'Play
steady', - aka 'live steady'. In balance.
Is
it possible? Who can...
He's
trying to follow my instruction -
to
raise the wrist while climbing 'roll ups'
with
fingers, cheeks getting blush (anger?),
eyes
– pregnant of tears, boiling...
oh,
boy...- 'please, go wash your face',
(and
all fear), - I send him to bathroom (my student)...
so
many times praying: 'don't take
my
advise too close...we're working...
mastering
skills...scales are tricky...
you
have to be ready to walk along

ReplyDeletethat is just crazy....wow....5 years old...amazing...
ReplyDeletesmiles....even we dont know all the answers so def walk closely
if you follow me...
Wow he has some talent indeed, balance can sure be tough
ReplyDeleteI like the idea that when one learns something like piano one has to be ready to walk across the invisible line....and I also like your advice not to follow your advice too closely. Anyone who learns an art needs to develop his/her own style somehow; and it is a good teacher who can foster that in a student. Enjoyed this, Humbird.
ReplyDeleteI am blown away by this child's talent and genius. I am also happy to see he is still a five year old boy, in the humorous way he ends his pieces and then grins, little-kid happy. I hope he can keep his joy in playing. He already has all the talent anyone could ever need. It is hard to believe his little fingers can do all that! I enjoyed the poem about balance......
ReplyDeleteoh heck...i wish i could only play half as well... he's awesome... but yes...if you want to play fast on any instrument, you have to practice slowly and steady..with a metronome..ha...i hate metronomes...smiles
