Teaching Piano Lessons

Today was my first day teaching piano lessons. I had everything planned... and then it didn't end up the way I wanted it. I was expecting everything to take longer, but it went too fast, so I ran out of things to talk about. I ended up explaining about the composers and their styles of music. I think some of the students may have been bored with that... Oh well. Next time I will have a much better plan. 


If anyone ever has any requests for piano (something that's really easy to learn fast so that I could upload it) please email me at thepianistviviana@gmail.com

To All Musicians

I want to say to all musicians, don't let anyone tear you down. There will be people who will try to make it seem like you're not good, but don't listen to them. Continue to work on your music. Believe me, I've gotten some dislikes on Youtube, and I'm pretty sure at times it might be one person doing all of that, but I try to move on. I stick to the good things people tell me. Isn't so funny how a kind comment can change your whole day into something good, and how horrid comments make your day terrible? But don't worry about that. With practice, you will only get better. Imagine how many people didn't like Beethoven's music, or Chopin's, or Bach's. That didn't stop them; they kept striving to do their best. Use your talents for good works, strive for the best, and don't listen to the bad things people will tell you.

And to all the my friends and family, thank you for being a great support. I wouldn't have gotten past thinking about those "dislikes" on Youtube. You all have said very kind things. :)

To my readers on this blog and to my subscribers on Youtube: thank you all for reading and subscribing! But please do not be that type of person who criticizes or complains about someone's videos or anything of that sort. Do what you would like to be done to yourself. A kind comment can go a long way.

Blessings to all,

What I'm hoping to work on for piano

Hello my friends! What I'm hoping to work on for piano is Tempest Sonata by Beethoven (I mean, to finish it), Invention 8 by Bach, and Claire de Lune by Debussy (shorter version). I think Beethoven's Tempest Sonata is genius, the way it changes key in the middle of it, and the techniques that are used. I really like Invention 8 because it really has that Baroque style to it (well, it is Baroque) and it will give my fingers some exercise. As for Claire de Lune, I'm learning it for my Grandma, since she really likes it. It's not exactly my style, but I'm going to try it out. 


And something exciting: I have three people interested in taking piano lessons from me! I'm really excited to start! 


Something I really want to save my money for is a piano. I still have a keyboard... Well, at least it's something. I'm hoping to get a digital piano, since it would be saving money, as it would not need any tuning.
