Hi Hellene
Yes I know my timing for each piece is not at right time or in rhythm which needs to improve.
I will slow down a bit and take it slowly.... LOL.
I overplayed and it becomes automatic in my brain and play....
What tempo range should I use when i use the metronome. My brain refuses to follow the metronome at times. Range 46-50?

Hi Hellene
Good day to you.
As per your instructions and guidance. I have tried out the Mountain King umpteen times. It is exhausting and turning to be bored soon.

Realized that to succeed or to master in one piece of music is difficult. Cannot imagine those who can play so well without reading notes, amazing.

Here it is.

Thank you.

It is very nice catching up with you again.

I am also working on the Fur Elise, learning in progress. Hope my fingering is correct.

I would like to check with you on the upcoming Recital, some questions on this.
1) we need to be on presentation 6 mode or any mode is doable?
2) Do we need to show our body and face or both hands are good enough?
3) Do you accept those pieces that I have posted before or it has to be new piece?

Lastly, I see that you have created a new folder 2023/2024, shall i start posting that folder which I think so. LOL...

Thanks
Melissa

As for the recital, i think i can try to do it since it is not seeking for full accuracy. But i will try to make it the best pcs before I upload.
I need to register or I just need to do the following uploading any of the pieces in the lesson plans i am working on from the period of Dec 15 to Jan 15 to the respective folder? Let me know.

At the present moment, I do not have any specific pc of music that I am working on. Just going through the lesson plans as it is. I saw one of the youtube videos that one lady played the Beethoven Fur Elise so beautifully, I would like to play and learn that as well. Do you think i can start playing that or is it too early as it seems difficult.

Thanks
Melissa

Hi Hellene,
Good day to you and hope you are well.
Thank you for your feedback on my practice. I do play some of the games to keep me alert and remember the keys. However, I do not play often as I either have time to practice or games. It can take up lots of time if I do play all the games. I have enclosed my score for your viewing.

I will check on the last 2 pics on the rhythm with presentation 5. As for the Hanon 2, I took it from lesson 17. I tried on etudes at times. but some of them is far low keys which I cannot practice as my keyboard is only 61 keys not 88 keys.

you also mentioned about weekly lesson plans online. I only know this site to learn. globalmusiceducation.com/pages/piano-int...eginners-all-lessons
Is there other site that i can learn as well? I hope I am not missing out such a good resource.....

Yes Hellene, I was actually towards to lesson 13 but now i back to lesson 2 as I did not record my previous learning, so I re start and back to lesson 2. So i can get your feedback how I can improve better.
I tried using the Metronome, i put 50, 60 and even 65, sometimes i can follow the beats and sometimes not. So i need to figure out which piece for which bpm. I also realised that i must remember which fingering for which keys so then i can play correctly with ease.
I look forward to your feedback on my videos. thank you so much and greatly appreciated.

Hi Hellene

Thanks for checking my work. I have done revision from my last post. I have tried more than 100 times, but still not processing with 100% accuracy.
I have a problem when I played too long, my brain tends to automatically play along with my hands, when i key one wrongly, my brain tends to loss the entire keys and I have to restart all over again.

When i make mistakes, i break the mind automation and relook the keys then i am back to my senses and found the key. What is wrong here? Are you able to understand what i am explaining??

My updated video not to perfection. Please let me know my progress. Tks very much.
