4 Years of Piano Progress / Adult Self-Taught (3000 Hours)

To be transparent, during these 4 years I have had around 15h of private lessons (mostly in the 1st half of 2023) and around 2985h self-taught. These were the pieces that I learned with sheet music and the guidance of a teacher:
Ludovico Einaudi - Indian Yellow
Beethoven - Pathétique Sonata (2nd Movement)
Händel - Minuet in G Minor (arr. Kempff)

"i've been playing piano for a month and i can already play moonlight sonata" Bro's moonlight sonata :
I bought a piano a month ago and it was the most frustrating and best thing I’ve ever done in my life 😄 Completed two music pieces and learning a third one at the moment. The thing is after hours and hours of everyday practice I start getting sick of the music I’m learning to play 😂 by the end I can’t even listen to it anymore 😆 Your progress is amazing and really inspires me not to give up and continue.
Haha nice, don't give up! Maybe just work on pieces that you really love! I get the same feeling when I'm not really into the piece haha
@@luisgraca Wish I could 😅 Music I’m really dreaming to play is just too difficult for me so far. Maybe in a few years time I’ll be able to pull off Interstellar or something 😂 Sweet dreams)))
This is incredible but how do I know where to start? Do you have any plan I could learned by?
Thanks! Check out my self-taught piano guide here - www.tinyurl.com/selftaughtpiano 👍🏼
Do you read music notes? I never took off as i just couldnt take the time to learn the notes. Which isnthr language for music
I do now, but not back then. Try to learn it 5-10min a day if you feel like it's tedious or you don't have a lot of time. There's a lot of great videos on how to get started. Here's one - ua-cam.com/video/5WffAfGOpEY/v-deo.htmlsi=IX5yAp5dhCNcG4vZ
@@luisgraca thankyou
1 year 9 months was a noticeable change in your playing.
Haha thanks! It was still quite sloppy though 😂
I am 38 yrs old and I am planning to learn piano. I do not know how to read notes but I played guitar since I was 18 yrs old (I stopped now because I lost my passion playing it). Is it too late for me to read notes? Should I just be learning by ear and just follow lessons from youtube? This is just me asking for opinion from guys that have experience playing the Piano already.
Never too late! It really depends on your goal, I don't think everyone needs to follow the same steps. Hans Zimmer doesn't read music and yet he's a phenomenal musician. Do you want to play by ear or do you want to read music?
@@luisgraca I think i would prefer playing by ear as I am not planning to become like a professional player. Just learning and to be good at it (play songs I want to play) would be the target
@@TechromPH check out these channels: Matthew Cawood and Piano Lesson by Warren They have good videos on how to play by ear
Hahahahaha When I used to play piano I also start to learn one hand by one by hand and then coordinate both hands to learn all the music keys Hahahaha Then I would take 2weeks to learn any famous this generation and the famous songs of American Singers Like Example To Say Interstellar by hans zimmer or Let Her Go Or Ed Sheeran Songs Or Cold Play All The Songs So I could learn it in 2 or 3weeks time and yes obviously practicing daily for 2hours And then Waalaa !!!!!!!!! I learned them !!!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha But now forgotten all Hahahaha As no time to play piano And I sold it too Hahahahahaha 😅😅😅😹😹😹😅😅😅
But Damn U really play super good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And u chose Classic Hahahaha And Like Famous Singers Songs Too Play Hahahahaha I'm Not Really Fan Of Classical But 1-2 Classical Music Is Good Too Hahahahaha 😇😅✌️😅😇
Haha thanks! I spent the last year playing film music only but now I'm getting back into classical. I did not enjoy it at first either, but I guess it just grows on you
@luisgraca OMMGG U Replied Me Hahahaha Even if I'm just randomly watching and comment thanks alot very much !!!!!!!! Hahahahaha then classical is your cup of tea then Hahahaha that's why it grown into u Hahahahaha I just love flims and famous singer music to play on Hahahahaha Good luck with your music then !!!!!!!! Create more videos that u can reach upto minilions over too !!!!!!!!!! Good luck to u and your UA-cam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Byee Take Care Hahahaha 😇😅✌️😅😇
When you first started learning pieces, was it from reading sheet music? Or UA-cam tutorials?
Just UA-cam tutorials in the beginning. I started reading music after uploading this video
Wow! This is incredible!
Thank you!
watched the 2.5year progress video of yours yesteday, and now I find THIS. Dude you are simply insanely dedicated and talented. You clearly love it. Never stop playing!
Thanks man, appreciate it! I do love it and I won't stop anytime soon 🤝🏼
You’ve inspired me to pick the piano back up again. Incredible progress and dedication 🎉
Let's go! Thanks and good luck 💪🏼
This is insane! The progress you pulled off in just 2.5 years is astonishing at least! Especially given that you had to balance with work, taxes bills and whatnot. I cannot even imagine what your 4 year progress is like (going to check the video right after!). From a fellow amateur pianist, simply congratulations on your massive progress! Your dedication is admirable!
Appreciate it! Yeah it took all my time for sure haha. The 4y is more focused on me trying my hand at piano arrangements, but hope you enjoyed that as well! Now I'm back to learning classical 🎼
i had the same i had a acoustic guitar because i loved the spanish sounds but it was very hard for me to learn the notes. so i stopped playing. now i have a keyboard i bought it yesterday and i love playing that. first day i was trying to learn Never meant to belong from the anime Bleach. i could catch up with the notes and i knew one day i will master that song completely.
Haha nice, glad you found it with the piano! Go for it, you definitely will master it 👊🏼
Simply took my breath away.
Haha thanks!
Bro you just played the first part of the songs. i hope thats not what you learned
The full pieces are on my channel, the video would be way too long haha
I took piano for years as a kid and now 26 I have been telling myself I will re teach myself. This is so inspiring.
Definitely go for it! 💪🏻
hey if you actually can play all of them back, you are going right way
Thanks! Thinking of relearning Fantaisie Impromptu again, but properly
Waw! Amazing progress in such a short period! You are inspiring! I play piano since I am 4 years old. Here is my progression over 7 years. Not so spectacular as your of course 🤪 ua-cam.com/video/IoQqAx4hzjM/v-deo.htmlsi=MaOYgxC-UaHXq1q7
Thanks, David! You made great progress too, keep going 💪🏼
same reason why i started playing, ludovico is amazing!
Ludovico has inspired millions haha, amazing 🧙🏻♂️
Kids need to appreciate music not video games
💯
Thank you for inspiration!! 😍 I'm an amateur pianist too. Your video gave me more energy for progress 🎹 i found it accidentally 😱 and i'm happy it happened!
Thank you! Glad it inspired you. Good luck 💪🏻
Hey bro, how did you master the left hand, because I can’t seem to get the placement right, I also have relatively small hands 😭
Hey bro, use a metronome and practice it at a slow speed. Don't increase the speed more than you can comfortably play at, increase a little every day until you can do it at the right tempo 👍🏼
Amazing !❤
Thanks 🙏🏼
is the ebook free ?
It will be around £5. The Self-Taught Piano Guide and Discord are free :)
ludovicio's music changed my life too. ❤
Incredible how many lives he has changed!
I wish I could find the Piano Medley on Spotify. It was beautiful. Great movie and soundtrack!
Thanks! Very underrated. It is on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/4nIveENbEPUFT3ew9x6J9p?si=jbxyrH0XTKOP8N-RR-EmWQ 😃
Una mattina is the song that made me to learn piano
Yes! Did you discover it through the movie Intouchables too?
@@luisgraca yeah! My favourite movie!
I am 2 days into learning and this is really inspiring. . Just got to him composing his own music, wow
Appreciate it! I'm glad it inspired you 🙏🏽
Hey, thank you for the videos. It was inspiring and I will definitely look into your videos again to select some pieces for practice. In my opinion even though it's practice that makes perfect, you are also incredibly talented. I attended music school as a kid for 7 years with hours of practice daily, but never really enjoyed it as I was forced into it by my mother and the pieces to learn were selected by old-school teachers, so I also did not like the music I played. Only boring classics, I almost never liked what I had to play with no right to select the music I like (maybe only a couple of exceptions). Hours of practice daily instead of spending time with my peers also made me kind of hate the piano, I also often had to skip classes at usual school and I am still lacking some science knowledge as at that time it was "more important" to study piano over usual school subjects. Once graduated the music school - never touched the piano since then. But now I am thinking that maybe all those years weren't for nothing and maybe I should start over again. This time, I can choose the amount of practice hours and most importantly, the music I want to play. Even though after so many years (15 years to be exact) I should learn everything from the very beginning, I believe I have an advantage and can master my skills quickly. I already chose the piano I am going to buy. Who knows, maybe one day I can become a talented composer? Once again, thank you for the motivation. Once I start practicing - I hope to find courage in myself to film my progress to motivate someone else. Best wishes!
Hey, Anastasia! Thanks for your comment, It makes me happy that you found the motivation to get back to playing the piano because of my videos 😃 It is a shame that many kids are forced to follow a strict practice regime and never really enjoy it. For sure it's liberating when you just play the pieces you truly enjoy. And of course because you love the pieces, you will put in more effort into learning them. But I'm sure that in those 7 years you developed some important techniques and music reading abilities, so it was definitely not a waste of time. And it's ok if you want to change style / genre in the future. It doesn't really matter as long as you're having fun / working towards your own goals. I started with Ludovico, then I wanted to play classical. Then I spent almost 1 year doing film music arrangements, and now I want to get back to classical haha. Whatever you play, just make sure it makes you happy. And definitely try composing some pieces! Good luck!
Спасибо что показал как играть педаль 👏 Я редко ставлю лайки 👍
My pleasure 🫡
6:30 OMG AS A PIANIST I DO THIS TOO
Gotta fake it till you make it 😂
@@luisgraca Lol
Very good achievement after beginning so late. If started sooner could have been good.
Thanks! The next best time to start is always today haha
hey! Are u self trained\practiced or used some teacher? are you learning by youtube ?
Hey, during these 2.5y I was entirely self-taught, just using UA-cam tutorials
2000 hours in 2.5 years, meanwhile ive got that much if not less in about 6 to 7 years ._.
Haha it's more about how you use those hours
I play piano since 4y and I always thought Fantaisie Impromptu impossible but I never tried too and this video says me that is possible, thank you 🥰
Yeah go for it. But try to learn it properly using the sheets if you can. A lot of info is lost if you just follow a UA-cam tutorial like I did 😂
i play guitar and i love piano you giving me energy to start piano thanks you :) <3 great skill keep going like this u going to shred in few year 😁😁(you already shred but i can't imagine 5 more year whit the same consistancy😁😁😁
Let's go 💪🏼 Thank you, haha let's see. I uploaded a 4y update if you haven't seen it. Now I feel like getting back to classical music, so let's see where I'll be in 5y haha 🎼
WOW!!! Question, did you learn by reading notes or with youtube videos?
Thanks! In the beginning I just learned with tutorials from UA-cam videos. It's not ideal but it worked for me at the time. I detailed all my journey here if you're interested - www.tinyurl.com/selftaughtpiano
Haha the guy at 1:18 left after the hard part was over
Fair 😂
This is fake. You are giving people false hopes
It's not fake. What's your argument?
It's wonderful! So do I think to start learning piano. It is my old dream🫠. Dear stranger, stay on your way. l wish you good luck❤ with love from Ukraine👋
Thank you! Definitely go for it! Good luck 💪🏼
What piano did you buy for your journey ?
The first one I bought was a Yamaha P45, but I think it's been discontinued. Roland fp10 or fp30 are good too. But the best thing would be to go to a piano shop and try them all, you might find something you like better 👍🏼
Inspiring! Keep up the great work
Thanks! Will do 🫡
How long did it take you to memorize the right hand and the left, and how long did it take you to combine them with the polyrhythms?
The full piece maybe 2 months The polyrhythm maybe 1 week Denis Zhdanov has a great video explaining polyrhythms
@@luisgraca thanks
self-taught all the time ?
During this period yes
@@luisgraca Amazing ! Congratulation !
@@francoisg9154 appreciate it 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Luis, you've made an amazing progress in such a shot time! If you ever need any advise shoot me a message. Peace!
Appreciate it!
You’ve made amazing progress. This is a stupid question but what program are you using to get the lights notes? And did that help you learn without sheet music?
Thanks! I use SeeMusic. In the beginning, I followed tutorials with falling notes just like this to learn the pieces I wanted to learn without sheet music, yes

Love it! 😍 I really relate to this, we have similar beginings with Einaudi and Yan tiersen, following classic music (Tony Ann has some really great and fun scores too (btw, you might love "the heart asks for pleasure" (from the movie), haven't seen you cover this (all those are in the "corny" department 😅) ) ) Let me just share where I went after that and where I'm at. After all that I started looking to some "pro" covers of music I love, it just felt good (those "epic" arrangements). Begining with Fear of the Dark (Iron Maiden), November Rain (Guns), The House of the Rising Sun, Riders on the storm, The hedwig theme (Harry potter) etc. You might have bumped into Musescore, this app really changed things for me. Anyway, your classical sheets and cinema covers have inspired me to get back into them. Now, for me, the ultimate skill might just be improvising and have the skill to accompany any song and understand rhythm and chord progression (I don't have any of those relative or absolute pitch and therefore it's really hard for me to hear something and understand how it translates to piano, it might be easier to understand music theory 😅). Anyway, you seem to have the dexterity and the consistency to do pretty much anything you set your mind to (like you said, 2 or 3 bars at a time, rinse and repeat!). Keep us posted, I'll be listening! 😏
Nice! Thanks 🙏🏼 Never heard of "the heart asks for pleasure" but I'll check it out. Isn't it so much faster when you just play the songs / pieces you like? Rock / metal sounds cool on the piano, I'm planning to arrange some of Rammstein's songs in the future. Btw check out Gamazda if you haven't, she's the best at playing that style on the piano. I only use Musescore to write sheet music haha, what else do you use it for? And yeah, that's also my goal and I'm nowhere near being able to just improvise on the spot or accompany any song, but I'll be working on that next year. So much stuff to work on! Thanks again 👊🏼
It's from the movie "The Piano", worth it 🙌 That was another thing I really related and wished I did in the begining. If you don't like a piece of music, don't be afraid of saying you don't like it and try to learn something similar. (also, don't be quick on saying you don't like, those "uninteresting" pieces sometimes give you lots of needed techniques, sometimes hearing covers or mashups can revive your interest). On that topic, that Yan Tiersen (Comptine d'un autre été) has a Large Version which is awesome to play (give it a listen! xD) Gamazda is awesome!! I started with Vkgoeswild, it's like Gamazda but less... Show off 😅 (Despite Gamazda style, she is really talented and the output is crazy, she has loads of great covers!). About musescore. I'm currently with a roland fp 30x, which I think compares to your Yamaha... P25(right?). Almost any cover I search it's there (in easy, medium or pro difficulty), I connect my phone to piano and lock in 2/3 bars in the music sheet at a time and repeat them until muscle memory kicks in. Also I can mess with tempo, pitch etc. That app led me to create 2 books with all the sheets I play or intend to play, having them printed into a book form also motivated me (I can share the indexes with you, since I really appreciated all your shared pieces 👌) I'm also nowhere near that level (improvising and riffing 😅), but having long term goals like that also serves as motivation 👌
Alright I have now listened to that piece from "The Piano". I feel like I had heard it before haha, it sounds like it could be a piece by Einaudi I have a Clavinova CLP-745 now, but it would work too. Yeah, feel free to share the indexes on instagram or discord!
Uau! I started doing piano classes and I'm inspired 😮 I'm definitely going to star practicing more often (and now just 1h a week lol). Congratulations!!! 🎉
Thanks! Yeah, try as much as you can per day, even if it's just 20min
