I know that the Prelude is from The Well Tempered Clavier but not sure which book. It isn't hard to play because it is largely based on broken chords and arpeggios. I was able to sight-read it never mind play it when I was at Grade 1 so I'm sure you'll be fine. It is from the WTC 1. http://innig.ne...

What a happy site and nicely arranged. Love the video intro Good work!

Anything with nostalgic value. Themes especially. Remember Who's the Boss and Perfect Strangers?

Cool thanks.

I'd to know a little more about it. Could you show us some excerpts?

Clair de Lune by Debussy. I think that's what it's called anyone! The one in the Chanel advert with Nicole Kidman. It's what I'd want played as I walk down the aisle on my wedding day!! That's wonderful. Pachelbel's Canon in D has been done to insanity, but the Claire de Lune I can only remember on...

Awesome, great info.

Claire de lune feels like 6 or 7. It isn't near the difficulty of Liebestraum. Brahms' Intermezzo No. 2 is a bit easier, but a wonderful piece nonetheless, and there is still much you can learn from it. If you enjoy Clair de lune, I'm sure you'll have a good time with it. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Flyers are a good option for a startup. When doing them, cut in a row of flaps with your phone number on them that passersby can tear off; you'll get ten times the phone calls that way. If you can, try to also build a simple website or blog detailing your credentials, and include the url on the flye...

Most digital pianos have very different hammer and voicing mechanisms than acoustic pianos, which are certain to result in discrepancies in the way of technique and expression. The experience overall is also quite different, and I'd be concerned about the shock when switching between one and the oth...

What a variety of music and skill levels here.

I am learning Chopin's Tristesse, which is immensely nicer to play than hear. And the Scherzo No. 3 of the same, which is the opposite

'Imagine.' Always poignant.

I also would love to hear an arrangement on the opening melody of Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2. Does anyone know of one that exists?

I feel your pain, and I can think of a couple of things that might help. Firstly, don't think about it too much. Let it go, and get into the zone. Also, be sure to make the keys as accessible as possible. Spend some time reworking your fingering, minding efficiency. Clarity is also very helpful for ...

Good stuff. And it's good that you're incorporating the metronome early. It'll help you.

Good job mate!

Interestingly, I'm the same way. Things I do left-handed and right-handed are split down the middle. On the piano, the left is my weaker hand as well. The only thing there is to be done about it is left hand practice. Bach WTC is a good place to start.

Hi,

Please clarify; is the pedal physically stuck down or is it that the sustain feature is permanently "on?"

Hi,

What's the model number?

I like a good juicy Brahms.

I would also like that answer.

I agree with most of what was already said. In business, it is also often a good idea to offset any price increases with benefits. For example, as software prices get higher every year, so do the number of little features that come included with the default packages. In the business sense, the featu...

Anyone above grade 5 should have a real piano. You need to look at silent pianos to meet your needs. Maybe try Yamaha or Kemble Silent systems. Then you have a real piano and a digital with real wood keys. The digital works out quite cheap really, and you have everything in one box. DON'T LIVE YOUR...

Hi, As far as my knowledge, there's no acoustic benefit to a digital piano. It's ubiquitously held that the piano is the most difficult instrument to reduce to a digital medium, mainly because of the nature of the hammer action and the infinitely compicated behavior of the harmonics produced by diff...

Hi, With your expressed concern of key weight, it seems like you're ultimately planning to make a transition to a real piano some time down the line rather than be an electric keyboardist. If this is your situation, the worst thing you can do is start practicing on a non-weighted keyboard. There is ...
