I've just bought myself a keyboard because I've wanting to play piano for so long. Everytime I hear a piano sound or someone playing piano I get excited by it's sound, weird but it's true. I'm in my sixties and I do enjoy your lesson. It's so much knowledge and you're such a patient teacher. Thank you. My reason for learning is to play worship songs. I love worshipping The Lord and I really want to sing and play lots of melodies for The Lord. God bless everyone watching this video. 🙏 for more knowledge and fast learning of new skills and techniques. 😊
Hey Corey , I’m Kieran , about to have our 9th child , I love the piano , as a music producer using fruity loops, I’ve never really understood the piano,,, until this video , you’ll literally took the shackles from my feet, I’m now using progressive chords, scales and have a vast understanding. It was basically the way you explained it as nobody else ever did, what a legend, thankyou
I'm so glad to hear I was able to help illuminate the world of piano for you! That's seriously awesome, and I think it'll take your music to the next level. By the way I love Fruity Loops, that was my first ever DAW all the way back in 2003!
I have watched a ton of YT videos for beginners.....i just got my new and 1st electric piano a Yamaha P-225. A Christmas present to my self but it just got here Dec 28th 2023.....Just found this YT video and I'm feeling encouraged.
Nothing feels better than a new keyboard! I started with a Williams Legato Iv which is a quality digital piano compared to its predecessors but returned it for a Yamaha PSR-EW310 arranger which is more my speed for needs. Because I didn’t have $750+ to drop on this
This is, by far, the easiest to understand and totally enlightening for beginners. I was so frustrated that I couldn’t understand what to do, but with your video everything becomes easy and clear. I will for sure get your 30 days course as well. Thank you!
Wow, I am watching this 6 am on Christmas Day I have recently retired and have started to learn piano. I bought my keyboard three weeks ago, and in that time I have watched hundreds of videos on how to play. I’m so glad I found this one it is by far the best and easiest to follow. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I'm 65 years of age, and I had never been near a piano till 2 months ago. My favourite style inspirstion is blues and boogie woogie. So having retired with time to filI, I started looking at types of keyboards. I bit the bullet strsight away and brought a Roland digital fp 30. with fully weighted 88 keys. This was an expensive risk, but I didnt care. After just 2 months, I find I can already produce melodic patterns, including a basic blues bass riff, and now there is an inner desire to learn more. Then last week, after a lot of you tube surfing, I stumbled on this video. Its the perfect tool, Ive wstched it from start to finish a couple of times, and now I dip in at random on bits I think I need to work on. You see, I think a lot of people who self teach in this way become put off by the thousands of videos and methods out there, as they all concentrate on one aspect at a time. People get bored and they hop over to another video, and realisticslly its becsuse they cannot fathom how it all fits together to make them become the type of player that they yearn to be. In my view, this video suns up in one go how the keyboard works, and it gives you all the tools for the job straight away so you can decide for yourself where you need to go with your skills. To know how scales, keys and chord progressions work are all essential skills from the start. Im not really bothered about just learning tunes parrot fashion, as without the theory to back it up, that will be all you can play. Im already loving my new hobby, and wish id started years ago. This video is priceless. Well done.
I have no music background whatsoever so I just spent the last three months piecing together information so that I could just START learning piano and this guy covered all the basics that anyone needs to know to get started in one video. Wish I found it three months ago. lol. The course looks pretty good too. I think I'm going to give it try. Thanks!
I do like the course even more! This is kind of an info-dump but the course really goes one step at a time with more bite sized lessons and an action step for each one :-)
@CoreyLennox I just found your channel, and what that comment said, I totally agree. You have obviously thought a lot about how to teach this stuff in a modern way. It really works for me so far. Pretty sure I will take your course.
I have been playing piano but never understood how to progress. I prayed to God to help me understand piano playing and wallah! .. He led me to this video… and I have watched so many videos but this video explains so much more. I love you for sharing this video. Thank you Sir.
I'm a recent subscriber and am glad I found you! I'm 80 and have loved music all my life. However, I've never been able to find a way to express it. The way you teach has me excited that I may finally be able to make/play music. After watching a couple of your videos I can see what you've been talking about ..the similarities between songs....etc. Like I said, I'm excited!
I have watched UA-cam videos for 10 years on playing piano. This is the most insightful ONE video you will ever watch! I am ready to play now!! Thank you Corey. And I will check out your course!
Nothing relaxes me more than listening to you play the piano. I'll continue to watch the video again & again. Thank you for making it so simple so anyone can learn. God bless you.❤
This is revolutionary! Hope others realize what you've actually put together here as there is so much content! Back in the VHS tape days this would be deliberately spralled out over a lengthy series that would cost big time!! You deserve millions of subscribers I plan to contribute!
Just ordered a keyboard this afternoon, and thought I should check out a ‘first lesson’ video. The first top three from the search were awful; so glad I skipped down the list and found yours. I was riveted from start to finish; playing the practice notes on my knee as you explained them. You have me genuinely excited about the next 1-3 years. Thank you so much.
Dude, I've learnt more about music an playing piano in an afternoon following through the video than I've learnt in the last 6 months since I've started this journey! Thanks so much for putting this together!
Been making music for 2 decades and already learned a few things in the first 10min. Your approach to teaching this is the best I have come accross Cory. Liked and subbed.
Thank you so much for explaining it so well! I have been searching for a good course on learning the piano & I thank The Lord for finding me The Best Instructor like you! God bless you
I loved this!!! I literally just got a new keyboard (like now) and started looking for videos on YT for beginners. Watched a few but wasn't really into their teaching method but oh wow thank goodness I came across yours. This video encourages me to learn, you teach with such patience. Thank you!!! Will be here in your channel for a while
This has been the best explanation/ lesson I have found. thank you so much for your patience and not making it sound complicated. I’m an older learner.
Just bought a Yamaha EZ 300 keyboard to see if I can learn basic playing at 68 years old Patience and practice just hand movements scale practice and learning the major and minor Chords and key layout will be enough for a week or two less haste more progress,thank you for you excellent instruction if in 6 months I can play simple music I will be so happy thanks
Such a great video! I have been self teaching through YT (played for years as a child) and this was a great recap to see where I am in my relearning…….plus I learned some new tips and techniques. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
What you say about playing by ear is 100% valid. Without proper technique, play by ear only *seems* easy. Many PbE Only instructors do not teach structure much and that leads to frustration.
Just watching thus video to when you show how to play a few major chords, I'm already picking up and singing different songs. This is literally the best learninh video out there.
@@CoreyLennox I like the fact that you are giving this info out for free to us. Between you and your parents? It must have been a ton of money spent. And you're helping us. Berklee Music College. You must have a big brain on you.
Corey you are a great teacher. Walking us through step by step, making difficult concepts simple, making us feel confident, then humbling us to keep us on track (40:10 - 42:30) 😆 🤣
I have been playing for 2 years started on a P121 and now has the P525 and love to practice everyday min 20 min most days 1 or 2 hours. Looking at UA-cam videos of piano playing and music theory the hole time. Your explaining was byfar the absolutley best way! I whis i found it earlier! I will use this from now on. I use Simpley piano app and love it. It makes learning 10 times easeyer then a book. I get instant correction by the tablet. When i read notes. I can play 100 of songs really bad but not one great. Thats because i want to learn reading music not memorize songs. So i almost always plays diffrent songs. But once again so greatfull that I have found you on youtube. Time to dive in to your content! :-)
This is brilliant and allows me to map out a learning path for myself. My brain needs to have the big picture and a map to understand what I need to practice and learn. I couldn’t cope with beginner methods as they don’t give me a sense of where I’m going with them. This video does! Thank you!
I watched the video and at 49 aI finally going to start after all those years. I know it takes years of dedication, but I feel with these courses I bought I will be able to do it.
Thank you for your awesome work on this video. Your daughter is so beautiful ❤ God( The Trinity) bless you, your loved ones, and your work.❤ Lots of thanks and blessings, ❤ From Canberra in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊
I have been learning piano for years. I know scales, basic chords, arppergios, I have tried to practice exercises from hanon but my progress is been very slow. I definitely will try using the Alfreds adult method book . Thank you for your lessons.
Thank you so much Sir Corey. Salute to you for sharing your talent. And thank you for making it easy for to understand. You simplified the process on how to start learning. May the Lord bless you!!! 🔥🥰
I cannot tell you how many times your instruction has helped me just get comfortable in practicing. Some of your lessons I've been through dozens of times. Practice time, half an hour, what am I still very bad at? Okay, let's do that thing I can't do, there's a section of lesson just for that. After a few weeks, I can do it on my own, still struggling of course but I can and I've always been intimidated by music and instruments for the very reasons you describe. Didn't know the theory months ago. The real kicker for me is learning scales and like you get a sight picture using firearms, you can get a sight picture and then a feel picture for scales. That technique hugely helps in driving the scales into seemingly less the brain and more the muscle memory. Doing this has also really upped my melody and "music feel", I don't know what to call it, maybe ear. Perhaps intuition for what works and the emotion it creates. I'm so much faster at figuring out which notes sound like what because process of elimination. Find the scale and if you can, the key, roll with it until you feel that click. Those are your notes. Now figure out the rhythm. Biggest challenge among many is being comfortably ambidextrous and of course finger technique for consistency. Broken chord arpeggio is really really hard for me to do consistently. I can do it but not on the fly. But that's fine because it sounds good and feels rewarding once you "get it" at least for that little while before the conscious mind is like "hey, are you doing this right?" and that's when the whole rhythm and smoothness falls apart. Sometimes I wish I could shut the brain down and simply play but I guess just like karate, the only way to get passed that is more practice. So in an overly verbose form; thanks man. Your way of explaining this "clicks". I felt stupid at first but, I get it. I'm an old guy, not looking to go pro but yes, old people can learn new tricks with a method of learning that fits them.
For how long have you been playing the piano 😉, I read all your comment and got curious! I have started on my own a month ago straight to the Moonlight sonata 1st movement but what helps me is my yamaha clavinova csp with the streamlights but I really want to learn the basics and bring a strong foundation in playing this instrument
I am an undiluted greenhorn in this field. I am slow in getting the chords, but I will. You just gained a subscriber.. You're super-awesome! Thank you so much for this gift. 💞🌺
Another great video. Time flys by as I watch. Need to rewatch this over and over; so much quality content in your clear concise way of explanation, many thanks once again. Shame you don’t have PayPal or Apple Pay for your 30 day course.
I'm truly grateful that you took the time to create a FREE resource that empowers everyone who wants to learn to play the piano. Blessing to you and your family. PS: I really loved the video.
Man this finally made sense. I found another of your videos on music theory because I’m learning bass and out of all the videos and books I read you explained everything so well. That video lead me here and now I’m shopping for a keyboard lol. Thank you so much.
@CoreyLannox I have no music background. My keyboard was gathering dust( on the cover :)) It just occurred to me why not give it a try! I played many UA-cam videos but I am sure this one is gonna do me good! Thanks.
I’m a really beginner and no nothing about piano and was getting frustrated by watching all these beginner videos and was about to sell my 1 years keyboard. I’m glad I ran across this video. I’m talking my stickers for sure now and just start over from here. I was told to buy this 88 keys weighted keyboard that will also help.
❤ WOW I'm getting the difference the black and white keys have been confusing me. But now you're making everything discovered or no more Mistry. I can now spot any key on Piano keep making step bye step video like this ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. The things you said made so much sense. When I was looking for videos to teach me I came across this one and I enjoyed the way you explained things and your voice was easy to listen to. Since I purchased your 30 day piano I’ve been bombarded will ALL kinds of piano method ads. I thank you that you’re not sales pitchy like all these other ones. That alone makes me want to complete your class! As I do want to learn technicality while having fun. I also would like to learn to read music with the piano. I’m on your class day 9 (but I’ve only been playing piano for 4 days!… I am surprising even myself. But I do have some musical history under my belt (trumpet in high school)).
Man these social media platforms are so eerily good about targeting us haha! But yeah I really try to be as down-to-earth as I can. I never want to be click-bait-y or over-hype anything, even if I'd probably get more sales that way! I'm really glad you're enjoying the course, that makes me so happy to hear! Best wishes on your piano journey 🙏🏻
Hi Corey, this was a terrific and very informative video. I took piano lessons (twice) when I was young. I am now 62 and want to try taking lessons again. I am going to follow your lessons in this tutorial video and get the book you suggested. Where could I find lead sheets? They would be very helpful. I think I will sign up for your online lessons as well. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. Your daughter is adorable 💝
Hi Corey My name is Cookie . I have met played in my life. I’m 56 years old and have this like longing to learn the piano. I think because I’m a worshipper in church I want to also play and worship on the piano. I know I can do it. 😅
Hi I'm 35 i don't have any idea about piano but very keen to learn when I was young but time didn't give me chance but I wanted to learn please pray for me.God will help me
I watch this video once a week. And, yes. I get more from it every time I watch it. I only practise on my day's off from work. Even though I should practice every day. That being said? I get more from this than all the books I've bought so far.
@@CoreyLennox Yes, Mostly being able to use my fingering in the 1 through 5 facet, as opposed to trying to pluck it out 1 finger at a each note. I still need work. But search and destroy is going to the past.
Hope you loved the video!
Drop any questions in the comments, and remember you can get my Piano in 30 Days Course here: bit.ly/piano-in-30-days
Yes Corey I love how you teach theory. It's perfect. But could you teach more about reading music?
Okay so is a sharp the same as a half step forward and flat the same as a half step back?
@@paulchristie8452 Yup!
Cheers 🍻
Does every chord have 2 scales mixed into it?

I have watched a ton of YT videos for beginners.....i just got my new and 1st electric piano a Yamaha P-225. A Christmas present to my self but it just got here Dec 28th 2023.....Just found this YT video and I'm feeling encouraged.
I got the ydp 150 for myself for Christmas
I got an old Casio MT-240 just last week.
Is it Yamaha P-225 worth it, is it really good for the price range. I’m thinking about getting one as well just want to know if it’s totally worth it.
Nothing feels better than a new keyboard! I started with a Williams Legato Iv which is a quality digital piano compared to its predecessors but returned it for a Yamaha PSR-EW310 arranger which is more my speed for needs. Because I didn’t have $750+ to drop on this
This is, by far, the easiest to understand and totally enlightening for beginners. I was so frustrated that I couldn’t understand what to do, but with your video everything becomes easy and clear. I will for sure get your 30 days course as well. Thank you!
Wow, I am watching this 6 am on Christmas Day
I have recently retired and have started to learn piano. I bought my keyboard three weeks ago, and in that time I have watched hundreds of videos on how to play.
I’m so glad I found this one it is by far the best and easiest to follow.
Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I'm 65 years of age, and I had never been near a piano till 2 months ago.
My favourite style inspirstion is blues and boogie woogie.
So having retired with time to filI, I started looking at types of keyboards.
I bit the bullet strsight away and brought a Roland digital fp 30. with fully weighted 88 keys. This was an expensive risk, but I didnt care.
After just 2 months, I find I can already produce melodic patterns, including a basic blues bass riff, and now there is an inner desire to learn more.
Then last week, after a lot of you tube surfing, I stumbled on this video.
Its the perfect tool, Ive wstched it from start to finish a couple of times, and now I dip in at random on bits I think I need to work on.
You see, I think a lot of people who self teach in this way become put off by the thousands of videos and methods out there, as they all concentrate on one aspect at a time.
People get bored and they hop over to another video, and realisticslly its becsuse they cannot fathom how it all fits together to make them become the type of player that they yearn to be.
In my view, this video suns up in one go how the keyboard works, and it gives you all the tools for the job straight away so you can decide for yourself where you need to go with your skills.
To know how scales, keys and chord progressions work are all essential skills from the start.
Im not really bothered about just learning tunes parrot fashion, as without the theory to back it up, that will be all you can play.

Biggest challenge among many is being comfortably ambidextrous and of course finger technique for consistency. Broken chord arpeggio is really really hard for me to do consistently. I can do it but not on the fly. But that's fine because it sounds good and feels rewarding once you "get it" at least for that little while before the conscious mind is like "hey, are you doing this right?" and that's when the whole rhythm and smoothness falls apart. Sometimes I wish I could shut the brain down and simply play but I guess just like karate, the only way to get passed that is more practice.
So in an overly verbose form; thanks man. Your way of explaining this "clicks". I felt stupid at first but, I get it. I'm an old guy, not looking to go pro but yes, old people can learn new tricks with a method of learning that fits them.
For how long have you been playing the piano 😉, I read all your comment and got curious! I have started on my own a month ago straight to the Moonlight sonata 1st movement but what helps me is my yamaha clavinova csp with the streamlights but I really want to learn the basics and bring a strong foundation in playing this instrument
I am an undiluted greenhorn in this field. I am slow in getting the chords, but I will.
You just gained a subscriber..
You're super-awesome!
Thank you so much for this gift. 💞🌺
🌹What a fantastic teaching video! Blessings to you and your family! THANK YOU!🌹
Thank you for your time ! I’ve learned a lot. As a beginner, I’ve expected the professional level already.
Another great video. Time flys by as I watch. Need to rewatch this over and over; so much quality content in your clear concise way of explanation, many thanks once again.
Shame you don’t have PayPal or Apple Pay for your 30 day course.
Friend, thank you so much for this. This is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better and easy to follow. Thank you again and God bless.
Love from Uganda.
I'm truly grateful that you took the time to create a FREE resource that empowers everyone who wants to learn to play the piano. Blessing to you and your family. PS: I really loved the video.
Awesome! Thank you for such detailed information
Man this finally made sense. I found another of your videos on music theory because I’m learning bass and out of all the videos and books I read you explained everything so well.
That video lead me here and now I’m shopping for a keyboard lol. Thank you so much.
The best teacher 🫡🫡🫡thank you sir❤❤🙏
the best teaching i have ever followed.
WOW!!..brilliant way of teaching piano for beginners, thank you for doing this :)
@CoreyLannox
I have no music background. My keyboard was gathering dust( on the cover :)) It just occurred to me why not give it a try! I played many UA-cam videos but I am sure this one is gonna do me good! Thanks.
Really interesting and educative.. more grace sir ❤❤❤
Thank you. By far the best tutorial I have ever seen
That was amazing lesson thank you
I’m a really beginner and no nothing about piano and was getting frustrated by watching all these beginner videos and was about to sell my 1 years keyboard. I’m glad I ran across this video. I’m talking my stickers for sure now and just start over from here. I was told to buy this 88 keys weighted keyboard that will also help.
You can do it! Just be patient and maybe even get an in person teacher if you can :)
❤ WOW I'm getting the difference the black and white keys have been confusing me. But now you're making everything discovered or no more Mistry. I can now spot any key on Piano keep making step bye step video like this ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. The things you said made so much sense. When I was looking for videos to teach me I came across this one and I enjoyed the way you explained things and your voice was easy to listen to. Since I purchased your 30 day piano I’ve been bombarded will ALL kinds of piano method ads. I thank you that you’re not sales pitchy like all these other ones. That alone makes me want to complete your class! As I do want to learn technicality while having fun. I also would like to learn to read music with the piano. I’m on your class day 9 (but I’ve only been playing piano for 4 days!… I am surprising even myself. But I do have some musical history under my belt (trumpet in high school)).
Man these social media platforms are so eerily good about targeting us haha! But yeah I really try to be as down-to-earth as I can. I never want to be click-bait-y or over-hype anything, even if I'd probably get more sales that way! I'm really glad you're enjoying the course, that makes me so happy to hear! Best wishes on your piano journey 🙏🏻
You are the best. Your explanations are quite easy to understand. Good job
Fantastic! Will bookmark this to begin my studies🙏
Hi Corey, this was a terrific and very informative video.
I took piano lessons (twice) when I was young. I am now 62 and want to try taking lessons again.
I am going to follow your lessons in this tutorial video and get the book you suggested.
Where could I find lead sheets? They would be very helpful.
I think I will sign up for your online lessons as well.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
Your daughter is adorable 💝
Hi Corey
My name is Cookie . I have met played in my life. I’m 56 years old and have this like longing to learn the piano. I think because I’m a worshipper in church I want to also play and worship on the piano. I know I can do it. 😅
Hi I'm 35 i don't have any idea about piano but very keen to learn when I was young but time didn't give me chance but I wanted to learn please pray for me.God will help me
Learnt more in 15 minutes of this lessons than I did with all other courses. Thank you❤️
Thank you so much…… You just got me ready for next semester, I love the way you explain the material 🎉and recap…..
Enjoy much a good teacher indeed I am a beginner of 63yrs😂
Thank you for the lesson Corey! 😊
Thank you for watching!
Brilliant, thankyou.
I watch this video once a week. And, yes. I get more from it every time I watch it.
I only practise on my day's off from work.
Even though I should practice every day.
That being said? I get more from this than all the books I've bought so far.
That’s so great to hear!! I’m so glad you’re getting value out of this. Have you noticed any specific areas of your playing improve?
@@CoreyLennox Yes, Mostly being able to use my fingering in the 1 through 5 facet, as opposed to trying to pluck it out 1 finger at a each note. I still need work. But search and destroy is going to the past.
@@CoreyLennox To reiterate on that. I mean to say how I'm putting my pinkie finger into it. It's not easy. But, it makes a world of change.
Thanks you very much ❤🎉 may the AlmightyGod reward your good works ijn
Wow! Thank you so much for this understandable explanation. You’re it!
Great video. Thank you so much🙏
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it
