    Hello, Iam a 74 years old grany, I got a 61 keys keyboard for Christmas and starting to learn to play with your videos, I practice nearly every day, and just starting to understand as you say, this new wanderful language, this new video is very helpful for begginers like me, if I get better at playing, and I know I will take a long time, I may invest in a 88 keys piano, and maybe one of my grandchildren will use it in the future. Thank you for your help, all your videos are interesting and easy to understand 🙏🙏

      I'm a 65 year old Dad that just got my 61 keys keyboard. My Mom bought herself a piano at 65 years and taught herself, but there was no You Tube at the time. She played until at least 87, even with arthritis. In fact, it helped her. More power to you.

    Very good of you to post a video aimed at true beginners. I know from prior experience that are not enough of these on UA-cam, especially delivered in such a succinct and easy to digest way. Getting a beginner playing a chord progression right away will give them so much motivation. Great job.

I loved how you didnt just show how to play, but explained the how and why in depth that is easy to understand. Thank you so much sir👏

    I took piano lessons as a teenager and decided to play again after being away from the piano for 45 years! I am taking lessons over Zoom, but I was also looking for tips and tricks I used when younger. I love your videos as they are short and to the point. It seems that they would apply to players at many different levels. I'm watching your videos from the beginning and finding them extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and dedication.

    Thank you Jazer for these lessons. Not only do you pass on your experiences and lessons to us beginners but you take your time and repeat it so we get it. Most piano tutors don’t do that. They go through the lesson in one go and I have to constantly rewind just to get the gist of it. With you I get it in one go and can enjoy the lessons. Thank you so much.

    Mr jazer I don't know any thing about piano so I bought a keyboard. Always hard this passion inside of me to play the piano but because poor financial background never had the opportunity. So I started looking at videos on UA-cam there was a video connecting drawings of people with notes from C-B and leaned them quickly. I then found your videos which is now teaching me much more thank you

    Jazer , My daughter Sophia is learning piano at school, I've had an interest in the piano for a long time and now's the time to jump in and give it a go.
    The plan is to give Sophia encouragement and what better way to encourage her dad to learn beside her. You made it a little easier for me, thanks for all the help.

    Lol as someone who has never played an instrument before, I dove right into this and started following tutorials and learning songs without actually ever learning any of these basics. Then I saw one of your videos about Hanon exercises and bought the book. Little did I know it would make zero sense to me. Had to come back and learn the basics. Now I know what he means when he talks about the numbers of the fingers. 🤣. Thanks friend. Keep up the amazing content! It’s incredibly helpful.

    My daughter is a rock singer and performs many times per week, so she replaced her older Yamaha full keyboard cause 3 of the highest keys no longer play. But it's GREAT for me cause I don't use the right end of the keyboard anyway. She gave me the Yamaha and I practice til my fingers ache, then stop for a while. But am irresistibly drawn to practicing at all times of the day. So glad to find Jazer. Isn't You-Tube GREAT for music lovers? Any music you want to hear is on You-Tube and all kinds of lessons also.

    Hi Jazer! I am 48 years old and have always wanted to learn how to play the piano but I never thought I could. Well, I have taken my first steps using this video and I was so excited once I got this four chord part down. I'm happy I found your channel and that you are putting out videos like this for newbies like me. I have one question. I have an absolute HORRIBLE time trying to keep all of my fingers grounded on the keyboard. Are there any tips or techniques you can suggest to help fix this other then sure willpower? Thank you and keep up the good work. You have a subscriber in me!

    • @jazerleepiano
      @jazerleepiano  3 роки тому +4

      Hi Misfit7021! I know that feeling when I first started learning the piano. It does take some skill, a lot of practice and you said it, willpower, to keep the fingers in the correct position on the keyboard. Notice I didn't say above. The hands must be slightly cupped with your fingers slightly resting on the surface of the keys. I have some videos on fingering, finger exercises and proper techniques. Do check them out on this channel. 🤓
