Sight-reading Bach French Suite No.6 | Tiffany Vlogs #145 - Hudba

Thank you - Luckily, I have patrons supporting me monthly on Patreon, so I have been able to focus on redirecting money to others...if anyone else is interested in joining to support me: www.patreon.com/tiffanypoonpianist
Tiffany forgot about me. I have had two bloodclots and i am on bloodthinners. I also have aspergers. I have sight read 8500 neglected videos. Not one thanks from any ‘hardworking musician’
@@gjeacocke just watched your piano videos and you're very talented! But I don't think this is the place for negativity. Think about it, she has almost 300K subs on CZcams, there's no way she could watch everyone
@@ab0mb86 i asked her a question when she went live and i said : do you like sight reading? And she replied i love sightreaders. It is the right place. For she has connections. She has another channel that interviews musicians. Are you saying you want me to be POOR and without a wage? Negativity? You are a prat.
@@gjeacocke So you think because she's recognized for her music and you're not that she owes you something? How entitled.
Your sight reading is out of this world, I find Bach extremely difficult for sight reading, polyphony + fingerings + articulation, everything at once...good luck for your upcoming concert!
Leaving a comment for the algorithm since this video had ... unfortunate circumstances. Happy New year everyone :)
🙏🥺
👍
🙂
As a beginner, sight-reading Bach seems like a final boss battle lol. Happy new year! 🎆
Happy new year jenna.. Gbu 😁
I’m a beginner as well it would be like fighting Kefka from Final Fantasy.
Oh my sweet summer child 😅
Sight read Liszt
Try to read Lizst
as I am a terrible sight-reader, i'm in awe of your sight-reading skills...just wow!
Yay! Don't worry if you're late, we'll try to get you back in the YT algorithm! 🔥
I love and appreciate all of you who always are early to help boost my videos 🙏😍
I just want to say Thank you. You are best teacher that I could have in my entire life. Your sight reading videos are priceless
Awww I try... I know how much people enjoy these types of videos 🥺🤓
your sight-reading attempt, is how i play it when I’ve practiced for ONE month. hahaha.
i love how crisp your technique sounds!
Watching this multiple times... Learning much to change about myself~ especially to free myself to more joy & exploration in learning. “Shameless” was especially freeing + more realistic for me. I appreciate + carefully consider your every edited /added comment in the videos; please take heart that even with those brief notes you are helping people grow in a personal journey with classical music - by how particularly you share your own process - thus making classical music more engaging and your candor helping us pursue the effort of practice + study as more accessible. All you have done is greatly valuable to me. I only studied 5 years in my 30’s, then struggled with a serious illness for decades. At advanced age I now seek to start again, which is hard work; and so your shares of ideas and insights prevent me from sinking, and move me forward for the pure joy of needing + loving this musical language. I thank you ever more.
I LIKE this format.
I don't get to play piano nearly as much I want, but when I touch my piano, I record myself (not exercises) just in case I stumble onto something new. I don't have to worry about playing it enough to remember it, I just listen to it and after hearing it enough I know what I want to change and eventually it becomes a general form I can repeat. I can read music somewhat, (jazz lead sheets with just the melody lines and chords), but transcribing is my next challenge. So don't worry about the sound quality. As long as it's loud enough and doesn't distort, it's just fine.
I too find these videos very inspirational. There is such love and feel for baroque music even in these first attempts ...
My 🎹teacher taught me how to sight-read music. And he would take a index card and block all the notes, except the ones I need to read, and move it along the page. That really helped me!!😁
Thank you so much for the advice! I started playing again and I took little pieces that are easy to play to get some practice sight reading (also a good way to get my fingers used to playing again). And so true about the sense of music and try to imagine how you want it to sound and go for it.
And the advice I loved was just to go for it and not be afraid of mistakes...
(so I would say that to you too, you're doing great I love watching your videos, made me want to listen to tons of more classical music)
You notice and comment only when you miss an occasional note. What I hear are all the others you hit perfectly while sight reading! You are so skilled! Keep positive and thanks for sharing.
I’m a percussionist but you have inspired me to learn piano this is my first week. 🎹🤞🏼
Looking forward to your performance!
I love it when you comment on your learning methods and make clear the connection between practice and progress.
Happy New Year, Tiffany!
Best wishes and lots of success in 2021.
Keep striving!
I really got something valuable from your Vlog Tiffany, and all of the others. Please carry on making music and a Very Happy New Year.
All the best for your first concert for 2021.
You played so well Tyffany! Wish you good luck for your next concert!!
Looking forward to the concert! Don't worry about being late! Keep your head up and take some time to relax, have a great day Tiffany!
Very inspiring! These are great. Please keep them coming, whenever you can find the time and energy.
Happy New year Tiffany! (and Happy Birthday too, a little late) You are an inspiration for young pianists around the world!
I SMASHED the like button for the CZcams algorithm.
Absolutely love the raw footage! Its comforting to know that even the most skilled pianist can stumble in the passages where the pattern breakes. This suite is so joyful, and you seem to have pinned down the articulation from the get-go. Wish I had such a natural way of playing portamento. I remember your masterclass with Lang Lang at an early age, and look at you now. Bravo Tiffany!
Currently playing and memorizing the 3rd French suite...seeing your playing has always been wonderful and inspiring ..Thank you !
I love how you always include breakdowns of your videos in the descriptions :) Really helps!! :)
Love the sight reading videos. After watching I’m always inspired to go to the piano to do more! Thanks for the encouragement!
Congratulations on getting all of the dreamstage concerts!!! Really well earned!
Love that you’re trying out new formats and doing what you can to focus on piano first. Remember to keep striving Tiffany!
Can’t wait for the concert 😀🎵 🎶 🎹
Wow, that's a first that I am first! 😁 I like this new format, Q&A first and then the practical part. I will be there January 23 to watch the suite and all good other things with Jan.
Thank you Tiffany for inspiring me to really practise the piano and taking lessons again after 35 years! I always loved to sight read but wasn’t motivated enough to work at a piece to get it better until now. I’m glad I found your CZcams channel!
There's something about your videos that completely draws me in...I think it's you Tiffany ♥️ I really love the way you show us normal ppl the daily life of a musician....i hope your dreams and aspirations all come true♥️
One pianist in my (amateur) music group is a sight-reading savant. He read through the Bruch and Dvorak piano quintets almost without stumbling. He’s not a professional pianist, he’s an attorney. It’s a gift.
My voice teacher was also a demon sight reader. I would come into a lesson with a new song and put the music on the piano for her. She would sight-read the accompaniment while I sang, and then give me a detailed critique of my singing, because she could listen to me closely while sight-reading. Amazing.
There’s no accounting for the special gifts that people have.
I've known several people like that (accompanists and choir directors are beasts in this regard), and something they all had in common was they had spent a tremendous amount of time sight reading, usually from a young age. Hundreds, thousands of hours reading through endless music.
Dear Tiffany, you are a phenomenally talented and hardworking musician, you are such an inspiration not just to pianists, but to anyone learning an instrument!
I always feel so happy to watch your videos they are just so calming
Thank you sooooo much for sharing your sight reading process....so helpful🙏
I love this - how exciting! I completely understand the pressure of filming practice etc. During lockdown I started using my CZcams more frequently and recently my channel blew up - I kind of feel vlogging will be nicer when I have performances (which will actually happen more this year - yay!). Hope the concert goes well and I look forward to seeing more!!!❤
Your Vlogs are the only ones on CZcams I’ve ever enjoyed
I've been playing for just over a year now and i found that learning to play the only Bach piece i now play without looking to be really helpful , in fact i recorded it on the first occasion that i tried doing so and it worked pretty much first time . But one thing from a begginer perspective that i find to be equally as helpful is , rather than memorising " forgetting " the music partially or in some cases completely . It seems to provide a nice " gape " in which to learn something new and to become compilative in repetoire and therefore memory ( once returning to the forgotten ) . But with that i find also that " peaking " is important . I guess what I'm trying to say is that although fingure placement is largely quite a simple mathematical process in comparison to reading , it sometimes seems silly to not look when the head is ultimately pulled in a certain direction , as naturally in our other life situations we will use a simple blinking of the eye to confirm that change in direction , just as when reading ! . Perhaps this is a begginer strife ! , I will say that it builds confidence and therefore perhaps , is a path to actually changing or substituting the times in which usually i would blink to comprehend a wind or predict the turn of a page , or simply acknowledge a moment in verbal communication , in which it seemed right if not polite , to close the eyes instantaneously . Anyway , loving this new focus for the Vlog Tiffany ....
Thank you Tiffany
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, you are a courageous and inspiring person.
Happy new year Tiffany and every one ❤!!!
Love the insights and honesty ❤❤❤🙏
i’m learning this suite right now, really helpful thank you :)
Absolutely fascinating to watch the score as you play!
Really enjoy the format!! Very helpful, thanks :)
Happy New Year Tiffany!!! This is exciting!! Congrats!!! 🎉🎊 I totally understand your frustration with Bach, I’m working on the Flute Partita right now and it’s quite a challenge😊
Love Jan Vogler. Was watching your video with him earlier today. I am in.
Looking forward to the concert. It is always interesting to follow you preparing and then hear it “for real” at the end. Just like the Mozart cadenza at your last Dreamstage concert.
Thank you. That's why I made this vlog... 🎶
Your sight reading videos are inspiring :the path and place of creative expression, your frustration onomatopeias included.
Happy New Year Tiffany! Stay safe.
Hello Tiffany. Good luck in the new concert, i already want to here you play and practice.
aaaaa i always love your playing even thought it's just sight-reading here 😭🙏♥️
Great workshop, very promising for the recital. Best wishes.
Happy 2021, dear Tif 😊
The caméra angles, with the reflection, is fun. Use it again please. :)
I agree...🙂
I always enjoy your playing, and love being able to 'read' your thoughts in real time, thank you! =D
You have inspired me to learn this French Suite 😊
I really adore Bach music.
happy Gregorian New Years to you all.
Good luck with your charity work.
God bless
I think I will try to play this! Love the videos!!
my second favourite allemande, probably favourite overall suite. thanks for playing this.
I don’t play anything, but this was fascinating. Watching others use their skills-whatever those may be-is always exciting. Thank you.
I love my Bach!
Thank you 🥺🙏❣️
Taking lessons for piano. I don't necessarily plan to be a virtuoso in it, but learn enough to play gigs and church services.
Your knowledge of the instrument is an inspiration!
Hi Tiffany, Happy New Year! As a non-musician I really admire and respect the patience and disciplined practice it takes to play at your level. It would be cool if there were a way to communicate w/ Bach across the centuries and have him critique your work; I think he would (mostly!) approve.🙂💙
Happy new year everyone
I love your accurate pronounciation of Bach's name
Love the sight reading:)
I got a Simply Piano ad at the beginning of this video. Life is weird 😂
Thanks for answering my question Tiffany!
I got it too 🤦🏽♀️ 😂
Thank you! I need to learn some Bach now.
Great video. Very encouraging to play on my reed organ tonight.
Hoping I can see you live this year!!
Yes! The Q&A format is very helpful thank you! I liked the tip about learning the topography of the keyboard. I’ve been playing for 10+ years (as an amateur) and have noticed that I do not have to look at the keyboard as often anymore.
Also your sightseeing is amazing, I understand that you are a professional pianist and have been doing this for 19 years straight, but still.. so envious haha! In a good way of course ;-)
Glad you enjoyed the Q&A format. There are many others who can sight-read better than I can, I'm sure - so the point of these vlogs is just to show you my perspective and process :)
I love the way you play bach suites. By the way, happy new year😊
Such good touch on the keys.
Getting my wisdom teeth removed the 23rd so don't think I'm going to be in a great condition for a concert, even online... Glad you get to play on dreamstage again with a friend though :)
Also, I love the 3 major key French suites, they just each get more and more heavenly... my favourite is definitely the fourth.
I like this format better too!
I'm happy you found a spot of comfort and security underneath the solid body of a grand piano..which is really counterintuitive as at the same time one might say the last place you would want to be for security would be underneath a grand piano...back on topic ...I really enjoy all of your videos..because it is wonderful for a fantastic pianist and beautiful person such as yourself to invite me on your journey through this musical world we travel through.ps I have to add that I love to wake up with my tools and work related materials all around me!. Lol
Tiffany answered my IG question, feeling blessed! 😩🙌 Love the videos btw, keep striving Tiffany!
😊
Love u!!! You inspire me
Well, I'm not first, but now I do get to have lunch with (while watching) Tiffany. Yippee! :-)
love you tiffany
I’m actually really glad you posted this. I’ve lately felt self-conscious as a pianist and my sight-reading skills... I’m actually a piano turned flautist so I do well in sight-reading flute but piano’s just a whole new level. (Flute didn’t seem like a good idea during ZOOM university)
My college piano teacher gave me the French suites last semester and I utterly botched up sight-reading in front of her every week. So many incorrect notes and forget articulation! I didn’t sign up for private lessons for next semester cause I was so self-conscious!! Haha but I think I might sign up for next semesters piano lessons after all now!
Yay 😁 another video
Looking forward to the Jan 23 fundraising concert with Jan Vogler (for Local 802 - Emergency Relief Fund for New York Musicians)
If I didn't knew it was sight read I would thought the first one was already trained some time before. Congratulations!
Loved this! Go get your rest now haha
I actually really like the aesthetic and angle of the phone camera...I think more than the usual videos...
This new format is great! By the way get enough sleep Tiffany, health comes before anything.
I enjoyed this perspective from your phone. Although we can see which finger goes where, we see how they dance.
Hiiii love your videos sooo much 🥰🥰
Thank you ❣️
I thought this format was great. Kept it interesting, and I enjoyed all of it
Me: i suck at piano
Also me: not practice
Me now: i see
Bonne année ma talentueuse pianiste, happy New Year, rivers of peace, health and succes, a lot of succes!
Lmao why does listening to you talk make me so relaxed- the way you pronounce your S and T sounds 😍
Thankiuu !
I laughed .... when I realized I forgot to breathe many times, trying to follow notes :) - After your video, I watched the clavichord version of the suite. Christophe Rousset and Blandine Rannou's versions didn't fit my taste but I really liked the way Magdalena Baczewska played.
A famous sight-reading session was Franz Liszt playing from the manuscript of Grieg's new Piano Concerto in a note-perfect reading in front of the stunned composer.
I’m not sure if you’ve talked on this yet, but could you do a video for adults that want to learn the piano? Like cheaper but still great pianos to buy to practice on, your advice, how often to practice, work material you’d recommend, music/pieces you’d recommend to start learning etc. I know some piano but I’d love to dedicate this year to actually practicing and learning everyday but having an idea of where to start to learning some classical music would be nice. Thank you!! ❤️
