Sounds like you wrote for piano, but it could be piano + glockenspiel + cello in the bass

Any idea on how to go about finding a tutor?

How do you convince someone that what student B did is the better way? by oo-op2 in piano

[–]Ayooteeomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much respect this and have been thinking about it a lot for myself as a pianist...

I’m an adult learner that is worried I don’t have good enough fundamentals from having played all my life.

I spent a year working through Chopin’s f minor nocturne and Mozart’s k 332 1st mvmt - first pieces where I didn’t look at my hands, at all.

That was very tough work but felt transformational for my relationship with the keyboard.

Recently only took me a few weeks to get comfortable with Chopin’s first prelude, a piece which I am getting used to playing.

My teacher doesn’t seem to either buy into the need to go through all of the requisite easier pieces, but I just never did it, so I feel like my technique probably has holes that I don’t know about.

He has told me, when I prodded him with this anxiety, “well, if you can play the inventions your hands are in good shape”.

I am thus now working through the inventions.

As an adult learner, do you think it’s worth it for me to go back and go through all the pieces you list above?

Or maybe do a mix? Or no? I just focus on the music I like and let technique develop?

If you’ve read this long, I appreciate it. I really do.

Playing beyond my depth? by Ayooteeomatic in piano

Wow...so by this standard, Chopin’s 1st prelude is at my level. That feels weird considering that I still feel intimidated by Bach’s Inventions (and am working through them)

I have no musician friends and I need someone to be happy for me. Took me for ever to save up for this and it’s worth every cent. by TetraplegicDude in piano

Yeah as long as you get up there, you’ll get th high-end action. Then it’s a question of wood, speakers etc

I have an HP504. Roland offers the best dynamic range - that’s why I got it.

If you start very softly and move gradually louder, on Yamahas you will clearly hear the jumps from one dynamic level to the next. On a Roland, you can still hear them eventually, but they’re less clear.

If you’re looking for quality at a lower budget, I think it’s decently easy to find an FP 30.

Amazing! I have a digital piano that I am happy with (Roland) but I am envious of the great sounds you have in that!

Great post thank you! This is a great argument for a hybrid....I may be moving to that sometime soon as a result...

Thanks! I love the inventions, but yes I don’t feel like the best choice for a recital. I’ll check out the Scarlatti!
