YouTube Update
September 2nd, 2009
Okay, so here’s just a small update. As you may have seen, I’ve got the YouTube account happenin’.
What’s that? NO piano talent videos yet? Booooo.
Well, just wait a minute now. I am WORKING ON IT. In fact, tonight I did a practice run with my camera and amazing Yamaha MIDI recorder USB-port thing for Debussy’s Clair De Lune and it went pretty well.
The only problem is, I’m a perfectionist. I want to play it perfectly. No mistakes, no fumbles, no hard hits on certain keys, perfect rhythm, perfect musicality, perfect dynamics, perfect (ugh) arpeggiate chords… it all just has to be PERFECT. Well, almost perfect, at least.
And I’m getting there. Especially since I’m using this advanced MIDI recording thing, the sound is super clear, so you can hear anything that I do wrong.
Even while it does sound pretty good, I still wish I had a grand piano. There’s nothing like the sound of a concert grand. Someday, when I have enough money (and a big enough house), I will buy a baby grand piano and everything will sound even more amazing.
Thant reminds me, I have to remind my parents to call a piano tuner to get our poor, horribly-out-of-tune console piano back it to shape. I wonder if it can be saved…
Elise’ Musical Tip For The Day:
Well, I already posted before, so this doesn’t count. Are you a night owl? Stay up all hours of the night practicing. I’ve done this on several occassions. I’ll practice right from 11pm to 3am and wonder where the time went. It’s probably not the healthiest thing to do, but at least it’s productive. Happy practicing!
