Lesson 3: Your practice disappoints Beethoven
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2023
- 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, structure of the piece, time signature, etc.
I wanted to share this with you because it has been my experience that most musicians always try to run before they can even walk. This may be due to the lack of knowledge and no one teaching them, or they are just lazy. Yes, we all want to play to impress. However, I consider classical music as a discipline and there are just no short cuts you can take. No one has ever accidentally become a concert soloist in history.
Enjoy the video and practice hard.
Sincerely,
Sean Kim

PRACTICE SLOW! Such good advice, I know this but I tend to always play faster and 'perform' instead of practicing. Thank you for reminding me!!
I love how your videos are chill and straight to the point with some humour thrown in without needing to be flashy, gimmicky and over the top. I find it somewhat therapeutic as well as informative watching your vids, keep it up!
Your title for this is FIRE and fun to hear your perspective. Way to grow this channel in super special ways.
"just because your friend can play faster than you..." - awesome.
It’s always nice to see your comments on my videos. Thanks for the support.
I suspect Beethoven’s Für Elise disappoints Beethoven 😂
yes
Awesome👏👏👏 I completely agree it’s much more impressive when a musician can play very musically with the correct notes than just fast for the sake of speed. But not sure if the muggles will agree lol😂
Bro great video! I was eagerly waiting this lesson after watching the first two. I've been playing piano for 19 years and my teacher never went over 'intention' or 'chopin's hand method' with me... Not a once! So I thank you for these lessons and I'm keeping an eye out for more and more of your content! Keep killing it!
I had the exact same experience. No one taught me this until I started getting lessons from uni professors. The whole point of these lessons are to share my knowledge because I really wish that someone had taught me this when I was younger.
Great to have some sense of humour as well. Bright pianist.
I just ran into your lesson videos and they provide a lot more meat than those 5 tips to get better type of videos. When it comes to teaching your students, when would you recommend drills like Hanon or a dozen a day? How do you check to know your students are truly learning and understanding music/piano, and not just memorizing pieces mindlessly?
Love your presentation and humour! Especially in the first (?) video! I've been teaching over 50 years, btw!
Great video ! That’s been my error tryna go to fast at practice but I believe you
I always look forward to your videos
Wow that’s so great information and high quality of the knowledge :)
excellent video and editing, this kind of content keeps you watching even if you don't play
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😁
OMGG !!!! NEW LESSON !!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You are a very good pianist, far better than myself. Though as a former music professor, and a classical music composer, I believe you, and many other pianists play the middle section far to fast. Being able to play fast and clean is a wonderful gift, that not all pianists will achieve. Though it is often much more important to look at the music closely, and "see and hear" the emotion in the written notes. Beautifully written notes in any piece of music, whether written for the piano, violin, orchestra, voice...ect, always need a certain amount of room to breath in the performance, to really bring out the emotion of those written notes. That is one of the main intensions of the use of rubato, and also choosing the best performance tempos, to help bring out the organic and human element in a piece of music, so the emotion in any piece of music will communicate better to any listeners ... ..Peace! 🎼❤☮
taking too many liberties with rubato these days can end your career as a pro that's why everyone takes safer route unless your name is already established and even then you can't keep doing it, that's the sense I get out of big-stage classical music performances these days
couldn't have said it better 👏
Excellent! 👏🏻👏🏻
waiting for the next one!
Good thumbnail combine with the title! Just next time make your letters in thumbnail more visible, maybe a black background!
❤ love your content
Grats on 2k subs
Now, if I can only get my daughter to listen to you on the slow practicing tip. She won’t listen to me! Nice job on the videos. Constructive recommendation: You do get quite a bit of echo in your audio. Getting some sound panels might be a good idea for audio quality.
True musicians despise slow practice because it seems like it kills the creativity and the art of the music. 😂 For my younger students, I try and get them to “think” about every single note they play. And it’s very hard to do that if you play too fast. So I hope this helps with your daughter’s practice.
I have been trying to fix my audio issue since day 1 because the room I’m in is very echoey. I tried something new in this video but it clearly hasn’t worked out. So I’ll try another method for my next video. Thank you for your input.
@@seankimmmmmm 5 years ago the audio would have been fine. Now we’re all spoiled
@@seankimmmmmm your audio is clipping? you need some auto-leveling on your audio recording and using some wide dynamic range mic
😃Sean, making it on RUclips can put bums on seats at your performances. You are good; nevertheless, the videos must come up a level. The evidence is you have many views on some videos but few subscribers.
Start with the audio. I suggest to close mic yourself with a Lav mic for your voice. A radio Lav mic if you can afford it. Check the brand Rhodes.
The stats show people will watch and respond to a video with good audio over a good image. However, both will get you subscribers. Remember, it's called the music business. Most artists forget the last part, the business. Many can play the piano well. You go to uni with a bunch of them. Right here is where you will stand out.
We like your content ,and it's so interesting ✨ , where can we find free piano pieces books for progressive pianist ??
Hi Clement. I know people don’t like spending money, but I would highly recommend that you buy books with reputable editors. Or books with good publications. The reality is that the free scores online are often not reliable. Books you can buy at music stores for a couple dollars, are specifically set and written to help you progress in your pianistic journey. So why not have a look into it?
I would like to know how pianists earn a living because I'm really excited by becoming a pianist but my parents say that pianists don't earn enough. So how do pianists earn a living?
Harsh truth is that your parents are right. Think any performing arts profession. You have to audition to get a job and you will be unemployed for your whole life. Which means, only the handful amount of people at the top of the game will get paid but even then, their jobs/incomes will never be stable.
Most musicians earn money from teaching because it is the most reliable source of income. However, if you're passionate about becoming a performer, I suggest that you put all your efforts and hours into practicing. Later on, your skill will be the only thing that matters.
rip me who plays almost all of chopin ballades 5 chopin etude 3 chopin waltz and paralelly has 2x larger program every semester but never played fur elise even after im in conservatory first course : )))) thats kinda shameful
Hello from Brazil. Im just learning my first piano piece: would u guess? 😂😂
good video pap :DD
What type of piano you use ?? Is it an acoustic or a digital ??
so, you play the a-minor arpeggio with fingers 1-2-4-jump-1-3-5? Yes, it's very tension-less, but without of pedal, there is a hole in the jump of the hand, right?
My teacher as well told me to bridge over the 4th in an arpeggio with the thumb. But why not the 4th with 1-2 and the thumb to bridge over a 3rd? So it does not have to bend so wide...
good question. The answer is basically: whatever you feel comfortable with. Obviously the context of which the arpeggios are played in matters. So here, I thought playing 1-2-4 was comfortable and felt the most natural for me. Meaning, it was the most efficient way of playing it while maintaining my natural resting hand position.
Playing the 4th with 1-2 seems a bit weird to me. Just because that'll mean that you start the arpeggio with 2-3 or 2-4. For a 4 octave root position arpeggio, this also leads to an extra turn at the top that you'll have to play (with your 1-2 fingers). Which, imo is just overcomplicating things.
@@seankimmmmmm Yes, the start would be 1-3. I tried it an needed some time, to get ist smooth. But it's not that fast like 1-2-4-1... My only problem with 4-1 on the fourth is the gap. Maybe my mind is a little dirty in relation to this subject. My teacher told me to practice all pieces *without* pedal for developing the fingertechnique. He said: "the pedal is *not* for legato, but for sound."
nice
based
How about the pedaling??
Can you play fur elise with your toes?!
i can play fur elise now
I'm not lang lang 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
aren't we all 😭😭
I know it’s a piece from the classical era but in my opinion section A is romantic af and I prefer playing it like Chopin lol
Her name is pronounced "t'RAY'za" not "th-REE-sa" 😁
"Just try to get everything right when you practice."
Yeeaaa.... I'm Caucasian soooo
