10/100 days of practice || My progress of “To Zanarkand.” If there’s anything I miss from childhood, it’s the luxury of playing video games and the piano. What do you miss about your childhood? . . . . . . . . #adultpianolearner #pianolearner #pianolover🎹 #classicalpianists #videogamerlife #nobuouematsu #finalfantasymusic #pianotaste #femalepianists #pianoplayersofinstagram #taiwanlifestyle #contentcreatorsph #socialmediatipsforartists #100daysofpractice (at Manila, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS9EArDHWTB/?utm_medium=tumblr

10/100 days of practice || Czerny Op. 299 No. 11 is far from complete, but I'd like to think that my transitions are becoming more smooth. Also, I've never played Chopin before. So here I am working on Chopin Prelude in B minor Op. 28 No. 6 (1/2) Czerny Op. 299 No. 2 (2/2) Chopin Prelude in B minor Op. 28 No. 6 How's your practice going? . . . . . . . . #adultpianolearner #pianolearner #pianolover🎹 #pianojournal #pianoscales #chopin #chopinprelude #czerny #pianotaste #femalepianists #pianoplayersofinstagram #taiwanlifestyle #beautifulpianomusic #klaviercover #instagrammusicians #musicforyoungchildren #musicforyourmind #musicforyourears #contentcreatorsph #socialmediatipsforartists #100daysofpractice (at Taipei, Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS5uzRenYGJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

8/100 days of practice || I received a tip from @eugeneplaysclarinet and implemented it (Shout out to you!). It worked wonders! Slow indeed is fast! 🤪 Thank you so much! (1/3) To Zanarkand bottleneck - a bit more polished. (2/3) Cleaning up note per note transition. (3/3) I'm not entirely sure if this is what @eugeneplaysclarinet meant, but it helped. Setting aside time to practice pays off. 🙌 I see the gap closing as I clean up this section. Care to tag me on your practice progress? I’d love to celebrate with you! . . . . . . . . #adultpianolearner #pianolearner #pianolover🎹 #pianojournal #videogamerlife #nobuouematsu #finalfantasymusic #pianotaste #femalepianists #pianoplayersofinstagram #taiwanlifestyle #contentcreatorsph #socialmediatipsforartists #pianoscales #100daysofpractice (at Taipei, Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSyqBJsHWjn/?utm_medium=tumblr

7/100 days of practice || My live stream yesterday got cut. But these are a few of the things I do during my practice. (1-3/4) I run through some scales before moving on to my exercise/s and pieces. I'm not sure how to improve this process, but I hope to work with a teacher again soon! (4/5) I move on to the piece I'm working on: I took it easy with Moon River. Here's what prepared me for my live stream practice run last night. (Nope, it sounded magical but there was no magic applied 😉) (5/5) Sort of improvised on Henry Mancini's arrangement since I thought it was too short. Care to share some of your favorite scales? . . . . . . . . #adultpianolearner #pianolearner #pianolover🎹 #pianojournal #pianoscales #moonriverandme #henrymancini #cocktailpiano #pianotaste #femalepianists #pianoplayersofinstagram #taiwanlifestyle #beautifulpianomusic #contentcreatorsph #socialmediatipsforartists #100daysofpractice (at Taipei, Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSwHGdJHebY/?utm_medium=tumblr

5/100 days of practice || Nobuo Uematsu composed "To Zanarkand," no doubt. This section somehow reminds me of a part from Melodies Of Life (FFIX). I included a recording of it. Comment below if you notice any similarities. . . . . . . . . #adultpianolearner #pianolearner #pianolover🎹 #pianojournal #videogamerlife #nobuouematsu #finalfantasymusic #pianotaste #femalepianists #pianoplayersofinstagram #taiwanlifestyle #finalfantasyx #finalfantasyix #contentcreatorsph #socialmediatipsforartists #100daysofpractice (at Taipei, Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSrCJ9cHyvN/?utm_medium=tumblr

4/100 days of practice || I think I got too immersed practicing. I forgot to record myself working on "To Zanarkand" after working on Czerny Op. 299 No. 7 exercise. I haven't played this in a while, but it's my favorite Czerny exercise. I find it so melodic I listen to Claudio Colombo's recording on Spotify over and over again. I had fun playing it, but still figuring out how do it real clean. Tips, anyone? :) . . . . . . . . #adultpianolearner #pianolearner #pianolover🎹 #pianojournal #czerny #czerny299 #pianoprogress #pianoamateur #pianotaste #femalepianists #pianoplayersofinstagram #taiwanlifestyle #contentcreatorsph #socialmediatipsforartists #100daysofpractice (at Taipei, Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSoWM5on_Su/?utm_medium=tumblr

3/100 days of practice || Oftentimes, we see the finished product, but not the process. Learning a piece is like gaining a new friend. You start as strangers, and you get to know each other. Then you go through trials together and finish strong. In the end, you develop a strong and unique bond. At this point, I'm still getting to know this piece and the story it has to tell. As much as I want to put a deadline to it, I think I'll take my time with this one. We don't want anything to steal the fun away, do we? _______________ Although this part has the same melody as the previous one, the shift from eight to sixteenth notes in the left-hand challenges me. I probably need to coordinate the right hand's timing and press the right notes on the left hand. Those LH notes spread through three octaves. 🥲🥲🥲 _______________ Tips, anyone? . . . . . . . . #adultpianolearner #pianolearner #pianolover🎹 #pianojournal #videogamerlife #nobuouematsu #finalfantasymusic #pianotaste #femalepianists #pianoplayersofinstagram #taiwanlifestyle #contentcreatorsph #socialmediatipsforartists #100daysofpractice #tozanarkandpiano (at Taipei, Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSjW9OfHvXb/?utm_medium=tumblr

1/100 days of practice || I had been practicing on and off since my major blooper back in 2018. As light as I’m trying to make it sound, it was emotionally scarring - close to traumatic. It took me some time to process the events, and all I know now is that I’m an upgraded @bellepeppurr.piano . So here I am, incorporating a musician’s daily grind back into my life! Taking it slow and easy with this piece: Nobuo Uematsu - “To Zanarkand” from Final Fantasy X ——— Process: 1/4 DO NOT BE DECEIVED! This is the final product of my practice. Swipe 👉🏻 to see the process. 2/4 I chopped the elephant by practicing the right hand part first 3/4 And then the left hand part (it’s always easier that way) 4/4 I played the left hand part in (stacked) chords to help them remember where they’re supposed to go when I play them in broken chords ——— Don’t skip the process, no matter how challenging it is. It’s always worth going through! 😉 . . . . . . . . #adultpianolearner #pianolearner #pianolover🎹 #classicalpianists #videogamerlife #nobuouematsu #finalfantasymusic #pianotaste #femalepianists #pianoplayersofinstagram #taiwanlifestyle #contentcreatorsph #socialmediatipsforartists #100daysofpractice (at Taipei, Taiwan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSY8G9GF8Pg/?utm_medium=tumblr
