Yo, this will be the second week of playing/recording. I busted through and finished memorizing One Man’s Dream, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I can play it well yet 😉
Let me know what you think and be brutal, I can take it.

Good work! It just sounds to me like the end needs some more practicing so you know it as well as the beginning. Once you have it all down, I suggest using a metronome to really polish it up, but I think you are a very good pianist! You have inspired me to get back to playing!
Def need more practice, on the whole thing but it has been a week, you’ll just have to see how I sound in the next progress vid, coming Friday! I appreciate your support, I wouldn’t say I’m good but I’m trying 🙂 You’ll have to do a few videos of your own so we can check out a weathered talent.
I don’t know about the weathered talent part. Maybe withered talent! haha I haven’t seriously played in about 10 years. It’s sad, but true. And you seem to learn really fast! I can’t learn that fast! Maybe I’ll do a video….but that’s a big maybe!
Really, ten years? But it’s like riding a bike I’m sure 😉 I’m lookin forward to hearing something, if not a video then an audio recording would do 🙂
You need to get your left hand notes down so you can focus on bringing the right hand melody out more. The melody kind of gets lost in all the accompaniment notes because that is what you are focused on (because there are so many of them.) It will come.
You should also put the camera down and to the side of you so we can see more of your fingers and not the back of your neck.
Otherwise, it sounds great and you are learning very fast.
I’ll try changing the camera view. It’s behind me like that because I really wanted you to be able to see the keys, and the side view seems more difficult to pick up what my hands were doing.
I didn’t realize there was a melody and accompaniment with Yanni, because his music just flows together and the two parts don’t really play over the top of each other, rather they follow each other but I did have the damper peddle on for these recordings. I’m still training my hands to not just bang with full force on the keys and the damper helped get a more even sound, but the last video will be different, let me know if the melody shows up more clearly.
