A lesson is not a concert or a competition, it seems like you approach it as such. even during the lesson, as the professor tells you something you nod and agree, no conversation nor discussion about anything. It feels like an athlete getting coached, even the "feelings" you have after the lessons are, in my opinion, very harming for you. how can an hour and a half time spent together with a fantastic pianist and teacher end up with mixed feelings or even pain? aren't you an artist first before all? shouldn't a lesson be a meeting between artist with sometimes different opinions? please don't take this as criticism, I was the same until a few years ago.

You play extremely well❤ stay positive. What you believe you will achieve!😃

Simply Wow!!!

Yes, it is practically impossible to do only piano full time, if you're not an absolute genius. You have to teach, compose, arrange, or sth else beside playing concerts. If you're not a piano star in the age of 18, then you'll probably never be in the future. It's sad but true. Being good is not good enough, basically. You have to be different than anybody else.

Terrible sound from that mic, nice video

this told me to get my ass up and work i want to be a successful composer-keyword and i teach piano now but i wanna get so much better at classical performance so thank you for the motivation

BRUH UR ALGORITHM IS CRACKED U KEEP SHOWING UP IN MY FEED EVERYTIME AFTER I WATCH YUJA WANG💀 -VICKY

I can't believe you had an opportunity to take a lesson with Kirill Gerstein--how exciting! I met him in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. Very impressive man.

Their have definitly been times where I cried after lessons and felt like I'm wasting my time practicing. It doesn't help having an 87 year russian teacher who barely speaks english. I think being a musician and having piano be at the forfront of your life leads you to believe that any critisim of your ability or musical ideas is a personal attack because of how close you hold music to your identity. This can lead to you either letting go of the grasp that music holds to your identity and enjoying your life with out persuing music or understanding that critisim from teachers doesn't point to a lack of skill but a level up in ability making your instrument a more fluid and easy use of expression for yourself and your own happiness, therefor persuing music. Im 16 so I still don't know what the fuck I want to do in my life lol. I just hope I can do somtthing important and note-worthy , in piano(Probably not) or something else. An average life is just not a life worth living.

Hi Sean

Always enjoy your take on things!

Chin up boi you’ll make it happen 😁😁

This was an awesome vlog man, looking forward to seeing more of your journey - subbed :)

You have a magnetic presence. This will serve you well in your future endeavors as a pianist. I feel that you will go places and go far!!!!!!!

the mistake was moving to melbourne

What a good experience. I hope your exam and public concert went well!

All the best for your graduation recital! Pls do more videos!

Gerstein is a legend. I was lucky enough to see him perform Rachmaninoff Paganini Variations live in the front row with a great view of his hands many year ago - it was sheer perfection. it’s so awesome that you managed to get a lesson from him. Sounds like he really worked you hard - clearly he thought you were good enough to be pushed. Good luck with your upcoming recital and public performance! Also, do you think you’ll be applying for the Chopin Competition next year?

hi Sean! What camera do u use?

You’ve got a great attitude, disposition and work ethic. You will go far, keep at it.

I love kirill he is an amazing person and is an awsome pianist

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I was formerly a student at your level before I switched careers. (Btw I'm working on the same piece, feel free to check it out on my channel!) Frankly I don't think I would have done what you did, and I would certainly have done worse than you did. There are many professional pianists who are great people, but it doesn't mean they will have good chemistry with you, and taking lessons with them could be quite destructive, despite their best intentions. I'm glad it turned out positively for you in the end. Keep up the good work!

Love this piano sonata so much! Good luck with your recital and concert!!

Good luck with ur recital and the concert!!! Ur gonna slay

heyy seankimm, goodlucckk for ur recital and public concert!! i know u can do ittt!!

Sean, listen to me: I know you kind-a-blame YOURSELF for the way things went. But, honestly HE AND NO-ONE-ELSE is to blame. I mean, HOW can you summon a person to be present at a certain time for his DRIVER LICENCE...ORAL EXAM...BALLET EXAM.....or in your case a PIANO EXAM and then push the time back with AN HOUR!! What kind of PEDAGOG even considers doing something like that. I don't know it this following example will help you: the captain of the DUTCH football team Virgil VAN DIJK(also captain of Liverpool) said that the LONGEST WALK he made, was when he had to walk from the middle circle to the goal in the PENALTY SERIES against the later champion ARGENTINA in order to get to the FINAL in QATAR. He said that it took him HOURS to get to the PENALTY STIP. And so.....of course he swept you from your feet when he told you that he would LATE AN HOUR. Again: do NOT blame yourself secretly, for there's just NO REASON to do so. And honestly....YOU didn't play that bad either. Ah.........you know what: F**********CK HIM...........HE'S SOOOOO FULL OF IT!!! I'll include a hearing in the House of Representative with the former head of the FBI. I want you to imagine that YOU are doing the questioning and HIM sitting there instead of miss Cheatle. And I want YOU to respond to HIS response to YOUR line of questioning. Again: it is NOT miss Cheatly who is sitting there: IT'S THAT BASTARD OF A PEDAGOG!! ENJOY: ruclips.net/video/SqJ1XcWF2M0/видео.html

i never play my piece perfectly, there will always one or two mistake like slip finger, i played the C# instead of C note which is the correct one, kind of that, can you share me tips hownto check whether i'm secured to play in public or not? or maybe because i still haven't fix the mistakes enough and drill the correct one? or i need specific technique to overcome it?

Very hepful ❤️❤️❤️ I'm looking forward to watching your next videos 🥰

Holy friggin horse piss Batman this man has a beautiful voice and the other guy is playing beautiful as well. Nothing like the combo of of a beautiful voice and a piano.

Nice video, just one question, what do you mean by writing in the notes? Aren’t the notes already there?

This was a super helpful video. Im currently learning chopin etudes and I also need to remember to not just play thru the piece as soon as im able to but to actually build all the strength and accuracy thru slow and meticulous practice first. I learned Ballad no. 1 in way longer than I had to due to poor practice strategies. Need to reminf myself to have more patience fs

my only suggestion, add a bit of rubato here in there and its perfect, maybe its just my taste tho lol, good performance regardless!

this becomes harder when you have a 5 voices fugue

Great channel. Great information. I'd rather you spend less time on the special effects if that helps you put more content out! Thanks so much!

12:40 lmaoo. Thanks for the tips, I will definitely try this methodical approach in my next piece!

when you practice a phrase slowly for say 10mins, do you walk away and take a break before continuing? Or do you just move on to the next section?

When it comes to arts and other social sciences, I don't believe in numbers. It's either you F/P (Fail or Pass) or O/E Outstanding or Exceptional... I would have given you an O/E!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you realize I'm kissing you?

Lucky is the student who has a Piano Teacher as cute, handsome and smart as Sean Kim!!!!

This video was really helpful! Do you have any more specific tips for tackling the left hand arpeggios and the chord section that comes in the later half of Rach 2 first mvt?

My piano teacher explained the same thing to me, that practicing the wrong thing at first will cause problems later on and will be much harder to fix than if you practice it correctly the first time (practice makes permanent, not perfect). So for those out there that think it's too tedious to get each note correctly, it helps a ton to write it down if you aren't that good at sight reading as he said. One tip for memorization that's worth mentioning here, is that it's a skill that can be trained. Practice memorizing something for 30 minutes a day, and eventually your memory will become much more confident, you'll be able to memorize more and more, in less and less time. I don't know how to explain it but memorizing a measure or page before i play it feels like cheating because i'm able to put both hands together after just playing through it once or twice lol

Thank you so much for sharing your practice! I'll definitely come back to this video a whole bunch when I finally get around learning this Sonata. One of my favorites by Rachmaninoff. Good luck on your recital!

11:08 You sound exactly like me when I don't want to practise a specific part, but I know I need to xD

From Jack, Kazu, Blake, Jules, Kasino, Alex, Zane (Also you owe Alex $50 for food)

Thanks

crazy good! wish you good luck on the rach sonata

you got this bro!!!💪

In the beginning I thought my computer screen was malfunctioning 🙃
