I am a beginner (mature self learning) when l feel confident l'm getting somewhere you bring out another vid opening up more insight into how complicated learning piano is. But l'm so grateful for your extremely informative and descriptive explanations. In every vid you have released l have learned and discovered more than any other resource l could find. Keep up the great work 🙏🙏
Learning never stops, as long as you aim to improve yourself. I'm still learning, too! In fact, I recently learned something new from one of the comments to this video. It's great that we can learn together on this new platform!
Thanks a lot for the content 😭❤, i am a music teacher who never really learn the 60% instruments i teach 😅 like piano 😰, but i think know the basics of a good technique because of my manymany hours in guitar haha, but i didnt really know the books the actuals piano teachers use (i use to teach hanon in the first lessons 😅 until i saw your video wich i am really glad) i am very glad to find your channel 💎💎💎 i really really apriciate the content you make about piano lessons and how to teach it 🥰👌🏻
Thank you! Tips for small hands really depends on the hands' size/shape/flexibility and what the music calls for, but I think I shared a few tricks in this video: ruclips.net/video/qFmEthzB3QM/видео.html
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from bar 19 (c. 2 mins), the necessity for sostenuto use isn't required because the bass notes are only notated at dotted minims (dotted half note), without the tie for the remaining dotted crotchet (dotted quarter note) where the use of the sostenuto would be more applicable. Perhaps Debussy wrote it that way because it wasn't his intention for the bass to be sustained to the end of the bar? Having said that, there is a specific inconsistency 13 of the bass, where Debussy has indicated the tied dotted crotchet, whilst in bar 14 he hasn't and there is nothing harmonically present to not warrant the tie being there. Pascal Rogé ( ruclips.net/video/c977QdbTImU/видео.html ) doesn't use it. Daniel Barenboim in his analysis of the work ( ruclips.net/video/XiWfPJLp2ko/видео.html ) uses an array of different pedalling, sometimes accentuating the dissonances, other times less so. I think in this piece the dissonance (tension) is an emotive characteristic of the piece and how much or how little you utilise or accentuate these dissonances are down to personal taste; however, to justify nullifying some of them by using the Sostenuto pedal I don't think is Debussy's intention.
Very good point! To be honest with you, I did not realize the dotted half notes being only 6 beats until I read your comment. Perhaps I too got tricked by 9/8 rhythm :) However, at the same time, there is no rest at the end of each measure for the bass, either. Usually in multi-part writing like this, you would fill all the beats with either notes or rests for each part. For example, bar 13 has 3 8th rests in LH to fill the beats for the upper part of LH. So from the score, we cannot conclude whether these bass notes should be sustained or not. Now that the composer has passed, nobody can tell what his true intention was. Like you said, it comes down to the pianist's personal taste. I had to decide how much dissonance to utilize in many places in this music, and even though this time I decided to use sostenuto here, my interpretation may very well change in the future. Thank you for your fantastic comment!
Thank you so much! Never knew about the poem, I will do the homework. My piano only has 2 pedals, unfortunately. But I do what I can for the sostenuto effect.
PJR76 / Big Phil left a very interesting comment about use of sostenuto pedal. If don't have it, perhaps you can leave the dissonance but experiment with adding diminuendo at the end or half-changing damper pedal.
Fantastic tutorial, check out Jason from the Nathaniel school on tips in rhythm this might help you and students in fun way of counting rhythm!?... Thank you kind regards from Worrell Robinson
My piano doesn’t have a sostenuto padel 😢. It has the damper in the middle and a pedal that shortens the note left and a pedal that echoes the note right
Why can't we just count 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3...? Not sure what would happen? Does the first beat of the 9 get more stress? *1*-2-3 / 4-5-6 / 7-8-9 / *1*-2-3 / etc etc?
You can do 123 123 123, but that won't tell you where you are in the measure. First beats of every 3 beats get emphasis, but also beat 1 gets more emphasis tyan 4 and 7. When you count and feel the beats properly, these natural emphasis occurs and changes the overall feel of the music.

Wow. The time signature correction into the 9/8 was pretty REVEALING! Awesome demonstration, thank you.
This was absolutely greatly taught and edited in an engaging and easy to follow even in the tinier details, thank you so much!
Love this video and the in depth analysis of learning the piece!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for this very profound and useful video!
輝くん、引き続きのドビッシー楽しく見ています。ありがとう❣️
まず、最初の123.456.789の基本のリズムの取り方、原点にかえってもう一度頭の中で数えながら復習です。
ペダルは、私は真ん中は使った事がなかったです🤭
月の光では、ソフトペダルを使ってましたが、ちょっと挑戦してみます。
自己流になってた月の光を、もう一度丁寧にやり直しです😊
芸術の世界はいつまでたっても学ぶことが尽きません。そこが楽しいところでもあるのですが。
今回は視聴者の方から、僕の気づかなかった音符の表記に関するコメントと、それを理由に真ん中のペダルを使わなくてもいいのではというコメントをもらいました。幸いにもこのビデオで言ったことは間違ってはいませんでしたが、確かにそういう解釈もありだなと改めて考えさせられました。
これからも一緒に学んでいきましょう。
I love aLL of your videos! I so wish you had been my teacher when I was young. You explain , and demonstrate how to play superbly.

Tysm for sharing this!!!🙏🎶
How about making a video with tips for small hands??? PLEASE🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!
Tips for small hands really depends on the hands' size/shape/flexibility and what the music calls for, but I think I shared a few tricks in this video:

@@AkiraIkegamiChannel yes, I half pedal and leave the dissonance , adding a bit of the left pedal
Very well. Excellent lesson. Thanks. I subscribed. Cheers.

Your Lie in April is the reason I started learning piano.
Thanks!
Thank you for Super Thanks!
Looking forward to meeting you for lessons.
My piano doesn’t have a sostenuto padel 😢. It has the damper in the middle and a pedal that shortens the note left and a pedal that echoes the note right
at 19:25 the Cb is missing.
so you use sostenuto pedal only when it sounds clustered with the dampener pedal right?
Why can't we just count 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3...? Not sure what would happen? Does the first beat of the 9 get more stress? *1*-2-3 / 4-5-6 / 7-8-9 / *1*-2-3 / etc etc?

Would like a few piano lessons to master Clare de Lune for my neice's wedding, please. How can we arrange this?
Clair.
That's a wonderful idea. I'll be happy to help!
