Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas to all! 

Currently, I've taken a break from piano so that I can spend more time on school work. I only play during my leisure time, thus explaining the lack of uploads. I've found time to put together this simple and elegant piece by Emily Bear. Hope that I'll still be able to find time to play the piano and upload videos on my channel. A BIG THANK YOU to all who have been following my musical journey since I've started my YouTube channel.

Haydn

Hey !


I'm not sure who transcribed this piece for piano and I skipped all the repeats in my score. :P I didn't expect it was going to turn out so bright from my window. Haha, enojy!

Anyways, I'm going to learn more movements from Bach french suite no.6. Currently, I can play Courante, Polonaise and Minuet. I'm considering if I should learn Bourree or Allemande. Both sound so good!

Another collab

Proudly presenting......



Yeap, the duet! This piece brings back lots of memories, especially when I first learnt it 2 years ago.
This piece starts off with blue moon and then goes to the original heart and soul melody.

This was recorded on my friend's Iphone 7plus. I'm so loving the quality of this!

Enjoy and stay tuned for my next video.

July Update

Hey everyone

I thought I would like to give y'all an update on the repertoire I'm working on now for piano.

1. Mozart Sonata in D K.284 (Movt.1)
I have been working on this piece for about 3 months and now I'm trying to clean it with better speed and accuracy. This piece have a really playful character and I really enjoy the dynamics contrast of the piece as well.

2. Clementi Sonata Op.1 No.2 (Movt. 2)
I started working on this piece in June and I'm halfway through it now. This is the first Clementi sonata I'm learning, I had learnt some of his sonatinas in the past, but his sonatas are pretty cool as well!

3. Transcription of Haydn's Surprise Symphony (Movt. 2)
Started working on this piece the week before last and I must say I'm not a huge fan of this piece at all. I've never heard of Haydn's Surprise Symphony prior to learning this piece. Maybe I should try exposing myself to more symphonies and orchestra works. My teacher wanted me to work on something different, so I agreed to take on this transcription. And I must say, it is definitely not an easy one.

4. Heart and Soul Piano Duet
This was a piece which I had learnt 2 years back, I always wanted to get a video of me playing it with my friend but that didn't happen. So, I'm picking up this piece again in hopes that I might get a video of this duet.

However, I'm not sure if I would be able to upload and videos this month, as I'm currently working a temp job which takes up most of my time. But, I still have 2 weeks of holiday in August before school starts and I should be able to find time to make videos then.

Criserl : More videos

Hello

I've collaborated with me friend Claris again as I'm currently on school break, so we thought it would be fun to do a collab.

In this first video, Claris is actually standing on my right side, hence u can't see her in the video. But u can see her standing beside me in the 2nd video!


Next up, this is actually an excerpt of Through the Night, the vocals is kinda soft as I did not have the voice recording to do an overlay, hence using a earpiece might help with the audio quality. We did not rehearsed this piece at all, this is just a fun video that we decided to throw in at the end of the day.


Do let me know if you enjoy watching collabs and want more of such content on my channel. I'll be posting more classical pieces in June so stay tuned for those.

I'm back with a new video

I haven't played an Emily Bear piece for quite awhile, so I decided why not learn one of her older compositions which is relatively simple and has a really pretty melody line.


As usual, this piece was played by ear and nope I do not have the sheet music.

I'll be uploading more videos soon, so stay tuned!!
XOXO

Another Anniversary on YT

Today marks my 5th anniversary of YouTube journey.

It is really nice to see how my playing have improve over the years and how much my techniques have matured over time.

Thanks to all who have been incredibly supportive and I'm excited to be posting more music as soon as my school semester ends in May.  😁
