    I am 81 years old, and am an absolute beginner. I am enjoing your lessons. Of course learning to play the piano is very challenging, and without a physical teacher, it is even more challenging. But I am determined to master it.
    Thank you for your lessons.

    I love, love, love this tutorial! First of all, when I started piano I wanted everything to be perfect and I couldn't stand that I made mistakes. I would get frustrated and give up. I would say I can't do this! You showed us as a professional you can make mistakes. You made one and just laughed at yourself. That's a great attitude to show beginners! Mistakes are a part of the journey in learning the piano. Just have a laugh and keep on going! I love it!

    We are a musical family and I play a few instruments, but never the piano. So thank you for helping me take up the challenge!

    as a begginer my thought about learning piano was *AS LONG I CAN PLAY FEW SONG I DON'T NEED TO LEARN THIS * i didn't do any of this kind of exercise cause im really onto playing songs so i have trouble myself playing cause i can't really play anything...... i waste my 6months and i just realize now..... how stupid i was....... cause i
    think as long i can play its all right and gosh..... now that i realized it im gonna
    start all over again so i began to search about this things and i can say your the only one keep me interested to learn this cause your so fun to watch and its not boring to listen to you hehehe

    I am Intermediate keyboard player. I used my Left Hand only to play Octave to accompany with Right Hand. I always felt something missing while play melody notes or during Interlude. Now I realised by watched this clip that how important it is to use Left hand as of Right hand both to accompany and for filling.
    Good exercise for Left Hand with Staccato and Legato style ! It helped me a lot.
    Thank you for your this wonderful clips.
    Best Wishes !

    This is really wonderful. I'm 41 and I am learning now from your lessons. Bought a Yamaha recently, and not getting the opportunity to join a school because of COvid-19. Your lessons are really helpful. Especially this one for the left hand. As I had learnt the harmonium as a child, playing with the right hand is ok for me. but for the left ur lessons have really helped.

I'm learning quite a bit from you so far and I just wanted to let you know that I'm 62 years old and have found it hard to learn new things lately, but I'm finding it pretty easy to learn from you. Thank you!

    • @jannesamuelsson109
      @jannesamuelsson109 5 років тому +4

      You pivet. For the C, D, E, G and A-scale you go 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1. - And if you continue upwards you hit the second key (9th or 2nd interval) with 4, and just continue the same pattern. If you want to continue the scale downwards on your way -back, switch out 5 for 1. You only use your pinky when starting, ending or go back. It's the same pattern as for your right hand, only mirrored.
      5 =pinky - 4=ring - 3=middle - 2=index - 1=thumb
      I don't remember the fingerings for the other scales. I've played for less than two weeks, so I haven't gotten that far yet. But the world wide web holds the answers.

    My father fashioned himself as a "music teacher," after WWII. Major scales, I have embedded, "2 whole, 1 half, 3 whole and 1 half, note." He really enjoyed syncopated music. I endured years of teaching that never ever approached his musical desires. Sadly, the piano teachers I had to suffer, had no idea (1958). If you would have been my teach, I couldn't played a peach! I love this, I am 73, but this is really inspiring and motivating! No piano, but a guitar. Can I ask you for simply suggest how to apply your knowledge to me, and others like me, with prior basic/medium guitar skills?

    Hi Lisa :-)
    I read a lot of positive comments here and I do not doubt that many people have had great help thanks to your excellent videos and valuable exercises.
    However, if I observe your 5th (pinky) and the 1st (thumb) finger, I see that they are not really relaxed during the play. That means, they are not really completely independent from of the playing fingers.
    It would be nice if you also consider the weighting of the fingers in your explanations. It is indispensable that at anytime you get the absolute control during the hit and release of the fingers.
    Personally, I found very helpful the exercises with spreaded fingers and the simultaneous play of e. g. 5th and 2nd with e. g. 4th and 1st finger, or 5th and 3rd with 3rd and 1st, playing fourths, fifths, etc. to achieve strength, dexterity and independence of each finger and flexibility of the wrist and relaxed shoulders.
    And all this in only a period of about 2 years. And I started seriously with the exercises at the age of 52 :-). I still work on it, but the results are surprisingly.
    Thank you very much for your valuable and dedicated Videos and Work :-*
    PS: Sorry for my bad english :-O
