Cathryn Li is once again the talk of the town after a live session gone wrong — although a number of viewers have expressed their empathy for her this time.
The Malaysian influencer, who also plays classical piano, was a guest on music producer Andy Chan's
Facebook live on Mar. 8, 2021.
However, the session that started out jovial ended poorly with 31-year-old Li throwing a tantrum and storming off camera, after viewers criticised her for playing poorly.
Impromptu jam with the hosts
The live session went smoothly enough until around the one-hour-47-minute mark, when Li was asked by the hosts to demonstrate her piano playing by jamming with them.
As Li did not have the advantage of rehearsing with the hosts beforehand, she was forced to improvise.
For context, a classical pianist is typically trained in instrumental technique, and not so much in improvisation.
Improvisation requires plenty of practice, as well as intimate knowledge of chords and chord progressions, among other things.
