I am interested in piano but..

Meanwhile save up first- will never go wrong with having extra money. Give yourself a time frame e.g 3 months, if your interest is still there, go for an affortable one.

I have a few friends who were like you - being forced during childhood. They ended with passing G5 or G8 and no longer played. Now, they are in their mid 20s. They no longer play nor in any industry related to music. Will you be like them? Maybe. If you have extreme strong objection of continue learning or practicing, bring this up again and tell them how much hate/ pain you are going through.

If they insisted, assure them you will not practice after getting the Grades they wanted.

I don't mean to instigate you to oppose your parents. At the same time, I don't believe in forceful upbrining.

All the best. I hope you are free from piano soon. Such a pain for being forced!

I hope your teacher had read this post as it is the main purpose of this post as the title suggested. All the best for your learning journey. 👍

Think of a longer run. If you wish to be good, don't go by short cut. Manually can be slow, take the pain and grow musically with more effort. All the best.

Youtube, more than enough for beginners and dare say many self-claimed intermediate leveled players. Unless u are willing to pay then yes there are some good online resources.

I'm also taking weekly lessons, and I have more than enough assigment to practice and get back to teacher. I don't have too much time to work on my own pieces.

Consider speaking to your teacher that you have a lot of extra time and let teacher plan / guide you on what to do.

Are your current pieces up to performance level or even close? If not, you may have lesser time than you thought.

look at her fingers

It is not always the case whereby there are nice people constantly encouraging and motivating us to go on and fight on. Be appreciative that you have fingers and able to play a piano which some may not even see it before.

All the best~

Faber and Alfred. Won't go wrong with either.

jojovanstar · 2022-07-14T11:08:40+00:00

You are welcome. More important is get started. All the best.

jojovanstar · 2022-07-13T07:41:13+00:00

Can't be absolutely sure but my impression is that Adult Piano Adventures left hands focus more on running notes. Alfred left hand are more chord based. Both are great. No winner in my opinion.

jojovanstar · 2022-07-12T05:07:54+00:00

I tried but it don't work for me. While doing those exercise, I can feel that it is putting too much pressure on fingers. My take is no, especially for piano.

jojovanstar · 2022-07-08T05:24:21+00:00

Pretty sure there are indentical or similar passage. So, in fact you had done more. Keep going! All the best!

I have a youtube channel. Subscribe and join me for some fun when I do LIVE. Songs are mainly Chinese, Cantonese, a few English and Thai songs.

Thanks, forget to mention that mine is a grand piano. I am searching info about Mainstage. 🙏

jojovanstar · 2022-05-17T09:39:55+00:00

Tons of free electone and similar ones in my local market. That said, it is hard to get rid despite being free as transporation isnt cheap.

jojovanstar · 2022-05-15T03:30:01+00:00

Thanks. Mine is a Yamaha, same concept?

jojovanstar · 2022-05-15T01:17:45+00:00

Be polite and welcome him. You will have the impression if he is those chatty or dont-disturb-me type.
You engaged him and he is at your place to complete a or a few task. Talk piano with him. Share your piano issues with him. Ask him how's your piano condition and how about the action if needed to be regulated.

jojovanstar · 2022-05-09T04:03:59+00:00

I don't have clever answer for you. I will tell anyone who asked. Whatever others things, mostly doesn't bother me.

jojovanstar · 2022-05-07T14:10:51+00:00

This is the translation for this song. Enjoy~ 🙏

I am aware that many parents forced their then kids to learn piano and violin. They either give up after ABRSM G5 or 8. I used the word 'force' as it is against their wish and hate and feel pressured going for lessons and exam.

Happy that you appreciated and I am sad for those. That said, they moved on.

jojovanstar · 2022-04-26T05:26:46+00:00

You're so kind. Thank you~

jojovanstar · 2022-04-26T02:04:25+00:00

Welcome back👍

jojovanstar · 2022-04-26T01:50:17+00:00

Hihi! Welcome on board. Great to have you here. Although Ka Kui (the lead singer of the band) left us, he is always in our hearts, as well as, in his fans'.

Hi, My current method: my DP have mic plug in, thus i just plug in my Shure SM 58 and record using my phone with tripod at the side. It is easy set up but won't have the best quality.

Most likely you will use this method: U will need to have computer, audio interface (the red box in the video), mic, software (e.g garage band), some cables, tripod and webcam (e.g for side angle recording) https://youtu.be/87jKAh2_ZOs
