    Gotta tell you something. I spent some time like I mean SOOOOMEEE time browsing videos about guys lectoring you on how to play the piano, what to do, what's the theory but each has something. You my lady are the complete package. Profesionality, content, quality, confidence, knowledge and compassion. I love how simply and easily you express your music art and talent. It's truly awesome that someone like you is here. I go back thru your channel and watch every video, you understand how music works and can present it to us in a magic way that simply charm and motivate. I've had so many gaps in my musical knowledge and watching your videos teach me in fun way. I usually do not comment like I'm a teenager with celebrity crush, but you have my full support, I click subscribe, I click like everywhere and I cannot wait for more content.
    BTW I've been looking for some nice explanation of augmented and diminished chords, have you done something on this topic yet? Oh never mind I will get there on my way thru your channel 😃😇🙏♥️

    Hi!
    I've just purchased a piano because i decided that i want to learn to play the piano, but i have no idea where to start.
    Do you have some tips for beginners like me?

    • @anupamkhargharia1852
      @anupamkhargharia1852 4 роки тому +5

      1) Buy a digital piano with touch sensitivity(or an upright piano but it would cost a lot more).
      2) There is a video by PGN PIANO on UA-cam where he explains all of the basics of music theory needed to play the piano. Follow that. It'll help you.
      3) Learn sheet music. Very important! It might seem very boring and also very hard but it will pay off in a few years.
      4) Try to have fun. Don't learn songs which you don't like to hear. Learn pieces which you like and which would interest you.
      5) Don't blindly follow the midi of a piece but try to understand the theory behind that(that's why you should learn sheet music).
      5) If you can afford to get a (good) tutor then ignore all of my points and hire a tutor to teach you.

      Ive been new to playing piano as well. Its been a month with at least 2 hours/day 6x/week practice.
      Giving you an advice as a beginner too, this are the things that I studied first to at least have a grasp in the piano
      1. Familiarizing the position of the keys (lots of drill exercises in uoutube to practice on)
      2. Hand coordination (im still enhancing this skill to myself, but what im doing with is some arpeggios? ) (right now i can say that im in 7 out of 10 hand coordinated. Its very difficult lol)
      3. Some basic note scale. (Try to familiarize and memorize the note scales. For me, I first memorize the C Major scale since most beginner songs you can play in piano was in that scale)
      4. Try to play nursery songs or kids songs ( a great way to practice and also great way to see your progress as you can say to yourself that you are actually playing a song in the piano)
      5. This is the best and exciting part. Try to learn one song for a week that is very familiar to you and you really LOVE. Try to find its simplified or easy version so you can learn it and play at your level. ( for me, I currently can play Someone you loved, some Kpop songs, and some naruto ost.) (These is great way to get the passion in playing the piano burning)
      Then after these, learning the music sheets, the music theory and that sort of stuff will come next. Coz if you start with these, you will get easily bored. Or its just me hahaha
      Anyways, hope these help.

    This was a GREAT tutorial and I am really trying to follow it. Thank you!!!! Gorgeous song. Your vocals are perfect, Lisa. The only thing is the way you sing the word “favorite.” It’s just a matter of personal preference: I prefer the way Taylor sings it. She sings it in two syllables and you sing it in three syllables, so to speak. You made that part your own and that’s great, but I will follow the original on this tiny part. Sorry to pay attention to such a small detail. Thank you for this truly helpful and awesome tutorial!!!!! 🤩🤩
