Awesome progress! Hope you're doing well and are still enjoying the playing.

Getting the Fur Elise in 4 months is absolutely gargantuan in scope

Nice scales!

Lovely! I learned this as well. Was an enjoyable piece! 😊

I am not hearing pedal... but a great effort😊 the bar 21 run is good to practice clapping out the beat. 😊 I am currently learning this in my lessons and we clapped out the beats, then played as a straight arepegios for speed, then added the correct rhythm. Im still working on it.

Nice video and I recognize many pieces. The mozart sonata k545 is on my list to learn (already bought the Henle score) but at just 4 years learning it is beyond my ability. I learned a grade 5 piece called Elegy in Autumn by Arvids Zilinskis in my 2nd year without a teacher or other help - it was far from grade 5 skill and I only was able to learn it from good score reading skills (taught by teacher from day 1)...its just okay but I will return to it in years to come. I think learning from the score is of great value for performance directions and really understanding the structure of the piece.

Hi Thomas, thank you very much for sharing your progress, it is definitely amazing and insrpiring !! Would you like to share a bit of your study plan ? How was it like ? Thank you. -Best

I am on month 4 and still struggling to read music and move to different keys, I was only practising twice a week so putting more work in now.

Are you playing Fur Elise from the score? If so, when did you learn to read music, just four months ago ( from the time of the video? ) How did you learn to read music, online course? I see the video was made a year ago. Where are you at now? Have you tried Moonlight Sonata third movement? Have you considered making it a career and becoming a concert pianist? If you can progress that quickly you should find it easy to take grade 8 by now, then apply to go to a music academy, and start giving recitals. It seems a shame to waste a gift like that when you find it so easy. I would visit a teacher as soon as possible and ask them to assess your grade and let them guide you from there.

I got all my 8 grades before I was 16, piano and theory a long time ago, and I had a piano around from age 3. I’m very confused by these 1 year learning videos. Adults I know really struggle to learn to read music, and when they discover there’s a bass clef to read as well, they’re really defeated. Some even take time to understand where the notes are on the keyboard, and what they’re called, then relate that to what’s on the page in front of them. Then there’s the problem of fingering and not just playing with two fingers, knowing how to use correct fingering is another challenge. Yet most of these one year videos, seem to have already tackled all those things, so how long did it take to do that, before they decided to start timing the beginning of the one year?

I'm nearly 69, and started playing again at 62, with a 50 year gap. Can't believe you manged to get this good in one year, you must be extremely gifted.(or natural) As I'm not this good yet. Although it is harder as you get older, as you're hands/eyes/brain don't co-ordinate as well as when a person is young. So if you actually did get that good in a year good luck to you, I still play my piano on average 2 hours a day, and will continue so as long as I can, just love playing.

Sadly it’s fake 😂. But can’t blame someone who spent their life learning piano trying to make money from it.

Sounds really nice, and sorry for those who don't believe it -- it totaly is achievable with some hard work. You would benefit a lot from a teacher, to help you with technique and relaxation. Needless to say that Mozart K. 545 is above your level with just one year practice, but it was a nice attempt. I understand because i did just the same, playing pieces that where too hard when I was starting with the piano. Great work so far.

The guy played the hardest part of Fur Elise in four months!!! So much TALENT!!

Self-taught? Fur Elise and K.545 in one year? Insane progress! I'm a classical musician - those made me very very happy. Also nice subscriber count lmao

Great job. Certainly you have the skills -give an experienced teaching program to guide your obvious ability . excellent !😊

The thing about these progress videos is that they should delve more into background and how much practice time.

Congrats to you for coming back to the piano! I tackled The Entertainer, my favorite piece, but it was too advanced for me I never really went back. Maybe someday...

Wow this video is really stunning! can's guess how much you practiced and how much you love playing❤️ playing piano as a hobby takes so much effort I respect you!

well done! definitely felt a bump at Month 4. Thanks so much for sharing!

Wow this is amazing, I've been playing for a year also but I'm not progressing that fast. 🙂 Are these pieces in a book where did you get the sheet music? thanks

Good for you! I hope to do the same. Thanks for the tip on Pianoworld.

how long did it take you to feel you'd memorized the keys layout, to know them by touch, not sight, and have memorized all teh chords? I'm just starting NEW as an adult in my 50's and only been a couple weeks, having fun, but no easy task - I'm a quick study, so curious to how those showed up for you/

wow! how many hours a day were you practicing?

Good job mate

Bravo Thomas 🎉

Good work.

👏👏

If this is real and not one of a plethora of fake progression videos, two stand out moments are the ability to breeze through Für Elise after only 4 months like that (I've never seen anyone play this piece as well in such a short period) and then, at month 10 - having taken a two year break no less, he can rip through Mozarts Sonata 16 so completely effortlessly, and without sheet music. Quite extraordinary, and verging on the very hard to believe...but, benefit of the doubt n that. Well done.

this is amazing!!!! you improved so much from the last time i saw your vids! good luckk on your journey!

0:17 I've been playing ONE year starting AGAIN as an adult???? Total contradiction. I won't watch past the seventeen seconds as its lying straight off the bat

Your progress is too fast. I am 39 years old. I've been playing for 6 months. Your level is too far. I wish i am too!

Reading music in the second week 😆

so proud of u man, keep it up!!

Beautiful and so groovy man

nice

So talented

beautiful!

How lovely this was 🥰 Thanks for playing with so much emotion 😊

What was your approach? Did you use any apps to learn? I also want to learn but feel that the apps are quite expensive (Flowkey or SimplyPiano).

where did you find that lord of the rings piece? it sounds awesome!

So inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Can you please make a video about which tutorials you have followed ?

AMAZINNNGGGG!!!!!

Hi Thomas, I guess your daily practice time must have varied quite a bit during this time period, but if you could give a rough estimate, not counting your hiatus? That'd be very interesting!

You playing sounds beautiful. Congratulations. What series of books did you use to progress as you have.

wow. Good job. So what was your learning method? What were your learning matrials? keen to know.

impressive! for how long each day did you practice to attain these results?

I wish I was as good as you 😕 I started from scratch during lockdown.

I started off as an adult without a teacher. It's inspirational to see so many adults like yourself learning songs and enjoying music. In the video the piece that stands out is Beethoven "Fur Elise" which you included more than half the piece. The rest you only included up to 10 sec opening. You probably enjoy playing this piece more than others. A few years back I was at a party. At least half the people in the room took piano lessons. Some even passed conservatory levels. There was a keyboard in the room but nobody volunteered to play a song. Many people played for their teachers during lessons but are not comfortable performing in front of others or making recordings. I started making recordings early in the learning process. Not all the recordings sounded great but encouraged me to keep practicing. Keep up the good work...
