Wow!!! I never thought I'd be able to read sheet music, and now im playing a little tune from it!! You're a blessing Bill. I can't wait to keep doing the following lessons.
I can't thank you enough Mr. Hilton. My wife and i acquired a keyboard about a year ago, both wanting to learn to play an instrument before our first child. we recently discovered that we're now expecting a child later this year. Therefore i sat down, determined to learn the Piano, early January. I tried some APP my wifes been practicing with. Its not compatible with the way in which I lear. Instead i started looking through youtube. I Quickly found a tutorial of Nuvole Bianche and decided to learn that. But ofc, learning an entire song, somewhat complicated, when you've never played the piano before, has its ups and downs. 40 days into learning this song, and i am now able to play it, albeit at a slower pace than intended, but still practicing ofc. If learning the piano is building a great castle, then I've cast the foundation of a single tower, proceeded to build this tower. This tower is now getting somewhat high and beautiful, but its standing by itself. 10-15 days ago, I started spending more time on the foundation for the rest of the castle, while still building a bit on my tower every day. This is where your videos entered the picture. This video series of tutorials are perfect. They make the process of building the foundation enjoyable. Going head first at learning something like Nuvole Bianche is awesome because then you can then play a beautiful song. But backtracking, having to deal with all this simple, slow and "boring" stuff, then takes its toll. these videos have created much needed structure in my piano journey.
I've been playing for an hour a day since the lockdown 3 weeks back. My progress is slow as I still find Lesson 2 very hard, but it's still a blast. You rock Bill, thanks for these amazing tutorials
No problem at all, Nimaz - glad to hear they're keeping you occupied! Progress is always going to be slow: the secret is just to keep going, and keep chipping away at it!
You’re really welcome! Obviously the physical techniques are very different between piano and guitar, but you’ll still find lots of points of overlap. Good luck, and let me know how you get on!
I started to learn at the age of 19 at the present which might be too late to learn as I think. I started cause I wanna be a good music composer and music producer and I try to make beats on DAW. I am learning for 1 hour every day even though it is tough sometimes. And Thank you so much, sir Bill Hilton 👑
You’re welcome! 19 is absolutely not too late to start - in fact, thinking about the goals you have, it’s a really good age: you’ve still got the quickness of youth but also the maturity to stick at it. Regarding practice, an hour a day is great, but if it proves hard and you need to cut down, try to reduce the daily time but still do some practice every day, or at least six days a week. It’s the regularity that matters at this stage, not the raw amount. Also, at the high level of practice you’re doing now watch out for overuse/repetitive strain injuries. If you have the slightest discomfort, ease off - stick to the daily practice but cut the time. Also remember progress will come unsteadily - you might practise for weeks and feel you’re getting nowhere, but then suddenly it will come. The people who succeed are those who don’t give up! Good luck, and let me know if you run into any problems!
That is fantastic to hear - I hope they continue to help! Things get a little more challenging in the next few lessons, so make sure you have the basics nailed down and give me a shout if you have any questions or run into problems. Good luck!
These lessons are truly excellent. I have tried a few times before to learn to play piano, but this time I feel I am making good and steady progress because of your very clear teaching method. I'm so glad I came across your channel! Thank you Bill for the effort you've put into this! 👏👏👏
Bill, my husband gave me a keyboard for Christmas and it arrived early. So of course it got unpacked early and I've been using your lessons since Dec. 11, 2021. Thank you so much. You are a great teacher! I'm making great progress and cleaning out the cobwebs from learning to read music to piano 50 years ago. This is a lot of fun! Your explanations are thorough, clear and encouragingly achievable. I really appreciate learning the British and American terms too because crochet was the answer to one of my crossword clues.
Finally starting to make real progress in the past month since I’ve found these tutorials! I’m not sure if it’s bad that I can’t read the music and play at once, I rather have to read sections, memorize them on the piano then do the next section. But you have helped me read music now instead of just trying to play hit songs off UA-cam videos! Thank you so much!!
i couldnt afford a piano teacher but i do have a piano. And im glad i stumbled upon your channel, it is simple and short for my simple brain to understand🥲. The way you explain makes me understand faster yknow. Thank you, Bill!!🌼💗
You make my dreams come true. I once had piano lessons, but teacher was terrible. I didn’t know what he wanted from me and I abandoned it, but now I’m learning it myself on my pace because of your lessons. Thank you very much!
bill I listen to how songs are ending finding that note for the beginning and then knowing where the note will end, at the end of the song, the piano is mathematically correct so if you are playing by ear, like me then you find where the note begins and ends .... but wait!!! there are more in between the beginning and the ending which come together to change or make up the melody of any piece of music. this is my first time understanding this, and once I did it was for me like learning to snap my fingers for the very first time, the surprise of knowing where to land that note in any piece really builds me up ...as I said I play by hearing reading note or sheet music will take time but thank you for making it understandable for me because that will be the first step ...and playing with my left hand slowly but surely it will become like snapping my fingers for the very for time !!!

Im 20 and im make music. My parents had put me for piano lessons when I was 8 but I didn't care so I stoped in the 1st week and I low key regret it but everything happens for a reason. I want to become a better musician and plus it's just cool to know how to play an instrument and piano is my fav. Even tho I am having a hard time with it I pray that I learn it one day, my goal is to be good at it max at 22 wish me good luck thanks
Good luck! You're still young, so if you go at it with a lot of determination you should make big improvements in a couple of years. Trick is to practise very regularly - every day if you can. Not necessarily loads and loads: half an hour a day at this stage is fine. It's the regularity and commitment that make it work!
I am already classically trained in reading sheet music and knowing the notes but your lessons are still really helpful lesson 5 and it's my first week learning feeling good
This is awesome! I've been practicing only about 30 mins a day the last week and I'm amazed at how simple and easy the first few lessons have been! I can reliably find what note I'm on and am doing pretty solid on my left and right hand CMaj scales together. Still struggling a bit reading the sheet music to find notes but I'm getting there. Playing left and right hand simultaneously is very difficult even with such an easy piece but It's getting better. Doing the CMaj scale drills over and over has made it a lot easier.
Glad to hear it's working out for you, Tyler! Keep going, and be prepared for a jump in the challenge level around lesson 9 or 10. The way to deal with that is to have the skills and lessons from the first few tutorials really locked down and thoroughly practised - people who come seriously unstuck at that stage have usually sped through the course a little too quickly! Let me know how you get on!
@@BillHilton Thanks for the tip! I work and go to school so trying to find time to practice has been hard, and I only end up getting maybe 10-20 mins any time I can sit down and play so I have to be really focused and diligent about what I'm doing. In a way its made it somewhat easier, but I'm going into Christmas break now from school so I'm excited to be able to get more time to play.
You're welcome, Dylan - glad they're helping! Let me know how you get on with the rest of the course, and give me a shout if you get stuck on anything. You might find things get a little trickier from lesson 8 or 9: the way to get past that is to make sure you have the stuff from these early tutorials really nailed down and automatic. Good luck!
Hi bill i have just started learning this lesson, going from what you recommended, i will give my self about 20 mins to 30mins practice every day, ( if i can) which will include scales, in between pieces.
That would be about ideal, I'd say - regularity is more important than sheer time, so if you can manage every single day (or at least six days a week) that will really help. Good luck, and let me know if you need any help!
I love your approach to the lesson. You make things sound easy and very clear to understand. Thanks a lot. You're enhancing my knowledge of teaching reading music.
Hi Bill' I started a few weeks ago at the start of the lock down from nothing on an old keyboard with some old books. I then found your tutorials and wow have they made a difference. I am just about playing lesson 5 without volume changes as my keyboard touch sensitivity is a bit all or nothing. I find I can play either melody line or the bass clef line easily, but when I go 2 hands my fingers don't behave themselves. Thank you soon be looking at lesson 6. Steve
No problem Steve - hope they're still working for you! The hands together thing is something everyone has to go through: it really is a question of brute forcing it, just pushing on through, taking things very slowly if necessary, until your brain makes the connections it needs. It WILL work - it just takes time!
Hi, I asked you last week if you had any material for beginners on another video. You sent me here and I wanted to thank you again, your course is nice and easy to follow. Cheers :)
such a useful tutorial, im sure ill be glad to learn this skill, im interested in those courses you have on patreon, ill def be checking them out. One question tho, how do you play notes softly and hard? my piano has a total of 61 keys long, not sure if that changes anything but when i try to play softly vs hard by hitting the keys in different ways, i dont hear the difference. do i have to change something? also i like to add that im playing it connected to my headphone by aux.
I took a few weeks break for some other things, and forgot the finger roll from middle to thumb... Really stumped up the right hand for a while. That'll teach me... or will it? Now, I am back to the lessons! Thanks, again, Bill (:>)
OK, thanks for that, as well as the lessons. I feel I can't go any further just yet, as am not quick enough on reading the music. If you have anything on getting me through that, it would be appreciated. In general, how long should it take a 60ish guy to get through the first 10 lessons from scratch. I know it depends on practice but.... Cheers
It's going to vary, and, as you say, it absolutely depends on practice. The basic principle is that, as a 60-year-old bloke, you can learn anything your 10-year-old self could, but it's going to take longer because your brain is less "plastic" (as the neuroscientists say) than it was when you were 10. In other words, it changes and adapts just as surely, but slower. Working on that principle, and assuming half an hour's practice per day, it would probably take 10-year-old Alan a week per lesson. 60-year-old Alan is going to be something more like two weeks per lesson - i.e., around 70 hours rather than 35. The important thing is to spread the practice out, too: half an hour per day (maybe split into two 15 minute slots on some days) over 20 weeks is going to be a *lot* more effective than 2.5 hours per day for a month. Bear in mind the figures vary for different people, and, in common with things like reading speed, it's unconnected to brainpower or underlying musicality. You as an individual might need anything between 50 and 100 hours to get to that level (but then the next stage of learning might be faster or slower...). Does that all make some sort of sense?
Hello Mr Hilton first I wanna thank you for your help and as I am very new at this I found it a kinda hard but it's not impossible to learn BUT I feel that I am very slow is this ok? About 3 weeks in five lessons and still need to work on them 😓
Glad you you like the series, Dania! Don't worry about your progress: three weeks for five lessons is actually GOOD, and you have nothing to worry about - in fact, you're getting into the sort of territory where you need to be careful you don't get ahead of yourself. By the way, I'm making a tutorial that address exactly this "how fast should I progress" question (and some others about practice) right now, and it should go live later this week, so keep an eye out for it!
Thanks Bill. I’m really learning from this series. Unfortunately I have a keyboard doesn’t have dynamics control. So it doesn’t really matter how hard I press the keys. Do you think I might have to buy a digital piano in the end?
You're welcome - glad to hear it's helping! Yes, I'd say ultimately you're going to need a "real" piano (acoustic or digital) if you want to learn the full range of piano skills. They don't have to cost a fortune: second hand digitals can be pretty cheap on your local eBay or equivalent. That said, you can still learn a lot of the basics with a simple keyboard for now. Another option you could look into is finding out if an institution near you has a piano they might let you practise on - a school or college, for example.
Hi Jayden - sorry for the delayed reply to this! Short answer: not easily. However, it's not a deal-breaker: just use the keyboard you have to practise other aspects, and try at least to vary your touch depending on the dynamic. If possible, try to grab at least a few practice sessions on a touch-sensitive keyboard or a real piano, just to get a sense of dynamic playing sounds like. Ultimately, aim to get a digital piano/piano that is fully touch sensitive. But don't worry if that's not possible for you just yet: I know lots of people who have made great progress with limited equipment!
Thank you for the effort,Sir bill.But I am finding it difficult to apply the new things (forte,soft, crescendo, diminuendo), how do I do this on the same keyboard.once again thank you sir

Hey Bill, just bought an FP-30X and have been following along. One thing that's missing from these videos (and I suspect may even be intentional!) is how long to spend on these pieces and how proficent we should try to get. I found I was able to read through the piece and play through it slowly within 20 minutes but it's probably going to take at least a few hours of practice to get this down pat with everything tuned and locked in (especially the dynamics!). I'm not looking at my fingers as I wish to use the sight reading as a reminder. I've already spent a couple hours dialing it in (over 3 days) Is this a waste? Or should we expect to spend this amount of time at the beginning to help us build the skills? Should we spend many hours on this?
Hey Vaughan! Great choice of piano, for starters - the FP-30s are superb. And yes, my major regret about this series is that I didn't give guidance on times. This has proved to be a problem, as people have raced through the easier stuff at the beginning and not got it to a decent standard, which means they haven't had the foundations for later lessons, which means they've run into problems. I've spent a LOT of time over the past five years saying "slow down!" to people. I would say your approach definitely isn't a waste of time: in fact it's definitely the right one. Ideally you should have most stuff pretty well locked in before moving to the next tutorial (though it doesn't have to be perfect; I fully expect people to continue working on earlier pieces as they move through later tutorials. As a very rough guideline, I think working through the full series is probably 6-8 months work, assuming pretty diligent practice on something like six days a week. If I think about people I know have completed the whole thing, the median is probably around 8 months, though many have taken more than a year (which is fine). Something like 1-3 weeks per lesson, starting at the low end of that range and getting up towards the high end of it for the later tutorials. Does that help?
Thanks Bill for the fantastic answer! I'm not really in a rush, so I'll take my time and spend on the higher end if needed. Looking forward to the point where I can buy some books from you and be able to actually play them :)
Hey, I'm a social worker from India, I have been teaching piano lessons to the Slum children through your notes and lessons. but the PDF Notes page is not working now, means the page is getting opened. could you be able to solve this?
Sorry to hear this! I've just checked the page and it all seems to be working for me, however I know that occasionally it becomes unavailable to some people, for reasons I've never been able to figure out. Anyway, please do drop me a message via www.billspianopages.com/contact (or, if that isn't working, let me know your email address so I can contact you) and I'll send you all the PDFs as a single document. (Likewise for anyone else reading who is having the same problem). I'm very glad to hear my stuff is helping with your excellent work, by the way: I'd be interested to hear more!
Is this a common thing? It takes me so much effort to even begin comprehending the second piece, but on some previous occasions i was trying to learn to play a song i really like and altho i didn't learn it that much, it went a lot better despite being a lot harder. Does it have to do something with the fact that i know very well how it should sound already?
It really varies - most commercial editions of piano music will include fingerings, added either by an editor or by the composer him- or herself. The two exceptions are (1) "urtext" editions that reproduce as closely as possible what the composer actually wrote in the score - often those don't contain fingerings, or only contain them patchily, especially if they're for relatively early music; (2) cheap piano arrangements of pop songs, which are often really hard to finger in any case. However, if you walk into a music store and buy music that's actually been written for piano and comes from a reputable publisher (ABRSM, Dover, Bärenreiter, Breitkopf and Härtel, Faber and quite a few others) they'll almost always have fingerings.
Thanks always for your great vids! I've just got your cocktail piano book and got a question. In Things to read section you're recommending some great composers like Rodgers, Gershwin and others which of course i adore as well. I'm just wondering if you can recommend any particular songbook to play on? I would really like to get something not so difficult and to study some form or structure of how to play those classic tunes.
First, when do you plan to have vid #6 in this series, and do you have any other videos that would be good for beginners besides what is in this series? Thanks.
I've been learning piano on my keyboard and there's one thing I cannot comprehend in this lesson.When you say play softer in the mp do you mean physically aply less strength?Because no matter what I do with my keyboard the note sounds the same unless I turn down the volume but of course I can't do that while playing
Yes, to play softer you would apply less pressure on the key, and in consequence get a quieter sound. It sounds like your keyboard isn’t touch-sensitive, so you won’t be able to vary the dynamics (Lois’s and softs) by touch at this stage. Not to worry, though - work with what you’ve got for now and put it on your to-do list to have a go on a real piano or a touch sensitive digital piano or keyboard when you can.
It's going to really depend on the keyboard, Alan - some that call themselves "touch sensitive" are actually pretty insensitive! What make and model do you have?
Hello Bill, I hope you and your family are doing well in these arduous times. The loudness can't be controlled in my touch-sensitive keyboard. How do I practice crescendos and diminuendos there?
Not bad, thanks - hope you and yours are, too! The short answer is "that's difficult"! One thing you could try is tabletop practice: literally just try dim and cresc passages on the edge of a table rather than on any kind of keyboard. It can be surprisingly effective - just make a point of imagining or singing the notes as you play!
Hi Bill, I have a question - can I practice if I have cheap keyboard with no "louder" or "quieter" keys "options"? I have no money to buy more advanced one and I'm kinda not sure.
I always say "work with what you've got!" - yes, you can certainly learn a lot with a basic keyboard like that. What I would do is practise and practise and practise basic stuff like music reading, note recognition and playing skills and then when one day you *do* get access to a proper piano/digital piano, you'll have a really good basis to work from. I've heard from people who have literally started learning on a keyboard drawn on a piece of paper and gone on to do well, so if that's possible then you're in a relatively good position. Do try to get access to a real piano soon, though (don't overlook the possibility of public pianos for practice: often libraries/community centres/colleges/other institutions have them, and will let you play if you ask nicely!). Good luck!
Hmmmm, not at the moment, but I might include something on beefing up your reading skills in one of the upcoming beginners tutorials. OR I suppose it could be a good one for a standalone tutorial. Leave it with me...
I am brand new to the piano and I'm having some difficulties reading music and playing it at the same time. I know where every note is on the piano and I know how to read music in the sense of which note is where, but every time that there is a big jump from one note to the next I have to look down and take a second to realize where my fingers are positioned, where the next note is, and then move my hand accordingly. I'm assuming that this isn't the best way because it'd be very hard to keep a consistent pace and not pause. Do you have any tips or exercises to get better at this. Shouldn't it eventually be like typing on a keyboard?
Sorry for the delayed reply on this one! I wouldn’t worry too much: the kind of problems you’re describing affect most pianists at most levels: even now, nearly forty years after first having lessons, I experience the exact same problems (albeit with trickier music than you’re dealing with here, but that’s just because I’ve been working at it for longer). Very, very few pianists ever get to a level of reading competence where it ceases to be a problem. It’s kind of like typing, but with many more variables to control (timing, expression, exactly how hard you’re hitting the keys etc) and many more things to think about while you’re doing it. So don’t beat yourself up if you’re finding it tough. Just keep plugging away, and give me a shout if you ever have questions or need guidance (I always reply eventually!)
Bill I noticed that your on sound cloud how does it work.. is there any cost. I enjoyed some your work there. I would like to start posting some original work. Also can you do covers. I am totally ignorant of the site. I read the rules but I didn't know if you could covers of popular songs etc. Thanks.
I think it's like most things - free version and paid version. I only use the free version, and it suits me fine. Re: covers, I would guess it's similar to UA-cam, in that copyright is an issue but that lots of fair use rules apply. Obvs I'm not a lawyer, but I would guess that on the face of it anything that's OK on UA-cam is probably OK on Soundcloud.
This song broke me, I tried to learn it at 11:00 o clock, tried it in the morning and it was much easier, this is either a cautionary tale or it show that I’m just an idiot
You’re definitely not an idiot! Remember this stuff takes time and practice - it’s much more like training in the gym (it takes time for a muscle to grow…) than like learning a list of something. Good luck, and give me a shout if you need any help with anything specific!
Morning! You're going to have to remind me of the context, as it's a while since I made this - what kind of app was I talking about? A metronome or something?
OK - now, the F50 is one of the best keyboards in its range, but it doesn't have touch response (i.e., the sound isn't going to get louder or softer depending on how hard you hit the keys). It's going to be handy for learning theory and the very basics, but once you want to start moving on and learning advanced beginner and intermediate piano skills it'll be time to stick in on eBay and get something that does have touch response (and, ideally, 88 keys). Does that make sense?
@@BillHilton I was having the same question. Unfortunately the keyboard I own is not touch sensitive either. Any tips on buying a (used) keyboard? Great lessons by the way!
It's Sibelius, Juergen, after the composer. It's the industry standard software, but not the cheapest notation package out there. If you're new to notation software, maybe try out MuseScore or one of the other free application packages first to get a feel for them :)
Bill Hilton thank you verry much. It's verry kindly to get so fast an answer. I will have a look on the software. ps: you are playing more than well piano, thank you for all videos. kindly regards juergen
What kind of keyboard do you have, Priyanka? Like Doomranger says, on a real piano or a touch-sensitive keyboard you should be able to change the volume of individual notes by pressing harder or softer on them. If that doesn't work, your keyboard may not be touch-sensitive (or touch-sensitivity might be turned off). If that's the case, don't worry: you can still make progress, but as soon as you get the chance to upgrade to a touch-sensitive keyboard or, even better, a proper digital piano, take it!
@@priyankasinghpanwar6925 I'm pretty sure the e263 isn't touch-sensitive! When you can, upgrade to something that is (ideally with a sustain pedal, too, because they get important later on!)
That isn't a problem! If sol-fa is what you've been taught previously, it is inevitable that it will come out when you learn. Keep working on the course, and don't worry about it! If you have any other problems I can help with, just ask!
Wow!!! I never thought I'd be able to read sheet music, and now im playing a little tune from it!! You're a blessing Bill. I can't wait to keep doing the following lessons.
You're welcome! Let me know how you get on with the rest of the course, and also if you have any questions/need help at any stage!
same here!!
What a gift these lessons are! I’m so glad I found them!
I can't thank you enough Mr. Hilton.
My wife and i acquired a keyboard about a year ago, both wanting to learn to play an instrument before our first child.
we recently discovered that we're now expecting a child later this year.
Therefore i sat down, determined to learn the Piano, early January.
I tried some APP my wifes been practicing with. Its not compatible with the way in which I lear.
Instead i started looking through youtube. I Quickly found a tutorial of Nuvole Bianche and decided to learn that.
But ofc, learning an entire song, somewhat complicated, when you've never played the piano before, has its ups and downs.
40 days into learning this song, and i am now able to play it, albeit at a slower pace than intended, but still practicing ofc.
If learning the piano is building a great castle, then I've cast the foundation of a single tower, proceeded to build this tower.
This tower is now getting somewhat high and beautiful, but its standing by itself. 10-15 days ago, I started spending more time on the foundation for the rest of the castle, while still building a bit on my tower every day. This is where your videos entered the picture.
This video series of tutorials are perfect.
They make the process of building the foundation enjoyable. Going head first at learning something like Nuvole Bianche is awesome because then you can then play a beautiful song.
But backtracking, having to deal with all this simple, slow and "boring" stuff, then takes its toll. these videos have created much needed structure in my piano journey.
I've been playing for an hour a day since the lockdown 3 weeks back. My progress is slow as I still find Lesson 2 very hard, but it's still a blast. You rock Bill, thanks for these amazing tutorials
No problem at all, Nimaz - glad to hear they're keeping you occupied! Progress is always going to be slow: the secret is just to keep going, and keep chipping away at it!
Lockdown was 3 years ago..?
As an acoustic guitarist who wants to learn piano/keyboard, you are perfect! Thank you for helping me to begin this journey
You’re really welcome! Obviously the physical techniques are very different between piano and guitar, but you’ll still find lots of points of overlap. Good luck, and let me know how you get on!
I started to learn at the age of 19 at the present which might be too late to learn as I think. I started cause I wanna be a good music composer and music producer and I try to make beats on DAW. I am learning for 1 hour every day even though it is tough sometimes. And Thank you so much, sir Bill Hilton 👑
You’re welcome! 19 is absolutely not too late to start - in fact, thinking about the goals you have, it’s a really good age: you’ve still got the quickness of youth but also the maturity to stick at it. Regarding practice, an hour a day is great, but if it proves hard and you need to cut down, try to reduce the daily time but still do some practice every day, or at least six days a week. It’s the regularity that matters at this stage, not the raw amount. Also, at the high level of practice you’re doing now watch out for overuse/repetitive strain injuries. If you have the slightest discomfort, ease off - stick to the daily practice but cut the time. Also remember progress will come unsteadily - you might practise for weeks and feel you’re getting nowhere, but then suddenly it will come. The people who succeed are those who don’t give up! Good luck, and let me know if you run into any problems!
Somehow, you're helping me recovering from a heartbreak. The tutorials are helping a lot to have something that make me happy to do and learn, thanks
That is fantastic to hear - I hope they continue to help! Things get a little more challenging in the next few lessons, so make sure you have the basics nailed down and give me a shout if you have any questions or run into problems. Good luck!
your the best piano teacher ever!!!!!!!
These lessons are truly excellent. I have tried a few times before to learn to play piano, but this time I feel I am making good and steady progress because of your very clear teaching method. I'm so glad I came across your channel! Thank you Bill for the effort you've put into this! 👏👏👏
You're extremely welcome, Ron - let me know how you get on with the rest of the course!
ngl, you're such a great teacher, Bill. Greetings from Burma !
Thank you very much - greetings from North Yorkshire!
Thanks Bill for this amazing course. I am learning by my own through your videos. They have helped me significantly!
You're really welcome, Debora - glad they have helped, and I hope they continue to do so!
Good lessons for complete learning to play and read music. Thanks Bill.
Bill, my husband gave me a keyboard for Christmas and it arrived early. So of course it got unpacked early and I've been using your lessons since Dec. 11, 2021. Thank you so much. You are a great teacher! I'm making great progress and cleaning out the cobwebs from learning to read music to piano 50 years ago. This is a lot of fun! Your explanations are thorough, clear and encouragingly achievable. I really appreciate learning the British and American terms too because crochet was the answer to one of my crossword clues.
You're welcome - good luck with the learning, let me know how you get on, and feel free to give me a shout with any questions!
Finally starting to make real progress in the past month since I’ve found these tutorials! I’m not sure if it’s bad that I can’t read the music and play at once, I rather have to read sections, memorize them on the piano then do the next section. But you have helped me read music now instead of just trying to play hit songs off UA-cam videos! Thank you so much!!
Your lessons are so cool! I never tried piano before, but now I’m even able to play a full song after your tutorials
Thank you, and good to hear - good luck with the rest of the course!
I actually managed to make out the notes and play a piece of music for the first time ever!!!!
Thank you so much Bill!!!😆😆
You're welcome, Chris - glad it helped, and good luck with the rest of the series!
i couldnt afford a piano teacher but i do have a piano. And im glad i stumbled upon your channel, it is simple and short for my simple brain to understand🥲. The way you explain makes me understand faster yknow. Thank you, Bill!!🌼💗
You make my dreams come true. I once had piano lessons, but teacher was terrible. I didn’t know what he wanted from me and I abandoned it, but now I’m learning it myself on my pace because of your lessons. Thank you very much!
Really glad you like them, Katarzyna - give me a yell if you have any questions/problems!
bill I listen to how songs are ending finding that note for the beginning and then knowing where the note will end, at the end of the song, the piano is mathematically correct so if you are playing by ear, like me then you find where the note begins and ends .... but wait!!! there are more in between the beginning and the ending which come together to change or make up the melody of any piece of music. this is my first time understanding this, and once I did it was for me like learning to snap my fingers for the very first time, the surprise of knowing where to land that note in any piece really builds me up ...as I said I play by hearing reading note or sheet music will take time but thank you for making it understandable for me because that will be the first step ...and playing with my left hand slowly but surely it will become like snapping my fingers for the very for time !!!

Almost give up actually. But getting better after a lot of practice.Thank you so much Bill. You’re a good teacher.
Good to hear it, and thanks for the kind words - give me a shout if you run into problems or have any questions 😀
Im 20 and im make music. My parents had put me for piano lessons when I was 8 but I didn't care so I stoped in the 1st week and I low key regret it but everything happens for a reason. I want to become a better musician and plus it's just cool to know how to play an instrument and piano is my fav. Even tho I am having a hard time with it I pray that I learn it one day, my goal is to be good at it max at 22 wish me good luck thanks
Good luck! You're still young, so if you go at it with a lot of determination you should make big improvements in a couple of years. Trick is to practise very regularly - every day if you can. Not necessarily loads and loads: half an hour a day at this stage is fine. It's the regularity and commitment that make it work!
I am already classically trained in reading sheet music and knowing the notes but your lessons are still really helpful lesson 5 and it's my first week learning feeling good
Great to hear Kelsie - keep me posted on how you do, and shout if you have any questions!
This is awesome! I've been practicing only about 30 mins a day the last week and I'm amazed at how simple and easy the first few lessons have been! I can reliably find what note I'm on and am doing pretty solid on my left and right hand CMaj scales together. Still struggling a bit reading the sheet music to find notes but I'm getting there. Playing left and right hand simultaneously is very difficult even with such an easy piece but It's getting better. Doing the CMaj scale drills over and over has made it a lot easier.
Glad to hear it's working out for you, Tyler! Keep going, and be prepared for a jump in the challenge level around lesson 9 or 10. The way to deal with that is to have the skills and lessons from the first few tutorials really locked down and thoroughly practised - people who come seriously unstuck at that stage have usually sped through the course a little too quickly! Let me know how you get on!
@@BillHilton Thanks for the tip! I work and go to school so trying to find time to practice has been hard, and I only end up getting maybe 10-20 mins any time I can sit down and play so I have to be really focused and diligent about what I'm doing. In a way its made it somewhat easier, but I'm going into Christmas break now from school so I'm excited to be able to get more time to play.
Thanks!
Thanks very much indeed, Richard - much appreciated!
Thank you for the lessons Bill, I have been having a blast learning
You're welcome, Dylan - glad they're helping! Let me know how you get on with the rest of the course, and give me a shout if you get stuck on anything. You might find things get a little trickier from lesson 8 or 9: the way to get past that is to make sure you have the stuff from these early tutorials really nailed down and automatic. Good luck!
This is exactly what I need. Great instruction! Thank you!
Thanks Bill! You the man!!!!
Hi bill i have just started learning this lesson, going from what you recommended, i will give my self about 20 mins to 30mins practice every day, ( if i can) which will include scales, in between pieces.
That would be about ideal, I'd say - regularity is more important than sheer time, so if you can manage every single day (or at least six days a week) that will really help. Good luck, and let me know if you need any help!
@@BillHilton just getting my left and stronger and reading the left and score really, I do have a imbalance with me learning keyboard years ago.
I love your approach to the lesson. You make things sound easy and very clear to understand. Thanks a lot. You're enhancing my knowledge of teaching reading music.
You're very welcome Esther!
hello there. i have been using your tutorials to learn piano and it is really great. thanks so much for putting these up❤
Thanks for your help and support
Always welcome!
Thank you for this free lesson :D
thanks..for the great tutorial.
Hi Bill' I started a few weeks ago at the start of the lock down from nothing on an old keyboard with some old books. I then found your tutorials and wow have they made a difference. I am just about playing lesson 5 without volume changes as my keyboard touch sensitivity is a bit all or nothing. I find I can play either melody line or the bass clef line easily, but when I go 2 hands my fingers don't behave themselves. Thank you soon be looking at lesson 6. Steve
No problem Steve - hope they're still working for you! The hands together thing is something everyone has to go through: it really is a question of brute forcing it, just pushing on through, taking things very slowly if necessary, until your brain makes the connections it needs. It WILL work - it just takes time!
@@BillHilton Nearly cracked the Lullaby lesson 6 so going very well, thank you.
Cool - keep going and let me know how you get on!
You are a good teacher,awesome
Thank you!
Really enjoying these lessons, I’ll Patreon you
Lovely! Thanks very much indeed!
Very good! Thank you for this.
Hi, I asked you last week if you had any material for beginners on another video. You sent me here and I wanted to thank you again, your course is nice and easy to follow. Cheers :)
No problem - glad it was useful!
such a useful tutorial, im sure ill be glad to learn this skill, im interested in those courses you have on patreon, ill def be checking them out. One question tho, how do you play notes softly and hard? my piano has a total of 61 keys long, not sure if that changes anything but when i try to play softly vs hard by hitting the keys in different ways, i dont hear the difference. do i have to change something? also i like to add that im playing it connected to my headphone by aux.
Love it thank you!
Great lesson well put together, thank you
learned a lot.. thank you...
Thank you for this lesson :D
You're the best bill 👏
I took a few weeks break for some other things, and forgot the finger roll from middle to thumb... Really stumped up the right hand for a while. That'll teach me... or will it? Now, I am back to the lessons! Thanks, again, Bill (:>)
Welcome back, Jim - keep me posted on how you get on!
Thank you.
👌👌👌👌all the videos you posted are very nice
Thank you very much! 😀
OK, thanks for that, as well as the lessons. I feel I can't go any further just yet, as am not quick enough on reading the music. If you have anything on getting me through that, it would be appreciated. In general, how long should it take a 60ish guy to get through the first 10 lessons from scratch. I know it depends on practice but.... Cheers
It's going to vary, and, as you say, it absolutely depends on practice. The basic principle is that, as a 60-year-old bloke, you can learn anything your 10-year-old self could, but it's going to take longer because your brain is less "plastic" (as the neuroscientists say) than it was when you were 10. In other words, it changes and adapts just as surely, but slower. Working on that principle, and assuming half an hour's practice per day, it would probably take 10-year-old Alan a week per lesson. 60-year-old Alan is going to be something more like two weeks per lesson - i.e., around 70 hours rather than 35. The important thing is to spread the practice out, too: half an hour per day (maybe split into two 15 minute slots on some days) over 20 weeks is going to be a *lot* more effective than 2.5 hours per day for a month. Bear in mind the figures vary for different people, and, in common with things like reading speed, it's unconnected to brainpower or underlying musicality. You as an individual might need anything between 50 and 100 hours to get to that level (but then the next stage of learning might be faster or slower...). Does that all make some sort of sense?
Great, is lesson no 6 out yet please?
It is now, Linda (sorry the delay in replying...). No. 7 should be this weekend, and I'm going to try to get no. 8 out next week.
Thanks for the tutorial I am knowing what the notes are my hands just aren’t fast enough yet. ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks a lot!!
Hello Mr Hilton first I wanna thank you for your help and as I am very new at this I found it a kinda hard but it's not impossible to learn BUT I feel that I am very slow is this ok? About 3 weeks in five lessons and still need to work on them 😓
Glad you you like the series, Dania! Don't worry about your progress: three weeks for five lessons is actually GOOD, and you have nothing to worry about - in fact, you're getting into the sort of territory where you need to be careful you don't get ahead of yourself. By the way, I'm making a tutorial that address exactly this "how fast should I progress" question (and some others about practice) right now, and it should go live later this week, so keep an eye out for it!
Thanks Bill. I’m really learning from this series. Unfortunately I have a keyboard doesn’t have dynamics control. So it doesn’t really matter how hard I press the keys.
Do you think I might have to buy a digital piano in the end?
You're welcome - glad to hear it's helping! Yes, I'd say ultimately you're going to need a "real" piano (acoustic or digital) if you want to learn the full range of piano skills. They don't have to cost a fortune: second hand digitals can be pretty cheap on your local eBay or equivalent. That said, you can still learn a lot of the basics with a simple keyboard for now. Another option you could look into is finding out if an institution near you has a piano they might let you practise on - a school or college, for example.
Quick question, the keyboard in using to learn plays the same volume of sound at every note, is there a way I can still practice dynamics?
Hi Jayden - sorry for the delayed reply to this! Short answer: not easily. However, it's not a deal-breaker: just use the keyboard you have to practise other aspects, and try at least to vary your touch depending on the dynamic. If possible, try to grab at least a few practice sessions on a touch-sensitive keyboard or a real piano, just to get a sense of dynamic playing sounds like. Ultimately, aim to get a digital piano/piano that is fully touch sensitive. But don't worry if that's not possible for you just yet: I know lots of people who have made great progress with limited equipment!
Thank you for the effort,Sir bill.But I am finding it difficult to apply the new things (forte,soft, crescendo, diminuendo), how do I do this on the same keyboard.once again thank you sir
thank you sir
You're welcome, Victor!

The first music I learned was the Nokia tune
Hey Bill, just bought an FP-30X and have been following along. One thing that's missing from these videos (and I suspect may even be intentional!) is how long to spend on these pieces and how proficent we should try to get.
I found I was able to read through the piece and play through it slowly within 20 minutes but it's probably going to take at least a few hours of practice to get this down pat with everything tuned and locked in (especially the dynamics!). I'm not looking at my fingers as I wish to use the sight reading as a reminder. I've already spent a couple hours dialing it in (over 3 days)
Is this a waste? Or should we expect to spend this amount of time at the beginning to help us build the skills? Should we spend many hours on this?
Hey Vaughan! Great choice of piano, for starters - the FP-30s are superb. And yes, my major regret about this series is that I didn't give guidance on times. This has proved to be a problem, as people have raced through the easier stuff at the beginning and not got it to a decent standard, which means they haven't had the foundations for later lessons, which means they've run into problems. I've spent a LOT of time over the past five years saying "slow down!" to people. I would say your approach definitely isn't a waste of time: in fact it's definitely the right one. Ideally you should have most stuff pretty well locked in before moving to the next tutorial (though it doesn't have to be perfect; I fully expect people to continue working on earlier pieces as they move through later tutorials.
As a very rough guideline, I think working through the full series is probably 6-8 months work, assuming pretty diligent practice on something like six days a week. If I think about people I know have completed the whole thing, the median is probably around 8 months, though many have taken more than a year (which is fine). Something like 1-3 weeks per lesson, starting at the low end of that range and getting up towards the high end of it for the later tutorials. Does that help?
Thanks Bill for the fantastic answer! I'm not really in a rush, so I'll take my time and spend on the higher end if needed.
Looking forward to the point where I can buy some books from you and be able to actually play them :)
@@hiltsVaughan you’re really welcome, Vaughan - let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!
Hey, I'm a social worker from India, I have been teaching piano lessons to the Slum children through your notes and lessons. but the PDF Notes page is not working now, means the page is getting opened. could you be able to solve this?

Is this a common thing? It takes me so much effort to even begin comprehending the second piece, but on some previous occasions i was trying to learn to play a song i really like and altho i didn't learn it that much, it went a lot better despite being a lot harder. Does it have to do something with the fact that i know very well how it should sound already?
Hi Bill, may I know if the fingering normally shown on a music score, or it’s just listed for instructional purpose here? Thanks!
It really varies - most commercial editions of piano music will include fingerings, added either by an editor or by the composer him- or herself. The two exceptions are (1) "urtext" editions that reproduce as closely as possible what the composer actually wrote in the score - often those don't contain fingerings, or only contain them patchily, especially if they're for relatively early music; (2) cheap piano arrangements of pop songs, which are often really hard to finger in any case. However, if you walk into a music store and buy music that's actually been written for piano and comes from a reputable publisher (ABRSM, Dover, Bärenreiter, Breitkopf and Härtel, Faber and quite a few others) they'll almost always have fingerings.
Thanks always for your great vids!
I've just got your cocktail piano book and got a question.
In Things to read section you're recommending some great composers like Rodgers, Gershwin and others which of course i adore as well. I'm just wondering if you can recommend any particular songbook to play on? I would really like to get something not so difficult and to study some form or structure of how to play those classic tunes.
First, when do you plan to have vid #6 in this series, and do you have any other videos that would be good for beginners besides what is in this series? Thanks.
Hi Randy - sorry for the delay! 6 and 7 are now live, and 8 should be up within the week :)
I've been learning piano on my keyboard and there's one thing I cannot comprehend in this lesson.When you say play softer in the mp do you mean physically aply less strength?Because no matter what I do with my keyboard the note sounds the same unless I turn down the volume but of course I can't do that while playing
Yes, to play softer you would apply less pressure on the key, and in consequence get a quieter sound. It sounds like your keyboard isn’t touch-sensitive, so you won’t be able to vary the dynamics (Lois’s and softs) by touch at this stage. Not to worry, though - work with what you’ve got for now and put it on your to-do list to have a go on a real piano or a touch sensitive digital piano or keyboard when you can.
Bill, please explain how to play softly on a cheap keyboard. Mine are all the same!
It's going to really depend on the keyboard, Alan - some that call themselves "touch sensitive" are actually pretty insensitive! What make and model do you have?
Hello Bill, I hope you and your family are doing well in these arduous times.
The loudness can't be controlled in my touch-sensitive keyboard. How do I practice crescendos and diminuendos there?
Not bad, thanks - hope you and yours are, too! The short answer is "that's difficult"! One thing you could try is tabletop practice: literally just try dim and cresc passages on the edge of a table rather than on any kind of keyboard. It can be surprisingly effective - just make a point of imagining or singing the notes as you play!
@@BillHilton Imagination is the key seems like it. Thank you for your response Bill!
@@huz.4028 You're welcome - let me know how you do!
@@BillHilton Sure!
Okay this lesson is going to keep me busy for a while🤣
Let me know how you get on! 😂
Hi Bill, I have a question - can I practice if I have cheap keyboard with no "louder" or "quieter" keys "options"?
I have no money to buy more advanced one and I'm kinda not sure.
I always say "work with what you've got!" - yes, you can certainly learn a lot with a basic keyboard like that. What I would do is practise and practise and practise basic stuff like music reading, note recognition and playing skills and then when one day you *do* get access to a proper piano/digital piano, you'll have a really good basis to work from. I've heard from people who have literally started learning on a keyboard drawn on a piece of paper and gone on to do well, so if that's possible then you're in a relatively good position. Do try to get access to a real piano soon, though (don't overlook the possibility of public pianos for practice: often libraries/community centres/colleges/other institutions have them, and will let you play if you ask nicely!). Good luck!
Excellent
super lovely
You're great
Thanks Jason!
Thanks Bill, that's seems about right for me!!
Anything on reading faster?
Hmmmm, not at the moment, but I might include something on beefing up your reading skills in one of the upcoming beginners tutorials. OR I suppose it could be a good one for a standalone tutorial. Leave it with me...
Very Good. I want to download PDF file, but not getting the site. Please give me the site
Thanks! You should be able to find all the PDFs linked from www.billspianopages.com/beginners Amitava - shout if you continue to have problems!
I am brand new to the piano and I'm having some difficulties reading music and playing it at the same time. I know where every note is on the piano and I know how to read music in the sense of which note is where, but every time that there is a big jump from one note to the next I have to look down and take a second to realize where my fingers are positioned, where the next note is, and then move my hand accordingly. I'm assuming that this isn't the best way because it'd be very hard to keep a consistent pace and not pause. Do you have any tips or exercises to get better at this. Shouldn't it eventually be like typing on a keyboard?
Sorry for the delayed reply on this one! I wouldn’t worry too much: the kind of problems you’re describing affect most pianists at most levels: even now, nearly forty years after first having lessons, I experience the exact same problems (albeit with trickier music than you’re dealing with here, but that’s just because I’ve been working at it for longer). Very, very few pianists ever get to a level of reading competence where it ceases to be a problem. It’s kind of like typing, but with many more variables to control (timing, expression, exactly how hard you’re hitting the keys etc) and many more things to think about while you’re doing it. So don’t beat yourself up if you’re finding it tough. Just keep plugging away, and give me a shout if you ever have questions or need guidance (I always reply eventually!)
Bill I noticed that your on sound cloud how does it work.. is there any cost. I enjoyed some your work there. I would like to start posting some original work. Also can you do covers. I am totally ignorant of the site. I read the rules but I didn't know if you could covers of popular songs etc. Thanks.
I think it's like most things - free version and paid version. I only use the free version, and it suits me fine. Re: covers, I would guess it's similar to UA-cam, in that copyright is an issue but that lots of fair use rules apply. Obvs I'm not a lawyer, but I would guess that on the face of it anything that's OK on UA-cam is probably OK on Soundcloud.
This song broke me, I tried to learn it at 11:00 o clock, tried it in the morning and it was much easier, this is either a cautionary tale or it show that I’m just an idiot
You’re definitely not an idiot! Remember this stuff takes time and practice - it’s much more like training in the gym (it takes time for a muscle to grow…) than like learning a list of something. Good luck, and give me a shout if you need any help with anything specific!
Actually you have to sleep on your practice, that's why it was easier in the morning, kinda odd but it's science
Hi! You mentioned you are using an app. May I know what app?
Morning! You're going to have to remind me of the context, as it's a while since I made this - what kind of app was I talking about? A metronome or something?
What was the first song?
Just a tune I put together for the purposes of this course - I hope you liked it!
@@BillHilton I heard that song somewhere.
It's a Yamaha psr F50.
OK - now, the F50 is one of the best keyboards in its range, but it doesn't have touch response (i.e., the sound isn't going to get louder or softer depending on how hard you hit the keys). It's going to be handy for learning theory and the very basics, but once you want to start moving on and learning advanced beginner and intermediate piano skills it'll be time to stick in on eBay and get something that does have touch response (and, ideally, 88 keys). Does that make sense?
@@BillHilton I was having the same question. Unfortunately the keyboard I own is not touch sensitive either. Any tips on buying a (used) keyboard? Great lessons by the way!
hello bill, how is the software named? cerbailias?
It's Sibelius, Juergen, after the composer. It's the industry standard software, but not the cheapest notation package out there. If you're new to notation software, maybe try out MuseScore or one of the other free application packages first to get a feel for them :)
Bill Hilton thank you verry much. It's verry kindly to get so fast an answer. I will have a look on the software. ps: you are playing more than well piano, thank you for all videos. kindly regards juergen
How much money the course cost😊
Absolutely none at all! 👍
hey, how do you go from soft to loud and back, is it a must to have the pedals for that?
@Doomranger hi I tried that but the sound was the same
What kind of keyboard do you have, Priyanka? Like Doomranger says, on a real piano or a touch-sensitive keyboard you should be able to change the volume of individual notes by pressing harder or softer on them. If that doesn't work, your keyboard may not be touch-sensitive (or touch-sensitivity might be turned off). If that's the case, don't worry: you can still make progress, but as soon as you get the chance to upgrade to a touch-sensitive keyboard or, even better, a proper digital piano, take it!
@@BillHilton I have a Yamaha e263
And when I tap lightly I tend to shake so I get the key also shaking 🙈🙈
@@priyankasinghpanwar6925 I'm pretty sure the e263 isn't touch-sensitive! When you can, upgrade to something that is (ideally with a sustain pedal, too, because they get important later on!)
