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.  😁

December update

Heyhey!!

I'm finally back after a long hiatus. The last time I blog was 6 months ago and the last time I uploaded some content was a year ago! Time flies and now I'm a freshmen in University so that means busy busy busy.



My schoolmate and I have come together to play this really nice chinese song 你,好不好? (How have you been?) by Eric. We took a few days to learn our sections and had a few test run before deciding to record it.

It was my first time collaborating with a vocalist and I've definitely learnt a lot about accompaniment work.

I'm still recording on my IpodTouch, so the quality is still pretty much the same as when I first started making videos years back. :P

I am planning to upload so classical pieces so stay tuned... Hint: Chopin
