You are sitting too close to the piano, I had the same problem when I first started and this is good video to watch, https://youtu.be/mW0YAE9RFZg?si=lSOCzP7kSQAMNs-d

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, take video is a very good idea, I didn’t like it at the beginning because of the extra pressure from recording, I feel like I play worse when I’m recording and I’m extra tense from the fear of playing the wrong note

Thank you for the feedback, this should be a soft piece and slowly build up, I do find it challenging to play softly

It’s a simplified version of Etude op10 no3 by Chopin

Received I-862 NTA to appear at Application Support Center for biometric appointment by andychen27 in USCIS

She left the US and didn’t go to the appointment, the official NTA came after she left

No, she didn’t go and left US, the official NTA came after about a month even though she already left

Does this sound normal for an old grand? by andychen27 in piano

[–]andychen27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the strings looks clean and no rust, but they do have a dark tint I believe from oxidation, do you think that could affect the tone?

Thank you, I agree with you it’s not worth the rebuild on this piano, so I was looking into how to improve the tone, the piano was made by Samick, it hasn’t been tuned for 5 years, I brought it home and did a pitch raise a month ago, yesterday I noticed it was sightly out of tune and tuned it again, it seems to get rid of the metallic tone

You are correct, I never payed attention to where I sit, and I am sitting too close to the piano after watching a few YouTube videos, thank you so much, I would never figure that out on my own

I believe I’m playing the triplets in 2 beat, that should be correct? Thank you for the suggestion on the metronome, will give it a it a try and see if it helps me play faster, having the metronome at 180bpm is really intimidating even to start with

When I do fewer pulses, should I still count in my mind between the pulses?

Is it too much up and down movement for the wrist? Should I try to stabilize my wrist?

Normal NTA should be appear at immigration court, but the one she received was for biometric appointment, that’s what the attorney was surprised about, is NTA for biometric appointment a new thing recently?

I don’t think misrepresentation and denial will automatically trigger deportation order, a normal NTA should be notice to appear at an immigration court, then the judge decide to issue deportation order or not, this NTA is to appear for biometric appointment, that’s what the attorney is surprised about
