what would Tiffany do?

The reason I wanted the episode to be about memories was because a few days before, I was invited back to Juilliard after 4.5 years of not stepping inside that building. I needed to go back to accompany my volunteer at Together with Classical to his cello lesson to prepare for our fundraiser concert together. I had conflicting thoughts and emotions. I spent 12 years walking in and out of that building... It's not that anything terribly bad happened. It's more like memories of experiences that you have enjoyed in the past might not be the kind of experiences that you would enjoy now or have good positive feelings about anymore - purely because you've grown up.  Pianist Tiffany Poon analyzes and talks about her memories upon returning to Juilliard and reminisces about other childhood memories of growing up in New York.

Catching up... sometimes we feel behind, like we're not able to catch up to others or achieve what we think we should be able to do. Pianist Tiffany Poon recounts her recent experience with this feeling, while catching up with everyone what she's been doing behind the scenes.

How do you deal with nerves? How do you stay calm when performing? Pianist Tiffany Poon recounts how she felt about performing over the years from age 5 till now, confesses about mistakes in concerts and how she became less nervous and more confident, while answering audience's questions.

It's 2 days before her concert, but this 2nd episode has been on her mind for way too long to postpone to after the concert...So Tiffany Poon answers your questions on what she would do in your career dilemmas, on dealing with emotional music, learning Chopin Etudes and more. 

First episode! Of course, it's about starting new stuff... Starting from an overview of how Tiffany Poon learns a new piece of music as a pianist, your questions inspire her to talk about how she goes outside of her comfort zone to start new stuff, tips on facing insecurities when starting new journeys, and also... is anything really actually new?
