Unfortunately I can no longer afford a teacher to give me private lessons so I have to learn on my own, you're helping me so much Francesca! Thank you, have a Merry Christmas! 🙂🎄
I am so happy I found a teacher like you I am really thankful that you are teaching us .I basically learned how to play the piano because of this channel .💗
Hi. I'm from India... I love to sing and learning to accompany myself through your tutorials have made me fall in love with music all the more... So I am really grateful! Could you please make an easy tutorial of 'You will be found' from dear Evan Hansen?
Thank you! Fingering gets forgotten a lot here... & for better and sometimes worse... i was guilty of “creative” fingering as a kid in my lessons! 😝😂 it was actually kind of impressive how I could do all the wrong fingering but still keep the rhythm ... i used to just laugh when he would try to correct me lol 😝😂😕
I would love to know the name of the piece of music that is played when the sheet music is displayed in this video thanks I was hoping somebody had already asked the Question but I couldn’t see one. Great video by the way
Great channel and tutorial, thank you so much.😊 When working out fingering, do you think it is a good idea to try and use consistent fingers for particular note transitions in different passages of a piece (to help train muscle memory)? Even if slightly easier fingering will work in some passages? Thank you!
Always stick to using the same fingers when learning a piece of music. The fingers used depend on what comes before and after, and should be mainly dictated by how the music is articulated (smooth or detached). ‘Easier’ fingering may not enable you to play as legato as possible, for example.
Thank you so much for your reply, Francesca. I'm sorry, I wasn't very clear with my question. I'm trying to work out what fingering to use on a score that doesn't have any fingering marked. At one point the R hand drops down from D (as high as the passage goes) to A, and it seems most logical (and works well for what comes next) to use Fingers 5 (D) and 2 (A). But a few bars later, I need to drop down again from D to A, and then to F sharp. So now I'm going Fingers 5 (D), 3 (A) (which is a slight stretch) and then 2 (F sharp). I'm wondering whether I should use Finger 3 (rather than 2) for the A the first time as well, so my hand gets used to that transition within this piece? To be clear, once I work out what fingering to use in the different passages, I will definitely stick to that when learning/playing the piece. Thanks so much again.😊
I'm trying to learn "Flight of the Bumblebee", I don't know what to do I cannot find music sheet with proper fingering. The piece itself is already difficult for me and without knowing what finger to use makes it even worse. Welp.
Yes generally! You’ll learn to notice patterns within music such as Scalic and arpeggiated, so if you practise scales and arpeggios then the fingering will be more instinctive!
Thank you- could you do a tutorial on Sara Bareilles Bottle it Up? Love Song is great but its so overplayed & Bottle it Up is SUCH a great song & there are hardly any good tutorials on it anywhere 😕😢
they aren't always though, and there are often a few different ways to finger a particular passage. This lesson is also for the many people learning who don't use sheet music.
What advice you can give like me,I'm already 35 yrs old And I really need to know more on how to play keyboard because I need it,but my finger is not working good☺️
@@BitesizePiano I still don’t really understand which fingers to use when, do you have any other videos or know of any resources on finger positioning?
I mean you go way too fast and we cannot see what you do. It's not made for beginners. Otherwise it has no purpose if it's made for people who know how to play.@@BitesizePiano
Ah so your first comment was sarcasm. Cool👍🏻 Where do I go ‘way too fast’? I explain everything and talk through what I’m doing clearly. It’s not made for *complete* beginners. Many people who are self taught and ‘know how to play’ have many bad habits with regards to finger choice.
@@DayaTom In case you haven't used it so far, on top right corner is a settings button which you can used to adjust speed to what you like. Thank me later.

So pleased it helped! 🤗🎹
I always play the fingers that feels the most natural and comfortable to me when playing a piece
same lol, and its actually wrong 😭😭
@@taehyungiewifeu9967 its acually correct to do that, well kinda
Interesting video and really comes down to learning the ability to read music ahead so that your fingering is correct.
Absolutely!
Love your lessons, keep it up

When it comes to sight-reading, does it become more natural to instinctively know what fingers to use without planning them out beforehand?
Yes generally! You’ll learn to notice patterns within music such as Scalic and arpeggiated, so if you practise scales and arpeggios then the fingering will be more instinctive!
@@BitesizePiano Thank you so much for your fast reply! Your videos are great :)
Thank you- could you do a tutorial on Sara Bareilles Bottle it Up? Love Song is great but its so overplayed & Bottle it Up is SUCH a great song & there are hardly any good tutorials on it anywhere 😕😢
You make it seem very difficult, hahaha. I hope I don't end up quit learning piano 😫
I make it seem difficult?
Fingering numbers should always be printed on sheet music to help everybody.
they aren't always though, and there are often a few different ways to finger a particular passage. This lesson is also for the many people learning who don't use sheet music.
I so agree to this.
Hey can you do the tutorial of Starting Over Again by Natalie Cole pls????😩
Need thisss
One kiss from spain
What advice you can give like me,I'm already 35 yrs old And I really need to know more on how to play keyboard because I need it,but my finger is not working good☺️
Have a browse through my channel videos!
I’m still confused :( btw is that the song from spirited away?
Not sure how you’re confused?
@@BitesizePiano I still don’t really understand which fingers to use when, do you have any other videos or know of any resources on finger positioning?
very useful. i now enjoy piano so much, i finger it every night.
Glad you found it helpful!
Are you in the area of Georgia?
No I’m in Yorkshire, England
There is a reason why this has 0 dislikes
Please record a song, "worlds collide" Maia Reficco Or "key of life" by Maia Reficco. ❤️🙏
Do i just do that over and over for 30 minutes a day?
Do what over and over?
@@BitesizePiano hi, do that scale
👍🌷
🤗🎹
Can you do it a lil faster? We actually managed to see something!
Sorry I don’t know what you mean pal
I mean you go way too fast and we cannot see what you do. It's not made for beginners. Otherwise it has no purpose if it's made for people who know how to play.@@BitesizePiano

I never show my palm while playing piano even im a begginer
that's good! :)
My fingering is always so bad lol
please.. upload.. photograph.... song.. with.. singing.. please...
First view
Woohoo!
too fast
Did you know you can slow UA-cam videos down? I don’t feel this is ‘too fast’, but one pace isn’t going to suit everyone. At least it’s free 😉
