Color is the piano

Hello, wonderful subscribers! I hope you are doing well in this situation.
I'd like to ask your help. I got a message and it said some ads are still appearing in the middle of videos. I tried to get rid of the ads in the middle of the video but I couldn't fix the problem. So I deleted that video and uploaded it again. I hope it will fix that problem. Please let me know if you find that any of my videos have ads in the middle so I can fix them.
Another issue that I want to talk about, I have some hand issues and I have to be very careful about it. So I cannot upload videos for awhile until things get better. I am sorry but please stay tuned. Thank you so much!

Hello, wonderful subscribers! I'd like to ask you about some legal issues.
1. I don't have any legal right to share music scores. Please buy the music or check a public domain website like www.imslp.org. From now on, I will delete any requests for music scores.
2. Please do not make mp3 files from my channel without my permission. That is illegal. I never agreed to YouTube putting ads during my videos. There should not be any ads during the videos, so you can practice without any interruptions. However, I heard some complaints about ads in the middle of them. Please trust me, I didn't set things up that way. I know we are all currently in a weird situation, such that you cannot have a real pianist for practice or recording. And that's why you made mp3 files from my channel. If you have to make mp3 files for your recording, please contact me first(coloristhepiano@gmail.com). Thanks for your understanding.
And thank you so much, again, for supporting my channel.

Hello, wonderful subscribers! Sorry for not posting any recordings since last Thursday. Recent circumstances are making my work on this channel more difficult - it's a tough time for everyone - and I'm writing to ask for your advice on how to proceed.

It hasn't been easy setting up and maintaining this channel. I opened it to help musicians or anyone who wants to learn music, not for profit or my own benefit (I have no Youtube profits at this stage). I have many requests for pieces that I've never played before, and recording is not an easy job: I have to practice, record, and then do editing. I would like to play every piece musically with my interpretation, but instead I've tried to play strictly with less expression. Because everyone has different ideas and my recordings are not for use in final concert performance, I'm offering here the first steps in learning music. Because of this weird virus situation, some are going further and using my recordings for tests, competitions, or virtual recitals. But of course it would be counterproductive to insist that folks not do that; indeed, I'm happy to see these recordings become even more useful in this difficult situation.

Especially tough have been the negative comments from folks who give ultimatums, complain about quality, and generally seem to take the channel for granted. Maybe it's human nature for me to take the negative comments to heart just as strongly as the positive ones, and I am grateful to those of you who have been helpful and encouraging. But I'd like to ask your help as I try to decide: should I set up some kind of donation link, or disable the comments? But of course, I would like to communicate with you. Is there some other way of making this channel more healthy and helpful for both you and me?

Thank you.

Hello, wonderful subscribers! I got a suggestion yesterday. I want to do another poll to make my recording more helpful. Do you want me to raise the volume level of recording? I don't want to make the sound quality suffer by increasing distortion. Keep the volume or raise the volume?

Hello, wonderful subscribers! I hope everyone is doing well. I’d like to do another poll to ask your opinion. As you heard from my recording of the concerto, i omitted the long orchestra tutti part. So you don’t need to wait long until your next entrance or search for the next part. That was my idea. But I’d like to ask your opinion. Do you want me to record the whole orchestra tutti part, or cut it?

Dear wonderful subscribers! I hope you're all doing well! One of my friends taught me how to change video playback speed. Each video has a Settings icon (the wheel cog thing) and if you click it you can change the video speed. If you change the speed, the quality of sound isn't as good as at the normal speed. I want to take a quick poll about this issue. As you can see in my channel, I've given several different tempos for each piece. Do you think I should keep doing this, or is this now a waste of my time after you know how to change the speed? Please help me to figure this out. Thank you so much!

Dear Clarinetists! I hope you are doing well! As you might have seen in my post last week, 'CLARINET WEEK' will start tomorrow.

Let me explain again how this will go. Please go to my channel, choose the pieces you need that are not on my Clarinet playlist. Then give the names of the pieces, one title per comment bellow. If someone already indicated your piece, please push the like button so I can see which one is most requested. As you know, recording is very time consuming and I don't charge for this. So, please subscribe to my channel and use the like button to show your support. Please like and share this post with as many friends as possible!

Please be safe and positive!!
