Love the deep section method. I'm a beginner in my late 70s . Improved since using this method. Been learning for one year. You are a wonderful teacher.
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I am almost 64 and blind. I have decided since we’ve had a digital piano for years because my son played, rather than sell it I was going to learn to play piano. Thanks to your videos I am learning :-) I have always loved the sound of the piano and wanted to learn for years. You’re never too old to learn :-) thank you so much!
I'm starting my piano learning as a adult absolute beginner . Your videos have been so helpful. I am currently searching for a good piano teacher to start my piano lessons but in the meantime I am self learning by viewing youtube videos. Thank you for sharing all the info !
I'm addicted! You are motivating and inspirational. I'm not a beginner, but am learning SO much from these videos. Have seriously started back at the piano after some years of just messing around with it and this is enormously helpful. Your approach is fabulous. Thankyou.
Jazer Lee, I am listening to this, in bed, in the middle of the Night. I think you eagerness to impart your learning and your enjoyment is quite marvellous. As a non-musician myself, at the start of the last decade of my life, it's a little late to start. But for two precious lassies of mine, aged 11 and 8, it certainly is not. So, a huge Thank You. If I may, I shall let you know how they get on.
I really enjoy watching and listening to your teaching methodology. I'm using a synthesizer set up as a grand piano and your videos are very helpful. My grandmother was a graduate from the Royal College of Music in London more than 100 years ago and to hear her play after she hadn't touched a keyboard for over 50 years was really inspirational. I guess piano is in the genes.
Thanks for a great year Jazer. I fell in love with the deep sections method and I even take it a small step further. I won't necessarily start at the beginning. I'll pick random points. I found that with pieces I was comfortable with, for example, I could play it all no problem but if you asked me to start on let's say measure 7, I would feel lost... Like I needed to play 1-6 first to play 7. Bouncing around with deep sections helped fix this. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us for 2022!
Thanks for the tip regarding songs that really help fingers to move, chords and so forth all five songs were and still are favorites especially.. My favorite the venetian boat song.
42:50 same reason why I start to practice piano in the morning. it's the first thing I do every morning. I tried practicing in evening but I could feel my progress/result isn't as better as practicing in morning. thanks a lot Jazer. I really enjoy and make use a lot from your video. cheers
wow, i didn't know you before today, what a discover, i do really love your work and your words and i start to see all your videos, man you are full of love and wisdom, thanks from heart.
Thanks so much for your lessons. I took lessons as a child for seven years. But I regret to say that I did not progress as I should have. Our family moved every two years. As a result, I had three different teachers. Now, I am learning to play the ukulele and find that my piano knowledge has helped. But I still want to improve my piano playing. I will use your techniques and methods to get me moving in that way.
Thank you so much for your teaching. I. start to practice piano after watching your video. I have been on and off on piano lessons in the last 45 years. I am very slow on reading I thank you to remind me on mindful slow practicing.
Hello Jazer! Thank you so much!!! I absolutely find your videos excellent and very very helpful. Thank you very much for your time and effort! You are really a great teacher! Lots of love, Yi Jing.
Great explanation. Very clear and helpful.. It is also very encouraging not to despair and lose confidence if you don't see immediate results. Thank you Mauro, Spoleto, Italy
I'm hardly a beginner, and I found some of my mistakes and bad habits included here. A practice session is not a performance. Slow practice. Got it. Thanks for the clear instruction. Subscribed.
5 classical piano pieces each teaching an essential piano technique. I like how this video progresses up to the sharps. Excellent instruction. Thank you very much!
The deep section method is making me feel a lot better about what I am working on now. I am learning how to play the bridge of Fur Elise, and find the fingering and rhythm combination of the first part quite difficult for some reason, I have been following this method without knowing it, and now that I know I am, I feel more confident.
That compilation of tips is really gold! I will make sure to write down each one of them because we all tend to drift away in our studies regardless of our level. Thanks for sharing that
I love this, I really am an absolute beginner and I have an aim to practice this 5. I am on Bach’s Prelude in C and Fur Elise now and will move on to Moonlight sonata. Thank you so much for reassuring the plan ;)
I just stumbled across your videos after hadn't played the piano for years now. Thank you so much for the input and inspiration. :) I will definitely start playing again today!
I am a beginner at the piano and from the sight reading tip you mentioned I have formed a good analogy that you were saying that we need to start looking at words instead of individual letters when I read a sentence in English. Like start to recognise patterns instead of single notes if that makes sense 😅.
Great tips! I am an adult beginner ( using online tools to learn) and I have learned the Bach and Satie over the last few weeks. Great pieces to almost sound like you can play! Thanks for the video
I love how you told us some pieces we can learn for practice. I usually just go into very difficult ones without much practice and wing the entire process until i learn without my technique being good.
The for making videos like this because I play piano and there is lots of tips from your videos that I started trying last week that makes me enjoy playing piano and makes me better at it
Hi Jazer, first of all Happy New Year! And thank you so much for your brilliant tutorials! If I got this right you mentioned 5 levels of left and right hand cooperation. I would love to hear more about this issue. Be well and warm regards from Berlin, Germany Rainer
Been doing the deep section method for a long time before I knew there was a name for it. I typically start with a line at a time; with more complicated pieces I need to really break it down to a bar at a time and including any leading note
Hello Jazer It's great watching your stuff about the Deep Sections method. My guitar teacher, when I was a teenager, did something very similar with me and I loved it. I work as a dyslexia and learning coach in Austria with kids, and I love thinking about the brain and learning. It makes me think - this is a way to get it from the cortex into the cerebellum! One idea I've come across recently (in a book called Moonwalking With Einstein by Joshua Foer) is the OK Plateau - basically, where you get to a level of being "OK" at something, but haven't really mastered it because you haven't got enough NEGATIVE feedback. It's like, with my German - my articles (der, die, das) are actually all over the place, but it's good enough to communicate and nobody really corrects me (which most of the time is a good thing). Recently, I started doing Grammar courses and suddenly, if I say the wrong article, it's like "OK, you gotta go back and do that one again." Basically, it got me off the OK plateau. The deep learning method you talk about, strikes me as having a similar effect. It forces you off the "It basically sounds good" level to the "Yes, but have I ACTUALLY mastered this?" level.
Oh, and by the way, I'm no longer playing guitar, but finally restarted piano - I messed around on synthesisers when I was younger, and my grandparents had a grand piano, which I loved noodling around on, but never took lessons.
I‘ve been working on the Chopin Prelude, too… and again, my left hand tends to take over. Then there are those couple of crazy large chords in the left hand later on in the piece. I always dread those two or three chords…
Thank you so much Jazer😄. I've just started learning the piano from online tutorials and you've taught me the most things so far. So far i can play an easy version of „Fly me to the moon“ from Frank Sinatra. It's just going so well because of your awesome tips and tricks. Thanks a lot👌🏼
Thank you so much for this tips!!! I started practicing with a midi keybnoard without a pedal, and now i need to learn when to use it xD. Other things i struggle with is posture, i dont know the correct one. I bought a Yamaha P45 recently as an upgrade of my old midi controller keyboard and i cant seem to find a comfortable position to practice, its driving me nuts
Nice video, thanks for sharing. It's 45 minutes of advise...and yes, repeat 7 times...my professor said 10 times.... but even 7 is already very good since we do it perfectly....not so easy.
i love how gymnopédie tells you to play it "lent et douloureux" (slow and painful[ly]). like what do you have to chop one of your fingers so it hurts while you play it?
Happy New Year Jazer. Yes I love your channel... Have you any tips for diminuendo and crescendo. I have been playing for about a year and half. I find you are very practical and often in my thoughts when I am practicing. Thanks so very much!!! BTW I purchased a soundbrenner 😊
17:48 - yes indeed. Practise it until you cannot stuff up. Practise it right-side-up, upside-down, inside-out, outside-in, in your mind, in your sleep, and able to resume from anywhere within that piece ---- knowing it so well that you play it 'perfectly' at best, and able to resume quickly from anywhere from any slight stumble - at worst.
Thank you very much for you teaching! I really appreciate your sharing🙏🙏. Can you please tell me where I can find these 5 pieces music sheets, the same version you used here for teaching? Many thanks in dance!
Hi Jazer! Thank you for your tips. I find them very useful. One question- How do I keep the pieces I have learned ‘fresh’? I find that ai learn a piece but if I dont play it for a few weeks, I feel like Im starting to learn it all over again. Im also enrolled in Pianote - and Im on my third year with them. I would like to think that Im in jntermediate level. I will appreciate your tips on my particular question.
Love your videos. Would you care to comment on the Duchess of Cambridge's piano accompaniment at the Christmas concert in Westminster on Christmas Eve? So much has been said about it, it would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much.
Super helpful, Jazer. As a beginner, can you help me with how to approach a new piece of music? I often get bogged down early, and cannot figure a way to proceed. Thanks for all your videos.
I would suggest taking time to read the sheet music first. Then look for the sections that would be a challenge and practice those first. Practice until you can't get them wrong then move on to the easy parts. String them up together and you will find that you're playing the whole piece with no sweat. Try this technique and let me know how it works for you.
Love the deep section method. I'm a beginner in my late 70s . Improved since using this method. Been learning for one year. You are a wonderful teacher.
Keep up with the work! I can't wait to see ya on the stage playing a beautiful melody ;)
Thumbs up to you, no matter what age, music is for everyone! 🙏🏼😊
This guy is the greatest! His Deep section method just makes plain sense. (I'm also in my late seventies.)
@@MichaelSmith-hs5iu I plan to pickup the piano again after 40 years break. I'm 67 now.
Awesome keep on trucking as they say
Learning piano again after a forty-year break. Your videos have been so helpful. Thank you!
Forty years? Wow! That's great that you started it back up again.
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I am almost 64 and blind. I have decided since we’ve had a digital piano for years because my son played, rather than sell it I was going to learn to play piano. Thanks to your videos I am learning :-) I have always loved the sound of the piano and wanted to learn for years. You’re never too old to learn :-) thank you so much!
Yes, you are the best teacher, i keep learning more and more from you.
I cant wait to hear from you!
This channel is so underrated!! Thank you for being a great teacher and being so knowledgeable and extremely talented.
is there that many higher rated piano channels on youtube? don't think so =D
I'm starting my piano learning as a adult absolute beginner . Your videos have been so helpful. I am currently searching for a good piano teacher to start my piano lessons but in the meantime I am self learning by viewing youtube videos. Thank you for sharing all the info !
Jazer, you are a wonderful teacher!
Awww... thank you Gina!
Thank u Jazer for making videos like these that make us understand piano easier.
Y
I'm addicted! You are motivating and inspirational. I'm not a beginner, but am learning SO much from these videos. Have seriously started back at the piano after some years of just messing around with it and this is enormously helpful. Your approach is fabulous. Thankyou.
the GOAT of teaching the piano, i love your explanations
Great to be reminded of these tips again! Yes, practice slow and separate hands first. New mantra.
Thank you, Jazer, happy new year!
Deep Sections practice - what a great idea!

I am familiar with all the pieces you played, I can't wait to play them all!
I really enjoy watching and listening to your teaching methodology. I'm using a synthesizer set up as a grand piano and your videos are very helpful.

I will definitely start playing again today!
That's so cool. Remember, take it slow and remember to practice until you can't it wrong. 🤓
This channel rocks! Would love a video about what are the first songs you should try to learn as a total begginer
I am a beginner at the piano and from the sight reading tip you mentioned I have formed a good analogy that you were saying that we need to start looking at words instead of individual letters when I read a sentence in English. Like start to recognise patterns instead of single notes if that makes sense 😅.
Number 2 is also my favorite. I hope one day I’ll be able to play that. I just started taking piano lessons last September (2022).
Nice 44min vidéo I love it much love Bruce Lee pianiste 😂💙💙💙
Nice to have combination of tutorials.. Great👍
Glad you liked it
Wow!....this was the best video ever!.....hope u have a good day!

Keep helping with your skills and well advice. GOD BLESS
Great tips! I am an adult beginner ( using online tools to learn) and I have learned the Bach and Satie over the last few weeks. Great pieces to almost sound like you can play! Thanks for the video
Same here.
I enjoyed this compilation of lessons and tips. I plan to incorporate the deep method into my practice. Thanks!!
Your advice is so logical I will use your tips. Just started playing this week so I'm new to the game.... thank you so much.
As always very good I learn so much from your videos thank you so much.

Thanks for your well explained and perfectly demonstrated lessons really helpful,God bless and prosper your future
I am 45 years old and my dream is to play one of them by March for my 46-year-old birthday 💗. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
You can do it!
Very good tips

More instruction on henleft hand please. Please b keep explaining the fingerings left hand sounds awesome

Can I play using pedal for Bach Prelude in C major?
How about adding the 2nd movement to the Bach/Marcello Concerto in d minor, 2nd movement?
Hi Jazer! Thank you for your tips. I find them very useful.
One question- How do I keep the pieces I have learned ‘fresh’? I find that ai learn a piece but if I dont play it for a few weeks, I feel like Im starting to learn it all over again.
Im also enrolled in Pianote - and Im on my third year with them. I would like to think that Im in jntermediate level.
I will appreciate your tips on my particular question.
I played moonlight sonata over fifty times a week just the first page. This year I can finally complete it. First page is at 200% ✓
Good job!
Love your videos. Would you care to comment on the Duchess of Cambridge's piano accompaniment at the Christmas concert in Westminster on Christmas Eve? So much has been said about it, it would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much.
What is the piece being played during the always practicing hands together section? Sorry piano noob but would love to look into that piece
Two of your pieces were familiar. What are the names of them? Love the forest app concept. Great!
Ilove your content
Super helpful, Jazer. As a beginner, can you help me with how to approach a new piece of music? I often get bogged down early, and cannot figure a way to proceed. Thanks for all your videos.

Can you pleaseeeee make a video on how to read sheet music?
what song is playing in the end of all of your videos (outros)? Sounds really nice!
