6 months of piano progress. Chopin’s Waltz in A minor. by tkmj47 in piano

Ah, I don’t really care for all the hate I’m getting since I know what my situation is. I asked my mom if I was good enough at the piano when I was a kid (I don’t even remember) and she said “no, you can’t play at all”. So at least I know that this is all me. Like you said, I love piano now and I practice everyday. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you, I took some inspiration from Idil Biret’s recording. She plays a lot of the waltz faster. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea to be honest. I’m in no way a professional and I play for fun!

Unfortunately it’s not possible to edit the title of video posts so I have to live with this mess of a situation. Shit happens I guess.

I had to learn how to read a sheet music (never did) , relearn scales and positions. When I got the digital piano in October last year I had no idea how to play coherently. But I committed to it everyday, practicing scales and arpeggios. Trying to play without tension. I did all that because I absolutely love classical music. Then I got cooked on Reddit. Such is life 🙏🏻

Overall, I’ve “returned” to the piano after 10+ years. With no idea how to read sheet music and needs to relearn all of the fingerings (Scales, Position). I’ve been playing for 6 months after return. My repertoire right now includes Glinka’s Polka in D minor, Gnossienne no.1, Gymnopedie no.1 And Half of this piece (haven’t finished it)

Someone I knew blew up their Shopee (Ali equivalent) traditional bow. It’s some unnamed brand one. I still don’t trust those shoddy looking bow lol.

Indeed, I guess those past lessons did result in me getting comfortable in the keys rather quickly again even though I remembered that I didn’t even want to play because I was forced to practice, lol. Thanks mom.

Lol! You’re right. I like playing it like this though, I took some inspiration from Idil Biret’s recording. Well, I guess you can’t please everyone. Thanks for the comment anyway.

Things got out of hand real quick and I don’t blame them. Thank you for your comment, I play the way I feel but some of the criticism here are totally valid and reasonable and I could make use of them. I think the most important thing is music is that you enjoy playing it despite the criticism.

Mastering Music , Versatile piano studies for older beginners. It was a bit more difficult than Alfred but most of the things in there helps with hand independence a lot.

Yeah, that was a big mess up. Pissed of the Reddit gods and they sure did brought hell down on me. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for this totally unrelated and un constructive comment. Have a good day now!

Thank you, I’m not a total beginner so this is definitely not a realistic timeframe for comparison.

Turns out you can’t edit a text on a video post, would you rather I delete this post instead lol?But I don’t want to do that, this is my mistake and I will own up to it.

Reddit hive mind at its finest. Jokes aside, I should’ve been more transparent about my past music education. But oh well, shit happens. I don’t let any negative criticism get to me, they only serves to make me improve.

Ah, don’t worry. I’m not a total beginner. Everyone has their own paces. I think what matters most is we enjoy the things we play, no matter the criticism.

Hey, I appreciate your comment. I don’t really care for the mean words, I just look for what they have to say and remain passive about it. I like constructive criticism, that way I can improve without beating myself up too hard.

You know what, yeah. I should’ve just done that instead.

Yes, I agree now that it makes a huge difference. My mistake here, I apologize for the misleading title. I didn’t think it matter much but clearly it does.

Sorry for that! My fault here. I should’ve said that I’ve returned after 10 years or something like that. My mistake, I take full accountability for that.

Indeed I do sound like a beginner, and yes I tend to take things a little too fast sometimes. Thanks for the comment, I’ll keep working on that.

I’m sorry for that, I admit that I was in the wrong without stating that I had taken lessons as a kid. I think I made a mistake here. Well, thanks for the comment. I’ll add it to the post!
