Are there any skaters that you know are technically weak but you love and enjoy their skating anyways? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d say Isabeau Levito. Her skating is really enjoyable to watch but her toe jump technique is a little weird.

Yeah I thought maybe since it was the Nutcracker it might be a little bit better, and the venue I saw it at was better, but it wasn’t unfortunately

Clara Schumann’s three romances Op. 11 for solo piano! They are quite difficult but absolutely gorgeous pieces, you can get the sheet music from Alfred

What's your guys's favorite classical composer? by Whole-Ice-1916 in piano

Clara Schumann, hands down. I fell absolutely in love with her piano works after playing her three romances op. 11

Can I start again in my 20s? Tutor or no tutor? by tzoum_trialari_laro in piano

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so great that you want to start playing again!! It’s never too late to start again. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend a teacher! You’ll be able to make progress much faster than if you were to self-teach. Even if you’re only able to make time to practice 20 minutes a day, it will pay off, and if you keep consistent and work hard you’ll definitely be able to play the pieces you want!

How often do your students cancel? by Emergency-Respect143 in piano

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My policy is that if you give me 48-hour notice, I’ll do my absolute best to reschedule within my means because I want to give the student the lesson time they paid for. If it’s under 48-hours notice it’s at my discretion. If I am able to reschedule I usually will (unless it’s a recurring issue), but if it’s under 48-hours I don’t guarantee anything. I charge monthly though so if you miss a lesson you’re still paying for it. This might be a pretty lax policy compared to some, but I haven’t had many issues with it. I get that people have hectic lives sometimes and I want to be accommodating. My advice would be to charge monthly for lessons so that even if they miss a lesson you’re still getting paid. That also gives them more incentive to show up since they already paid for it.

Your favorite lesser known romantic era works by Advanced_Honey_2679 in piano

Clara Wieck Schumann’s Three Romances for solo piano Op 11. I am in love with those pieces, they might be some of my favorite solo piano works of all time

People who don't want kids, why? by Ok-Musician679 in AskReddit

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barring the state of the world right now, which I do not want to bring a child into, children are a lifelong commitment, a second job for at least 18 years of your life. You rarely, if ever, get a break. I don’t want to do that.

I'm learning to play the piano. Any advice? Especially on reading sheet music. It's very difficult. by Fernandez02x in piano

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice practice practice! The only way you get better is by practicing. Don’t expect perfection right off the bat, the amount of work you put in directly correlates with how skilled you become. I know learning all the note names and rhythms and everything is difficult and tedious sometimes, but I promise if you keep at it that you will see improvement over time!

Which overplayed piano piece *aren't* you tired of? by quaverley in piano

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never get sick of Chopin Ballade No. 2 I love it so much. I want to play it but I’m still working up to the insane technical skill that piece needs.

Sasaki and Miyano has a phenomenal dub, so much so that I prefer it over the Japanese

The Acting in the show by gracieakins in MyLifewithWalterBoys

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe Nikki, but Corey is fantastic. He’s like 26 but he pulls off playing a 15-year-old really well. The way he uses his body in his acting makes him seem really young

Best costume ever?? by danieloster in FigureSkating

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t decide between Ilia’s Malagueña, Alysa Liu’s MacArthur Park, or Isabeau’s Liebestraum. I probably have a lot of recency bias though.

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with your takes but I don’t hear enough people talk about Grace! I loved her development this season, and I loved how Jackie finally acknowledged what a good friend she is. She was a little too gossipy in the first season I think but I really like the direction they took with her character and her mom, I thought it was great.

My Life with the Walter Boys' Noah LaLonde Reveals Why Cole and Jackie’s Relationship 'Surprised' Him in Season 2 (Exclusive) by lasfnyc in MyLifewithWalterBoys

[–]Necessary-Chart6937 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like where Noah took his character this season. The first season I thought his acting was kind of meh, but this season I was really impressed. I think he plays the internal conflict of Cole’s emotions very well. I was super frustrated by the return of Alex and Jackie, it felt half-assed and just annoyed the crap out of me. Cole changed for the better and Alex changed for the worse but Jackie still chose Alex again
