I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕
I love that Ignasi says that he will only consider himself a pianist as long as it makes him happy. He is world class but doesn't let his talent define him. This is something I need to take to heart in my own journey; we are all multi-faceted.
that's something i try to remind myself of! going through a "phase" isn't a negative thing, phases are just a part of life
"Would this be called a baby grand piano?"
"No"
This made me laugh so much😂😂
I love how when he's talking about himself Ignasi is so humble and gentle, but when he's teasing you he's brutal as any longtime friend is lol. "You only learned C?"
Also, I was thinking along the same lines as Niamh about Elton being excited about pianos l
The fact that he almost seemed more proud of his ability to describe croquettes. I guess he just surprised himself, whereas he's used to his talent for piano.
For anyone who is curious, the piece at 22:37 and 32:05 is Schubert's Drei Klavierstücke, D. 946 no. 1 in e-flat minor.
Yay. I was just coming here to provide that info, but I'm glad I read through the comments and saw this. My first boyfriend was a super talented concert pianist, and every time I hear this, I think of him.
Thank you ❤
Impressive! That you can name it so easily!
@@lijohnyoutube101 That's because I've played this piece before, a relatively new one for me, though
Yes, thank you so much! I really wanted to know what the piece was at 2237, it's so beautiful.
Hi! I'm a disabled classical musician, like Ignasi (though I'm an opera singer with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) and I have to thank you for spotlighting him, his humbleness, his artistry, and his magnificent career! There's a stereotype in classical music in general that somehow disabled folks aren't in the industry at all, or don't want to be - I know, bizarre! - and to have a disabled musician in the spotlight here just highlights that yes, we are here and have always been here! What a stellar musician he is. Thanks for doing this wonderful series! ✨
always fun when you find another zebra in the wild
i like that Ignasi gave Molly just a bit of shade. So talented and great job Molly :D
Love this video!!!! My piano teacher, Alexandra Eames, is a blind concert pianist who studied at Juilliard decades ago. My lessons with her and her guide dog Koda were the highlight of my week as a child.
I’m a concert pianist and piano teacher and I really enjoyed this video. Molly you did great, learning piano is not easy! You definitely have the potential to learn and I wouldn’t let a bad experience with a teacher turn you away from the piano if you would really like to go back to it. Your friend is right, having a great teacher makes a huge difference. Much love! ♥️🎹
This is such a heartwarming series. It is amazing to see you teaming up with other blind folk to learn the skills they have mastered! I hope you continue this series. I would love to see what you feel like you could teach other blind folk as well! I think you teaching makeup would be a great video for the series.
YES!! Would be so cool to see Molly being one of the people leading another 🫶 such a cool idea!
Molly, I’ve been following you for years, and you continually amaze me. You endure losses, difficulties, and challenges, share them with your viewers, yet continue to impress as you persevere and lead so many followers with beauty, positivity and quality education. Thank you for what you do, and for sticking with it through everything that comes your way.
Love this comment! Its totally inspiring just as a model for how to live life.
This is such a weird and wonderful video for me. I'm a musician, and I've been following Molly since that video she did with Casey Neistat in July of 2017. All of a sudden, my worlds are joined! AND I get to learn about and go follow Ignasi's channel. I also love how he says he'll stay with the career as long as it makes him happy. Really a good lesson to take to heart. Yay!!!
PS Molly, I'm sorry to disagree with you, but your natural sense of rhythm really shone through when you were playing together. Yes, Ignasi played the chords which set it all off, but you immediately played patterns, which not everyone might do. Very nice!
Molly, I can tell you that your first lesson isn't rough, it is the first lesson. I started learning the Organ when the organ bench came up to my armpits. It was the late sixties I believe? My grandfather said he wouldn't teach me unless I could get up on the organ bench. It took me like two hours. The benches didn't go up or down back then, they did tip over very easily though I can tell you that for sure! From the point I was able to get up on the bench, my grandfather had me playing scales for the longest time. At some point, I got bored and started experimenting with said scales. One day, when I asked when I could start to learn to play songs, I was told, "Are you not listening to yourself play?"
By the way, Liberace would love your pink crystal-covered piano! When I was around 10 or 11 I used to talk to him on a regular basis. He was a super cool guy who didn't think that a young autistic/ADHD kid was weird. I used to hang out in an antique shop with antiques from Europe, we are talking super old antiques. I could identify them, their age, and what country and what King was King at the time. Liberace thought I was the coolest kid because of that! LOL! As an autistic person I have facial blindness, so I didn't recognize him. I believe the name he gave me was Steve. My dad came to get me one day, and Liberace asked him if he was my father, and my dad answered yes, and shook his hand. After we left, and my dad heard the door shut, he asked me if I knew who my friend was? I said, "No, he looks like a street person though." He dressed in torn clothes with paint all over them when out in public. He lived just up the hill from the antique shop I hung out in. So, yeah, I thought Liberace was a homeless person! Just hanging out in a high-end antique shop, and friends with the owner of it. LMFAO! (Oh, I should add here, that my mom worked for the doctor to the stars in the town we lived in which was very popular with famous people.
i love the store clerk cleaning the pianos spotless while they touch everything adding more fingerprints then he can polish away
I'm DeafBlind and I also developing my skills playing piano (and singing)! I've been playing for a few years as a child/youth, paused and now resuming as an adult. Completing my exams. I'm so happy there's representation for disabled musician!
Molly!!! I love this series ! 💛 You should get in touch with a blind ceramicist/potter!! It's a very tactile hobby and it's a lot of fun
Ignasi is so talented and I love his sass with you it's hilarious
Molly, as someone who grew up taking piano lessons I can say messing up over and over again and pushing past tears of frustration to learn one scale or one phrase is a very normal part of the process. I didn't like it at the time but am glad that I did it as its a very important life skill to push through hard and boring things to be able to do the "cool" thing. I haven't played in years but I am now motivated to pick up piano again! It's awesome that you have such cool and humble friends :)
I think he could’ve taught it a tad better like moving her fingers and having a tactile thing (idk what bc their at the store) on middle c for an easier way to find where to start.. also teach her 1-7 or solfège (do re mi) to help with pitch on what note sounds right to go next. But pretty cool their both BLIND and can play a piano ❤ love ya Molly! Keep trying new things!
LOVE love love this series and all the people you collab with!!! ignasi is such an incredible musician. also you're absolutely right, adventure is one of the best guide dog names EVER!
This is awesome! It’s just a fun idea to try new things for content, but it is also extremely educational to see how you’d attempt to learn something new. My aunt has had macular degeneration for years, but she never really embraced it because she had a tough time going blind in her 20’s (she’s now in her 80’s). It was a very different generation. I’m 42, btw. It’s great to be able to see how far disabled populations have come in more recent times (myself included as I had an accident 20 years ago and also have had a mobility service dog since 2017). I’m so glad to see so much success in our communities. I always wish my aunt would have had that kind of experience where she wouldn’t have felt that she had to try hiding her blindness - even in today’s day and age and at her older age, she still struggles with people knowing she can’t see.
I feel that. My grandmother, who is now in her late 80's, started going blind in her 60's and it was progressive. She was 55 when I was born, and I've watched her go from being a completely sighted language arts teacher, to trying all sorts of supplements to preserve her eyesight, to helping out around by cleaning not realizing she was making things worse, to mistaking family members for each other because she could no longer see facial features, to no longer being able to leave the house unassisted, to turning the wrong direction while talking to people and needing someone to tell her where everything is. She didn't feel the need to hide her blindness, but because she went blind later in life and grew up in a time where accessibility was never a thing (she has a mom, grandmother and many aunts and uncles who went blind later in life so she's always known going blind was a possibility), she hasn't embraced the technology that would have allowed her to gain more independence.
I'm a piano teacher so am really excited for this!
As a musician and a fan of you, my worlds are colliding in this video 😋 also you’re definitely a pro at this point 😂
Your ability to be diplomatic, kind, and funny too is showcase when you are the one conducting the interview. I love listening to piano music and your friend is awesome that way. Enjoyed this.
Omg he’s amazing!! This was so neat to watch and I love how he’s snarky with you and fun but refuses to brag about himself at all. 😂
Love this new series idea. This is going to be great Molly!
This series is so much fun to watch. He is so talented
He is a great teacher! I love how he explains things
This was so much fun to watch! ❤ And your friend is playing so beautifully 👌
Great job with the piano! Love your videos. I enjoy hearing from other blind gals.
Molly this has me cackling. I love teaching music and today was a rough day. This made me so so happy to settle in and watch.
This brought me so much joy as a piano teacher 😊
This is one of my favorite videos, I love piano and Ignasi is so funny!!
His humbleness is so profound and genuine
This was literally one of the sweetest videos! You guys seem like such amazing friends and banter like siblings. I love it!
I'm loving this series. Molly has such cool friends!
He is so very humble. What a wonderful pianist. This is such a great video! Thank you Molly for always rockin’ the best videos ever ❤❤❤
This was such a fun video, thanks y'all!!
I can't get enough of this series. You've been teaching us for years. Thank you for helping us learn from your friends too.
I love this one! I have always wanted to learn piano. I think you did a wonderful job. ❤
Omg, your Dad smiling in the background while you were pretend playing was the sweetest! Protect Peter Burke at all costs! 😊❤
13:19 I hear a dog snoring 😂
I hope you get to see him again. He seems very pleasant and I enjoyed the banter in the video as well as getting to see Adventure. I love seeing all the working dogs. They’re so cute to watch.
I worked with his dog while she was completing training in 2018. I absolutely adored her
I’m a musician-including piano-and a piano teacher, I love this! As a teacher, I wanted to come help! But you did great
oh my gosh! He is absolutely amazing! I wonder if he has a CD out? Would love to buy it. Piano is just my favorite.
My goodness! His piano skills are just next level!!❤
This was so interesting. Big shout out to Ignasi for doing so well - it is hard enough for a sighted person - so much accomplishment from him.
I love this new series!!
Incredible video. Loved this, Molly. Keep traveling and introducing us to amazing people.
You’re the Anthony Bourdain of the community.
That remote thing is so freaking cool!!!!
He is so amazing! I find it difficult to play the piano while sighted. I can only play Mary Had A Little Lamb. Alouette and some Christmas carols.
I love the part where Molly says if she had her own piano it would be pink and covered with sparkles. That would be one awesome looking piano! Great job playing the piano, Molly!
Molly looked so cute pretending to play, I loved it ❤️
I'm in the symphony chorus and I memorize my music
I could hear one of the dogs snoring around 13:10 haha
Wonderful video Molly!
You did good Molly! Good job on that G major scale!!
I couldn’t stop smiling watching this, you guys are so funny and talented ❤❤❤
Wow, this is so amazing!
Learn a scale with solfeg... As in, do re mi fa sol la ti do. Like in The Sound of Music. It also helps to know about whole vs half steps. It's always the same order of whole and half steps in any major scale. If two keys are right next to each other (regardless if they are black keys or white keys), that is a half step. If there is a key in between the two (again, regardless of black key vs white key), that is a whole step. Any major scale goes (starting on your note that names the scale): whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half.
I love that this series really emphasises Molly's whole philosophy that being blind does not have to stop you from doing what you enjoy!
My partner is a very talented (sighted) pianist and he does everything by ear too. Ignasi will 100% be able to read braille music better than he can read sheet music!
wow I was laughing all the way through the video! Good one Molly, Ignasi is awsm!
You are such a beautiful person!!! Reach for and follow your dreams!!! You can accomplish whatever you want to do!!!
I am so jealous of your ability to learn anything you want to learn almost instantly❤
I'm a music teacher, and this was a genuine delight!
Ignasi is awesome, he's so humble.
He is so talented!
I love this!!
What a sweet man, Loved this episode!
Molly, you’re awesome and amazing.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful
wow he is impressive. piano playing with no sight! incredible.
I loooove this series!! This one was especially fun since I've been playing piano for as long as I can remember, I've always thought piano is something that blind people should have an easier time mastering than a lot of skills because it is so much just by ear and by feel.
Obviously not at Ignasi's level though! He's just a genius.
That depends on the individual blind person. I actually know at least four people who are classical pianists who are blind to different degrees. (Two of them are completely blind.) I'm blind, I took piano years ago, and it was hard for me, maybe part of it was because I didn't have a good instructor, but I think mostly because I just wasn't interested in it. I wanted to do other things like explore photography, even though I don't have any usable sight.
So yes, for some blind people, Playing the piano would be easier, but for others, just like for sided people, it just isn't their thing.
I am so glad that Ignasi has been featured here. Unfortunately there are not as many widely recognized classical disabled musicians yet, but they are definitely out there.
And I hope more of them will be recognized and seen because they, too, our musical geniuses in their own right.
wonderfull and intresting Video. but I got a question. who snors in the background around Minute 13:20😂
😂 i think Niamh was very jetlagged.
Music is definitely only partly visual. It’s more hearing a feel. I played the clarinet throughout my childhood and so much of it is muscle memory to play the keys, and hearing the rest of the ensemble when to come in and whether I’m in tune (I played in orchestras, wind bands and clarinet choirs). Reading music is only a part of it, and it gets to the point the sheet music is just for reference, and if practiced enough, you just know the music. My dad is always impressed with jazz players improvising. And I’ve explained that every musician can improvise as it’s about hearing the key, using your skills and being creative.
I just started to try and learn piano. I felt like I never could learn an instrument but my son is working on the viola and I started looking into piano. I just ordered a full size keyboard so I can stop playing on my kids’ mini keyboard (which is basically just for them to play with lol). This is such a fun series. 😊
AWESOME Story❤❤❤
Awesome way to learn from others!
Sooo Awesome 😃
When ignasi was talking. Molly was sat so fabalously aha😊😂
I love playing the piano for a long time, just like you Molly :)
I’m completely blind, and I’ve been playing piano since 2011, but I can’t play any advanced pieces.
I really enjoyed the notes you added, when you were playing with Ignasi. It kinda worked with the part he was playing
Ignasi is so talented!
That piano sounds so good!
The one Molly was playing scales on
I love this series and all your adventures! The main piano playing advice I would give you is to keep your fingers curled so your fingertips are pressing straight down on the keys. I'm sure Ignasi would tell you that if he could see your hands.
Yes I remember my brother getting an alcoholic one in Universal FL. We went not long after it opened
As much as I dislike pretense, I love to watch you have fun.
I had piano lessons for about a year as a kid and I had a habit of just playing without reading the music. I was born with the gift of playing by ear. I inherited the gift from my mom and grandma. I remember the teacher always telling me to look at the music and I would pretend I was but I was really just playing by ear. She caught on to me quite quickly.😂😂😂
As a pianist who is 26 and has been playing since 4th grade... I NEVER knew what the middle pedal was for!!!!! I was literally a music major in college (granted my main instrument was clarinet, not piano) but nobody told me this!! 🤣🤣
Me too! My main instrument is cello, but I took piano lessons for about 10 years, and never knew this.
he's so fun! 🤩😂
It would be so cool to see him have an opportunity to play the Alexander Piano in New Zealand.
Omg he's teaching ME stuff about a piano i never knew
I loved meeting him
Molly pretending to play piano is the same vibes as Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday pretending to play the electric guitar! Please tell me I’m not the only one 🤣 she’s so cute! This video was so fun!!
I am very sad today one of our friends service dogs died today. he'd was only 12 and a half. He saved her life so many times.
I’m glad the store allowed you to explore so freely. What’s the name of the store? Kudos to them too
I need that remote thingy.
Dp you know the movie SNEAKERS an 80s movie about a heist. There is a blind character who is also a computer wizard who uses a braille computer I wonder if it's a realistic portrayal of a blind person?
very cool.
❤️❤️❤️
