Angus | Piano
Energetic pianist Angus loves nothing more than to play pieces that are full of energy, such as the Allegro he recently performed at our student recital (see video below). Let’s discover what else he enjoys about piano!
What kind of music (songs or exercises) do you enjoy playing on the piano and why?
I enjoy playing fast-paced pieces on the piano because it fills me with energy and motivates me to play the entire piece.
What made you start learning the piano and what do you enjoy about playing it?
When I was younger, my mom made me learn how to play the piano because she was proficient in playing both the piano and the violin. I already knew how to play the violin and had also learned the piano. However, I decided to continue playing piano because it’s more interesting and fun!
What do you find are the easiest and hardest things about learning piano?
I struggle with playing left hand melody pieces due to being right-handed. However, playing pedal pieces is easy because you simply move your right foot up and down multiple times.
What is your favourite thing about piano lessons?
When I learn new piano pieces, I enjoy challenging myself.
What are some goals or pieces that you are currently working on?
My only goal is to complete lots of piano pieces.
What is your proudest moment or achievement as a pianist?
I am capable of memorizing all my piano pieces and playing them flawlessly from start to finish.
