Practice vlog: Lessons that make me want to quit piano
I apologise for the amount of aura I produced when playing the piano that I accidentally created an infinity barrier and distorted the mic 🤞
I'll make sure this doesn't happen next time.
Exactly four days before my final graduation recital exam, I decided to take a risky trip and fly from Melbourne to Brisbane for a chance to get a lesson from Maestro Kirill Gerstein, hoping to open new doors and opportunities for my Master's study.
This was particularly risky for me as I follow a very strict routine of practice and mental preparation before any big performances. With my first-ever public concert coming up as well, a three-day trip wasn't exactly ideal for my preparation. However, Maestro K...

Lesson 6: Learn ANY song faster on piano
Просмотров 924Месяц назад
Discovering your most efficient practice method might seem like finding a secret shortcut to learning new music. However, the truth is quite the opposite. Your goal isn't to find a quicker way to learn music; the fastest method is to practice without making any mistakes or allowing bad habits to get in the way. Therefore, the most efficient practice method involves practicing as slowly as neces...

Practice with me as I get my Tchaik. 1 ready for performance. I focus on memorisation and fluency of the recapitulation and the coda. I'm very excited to share recordings of my practice as it shows the hidden prep for well-polished performances you are used to seeing on youtube. 90% of the work for any performing arts is hidden from the audience, sort of like an iceberg if you will. I hope you ...

Sorry about the late upload. I know that a lot of people have been waiting for another lesson video. Lesson 3 uses Für Elise as an example of how I would practice a new piece for the first time. This video does not focus on the musicality, but instead the logical methods and steps we have to consider before "playing" the piece. These include: background knowledge of the piece and composer, stru...

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.
I don’t think I agree with this
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.
This one lesson from him changed my perspective on phrasing and since then, I feel like I've matured as a musician.
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.
I am very familiar with this feeling, as it was my life throughout high school too. The difference is that when I was 16, I lacked the courage to express my feelings and didn’t really have anyone to talk about this with. Unfortunately, anxiety is an inherent part of working in the performing arts industry, and it often intensifies as you progress. I understand all the challenges that come with playing the piano up to the age of 16, and it's not easy. My advice is to use the discipline and commitment you've developed to pursue your current/future goal. Be resilient even if your path leads you away from music. Who's to say that another pursuit won't be just as challenging or even more difficult as playing the piano?
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 :)
Thank you for watching
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
gosh why did i do this to myself
What a good experience. I hope your exam and public concert went well!
All the best for your graduation recital! Pls do more videos!
Ofc! The recorded performance and vlog is coming soon!
@@seankimmmmmm looking forward to it! I just watched your other videos and has started to change me practice habits 🙏🏼
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?
Gerstein is the single best performer I've ever heard live. (no glaze) I would like to enter competitions that I have a chance of winning at 😭 so probably not. Maybe in 4 years we'll see
@@seankimmmmmm you got dis!!!!! 🔥
hi Sean! What camera do u use?
Hi Qingng, I use an entry level sony zv-1F vlogging camera
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?
It's hard for me to cover everything since you actually asked 3 different questions 😭 but in general, no one plays a piece perfectly. Not even professionals. So don't beat yourself up for making one wrong note out of 3 million notes in a piece. You can secure your fingers by practicing very hard and slow (but make sure that you don't end up playing too hard or too slow in performance). Lastly, never expect to play well the first time you perform a piece in public. Public performance is a skill that needs to be practiced on its own (which means performing in public more frequently). I hope this helps.
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?
yeah sorry for the confusion. I meant write in the note names for people who have trouble reading notes off of the staff
@@seankimmmmmm ah, thanks for the clarification
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
I'll give you another challenge: how slow can you play an etude but still make it sound musical and project? This approach helped me a ton. Lemme know what you think
@@seankimmmmmm yeah that's a really interesting way to doing it. Helps with really bringing out the musicality of the left hand in op 10 no 12
my only suggestion, add a bit of rubato here in there and its perfect, maybe its just my taste tho lol, good performance regardless!
Thanks for listening!
this becomes harder when you have a 5 voices fugue
I don't even want to go there
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!
I'm glad you're liking my content. I also would like to put content out more frequently so I'm currently trying to figure out an effective system that works
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?
I want the emphasis that it is entirely up to you whether you take a break or not. However, it's more important that you do the slow 10 minutes for the next couple of days before playing it fast again or putting it all together.
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!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you liked it 😀
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?
Someone is paying attention to my videos 😂 1. Practice left hand separately and if it was written as left hand solo (play it musically as this will help you anchor the notes under your fingers) 2. always keep your hands as close to the keyboard as possible, especially during jumps 3. pay attention to the chord/harmonic progressions and don't miss any notes inside the chords I hope this helps
@@seankimmmmmm When I finish I'll upload it for you :)
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
Perfectly said.
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!
Thank you so much
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
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
crazy good! wish you good luck on the rach sonata
