let’s hope that her family didn’t suffer with her passing, and that she make it graciously and heavenly as she played the piano.

It would be a century. How did you guys find out she died?

@@ANPBand-nb8en Beethoven himself is here

❤❤❤

in the middle of the night! love it!

How is this even possible? I've heard of many such cases - advanced dementia, can't remember his name, but plays the piano from memory. Is there a special indestructible place in the brain for music?

music is not stored as other memories are. So its the connections that wear out losing the memory link to any other so its forgotten but music has an entirely separate means perhaps because its audio and the brain processes light perception and audio perception independently of other types of information. For example in cats, they have whiskers connected to the same area as the eyes so even a blind cat can sense objects to a lesser amount this is related to their hunting in the dark; it might give a clue on music in humans being more reliable also.@@userpanx

That's very sweet.

Degenerative Arthritis in my hands.

Nexar41834 I hope u get better :)

Nexar41834 you're my grandma's sister's age!!!!

Nexar41834 and you are watching RU-vid? Good for you! My 40 year old uncle doesn’t even known what RU-vid is.

Nexar41834 Perhaps taking up piano again will help you keep your hands from freezing up. I don't have arthritis, but, I find that playing my cello helps with stiffness.

That happens to me when I try to remember a song to play on my guitar and then suddenly my hands are like:" i got your back just strum".And the best part is I dont even know what notes I'm playing but still its correct

@@aswinsrajesh5960 Omg, yeahhhh!!! I did a solo concert once, and I didn't memorize the song, I didn't know the notes, it just came out naturally from my violin, it was amazing

@ muscle memory is quite helpful when I start blanking in the middle of a piece. I start panicking, but it still kinda works....

That describes my Mom at 93..She didn't know who I was,her daughter,but she could still play the piano very well.

@@carmenwagner153 wow that's beautiful. How is she

Gamer2345679 She is though.

Christopher Edwards how do you know??:(

@@LoneVII7 how do U know?

Paul Jordan I started at 47! I am addicted and so happy

RonnieD1970 I felel the same.

That’s amazing...I’m studying to be a therapist, and with all the statistics and research-backed treatments and psychology, I truly appreciate finding these little magical moments that clinicians who follow strictly by facts and evidence may otherwise miss. I hope I will be able to recall and share with my future clients amazing miracles like this to inspire them every day.

Womderful!

@@clarissac5922 Keep going young fella, I am 60 and just started learning the piano this year. I wish I had done it when I was 4, don't stop.

pathologicaldoubt I love ragtime,i bet she was really good.

often times people are put there because their relatives can't afford to care for them

@@danielapr787 Same I really love ragtime, that was great!

My greatgrandpa played his Harmonika till the very end. Lovable to watch/listen

That is awesome. Do you know the names of any films she played to?

@V Pipe lol

@V Pipe what

@V Pipe don't start with me dear

Music is the medicine for a long and happy life. I love listening to classics.

Alonzo Rivera I only go to circuses without animals. Playing such a vivace playful repertoire for acrobats etc is a very fun way to share your passion! Good luck! I started piano lessons at the age of 18, just one year older than you:)

MarsLos10 awww I love this comment. I’m only one year into piano but I don’t love it as much as my art. I hope you will forever enjoy music!

Alonzo Rivera Oh yeah! When we played and performed music in a old people’s home (not sure what its called but elders are taken care of there , sorry I have bad memory so that’s why I can think of words sometimes ) A kid played Entertainer and it sounded like the Mario theme song. I didn’t know about the song until he preformed. :D I mean’t performed* oops

Waffles Panda thank you! 😁

@V Pipe I have never had a single drug in my life (and very VERY few times with medicine drugs) also I am mentally fine.. It is just my brain doesn't see it as important to remember

@V Pipe that’s a weird thing to assume of some stranger on the internet because they don’t remember something inconsequential in their life.

Hello Cynthia 👋😊

ikr, it's amazing

Ethan Quinn I like all kinds of different instruments. From popular instruments like the piano to lesser known instruments like ocarinas, I like the sounds of instruments like those two and want to learn how to play them. I have ocarinas of my own that I really like. Ocarinas are unique wind instruments similar to recorders. They come in all different shapes and sizes, from tiny necklace ocarinas to huge bass ocarinas! Ocarinas were made popular by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, an adventure game released in 1998 by Nintendo. Ocarina of Time is said to be “the best video game of all time,” because of how well the game’s mechanics and story are crafted. Everything from the dialogues to the boss battles is so great that people have developed Zelda obsessions, including myself. I have a Master Sword, a Hylian Shield, and a Link costume, as well as a very nice Ocarina of Time from STL Ocarina of St. Louis, Missouri. I also have Zelda games (Obviously!), Zelda posters, and even Zelda clothes!

I truly believe music and binary code are the only two perfect languages.

With an equal opportunity for all to sing, dance, and clap their hands...
