Top Comments of this video!! :3
One of the best things I learned in music school, to make your practice both funnier and more effective is:
Practice in the EXTREMES - extremely slowly, softly, strongly, romantically, etc. You'll find out so much about how to get new things out of the pieces. Also makes you so much more confident playing it!
It's a MASSIVE help!

Hey Charles. Iām 13, been playing for 10+ years, etc. Iāve been watching you since 2019 and I love your, whatever the plural of analysis, āises . Whatās cool is that my piano teacher is Dustin DeLuke! Apparently you two know each other! I was at a lesson 2 weeks ago, he asked me what I was listening to, I said Charles Cornell, and he said āhey I know him! We used to play around with solos together!ā I just thought that was a cool connection. š š

I'm not a full time musician (software engineer), and I haven't really practiced since I graduated from college (jazz minor). It's hard to find motivation since I don't really have a reason to improve. There's no professor grading me, no auditions to compete for, and I'm above the skill level for my gigs. I'm at a semi-pro level, so the stuff I should be working on is incredibly specific. Stuff like drop-2 inversions over Spain in every key.
I know I should practice, I just don't really have anything motivating me anymore. No intrinsic motivation either. I feel like I've "died" as a pianist because I'm happy with my skills.
I seriously dove into guitar last year, got a lot better at that, but I reached all of the goals I set and I haven't really found more. I'm also at a standstill there. I'm not even close to a pro level on guitar, but I just don't have a reason or intrinsic motivation to improve.
Making YouTube videos is practically the only thing I practice for, but that's just to learn for covers, not to learn new skills.
The question I end up asking myself each time I sit down to play is "why?" I don't really know anymore.

I started seriously learning in mid December 2023 and I've been practicing on average 3 to 4 hours a day, every day. I have improved so much! I love your videos! You've taught me so much about modes and more advanced music theory in general. I have a background in music starting in elementary school band going all the way through high school, but my instrument was trombone. I always wanted to learn piano. I took a few piano classes in college, but I'm really taking it seriously now. Brings me so much happiness

I'm NOT a musician, but what you described in this video applies to just about every field of work and honestly every aspect of life! I feel the exact same sense of being drained of my energy and saying "I don't have time" to do stuff (studying, reading scientific articles, but also socialising, playing sports...), whereas I would have the time, but I don't have the mental energy to tackle those activities. Your advice is sound in general and it's always nice to know I'm not the only one struggling with this, especially when from the outside other people seem to have it easier and have more success than me
