Professional Pianist Learns Rush E On The Spot 🔥 

Here's a breakdown of how Sangah figures out the song by ear on our blog >> www.pianote.com/blog/rush-e-sangah-noona/

Amazing! Having those top tier aural skills is so useful for transcribing and composing - and I love Sangah's take on it :D

This was so much fun! It’s always great to be in the Pianote studio! 😉👍🏻

Honestly, the thing I love the most about this is how Sangah was clearly enjoying how utterly barmy the song is. She's already got a huge grin on her face as we head into the second B section and then just breaks as the "DUN! DUN! DUN! DUN!" keyboard slams happen, then she sees this wall of notes coming at her when the key changes and she just starts laughing even harder and even mimics the "EEEEEEEEE!" at the end.

The jazz version has so much character and uniqueness. This was absolutely incredible!

It's mind boggling how Sangah could dissect that song so quickly. Then play it through and make it even better with her own special flair. What an incredible artist we are all blessed to watch.❤

If you didn’t already love Sangah, this would make you love her now. She’s an absolutely brilliant musician….and she’s fun, too.

I need to learn this song.

what I like about rush E is. even at the end where everything seems random. you can still hear the harmonics. this is pure talent to make a song with so much caccophony yet still being enjoyable

Wow… Sangah’s Rush E performance (including the jazzy variation) blew me away 🎹🔥

It is absolutely impressive and entertaining watching a professional perform Rush E. And it looked like she was having a blast. Great stuff!

Love her attitude and message! Despite being an expert and master of her craft, she approaches it as a learning opportunity and is so humble. We're never too good/too big/too wise to learn something new.

That was fun. I love how she really doesn’t judge the song but takes it for what it is - a meme. Her process of recreating it was so fun to watch. I loved her rendition at the end when she stopped restricting herself to the simple chords of the original and just improvised.❤

That jazz e version is really great, thanks for it! ☺

The thing that's interesting about Rush E is how it is not a piano piece, but a MIDI piece. It uses the full power of MIDI as a format to compose percussion within the boundaries of the piano synthesizer as a MIDI output.

Her notes had fewer than 5 bars and she played a whole composed song with an improvised piece at the end. Exceptional!

The jazz rendition was sooooo freaking awesome!

If your head is spining watching this as a non-musician ...don't feel ashamed ...you are NOT alone. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

"Can we still be friends?!? 🤤" That was hilarious, Lisa. Yeah.....she is that good. Thank you folks for bringing Sangah's genius to a large, knowledgeable audience at Pianote. Maybe that million subs is not too far away.🤣👍❤❤❤

Sangah is not just any professional pianist, she's totally unique, I have never seen anyone play the piano like she does.

I'm quite flabbergasted. Not only does Sangah figure out the chords and melody, but her first "full" attempt at the song includes attention to the details of the dynamics!

I love seeing professional and classically trained pianists attempt this piece. I learned this from the synthesia tutorial alone, so it is nice to watch. It's interesting to see her own rendition of the song. Thanks for sharing! 🎹❤️🇪

I love how she just throws her head back and laughs at the insanity of this song. I was expecting her to get to the end of listening to it and go "this is impossible", because in reality it IS impossible, but then she played it beautifully! I also loved the "Jazz E" version that she played on the spot.

It's really cool to see how she uses dynamics to mirror the overall structure of the original. Where the original as layers of notes, she plays the notes louder. Two different ways to accomplish the same end goal: adding intensity.

im honestly impressed in the time it took to memorize and be able to play all of that

Sang is truly a Master Musician in every way.

Sangah has a great personality. She did an amazing job for this challenge. Wish she was my teacher.

Jazz E is so beautiful! Shows what a true musician she is, she doesn't just imitate the original, she makes it her own ❤

I grew up learning with Suzuki method as well as learning lots of traditional/folk tunes and i can for sure say, she doesn't sound like a "suzuki kid" to me. I also think that her "jazzified" Rush E is awesome and she sounds *so good* when she stops trying to reproduce the original and starts to fool around with the music instead

Sangah's musicianship is on another level. Her improvisation with this Rush E piece makes me recall her doing the same with Chopsticks. It was wicked brilliant!

We love Sangah Noona. Please bring her back to Canada. ❤

The JAZZZZZZZZ this woman can play is just... wow

How can anyone dislike this? I can't see anyone playing like that

Impressive!!! How could she do it so fast!??

Omg! As a beginner on the piano I love learning from Lisa but this was insane! Loved it! Especially had fun watching Kevin panic 😆 lol. Thanks for making my day!

Talent + humility is a winning combination. That jazz version was 🔥

I really love the cheeky little extra beat she put in between there at the start of it making it a bit waltzy :p Also that jazz version just became my new favorite rendition of Rush E.

I just found Sangah's RU-vid station and started listening to her like LAST WEEK! She is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sangah is such a master but humble in the face of things even she can learn from. I like the advice to listen and not to rush into playing, I'm going back to my fur elise practice though...rush E is a bit mental haha.

When someone who looks 29 says they've been playing for 30 years 😂

What a captivating eight minutes of pure musical entertainment! Plus, you really picked a winner (Sangah Noona) to drive home a quick yet FULL lesson on learning a song. I especially loved the way Sangah improv'ed at the end! She is one Jazzy girl! 😊 Thank both of you so much for putting this video together!

I love you Sangah. Here I am in my living room cheering and clapping like it’s some sport and you just scored the winning goal!!! It’s such a joy listening to your amazing piano playing!!! Bye, I’m off to the piano to continue with your Moonriver lesson!!!

We need a series of song deconstructing. To know how to analyze a song for a cover

Love how you can still hear here own melody and style show through, she took the most impossible song ever and made it totally approachable and more beautiful somehow. Took it from meme to a true classical tune!

She is so amazing and so inspiring… Jazz E is definitely something I would want to listen on repeat! Thank you for such a great vid ❤ what a great collab

All Synthesia arrangements look like that to me. This pianist is beyond amazing! Thanks!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The technique is remarkable in a good pianist as well as in a good painter poet etc, but to make a beautiful jazz arrangement out of it.. Well, Sangah did it again! Excellent work!Sangah ,Force boom here!

bro that cover was amazing. the jazz version was so inspiring to hear.

Sangah Noona is the most amazingly masterful musician I have ever seen and heard anywhere. The things she does musically completely astound me. This video is another outstanding example of her incredible Musical talents. Simply wonderful Pianote and Sangah. Thank you.

Loved the jazzier,less frenetic version, which was a pleasant surprise! 😊

What an amazing person she is, a pure talent with a very long years of practice

I need a full version of this interpetation, this was insane!

That was amazing! 🔥🔥🔥 and thanks for the lesson - don’t give up! 🧡

Very refreshing video format! Thanks to Pianote studio and Sangah Noona! Invaluable tips as always.. Listen, really listen, analyse, internalise, personalise.

you need to have 10 hands to play this song

Jazz E is BRILLIANT!!! Thank you so much Sangah for creating that. That was so easy on the ears and smooth as butter. Thank you!

Jaw-dropping! Sangah Force, BOOM!! 👊👏👏👏👏👏💯😊💕

WOW, this sounds completely INSANE!!! ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥 You are absulutely AMAZING, Sangah!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love this!!! 💯🔥❤️👏

Smiled at her first rendition, then had tear with the end version.

Her joy and enthusiasm are so infectious! I love it!!!

Gorgeous rendition! Love the creativity.

Amazing - both versions of it! Not really a fan of the piano's tone, but she played it so well!

Bravo 👏 👏👏👏. Just beautiful so see someone master a skill so completely.

Loved watching this! Her hand movements are as mesmerizing as her brilliant mind.

Wow, she’s great!! So fun! I hope you all will do more of these!

Really enjoyed this video. Sangah is Awesome!!! 😎

love watching awesome musicians how they practice, it gives me idea how to practice effectively

This video is amazing. Sangah's reactions are so sincere and joyful. It's wonderful. She has a lot of simple buy effective lessons for everyone, and the little editing touches like playing a super fast version while showing the time lapse was great. I never knew I needed a Jazz version of Rush E. Thank you for giving her the time to practice and experiment!

You nailed it Sangah! Never a doubt.

Pianote is always awesome for expanding excellent musicians into the family. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎹🎹💯💯🤘👏👏👏

This was absolutely amazing!

I fell in love with the jazz version !! amazing !

Excellently done. Even an impossible song is no problem for expert musician Sangah!

What an incredible performance 🎉

OMG I love her version! She's amazing!

As a pianist, I can confirm, Rush E is entry level for all ages.

She is so talented!! 😍

Sangah is a true pianist, a true musician, a true artist 👌 This is a win for pianote 👍😀👏👏👏

So I'm not a piano player myself, however, I think I have a fairly unique relationship with it: My mom teaches piano, from preschool to highschool aged kids. So I'm surrounded by people who love playing the piano, especially with my mom. So I sent her this! First off, her reaction was that everyone wants to learn this song; aka, a lot of her students. But this is a great way to show this level of musical expertise to people who are good at the basics, but haven't gotten into composing or truly listening. It's also a great lesson in how wrong notes don't break a piece. Slight imperfections are rarely noticed by the audience, and even so, they add a personal touch. And when you get to crazy songs like this, the notes will just fall apart... But it works, as long as you have the base of the song still there. It makes the piece feel complete. Thank you for showing us the thought behind each step, it makes me feel connected to my mom, in a time that we're not very close :>

This is so good, how can anybody dislike this ?

Just beautiful playing.

Ways to go!😂 You are a master of your craft. Well done. “Bravo! Sangah 👋👋👋👋 I like to see you two in the studio dress up in Russia costume and do the Russian dances as she play. That will be your punishment for ambushing Sangha. 😂😂😂 Great video it just highlights how talented Sangah really is.

Sangah definitely had a blast with this one. Also, I’d love a pdf or at least a midi of her variation of the piece. Was super cool.

Okay I was already elated by her performance, but watching her "jazz it up" at the end had me grinning ear to ear! She's such a gem~

Sangah is really a star! I also find the Pianote videos super interesting. I wish my English was better so I could make the most of them! Anyway congratulations to all!

Brilliant, loved it! 😍💖

This was really cool! Love her jazzed up interpretation! My gosh, this makes me really want to see Hiromi Uehara go wild with this piece someday XD

Amazing, she's so good! Really nice to see someone who doesn't just play the music but seems to really feel it. I love that!

this is so wholesome

I'm a sponge, soaking it in. This I love. 👍😊🎹👩‍🏫

This is awesome! Well done!

That was really cool and i also loved her jazz variation she did

WOW, that's so much fun 👍😃 It's always awesome if you can have Sangah Noona at your place 👌😀 Best entertainment guaranteed 😊👏👏👏 And we can learn something ❤🎹🎼🎶🎵🎶

love, love, love Sangah's JazzE > RushE...☮💙🎹🎶🎶

Love her! Insanely talented and skilled!

Sangah is the bessttt! that was amazing!!! :D

I love your energy😭💓

Sangha was awesome! Her own version gave me goosebumps all over. Such an amazing rendition in an extremely short amount of time. Great job! 我覺得有種江老師的 vibe 😂 她們可能可以當好朋友 XD

This was so entertaining! Very interesting to see which aspects of the melody she focused on as compared to my own listens. Worth liking!

Just Brilliant!
