The moment I sat down at the Wurlitzer studio piano she said: "Play something!". I began warming up with scales. What happened next could happen to you when you're not prepared. Will I ever be invited to visit again and play anything? This is today's lesson for piano students and teachers. Thank you for watching and listening to this episode.

We've all been there. Comments from music teachers that feel like a bee sting more than encouragement. I was stung twice by this teacher and a drama coach in NYC when I forgot my lines during rehearsal in a leading role nonetheless. Live and learn as the saying goes. Developing a thicker skin also helps. Music from the YouTube audio Library. First song in A Major by Nicol Staf. Song title: Snake on the Beach. Second song in C Major composed by J.S. Bach.YouTube performer unnamed. Thanks for listening/watching.

John Thompson (18891963) was born in Williamstown, Pennsylvania. He began music study at the age of five, and his parents encouraged his prodigious talent by sending him to study piano with Maurits Leefson at the Leefson-Hille Conservatory in Philadelphia, graduating in 1909. At the same time, he studied composition with Dr. Hugh Clark at the University of Pennsylvania.

In his early twenties, Thompson toured the United States and Europe as a concert pianist, receiving respectable reviews and performing with several European orchestras. His best-selling method books "Teaching Little Fingers to Play" and "Modern Course for the Piano" were first published by the Willis Music Company in the mid-30s. These publications have had a profound influence on millions of musicians today, and continue to have an impact on the teaching of piano in America and throughout the world.

Has a music teacher ever burst your bubble? Made you feel like crawling under a rock and make you doubt yourself as a piano student? This is my experience "relived" on YouTube to encourage you to keep practicing. Your day will come ... la, la, la, as long as you keep working. You didn't give up because one person in whole universe underestimated your self-confidence, did you? The day will come when friends and other teachers will hear you play and say congratulations! Great job! "Your performance was the highlight" of the evening/event/party. If it happened to me it can happen to you when you just keep practicing and finding ways to improve. Doors will open to even greater performances that may include job opportunities. Believe in yourself. Success will be yours as long as you stay motivated.

Learning to play classical piano means spending long hours listening, sight reading and practice time. How long depends on the student and time spent watching YouTube videos and/or working with a music teacher. This video is about learning to play classical music for beginners Thank you for watching.

Music students will learn over time that performing in public is one of the fastest and most effective ways to improve music skills. Even early beginners should make a point to play their instrument or sing in public. At the end of this video is a list of public places to consider NOW. My best recommendation is to visit this YouTube channel for great videos about performing in public, shopping for keyboards at a music store and so much more. The name of the channel is MusicalBasics. The name the pianist and composer is Lionel Yu. One of his recent videos is about his first sold out concert in Germany. Thanks for listening and watching on Spotify. Regarding comments: I am unable to locate the comments whenever I receive notification by Spotify. Hopefully this will change soon.

This episode is about a piano course, legato, sheet music and working with a music teacher. Thanks for listening.

Why this one? Full sized keys, battery powered option, and affordability. It is also ideal as a second or third portable backup keyboard indoors at home, backyards and/or playing in public. If you're looking to recharge your motivational batteries, adding a portable keyboard might do it. A change of scenery will do you good esp. if public performances are part of your music history.
