Welcome to piano lesson number eight. So, we made it this far. I guess you should try and keep going if you already made it this far. So, what are the things I was thinking about since the course of my last video was that if you guys are still interested after watching all these videos and learning to play piano, I would probably go to your nearest store or use the internet and order some books on line if you already don’t have some. Probably next laps and the one after that, I will be showing you more with like theory and like learning how to read music to play better.
So, bringing that out there I’ll probably going to buy some books, probably get a scale of book and get a book with some pieces that you are interested in learning. Like if you’re into jazz, get some jazz. Look for stuffs that says beginner on it because you don’t wanna dive into like expert stuff and go on tracts on you know you don’t really have the skill because you got frustrated. Anyway, with that brought down I do not want to waste too much time on that.
Today, I’m going to be doing a lesson on how to express emotion by the way you are playing because to hear people message me saying that they wanted to learn about how to get more out of their client. I thought maybe that is a good idea. Here we go. This is a kind of a tricky subject to teach because—I don’t know. It’s not really written on paper you’re not like “okay, so, you express emotion this way, ‘bla bla bla’” because now you’re upset real. So, just have to win it I guess. For playing emotion, when I try and put emotion into my feet, I’ll play like, whatever I’m playing because I’m playing like this lullaby. I’m sure you’ll like this stuff.
“Music playing”
When I’m playing that, I just -- like picturing a little baby kind of cribbing back and forth and just like only saying, “hmm”. Just like waving in a little warm blanket and the mother is saying, “Oh, he’s so cute.” It’s kind of like, depending on what piece you play, slower pieces, faster pieces and you kind of only gear your head to, “okay, what’s happening on this piece?” is what you can only think about. Is this an angry moment or it’s a happy moment? Is the composer trying to put a cause, add some feeling for sadness or regret about something. Path of music is mostly just trying to get your emotions in the song and all so, base that from our client.
When you’re playing P is you trying to impact the crowd emotionally and you don’t want to just show off. You could get that really care some and just want to feel something. People will pick up from your playing a lot more if you can put something into it that somebody else can’t do, right? If you play like a robot then, that’s the point because you might just sound just like computers play all the music for you.
Usually you can take it like kind of a cue from the dynamics like if you see P, like they want you to use P or like a Crescendo coming up so, it’ll be louder and softer. You can kind of like make a story on your half about it like this one on P siren thinking what I really love. It’s called porcupine down and it goes, “singing”. Alright, I don’t think I have a music here but it get louder and softer and louder and then softer really soft and it gets really loud and upon my students that it’s like, I don’t really know if that’s porcupines. Well I just tell though just like some practice on them because, you know, I can’t really think of what would hide the porcupine.
