Hi, Just wanted to let you know that something funny might have happened with the sound at the beginning for the Forget-me-not waltz. Bar 1 and 3 sound like quaver crochet quaver, effectively making them 2 beat bars.

Also near the end (I think bar 30), first note played is D, not E as written.

Hope you don’t mind me pointing this out, but they were quite striking. (I quite like the 5/8 feel it gave the first phrase!)

Great job, your videos are my ‘go to’ ones when I learn new pieces. And You are one of only a few pianists on YouTube to play tarantella properly.😊

For Kangding Love Song you went quite fast, and very helpful too

[lydthecat]

This is so helpful! I'm doing grade 2 and the exam is really close

[TheSingaporeTrainEnthusiast]

My music teacher says that Lullaby must be slow, not too fast, but I still like the music you made! Great Job!

[xiaoyuhan]

Thanks for sharing. My son will do Grade 2 next Tuesday. He picked Ecossaise in G, forget me not Waltz, and Mozzi. I hope he can get 130/150

[blackwolf]

I am doing A1 A3 B3 and C1 you have helped me a lot with those pieces

[Stanforkpop]

I improve a lot during grade 2 exam and got my best marks

[lucymadden]

I’m doing my grade 2 exam this November and I’ve chosen:
A1 - Ecossaise in G
B2 - Lullaby
C3 - Daydream

Interesting hearing the Gavotte by Dusek. My grade 2 student played this for her exam recently and scored 28/30. The metronome marking is faster than played here, also, it’s really import to adhere to the phrasing n the music. These are the details which will gain the higher marks.

Thank you for putting this up, as a useful reference. You might check carefully, with the sheet music, counting through the pieces, before you post, perhaps? But thank you.

One notice, in Kangding Love Song, at the ending it is supposed to slow down

[flyingcheeseburger]

I chose gavotte in f, lullaby, railroad blues and mozzie

[notavaaas]

i did tarantella, postcard from paris and railroad and got 135/150!

[robertfoster]

I know it seems odd, but I have heard Eccossaise in G by Elisey Mysin as part of a solo concert when he was 5, which would have been about 6 years ago. He stepped up onto the piano stool with a foot stool to support his feet and out of a tiny frame at a grand piano came lovely music. The video should still be available on Elisey Mysin's You tube channel.

[Treytonog]

Im doing my recording tomorrow!! Wish me luck,
To answer what i chose,
I picked
Tarantella,
Forget-me-not-waltz,
Lullaby,
And Railroad Blues! RB is my fav

[maoyao.]

just checking in, when's the next suzuki book?

[NZAmily]

Currently learning tarantella, it sounds so hard to play! 😢

[susanoktaviane]

Why did you play the repeat at tarantella 1 octave higher? In the sheet its just ask you to play it second time p
