I'm so pleased you like the clarity. You might also be interested in my book, Successful Pratising: A handbook for pupils, parents and music teachers, available from www.jennymacmillan.co.uk/successful-practising.html.
I just found this... excellent demonstration... teaching... very clear... I am quite a beginner.. 18 months ago I started from scratch... this was most helpful... I subscribed due to the high quality.... thank you! I am learning the first mov... learning the 3rd too as a work in progress... an excellent channel...
Thank you for your enthusiasm - glad my tutorial seems helpful. You might also find my book, Successful Practising, helpful (on www.jennymacmillan.co.uk). Good luck with your pianistic progress!
@@jennymacmillan8027 thank you... again!! I saw years of excellent experience... a great teacher... i will definitely get your book....and also enjoy learning from your channel....
Bravo on completing book 3. As you continue with book 4, remember continually to revise book 3 (and 2 and 1). In that way your technique will become more and more secure, and your musicianship will develop much more rapidly.
Hello Jenny, thanks for the video. The part I struggle the most with this piece is playing the scales and arpeggios up to speed. I suspect it is because of incorrect (not enough) wrist movement when up to speed. Do you have any suggestions or any other video that attacks scales or arpeggios specifically? Thanks!
On the contrary, I think the wrists should stay still (though relaxed and supple) when playing scales (slow or fast). The whole arm moves up (or down) the keyboard, but not in (towards the black notes) and out; and wrist not moving up or down. Imagine your wrist is pulled along the keyboard by a silk thread - just gliding smoothly - minimum movement. Let the fingers quietly do the agile work.
0:40 Hi, not really can see your hand movement ...do you use same finger or switching finger at repeat note as the score show? Just wondering what is the purpose switch finger at repeat note? If use same finger will it create bad technique?
I change fingers for repeated notes, as marked in the score. The reason is that it's easier to prepare the next finger if it's a different finger rather than the same finger - the finger for the second note can lift and prepare to play while the finger for the first note is still following through from that stroke. It's generally considered a good idea to change fingers for clearer articulation. It also helps to give the pulse - a strong-soft on each pair of notes rather than both notes being of equal strength - though it's not impossible to vary the sound by using the same finger.
Yes, indeed, you're right! And the details make the difference between just playing the notes, and making the piece interesting and performing it musically!
+김일심 There are 7 books of music in the Suzuki piano repertoire. Working through the repertoire with a trained Suzuki teacher equips students with all the musical and technical skills they require to study the great piano literature. I have videoed tutorials on studying each piece in books 1 to 4.
I hope you keep posting videos for book 5. Your advice is needed and appreciated ! I also learn the cello and tutorials on more difficult pieces after book 5 are hard to find indeed. But of course and most important, thank you for what is done, internet is magic for home learning !
Thanks for sharing this Clementi piece, it's lovely and l like your tempo.❤
Thank you - I hope you enjoy studying the piece!
Wonderfully clear instruction and demonstration!
Thank you Jenny

I have the same problem as Rick Lindquist. I am not able to hear you so I do not understand what are you saying. Thanks
I'm up to book three!
+Zhiyang Zhu Well done! Enjoy book 3!
Hands together 7:17
And I'm up to this song
This is helpful, but you need to clip a mic on your person; it's difficult to hear/understand your instruction...for me anyway. Thanks!
I agree
Agreed
Oh I didn't experience that at all... I was listening with headphones...everything was very clear...
