I CRITIQUE My FIRST Youtube Performance... | Piano Self-Critique Series | Bach Prelude in C Major

So here it goes! You know what, as beginner pianists I think it's so important for us to constructively and honest review and critique our performances. For so long I put-off filming or recording my performance because of my fear it would be terrible... eekk!  But once I started doing it, it really helped to transform my technique, posture, confidence, and, ultimately, my performance and enjoyment.  S

o today I'm sharing with you a live critique of my first Youtube performance of J.S. Bach's Prelude in C Major... I think I'll make this into a series, I found it really helpful and actually a lot fun sharing my thoughts.  

I'd love to hear yours! :-)

~  As an adult beginner I thought others may benefit from following my progress with the piano.   It has always been a lifelong ambition of mine to learn the piano and play publicly with confidence, joy and skill. I have been practicing now for exactly a year and I have learned so much that could help others who are also starting to learn this amazing instrument.  

Learning the piano can often be challenging and isolating, so my goal is to share my experiences with others and to help you not feel alone. I'm going to be real and honest, I'm going to include my outtakes and mishaps, my goals and aspirations, and my tricks and tips.  I'm a piano beginner and proud! 👍🎹 I hope you enjoy my Journey  Oscar

To all the budding and beginner pianists out there! You are not alone! I'm Oscar and began my piano journey at the ripe age of 35. I began learning in December 2021 with no prior experience with the piano, and it's the greatest thing I ever did!

I've now decided to document my progress and adventure. I'll share with you my challenges and successes, sprinkled with a little advice, knowledge and tomfoolery :-) I hope you enjoy my journey and I hope it helps with yours!

I love to help with anything I can so don't hesitate to leave a comment with a question and I'll do my best to answer 👍
