Thanks for visiting my channel!

***************************************
Note: I have moved to a new channel, and will hence, stop uploading new videos here. I'll still log into this channel every now and then, but not too often, so here's my new channel:

http://www.youtube.com/user...

Having taken up both guitar and vocal lessons recently, I'd like to be able to share that part of my musical journey with you, and since BlindNoobPianist is such a piano-centered channel, it just seems appropriate for me to create a new channel just so I could expand beyond piano -- uploading videos of guitar playing and hopefully, singing...once I've gathered up the courage for that, lol:)

I'll still be leaving BlindNoobPianist as it is though, since I have links to these piano videos on other sites -- it really wouldn't be nice to greet an interested potential viewer with

"This channel has been removed."

So yeah, I'll re-upload these piano videos on "tuningmylifearound" just to keep track of things, but it will still remain up on BlindNoobPianist.

Anyways, friends, I hope you would join me on my new channel. It's kinda boring now with just one lousy guitar recording, but I'll be uploading more, and at least there would be variety now;) So hope to see you there!

Again, the URL is:

http://www.youtube.com/user...

And as always, thanks so much for reading!^^

P.S. Oh I have a new blog as well, which frankly looks better than the BlindNoobPianist one, lol. It's waaay less intense:D You would be able to find the URL to that on "tuningmylifearound"

**************************************
Like my name suggests, I'm a beginner pianist, though I'm not completely blind, I've lost most of my sight, enough to qualify as being legally blind.

I'm 22 and have just started learning to play the piano in late February this year (2010). After about 4 months' worth of weekly introductory piano lessons, I started a basic pop piano improvisation course, which I stopped temporarily after 2 months or so -- that happened about a month or two ago.

To cut a long story short, I'm hoping to use my channel as some sort of a video diary to keep track of progress in my piano playing. Unlike most blind or visually impaired musicians/pianists you may have read/heard about or seen, I'm no genius in music...not even close. I'm just an ordinary sight-deprived person struggling to learn to play an instrument:D

If you like my videos, please subscribe to my channel;) That's how I know I'm on the right track - or at least I'll know I'm doing something right:)

Thanks so much for reading! Hope to see you around!:)

I'll be sure to keep you updated on how I progress ! ;P I hope it helps me - playing with closed eyes ! I am optimistic ! :))
I wish I could say classical, but all I really used was the net and michael aron books grade 1,2,3,4 for learning some theory - - - and Im still amazingly bad at it lol !
Shane88L (1 year ago)
Ahh , great playing , I'd need a lot lot lot of time to practice to play that piece lol ! I never saw that website ! The only theory I learned was up to grade 4 ?? Probably not much, but I know the difference between quavers, semiquavers, rests, time signatures and so on, but I have to learn a piece - - I'm pretty awful at sight reading ! You may have found my "blind" playing of the piano quite hilarious lol, it was bad.. xP I tried to play uninstall seeing as my hands kind of know what to do without me thinking about anything, but not good lol I may begin using that method in my practices though !
Shane88L (1 year ago)
My teacher has been you and the rest of youtube pianists who give me inspiration ! ^-^ I really learned through the internet and I read once in Kyle Landry's blog that improvement comes through challenging your hands - - - from experience, I couldn't agree more, and the most fun songs to play have always been the most challenging for me :) I'm going to have a look at those songs you mentioned ! ^^ I prefer playing by ear seeing as I'm soooooo slow at reading sheet music -.-'
I think its better ! lol
Later, tonight, when I'm practicing, I'll try with my eyes closed ! (^..^)
Shane88L (1 year ago)
lol ^^ you give me too much credit - I've so much more work to do ! ! =] Any pointers would be great ! =P
I started playing at the end of May last year but haven't been consistent with practicing which is probably why I have only, like, seven songs learned xD The songs you play are beautifully performed - - any plans for your next piece to learn ?
Shane88L (1 year ago)
I've been at this song now since November xD - - - college work left me with little practice time unfortunately - - I will post it for the last time when I feel I've perfected it :) There are other songs I'm working on which Im learning much faster - - C-A-T was the hardest so far though !

Shane88L (1 year ago)
Wonderful ^V^ ! I decided to remove (again) my cruel angel's thesis vid -.-' I have much more work to do on it - - - I referred bk to the original vid I was ;earning from seeing as I didnt in a long time and discovered many things I need to greatly improve upon - - bk to the grinder ! ! xP
Shane88L (1 year ago)
