"Hello my name is Shoshana Cook I'm with Expert Village and today I will be talking about tips on learning and playing classical music. Third don't stop when you make a mistake. If you miss one note or you play one note maybe you are just a half step wrong, don't worry about that just keep going. We want to get a good feel from the beginning to the end on how the song goes. Do you want to be able to crescendo and decrescendo. Speed up and slow down and really get in some motion and feeling. If you stop every time, you are not going to get a good sense on how a song goes. So even if you miss up just keep going. If you miss up really bad skip to the next measure and wait to that time comes up and then start and keep going. "

on 8/2/2008 Everyone at the Moscow Conservatory is looking at your video and is feeling shocked and horrified. WHO was your professor, at the University of North Texas? DID you study all of Czerny Etudes and Chopin Etudes in your childhood? HOW is it possible, that you studied at the university level and your professor let you graduate as a music major, at this level?! Do you not have examinations for graduation? Russian students practice 8 hours every day from the age of 5, and practice Czerny and Moszkowski Etudes, scales, and arpeggios until blood comes out from the tips of their fingers...all in their childhoods....and many play Don Juan, Mephisto Waltz, and Chopin Etudes by the age of 12. We play almost all of Bach's Well Tempered works, almost all of Chopin's Etudes, and a huge and difficult repertoire at the university level, and we practice 12 hours every single day (we don't have weekends in Moscow). STILL most of us feel that we are not good enough to have the right to TEACH on the internet!
