Just recently discovered this channel -- I dropped out of conservatory last year, but your enthusiasm for music is contagious and makes me want to start practicing again! It's nice to see that there are pianists who don't practice scales, now I feel a lot better about only learning "actual music" haha
You are insane, seriously :D I started playing piano this year & I am really enjoying it. I have no theoretical musical knowledge whatsoever, but I love learning & playing classical pieces. The depressing thing about your videos is that I know I could never ever play the piano like you do. Im not even talking about the technical side, its just.. your understanding of music is simply on another level, its an honor to watch you play. You must have started at a very young age and sometimes I wonder how I could play if I started at like 4 or 5 as well. What I am trying to say is that your videos generate this conflict in me, I just enjoy watching someone feeling the music like you do, on the other hand its a depressing thought that I could never even come close to you haha :D Sincerly, a loving fan from Germany :)
Oh wow, thanks for alot for those kind words, but I doubt that my English is even close as good as your German haha :) I didnt even figure out that you were a foreigner until you mentioned it, which is really impressive because that never happend to me before. I always thought that it would be nearly impossible to master german as a second or even third language, so I am really amazed by that. Although its true that should never stop learning, I fear my problem is something different. With only 18 years of age I still have a lot of time to grow, but the level of understanding of music that artists who studied music since their early childhood have, well, that is truly impossible to reach for people like me. However, I do not even share the intension of filling concert halls, just playing the piano for myself or a small group of friends is rewarding enough for me (I did play around with the thought of uploading stuff to RUclips as well, but mainly in order to get some criticism & to improve because of it). But I still envy musicians like Tiffany (in an appreciative way) because not only do they have the talent, they also dedicated their life to music which is a lovely thought, isnt it? Even if I learn a piece until I am able to play it to perfection, maybe even as good as Tiffany, I still wouldnt reach her level. You simply need the theoretical knowledge as well. For example, I can play Chopin´s Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 pretty well, but that doesnt really make me a good piano player does it? Again, thank you for your words and sorry for the long text, maybe I should have written it in German to be a litle bit more on point, but I hope you understand what I am trying to say anyway.
@@bl-ade Hello. I'm Victoria from Ukraine. I'm 18yo too. And I feel you, when you are talking about that conflict in yourself. When I'm playing piano, I feel really happy. I have no musical education and dreaming of playing piano, maybe even of becoming pianist a lot. And love classical music very much. Now I haven't piano, but doing everything I can to improve my pitch and rhythm. Just do what I can. I hope we could chat and become friends, because of common passion for music, motivating and helping each other.
I feel you, brethren. I started playing this year as well, and I think the best piece I can play is the Moonlight Sonata first movement, lol. I really want to get into Chopin (specially etudes), but my playing speed and accuracy is too low as of now. However, I will keep on practicing until I master piano in general (even tho I can't even read music sheet yet lol) 15 years old btw
jason reeve thank you so much! I passed the exam and now I’m preparing for Diploma in Performing. I still don’t like scales tho but still do it from time to time to warm up my fingers ( i always warm up so it’s not a from time to time thing)
Uyen Nguyen If it’s the ARSM Diploma you’re talking about then have no fear. I did it two years ago and it was far more enjoyable and relaxed than the grade 8. Just lovely music and no scales!
Tiffany, thank you so much for sharing these vids. Your touch on the Nocturne was so wonderful, even when just casually practicing. I'm a professional studio guitarist in Los Angeles....and you are my favorite young classical pianist :) Video suggestion: I would love to see a vid of HOW you practice and approach learning a new piece!
the way your eyes light up when you play and the musicality in every touch even the casual ones is truly inspirational as an aspiring musician myself ❤️
I’m not a stalker, but when I was in band and was learning piano in middle school I stumbled upon one of your videos of you playing & I’ve loved watching your playing ever since then, I think it’s been like 5 years lol and I’ve always comeback to your videos because your playing is SO beautiful !! But now I’m like 17 so I’m not some weird old man haha 😂 but I admire your talent so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟
Yeah, I figured she probably doesn't warm up in a typical fashion. She's already put well beyond her 10,000 hours toward mastery of the instrument. Scales just aren't necessary anymore. Unless she went into jazz maybe. There are countless scales far beyond major/minor to master in jazz...and the advanced harmonic language involved. But anyway, it's certainly interesting to hear about but I always feel that prodigies like her can't offer much in the way of a path toward mastery because so much of what they know about music is intuitive and they don't fully understand themselves HOW they do a lot of what they do. And they don't understand the struggles of those who weren't gifted with that level of talent or opportunity.
Yeah I think that’s why many masters of piano just can’t teach teens/ young adults because they never really went through that learning phase. Just like I can’t teach someone to speak English, I learnt it intuitively as a young child and don’t really have any recollection of how that happened - I assume a similar process occurs with learning instruments from a young age.
Thank you so much for the tips on warming up! I play cello but these talks are still super helpful! You are an amazing pianist and I’m so thankful you are doing what your doing! Never stop! Seriously 2 minutes into the first video I watched I was like, yup I’m definitely subscribing! Love you Tiffany!!!
I would love to see a video of you digging into a new piece. Would be really helpful to see how you approach learning new music that you, for example, had to play in a few months for jury or recital.
...speaking of scales and exercises, do you ever use a metronome? Beethoven famously thought it was ‘useless’, and I don’t think much of it either, but I’m interested in your opinion.
Hey Tiffany! Thanks so much for your video! This was very helpful! I am a pianist and piano teacher and I love watching you play!! :) Video Ideas: 1. A Day in the Life of Julliard 2. A video of you practicing 3. Show us how you would learn a new piece 4. Practice strategies for tricky sections
I politely disagree with you on technical studies. Many students cannot get their technique from pieces alone. Hannon - the Virtuoso Pianist, therefore, is extremely beneficial in that they are very simple to learn for the very young. Consequently the student can immediately begin acquire technique in the shortest space of time. I notice that they do not study octaves and double notes in the grade 7 and 8 examinations . However, they are easy to learn them in Hannon as soon as the student can span octaves. Rachmaninoff practiced Hannon and he was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century.
Hi Tiffany, I encountered a video of you playing Mozart K330 when I was learning it myself earlier this year. I have been following your performance videos since. Glad you start doing vlogs. I love your sense of humor! I was wondering if you could make a video talking about what is your approach/routine things to do when you first learn a new piece? I’m also curious that at your level, what kind of music do you find most challenging in terms of techniques and/or interpretation. And who’s your favorite composer at the moment? Really hope you could see the comment!
I get what you're saying about the Chopin and other etudes but they are massive pieces that take years of practise just to attempt them. You know this of course so i think when people are about exercises and what not they're looking for more beginners ones. Maybe the czerny exercises or the Brahms one?
Omg I love your channel I’m 19 I graduate university at 23. Just done my grade 8 Abram hoping to do performance diploma. I wanna be a paid classical pianist your such an inspiration I love how passionate you are with the piano :)
Scales are important, but i found them boring too! As an amateur i just learn some chopin ballades and rachmaninoff. For example the Rach2. It well get you practice every technique you need to play the piano!
This is great, most pianists think they are something else. You are not. I like that! And these are great tips. Being a pianist is quite lonely the time, I think this is a great way to connect to other people
If you like Chopin Op 45 (the "other" C# minor prelude) I wonder if you would consider the cadenza of that is a sort of warm-up exercise (bonus being it is 20% of the piece learnt!) - or maybe something like the end of the Nocturn Op9#3 ?? I play some scales, but only the ones I like! 😝
I probably spent an hour or two looking-up Ravel, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and the different things that you mentioned. And the rest of the day going off on tangents. Also bought your album off of iTunes but haven't listened to it yet
I'm so glad you said no to scales, I have just started playing and after 8 lessons I am ready to do easy version of 1st movement of moonlight sonata, this is not to show off but to say that the best way for me to learn is to play my fave music, I will never take grades or give a concert so I will do what I want and this means "no" to hours of doing scales which are mind numbing lol.
Whew, good, then I'm not the only one. I prefer to practice my pieces, and invent drilling exercises on the fly concerning their various difficulties. Standard technique is not only boring, but there is so much of it that trying to decide which to work on each day was overwhelming.
I miss music school! :( I did my graduate studies at Eastman which was my masterclass professor's alma mater. I did my undergraduate at my local university in Canada😊
Thanks for your awesome videos Tiffany! Would you consider doing a session on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata /third movement? Maybe giving advice and speaking about your experiences with it, for those of us that are working on it. Thanks again and keep going!
Great tips... what about when you have a performance and cant warmup before you play? Even worse if its a piano you have never played before haha... thanks for the video!
Hey Tiffany!! I love your piano videos and I always get inspired by you. I got to know you from your instagram profile. So I bought a keyboard for myself and started playing. I'm a beginner so could you suggest me how to be good at playing piano?
I know you have played the Ondine before but you should try the entire Gaspard de la Nuit you would be able to produce powerful sounds in the Scarbo especially
There is a divide between pianists who think tech-etudes help and those who don't. The truth is somewhere in between. For some (like me) an etude helps, but - compare Nahre Sol - sometimes YOU can make studies from the problems that arise when you are learning a new piece. The good teacher can show a "road" of real music with gradually increasing difficulties and knows that there are so many different kinds of moves which must be mastered. It is obvious that some people has it coming more naturally as it will if you begin to bang a piano at age 3. I tried but they said I couldn't play ... so they closed the piano in the kindergarten :!:
I listened very quietly , in the early hours here and read the subtitles. I have my book to read on the development of ' paper ' and with much history in China, you do help. The glissando at the end always looks painful.
For me it's basicly finding structures in the music and harmonic relationships between them, then i have way less to memorize than if i were to remember every single note... Also, after playing something multiple times, something called "muscle memory" kicks in. It means that the brain actually automatizes the movement of the muscles, which also is why i can play certain pieces like the piano/harpsichord part of the 2nd movement of the BWV1028 Sonata (J.S. Bach) or Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu eventhough i haven't played them a lot or for a long time.
Lol she just said “why don’t you go and lear actual music to develop technique, like Chopin, Lizst and Rach etudes” i would need years of aditional training for that :(
I think for a child or beginner that starts piano should do hanon to strengthen their fingers. Theres no way a beginner can play chopin etudes. Hanon is easier to read than chopin/liszt etudes.
I would love to hear you play the Adagio from Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 (Emperor). I get the impression that he was just randomly playing up and down the keyboard when he came up with the idea. He seems to change the tempo in places, and almost jumps in early on some bars.
I hope anyone watching this can realize that she has gone past her era of technical foundations so long ago that she doesn't need it, but that doesn't mean technical exercises won't help with your playing.
never was subscribe to your channel, but time to time youtube put me your videos and i looked through them. Sometimes i found a nice music, (especially hung. rap. 2 - imho your perfomance are the best on youtube), sometimes not. But vlogs are really different format of, i was surprised. Because i playing a piano like a hobby, your videos motivates me to practice and help tofind some new music to play. According to what I wrote, i wish to see in vlogs "tips and tricks" content about practice/playing piano and your personal thinking about practice and perfomance at all. So, now you get +1 subscriber :>
So it looks like there's a lot more to learn after discovering middle C
good one. made me chuckle
This is still practical you also have to learn theory and there are levels until level 8
@@maralsalbashian3517 and then there is ARSM, dipABRSM, LRSM, FRSM and then the levels of difficulty beyond that 😂
Hahahahahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂
Omg I literally love how adorable she is;)
Agreed!
Agreed!
Agreed! Came for the piano, stayed for the cuteness and...good advice too.

You can do it,if you play the piano more than 10,000 hours. A long journey always starts with the first step.

ME (Dies inside): "Yeah that base..." (Lights up 5-oct midi, starts practicing)
I like your humor, nice and natural.
Finally got to know someone has the same opinion as mine. I dislike scales so much :( but still have to do it for grade 8 ABRSM.
Uyen Nguyen I hope you passed

I literally stayed up all night waiting for you to upload 😅😆💕 Definitely worth it! 😍
It is so very joyful to watch such a young person at the start of what undoubtably will be a spectacular career -
A beer and binge watching Tiffany’s vlog is the best opening for new year 2021 woohoo

warm up with Ravel's La Valse...boss
i would like to see a video of you practicing, at your most natural state :/ practice like you don't even know you are recording. i find it amusing
I'll post one of her practicing on my account, which window should I use?
Kidding of course, don't call the policeXD

Hi Tiffany thanks for the tip in this video might as well play Chopin Etudes instead of boring scales like Hanon books 📚👍

You can try the Heller etudes Op 45, if you are not yet ready for Chopin etudes, they are quite musical (i.ẹ Op 45 no 18)

Thanks for the video =)
I completely agree with your opinion on scales and technical exercises
Great chops. I love rehearsal rooms, for the polyphony.
Great teacher!
Whew, good, then I'm not the only one. I prefer to practice my pieces, and invent drilling exercises on the fly concerning their various difficulties. Standard technique is not only boring, but there is so much of it that trying to decide which to work on each day was overwhelming.
Thank you Tiffany! I love this videos. You are briliant pianist!
I miss music school! :( I did my graduate studies at Eastman which was my masterclass professor's alma mater. I did my undergraduate at my local university in Canada😊
Very entertaining Tiffany, you seem a really nice genuine, awesomely talented, gifted young lady!
Do you compose?
Kev CMD no not good enough like Marc andre hamelin
She said it in a recent QnA, she doesn't
Thanks for that, I'll definitely take a look at the Etudes because I find the exercises boring too.
Love your music. You are an inspiration.
I laughed so much when you say "improve your technique or something" @8:24 That's exactly how I feel about technical exercises :D
Extremely helpful.. thank you tiff..! ❤️👍👍
YOU ARE A VERY TALENTED GIRL. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED WRITING YOUR OWN COMPOSITION?
Thanks for your awesome videos Tiffany! Would you consider doing a session on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata /third movement? Maybe giving advice and speaking about your experiences with it, for those of us that are working on it. Thanks again and keep going!
Thanks you Tiffany. My name is Gerardo from Puerto Rico. I like your videos
Would you mind telling me the piece you played before Chopin nocturne op.27 please. It’s beautiful 🤩
Certainly agree about etudes Vs dry technical exercises. Love the Chopin and Alkan ones, although some of the Alkan etudes are slightly insane.
Great tips... what about when you have a performance and cant warmup before you play? Even worse if its a piano you have never played before haha... thanks for the video!
Thanks Tiff for your sharing. Could you also give some tips on how to memorize songs? Would really appreciate it.
That opening, so cuuute omgggg
Hello ! I like your video and story on instagram so much ! 😍
Btw May i know how you learn a fast piece ?
Or
How to play fast ?
Very creative fingering you used for the bass of the chopin nocturne - hands crossing
You inspire me to keep progressing! Have you ever considered doing a tutorial on any of chopins works?
im doing a tiffany vid binge now aaaaaa
Thanks for the help!
I think the ending scale part of Chopin's piano concerto, third mov. is good for warm ups :)) Still watching this in 2020 💕
Hey Tiffany!! I love your piano videos and I always get inspired by you. I got to know you from your instagram profile. So I bought a keyboard for myself and started playing. I'm a beginner so could you suggest me how to be good at playing piano?
Glad to see you doing warm ups. Hahaha tbh you're one of my inspiration in playing piano. :D
Unbelievable. She play's the Rachmaninoff Concerto Number 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Whose transcription of La Valse do you play? (I was under the impression that Ravel only wrote a x4 handed version + the orchestral...)
Ravel wrote for the piano originally before orchestrating it :)
The pieces you warm up on are the ones I spend ages working on lol.
Love itttt ❤️❤️❤️
That RH fingering in C-major .. :D made me chuckle
I listened very quietly , in the early hours here and read the subtitles. I have my book to read on the development of ' paper ' and with much history in China, you do help. The glissando at the end always looks painful.
How do you do to memorize? Do you have a special technique or it just come with the time?
For me it's basicly finding structures in the music and harmonic relationships between them, then i have way less to memorize than if i were to remember every single note...
Also, after playing something multiple times, something called "muscle memory" kicks in. It means that the brain actually automatizes the movement of the muscles, which also is why i can play certain pieces like the piano/harpsichord part of the 2nd movement of the BWV1028 Sonata (J.S.

Could you please do a video of the D flat nocturne you started to play.
😊 hi
You play the piano amazing 😍
Happy holidays 🤗
弹的走心不错。最近在弹肖邦八度练习曲，很喜欢你弹肖邦的作品继续加油吧哈哈哈哈
Lol she just said “why don’t you go and lear actual music to develop technique, like Chopin, Lizst and Rach etudes” i would need years of aditional training for that :(
I think for a child or beginner that starts piano should do hanon to strengthen their fingers. Theres no way a beginner can play chopin etudes. Hanon is easier to read than chopin/liszt etudes.

Hi from Azerbaijan! I love your warm up videos much. And u are cute as well.
I would love to hear you play the Adagio from Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 (Emperor). I get the impression that he was just randomly playing up and down the keyboard when he came up with the idea. He seems to change the tempo in places, and almost jumps in early on some bars.
Loving the Freddy Krueger sweater!!!
What pieces are you working on at the moment?
Hi Tiffany. Whats the name of the composer you are obsesed ?

I hope anyone watching this can realize that she has gone past her era of technical foundations so long ago that she doesn't need it, but that doesn't mean technical exercises won't help with your playing.
never was subscribe to your channel, but time to time youtube put me your videos and i looked through them. Sometimes i found a nice music, (especially hung. rap. 2 - imho your perfomance are the best on youtube), sometimes not. But vlogs are really different format of, i was surprised.
Because i playing a piano like a hobby, your videos motivates me to practice and help tofind some new music to play. According to what I wrote, i wish to see in vlogs "tips and tricks" content about practice/playing piano and your personal thinking about practice and perfomance at all.
So, now you get +1 subscriber :>
