    I’ve just bought a keyboard. This has been my dream since I was a child but the times and finances could barely afford living. I’ve finally purchased my first keyboard 2 days ago, 26 years of wait. I just couldn’t help myself but to go crazy sounding awful lol. This is my first time having an instrument and very first time playing it. I was searching where to begin with. I cant even follow a single pattern going up and down. This made me thought i’m passed my time to learn piano as it takes years to move both hands in different directions but i don’t want to give up. My brother, this video has given me hope. I’ve heard this at least 10 times now, i still can’t play anything but now, i believe if i stay consistent, i can do it. I can’t afford any piano tutors. Sometimes, we might not realize how we are adding values into people life, and your video is one example of it. Looking forward to learn more from you. God bless you, keep doing the good work that you’re doing!! Much respect.

      Thanks for the feedback that’s nice to hear. Just remember you’re asking your hands and fingers to move and be controlled in ways they’re not used to yet,it’s like learning to walk again. It’ll be wobbly for a while and you’ll fall over but eventually you can run.

      Yea Brother, btw it takes longer to get your fingers moving independently than anybody ever says! In the very beginning, I literally had to use one hand to guide my fingers on the other hand! But within a couple months, no problems - now it's a whole other story. Daily practice works wonders.

    Started playing (professional taught) at 8 yrs. Over 40 years now. Believe me, start with counting the music score and properly. Then reading the music score. Practice right hand, then left. Bring them together. Practice daily! Doing scales, triads, is very important too! All the best!

      @@30k_Challenge_with_0video Do you have the feeling or seeing type of synesthesia? I have the seeing type, for example there is one song that I never found the name of that is forever called "Orange Rectangles" because thats what I saw when I heard the song. With the seeing type, you can try using the colors as a guide. I don't know a lot about the subject, I have produced for several years, but I am also still new at piano and learning myself so I don't know if I have any good advice for you other than we are in the same boat.

    You are young and by heck you know how to teach.
    Those chord progressions were good.
    Practice all four with both hands?
    I did not know all the black notes formed the minor pentatonic. That was great to learn and there is some good improvising to be done with the black notes.
    You are a breath of fresh air.
    Its all very well people saying " get a teacher".
    Some of us cannot afford that...pensioners like me!

    My grandad died around 10yr ago and he had a keyboard, its been at my mums ever since his death..never been used by anyone since his death..until yesterday by me. Now I have no idea how to play keyboard really, but I was messing around with the keys/tones ect and managed to teach myself bits of "The final countdown, wonderwall, beat it" granted these will be the absolute basic version of the songs..but it's a start...and had no help ,tutorials or anything whatsoever, So I'm now I'm actually thinking of learning everything from scratch. I will add that I used to be a drummer in many bands for 15years, and can play bits on guitar and bass too..and I get people say if you can play guitar you can play piano /keyboard..let me tell you that's not the case with me,looking at a keyboard and trying to play it is complete alien to me.

    • @PianoFromScratch

      I’m sure experience in music in general will help you out as you progress, with your sense of rhythm and your ears and musicality. But yes getting familiar with the actual keyboard layout and technique etc will take some getting used to. Practice often and things start to feel a bit more natural after a while! Good luck!

      I'll put it to you like this, I'm definitely not an expert piano player. I've just messed around most of my life, learned how to play the first part of yankee doodle as a kid, just the one hand. I've never ever played using two hands. It was extremely easy for me when watching the tutorial. I never knew those chords existed like that. Now, I feel like a whole thing for me has been opened up to playing piano, because the black notes, I've never understood.
      I have no clue how to read sheet music, other than we learned FACE is on the spaces and EGBDF (Every Good Boy Does Fine) is on the lines from bottom to top. No idea what a quarter note is, what an eighth note is or how to apply those to playing. But this tutorial really opened things up for me.

My piano isn't arriving yet but I'm glad to find this useful channel that I can make reference to it. I've seen a lot of channels but isn't great as your explanation through every tiny little detail that I'm as a beginner have to mind with. Again, Thank you so much for your great effort ! Really appreciate it.

  • @TheFakeyCakeMaker
    @TheFakeyCakeMaker 2 роки тому

    Where have you been all my life? I am a musician, I don't play keyboard but I play guitar, Oboe and Sax but I've never had the patience to learn keys, why? Because all tutorials want me to start at the beginning with scales, I don't care about that. This great information and a lot of teachers could learn from this, I am using this to teach my son who is an impatient learner and needs this to get him playing but then he'll learn his fundamentals afterwards. Not everyone has the patience to learn scales...or even wants to. A good teacher (like you) understands everyone has different goals, some people just want to be able to play a few chords while others need the whole gamut because they want to be a concert pianist, discussing goals and realistic expectations is a really important part of successful learning.

  • @skvol
    @skvol Рік тому

    That is a fantastic tutorial, and right at the moment when I started feeling exhausted it proceeded with a crazy improvisation section which relaxed me and unleashed the desire to just dwell and explore the variations of a pentotonic scale. Thank you so much for that

    This video was amazing! As someone who has never attempted to learn an instrument before this was incredibly easy to follow and understand.
    It took so much brain power to coordinate my hands to move correctly for the chords. But after practicing the progression for even 10 minutes it felt much more natural.
    Can’t wait to keep working my way through your videos. Thank you!

  • @edzielinski
    @edzielinski 3 роки тому +65

    This is outstanding. I've been to a number of sites which cover learning piano, but this one actually includes some key foundational and technique principles, which you would normally get from a teacher. It's really important to learn proper technique from the start if you plan do get serious. I made that mistake self-learning guitar and had to "unlearn" a bunch of bad habits. Thanks for posting - I'll be checking out your other videos as well.

    Hey man, just wanna say this is by far the best tutorial I've found for piano online, both in terms of delivery and presentation. Such a shame your channel hasn't been discovered by more people like me (complete beginners!!!) - please don't stop what you're doing, it's so cool that this kind of content is on the public domain for people who can't afford lessons. Thanks! I look forward to improving under your tuition :)

      Glad you found it helpful man. Yes getting control of your fingers takes a bit of work and time to get used to but stick with it, it’s going to start feeling more natural with time. Check out the major scales playlist on my channel, starting with C as a good next step. Good luck!

    It's been almost a month since I finally started to learn the piano, out of all the videos so far this is one of the most important ones I've watched. Proper posture, hand and finger placement, I really needed to learn those and I really started to feel like I can be an advanced piano or keyboard player some day. I'm planning to play choir songs for my church in the future but for now I need to know the basics. Have a like and sub mate. 👍

  • @EvolvementEras
    @EvolvementEras 2 роки тому

    I just bought a small keyboard from a local Uber driver, random I know, and I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano. I’m 46 now, but when I was 10 I used to play clarinet though I don’t remember anything. I tried a couple other videos first that were recommended but they spent no time with learning where the notes were in respect to getting comfortable playing those notes with a specific fingers and I was totally lost with those videos. However, your video has made it that I feel not only comfortable at the pace you work but I actually feel like I’m learning something! I know it’s gonna take a long time to get to where I want to be, able to play as an outlet of creativity, and I’m very grateful for your videos and I know will help me build the foundations I need. Anybody got recommendations for a good sewing channel too?

  • @OhBoy.91
    @OhBoy.91 2 роки тому +1

    Thank you for taking time to put this video together for us that are intimidated by getting to learn how to play a piano. It's the best "intro to piano" I've come across, and it's helped me a ton. I appreciate the lack of unnecessary tricks and tips that always seemed to confuse me when watching other beginner videos. I've watched this a couple of times today while playing along, and I already feel that much more confident. I will continue to dedicate at least an hour of my day to my keyboard and hope to some day impress myself. Thanks again!

    this beginner lesson/session is amazing. I cant believe it only has 3000 views. this helped me get a grip of basic technique (hand fingers and coordination) and the keyboard as an instrument so much more than any of the other "beginner" lessons where they straight up just jump into random chord progressions without any explanations.
    you give simple instructions and give good amount of freedom to get used to playing. Just enough amount of basic tips to get started and feel comfortable.
    Absolutely love it!
