@Tom van Strien Heres a link to the video where he shows some! czcams.com/video/F_0UXfvC65Y/video.html
Doesn't matter how good you are at playing your instrument, there will also be someone who is more skilled. It took me a few years to realize that making music for your own joy is better than making music for competition. To all musicians, artists, writers and the rest: Art and music is something beautiful and do not fight about it.
If there isn't someone better than you, you aren't getting inspired
Thank you, I needed to hear this
It's annoying when we run into elitists. But let's do remember that we should give Liszt a listen- just because some people going overbearing trying to get us to hear the works of Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Beethoven, and Bach does not mean that they were not generational geniuses who we should respect and pay homage to.
Found one of the elitists
@@aniquinstark4347 For saying that classical music is good? Do explain.
@@ligemerrill6368 Yes classical music is good, but music is itself subjective, and someone not liking Chopin or Lizst doesn't make them uncultured or somehow a worse musician. Classical music is not universally beloved, same way classical books are not universally beloved. Just because once upon a time some old European men wrote some nice tunes, that doesn't mean centuries later every kid who wants to play piano has to enjoy the genre.
Or at least I think that's what's going on, just my opinion. I played clarinet and bass guitar for years and I hated being told that I wasn't playing "real music" just because I preferred contemporary/pop
@@ButterflyScarlet Absolutely! You'll notice that that's why I said to give a listen to these greats, but after that you can judge them for yourself, and listen to what you like.
Interestingly enough, as a classical musician, I've been told repeatedly that I don't play "real music" just because I play classical music :/ I think that both sides of the classical/modern debate could stand to gain a bit of respect for the performers and composers on the other side- even if you don't particularly like it, you can still recognize that someone like Bach was an incredible musician, and so is someone like.... um.... _insert name of famous pop composer here, since I can't remember any names at the moment_, and respect that the preferences of one or the other are both equally valid. :)
Iâll do you one better: listen to the works of Schoenberg, Xenakis, ferneyhough, Johnston, berg, Partch, etc to add on to the old european white men

Absolutely hysterical! Although dramatized for comedic effect, elitism is a problem in the classical music world that really steers people away from our beloved genre as a whole. I myself used to be that way but have since learned how stupid I was making myself sounding and how much I was pissing people off, and that the output is the music, not the input.

this is why iâm kind of scared to play in my universityâs practice rooms. itâs open to all students on campus but i feel like iâm the only non music student practicing piano by myself.
Honestly I'm sure that all the music students are too busy practicing their own stuff to be worried about who's using the practice rooms (unless they need a room and you took the last open one). If you want to practice, go for it! If someone confronts you about being an amateur, the issue is with them, not you.
I recommend just not being in the practice room around the time of juries because that's when it becomes cutthroat for practice rooms
Also enjoy learning!
dude I'm a music performance major and I never wanna touch those things cuz the piano pedigogies scare me
I sympathize with this so much. Especially since our piano is severely out of tune and broken (some keys are just stuck together), so no matter how much I've practiced, it's still painful to the ears đ let alone I'm a self taught beginner and it's in an open area. Where people come to study and hang out. Not fun.
The non piano majors are probably in the same level as you. No judgement. It's basically like going to the gym. Sometimes there are assholes but most people are there to do their thing.
