Hugh Waldock - Classical Piano

My channel dedicated to my study of classical piano. I started piano late at 16. Before that I was a singer and a minor violinist and I only started to play piano to improve my harmony skills at first. However, after just one year with two teachers at school I fluked a win in the school Junior Piano Competition at school in 1995 playing a simple Minuet in A by Johann Krieger and my teacher said I had charisma at it. After a rest for while I started music college at Cologne Conservatoire Wuppertal Campus in Germany as a foreign student. I had a compulsory second study piano with Jan Ehnes the brother of the famous violinist James Ehnes and he taught me how to play my first Little Bach Prelude in G BWV 902a completely without mistakes for my final exam. I was now 25 but I left college early and it wasn't until I was 29 that I practised 9 hrs a day on my own without a teacher to great acclaim in some online competitions. It's only at 47 that I have professional ambition to record things.
