8:32 "too tired" didn't feel like practicing

*PROCEEDS TO PRACTICE 1.5 HOURS*

[gomagoma]

My favorite practice tip is from Robert Schumann’s “Musikalische Haus- und Lebensregeln.”

“When you have done your musical day's work and feel tired, do not exert yourself further. It is better to rest than to work without pleasure and vigour.”

(Original:
“Hast du dein musikalisches Tagewerk gethan und fühlst dich ermüdet, so strenge dich nicht zu weiterer Arbeit an. Besser rasten, als ohne Lust und Frische arbeiten.” )

Schumann also advises;
“Das »wohltemperirte Clavier« sei dein täglich Brod. Dann wirst du gewiß ein tüchtiger Musiker.”
I believe in this adage because of two legendary adherents of this rule, namely Pablo Casals and Andras Schiff.

(3:07, 4:01 Cannot help loving these “eTiffany” moments😂)

3:23 good to see I'm not the only one who rests his head on the piano from time to time :D

My main struggle is finding enough motivation to keep practicing to get a piece from, say, 60-70% to 90-100%. I don't normally struggle with motivation at the beginning but my motivation dies when I get to about 60%, and I get bored. If anyone has any tips on how to overcome that, I'd love to hear them :)

Listening to all those snatches of the G minor Ballade just gave me an appetite to hear the rest of it!

I really enjoyed this practice video. I’ve never sat with or sat through someone’s practice time other than my own. And, you’re right about not having a routine. I actually tried to set one and then I felt so bored that each time I practiced I had to purposely do different things and the practice became more rewarding and I got more out of it. I can see why many people were asking you about doing this video. It answered so many questions. Everyone wants a bit of guidance from you to be able to play well. For those who did not have a routine now feel more certain that they are on the right track. At the end your message was to do what works for you. As I can only speak for myself, after listening to what you said, I no longer feel guilty that I’m doing something wrong with my practice. As it is, I have little time these days to get to the piano each week and so what you said made a big difference for me so thank you so very much! If you have time and don’t mind, I would love to see another one of these practice videos!!!

[Bassynater]

It’s kind of relieving to see your practice style. I am rather sporadic with my practice, but drill specific spots and points of my pieces in the same way! I’ve been watching your videos for motivation in my pursuit of music so thank you so much for your energy and videos!

[leilani]

A metaphysical routine: figure out what you need to work on and work it out :) Listen, evaluate, and fix

[CarlBowlby]

Very good video, enjoyable and instructive. I like the concept of NOT following a ROUTINE...any routine becomes boring in the end. My biggest problem with practicing is getting motivated, inspired and ambitious. And seeing as I am a church organist, the piano is quite the opposite experience with the attack and decay of the organ sound versus the piano sound. So when I practice at home with my piano keyboard sometimes when I translate to the organ, it doesn’t work out because of the issues I described with just the attack and decay of the organ manual versus the piano keyboard. Anyway, this is not about me, but how you, Tiffany, are a very gifted player and that you’ve really got it all together at such a young age. Awesome for you! Keep up the great work with practicing/playing/performing and making these vids.

I think I'm in love with her. Her videos full of honesty help me get out of my doubts about practicing and also motivates me a lot.
Bravo! You are so Brave sharing even your weak aspects that are not usually shown by professional pianists.
I hope this effort will be a new trend among famous pianists and than in all professional areas, too. It is not only natural for both sides but helpful in various ways.
Thank you very much Tiffany! You are a pioneer!

[andy_grds]

to be completely honest, this video motivated me to go practice !!! thanks for that😂❤

[jackieharpold]

Being so good at it, you make everything look so easy . Love hearing your music .

[Lwmyoun]

I love the way you practice, kinda like you don't press yourself to practice.
And this video reminds me so much to not give up practicing the piano. Thank you Tiffany!!

[leona]

Excellent. Completely agree about ‘routine’. The best routine being no routine.. True creativity emerges that way. Thanks so much!

[jameswieser]

Great video. When I was younger I used to spend quite a bit of time going through exercises in many different variations. ie: faster, slower accenting different notes etc. it looked like you were doing the say.
I love how the cat visited you occasionally.

[mgad]

Thank you for this video! I practice about one to three hours and I also don't have a routine, I was wondering if I should have a routine... But I'm glad to find out that you also just practice the way you feel, makes me more comfortable with practicing :) also, your videos are getting better and better!

[emberheart]

Please more like this. Of course people want to hear how you practice! This is gold for any serious pianist.

[electricblue]

The fact that when you decide to practice, you can consistently play for an hour or more at will is awesome. I can barely motivate myself to play for an hour at a time. Keep up the good work 👍.

[robertawestbrooks]

How awesome her piano routine. I only wish I could practice like her.
Wow, she's been playing for long time. It shows in a practice.
