Instant!

There's no such thing as instant making skill in piano playing.
You need to constantly put in 101% effort to learn skillful piano playing.
Not only the skill or techniques but also the performance attitude.

God! I wish I'm a good piano player now. I wish I could sight read as good as my teacher.

#wishful :)

But hey, of course hard works pay off at the end. So don't lose heart if you are not as good as you want now. Keep doing your best, even do more than what is required by your teacher. Surprise them, surprise yourself!

Signs

Look carefully at every signs given. They are there for a purpose.

F - Forte - Loud
P - Piano - Soft

Playing piano, reading scores is not just about the notes but the dynamics of the song which can 'easily' be produced if you simply follow those signs given.

Expression

Watch how you play! Playing piano is not just about good techniques but also your expression.
People see the way you play and enjoy it along with the melody that you produce. Its one entity not separate items.
Take a deep breath....
Enjoy the music. Enjoy every single notes. Feel it, feel the music and let it out.
Expressionless performance is boring except if you are playing for a radio :p It's not good enough even to bring you good result in the exam!
Take it as you, your playing, your music, your interpretation. Make it yours. Play it with all of you present. Not just the mind but also the soul :)

Velocity - Burgmuller

Another piece to strengthen fingering technique :)

Piece like this is not hard at all. The notes are simply going up and down all the way. However once you miss the finger rotation and position, that could be the end of the song a.k.a stuck :p

up and down... up and down....
Let's move it little fingers!

Cherny

Main lagu-lagu nya Cherny gampang-gampang susah. Kebanyakan lagunya ceria dan ringan, tapi teknik penjariannya harus tepat kalo engga bisa-bisa stuck ditengah jalan!

Tempo, penjarian - watch out!
Come on fingers, you can do it!! :D

Violin Charm

Upon waiting for my piano class I listened to a beautiful voice from the other room.

Violin. Beautiful.
Alunan suara yang keluar dari sebuah biola itu bisa menyayat hati bangeet :(
Kalo inget lagi melodi biola itu rasanya hati jadi galau huhuhuhuuu
Energi melodi nya, gesekan senar biolanya, mantaappppp

So beautiful <3

Sonata 1 Mozart

Mr Mozart is a very happy, cheerful person :)

Playing Sonata 1

Not hard, not easy either.  When you learn this piece try to practice with the metronome on because it cant #lie :) Constant pulse, cheerful yet elegant, that's Mr Mozart.

Part 2 minor

This part doesn't mean going slower or sadder. It's still the same pulse, same energy! Then comes along the development part between right and left. Geezz it's messy! Loving it and will try to do my best to play this piece.

Hopefully can grasp this easily!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This part is like a dialogue, 'Question and Answer' part. You cant miss even just a second. Must enter eloquently, precisely at the right moment just like a conversation. You ask, I answer, you ask, I answer. The coordination between the left hand and right hand is flowing on, legato, no pause. It must sounds like a  beautiful conversation, really :)

Secondly, how to play this first note on the right hand? Originally its a minim (half note) but it has staccato as well. First we have to understand the staccato in Mozart's era is not as sharp as Cherny's. So we can hold a bit before the left hand enters. However if you meet this note on romantic era (onward) piece, you can play the staccato and use sustain to hold the note.

*Just a bit of extra information: sustain can help to make the melody sounds 'grander' or warmer especially if you are playing on a big room/arena.Have a look at Beethoven's, he lived in the transition of classical to romantic. Some said that Beethoven's compositions in classical are so different from ones that he composed in romantic. The #sustaineffect perhaps? :)
