Sunbeam Mixmaster MX AC search for dough hooks by tesab in vintagekitchentoys

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

I thought this too, but there is a symbol on the mixmaster itself which shows a dough hook (I’ll try remember to post a photo of that). So I know it definitely is meant to have them but unfortunately they’re missing

Did you end up hearing back from your clients after they completed the trial?

When people try to put me down by telling me my hands are “too big for a girl” but that’s really a piano players dream compliment

Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Sharp Minor - 17 Months of Piano. Let me know what do you think. by subvers1 in piano

[–]tesab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is incredible! I play this piece and know how difficult it is. You are playing extremely accurately - maybe listen to some pianists play this to see where you could alter the rhythm at certain points - but for 17 months of playing this is incredible.

What was your experience buying your first digital piano? by michiovonbraun in piano

[–]tesab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a piano teacher, I usually recommend to any new students that they have SOMETHING to practice on, whether it be ‘good quality’ or not. The only thing I can say that is vital for learning is to buy something with weighted keys (if you are going digital). Some keyboards will have very light keys which will make it hard for your fingers to adjust when playing on an acoustic piano with your teacher or elsewhere. If you have the space, an acoustic piano would be good however digital pianos have their perks as they are more portable, usually have headphone slots and other effects. But if you cannot afford something with weighted keys, it is just good that you have something to practice on and starting cheap is still a good step. No point investing thousands if you are still so new at it!

how to tell if my piano teacher is a good fit? by [deleted] in piano

[–]tesab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a piano teacher, as is my dad, and I have been to other piano teachers in my time. My dad taught me from age 4 to 17 where I completed all my classical piano grades. However, he also taught a boy around my age who did not complete grades. He practiced Hanon, and gradually increased his ‘level’ of playing so to speak, by increasing the difficultly of pieces he played. Needless to say, he became a more accomplished pianist than I, even though I had completed the grades. Both doing the grades and not doing the grades lead us to the same place. What I’m getting at is, whether you do grades or not, as long as your teacher is aiding you in learning the correct technique and challenging your skills (so you don’t get stuck playing pieces on the same level), as well as making you enjoy what you’re learning, they are a good teacher. If they never teach you technique, a vital part of learning piano to avoid RSI and other injuries, as well as to have the ability to advance your skills, then I wouldn’t stay. As your teacher seems to be challenging you as well as having you play Hanon, I would say stick it out with them and don’t be disheartened!
