Almost 60 and just getting started on piano. This was VERY helpful. I’ve also signed up for a couple of your online lessons. Just wanting to be a chord player, not classical. Thank you!
IMO it's a bit easier..the fingering sequence should be 1234 where finger 4 is on the b flat (towards the right side of the key not dead centre on the top) and you'll notice there is a slight arch created in your hand for the thumb to cross underneath...also don't raise the elbow as you cross the thumb underneath but rather just start shifting the hand so the thumb lands on the C without the elbow raising...
Lisa!!!! Lisa!!! LISA!!!!! Omg, you helped my brain figure this out!!! Love the step by step...or finger by finger approach you gave us!!! I've tried many other videos from other piano teachers and yours was THE MOST HELPFUL to me!!!! Thank you!!!! 🤗Huggs!
Hi i have really struggled to get the right way to play the scale Being blind made me fail to understand other people because their explanation was had to memorise Thank you because you have helped me God bless you vrittings from uganda.
just turned 67 and finally allocated some time to learning some keyboard skills and also gain some understanding of how to read music - just like recent dancing lessons it feels like I have two left hands which at least is better than two right hands, being right handed that hand has just too many previous skills embedded and will need a serious re-calibration while the left hand is like a low mileage Rolls only ever driven carefully and is very smooth in comparison - thankfully I have found a wonderful channel to help kick off this venture - thanks Lisa
Hi Lisa!! Another great lesson. Yes this definitely helps. Thank you for posting it. Can you give us some more examples of the proper fingering for other scales, when it involves the black key (s) ?
I made the 100th comment 😉😊 I wish I had known this lesson earlier... It would have saved me a lot of times when my fingers got interlocked and also when I couldn't progress because the song requires the use of both hands SIMULTANEOUSLY!
As for playing with purpose, after studying videos of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, and those who play with sunglasses, like Elton John, I decided to play with my fingers up between the black keys as they do. They have no other way to know which key is which. Do that, and you have to press down much harder. Gives your fingers a workout.
Thank you! I've been learning on simply piano app and it taught scales on the right and not the left and I am started to struggle as the music difficulty increases with the scales.
God it's so hard to fight the urge to not use your thumb on the left hand for the next note and to use the index instead, when you're doing the thumb crossover on the right hand 😂
Thank you and that's great but I had mastered one octave but then I was told I should be playing 2 octaves which is a challenge as its a different patterns.
Hi Lisa! At first, a great and useful lesson. However what are you thought that some pianist with other techniques, don´t recommend this thumb crossing technique? Are there bad things of it?
I'm aware some other teachers prefer a thumb "jump" or hop. That can help more advanced players with speed. But I do believe for beginners the thumb tuck is a correct technique that helps with fingering and development.
My issue is tempo I can play any of the major scales either hand as pretty good tempo (well good for me), but as soon as I play both hands the tempo has to drop. Same when doing contrary motion have to slow way down. Even chromatic scale both hands, have to slow down and especially chromatic scale in contrary motion. Should I just accept the tempo difference and know one day things will catch up?
That is SUPER common. It happens all the time. Your brain suddenly has to double its thinking capacity. I know it can be frustrating because "physically" your hands can play faster. It takes a little time but if you keep practicing hands together they WILL catch up!
The exercise I have here is a little more difficult. It goes two or more scales to the right and then to the left. The other exercise the left hand goes two scales to the right and the rught two scales to the left and both meet in the middle. And the other exercises are still more difficult. I had to right the numbers of some fingers that were missing and I may have committed a mistake here. I felt like some cartoon character, very awkward with my fingers. That's not I see myself, Type fast and I do very complicated crochet. When it comes to the piano everything turns awkward. It seems my left hand is better than the right sometimes. I turn my head left when swimming. I have a problem in hearing and it must be treated by a doctor. I can hear even dog whistle, but I cannot reproduce songs singing well like other people. I cannot remember some notes. I have problem in understanding some people and it has not to do with the language. My native language is Portuguese, but I cannot understand some Brazilians. This causes me some difficulties especially on the phone. Thank you for the explanation. I will try again. Your hair is crazy. Don't use those chemicals, please.
Im just learning how to play the piano. single handed...I can play the C scale with no problem....it's when i try to do it with both hands that my brain starts working overtime....But its strangely satisfying....i can't quite put my finger on it....no pun intended. .😂😂😂
It took a while to get my 61 key midi. So, I created a 2 octave keyboard out of cardboard and learned how to tuck my thumb before I got my keyboard. I was also practicing my C and D scale on it. I was better prepared for my keyboard, as a result of that cardboard imposter. Take an envelop and put some money in it every week and start saving for your dream. You got this.

Hi Jim, I am 60 next year and I just started today! Very best of luck. This lady is a great teacher.
I wished the thumb tuck was as easy and smooth on the f scale as it is on the C scale..LOL

@@jcwpiano woow nice advise thnk you very much💯💯
@King Logan definitely, have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :)
I wish I had learned the thumb tuck before a week ago, lol

Hands together is very cool. A nice bonus for me just trying to figure out the proper way to move across the scales with my left hand!
Hi i have really struggled to get the right way to play the scale
Being blind made me fail to understand other people because their explanation was had to memorise
Thank you because you have helped me
God bless you vrittings from uganda.
Very clear lesson. Great enthusiasm too. Thanks

I’m just learning to play scales with both hands and I found it interesting. I’ll practice - thanks. 👍
Awesome teaching, both physical & mental. Thank You So Much

Same
Brilliant. This has been driving me nuts!
This is absolutely what I needed! Thank you!
Very helpful! My 13 year old is going to give it a go! Thank you for your advice!!
This is what I was searching for. Thanks for the lesson.
Love your simplistic
teaching style
Great place to start. Thanks xx

Always love your tutorial mam😊 thanks!

Do that, and you have to press down much harder. Gives your fingers a workout.
Thank you.
Ok I’m getting the course and following it cause this is driving me crazy
Wow thank you so much for this lesson :) I just set up a midi keyboard controller and this is a very cool foundational starting point.
Definitely helped thank you 💜
this helped so much! your awesome
That drill is really useful, especially for the different scales as Black keys are added. I will start using it. Thank you 😊
Really helpful thank you, doing two octaves is still a challenge but I'm sure with the same principles I'll be flying soon 🙏
You gives a lot of hope..Teachah🧘
And tell me please how to go fingers up and down throught octaves, in SCaLeS.
Trying many thanks, i did not figuer it out by myself !!! Very important because i am trying to learn the piano online !!!
Thank you! I've been learning on simply piano app and it taught scales on the right and not the left and I am started to struggle as the music difficulty increases with the scales.
VERY helpful!!
Very well explained thank you 👍🏻
i like this drill exercise....
Tuck thumb on 3! What a difference…cross also at 3-will watch this a hundred times! Thanks
Wow! Thanks.
Thank you for this
Thanks so much! This technique helped me a lot!
Thank you so much, Stuart Mckenzie has learnt the piano. The world can change.
Thanks!
This really helped. Thanks!
Thank you
Thank you,
Thank you for all tips
This lesson has worked for me !!!!
10/10 tutorial !
Your very good!
This is great. What do I do if I want to play two octaves after finger 5?
Is there a separate link to all of your (UA-cam videos-you alone)?
VERY HELPFUL!!!
Thank you. :)
I’m recently starting out! I will practice this definitely! Thanks a LOT
God it's so hard to fight the urge to not use your thumb on the left hand for the next note and to use the index instead, when you're doing the thumb crossover on the right hand 😂
That was so helpful
Thanks. Have a nice day.
Thanks...
Great host
Thank you and that's great but I had mastered one octave but then I was told I should be playing 2 octaves which is a challenge as its a different patterns.
So then, is it the same fingering for all the other keys??? Thanks!
Isss goood! Potato! All kidding aside, this is very good, Thank you!
How about a different scale with black keys?
Thank you:d :X
TQ very much
You are awesome
I wanna give 100 times like on a single video.
But If you want to go up further the scale you don’t use pinky?
Hi Lisa! At first, a great and useful lesson. However what are you thought that some pianist with other techniques, don´t recommend this thumb crossing technique? Are there bad things of it?
I'm aware some other teachers prefer a thumb "jump" or hop. That can help more advanced players with speed. But I do believe for beginners the thumb tuck is a correct technique that helps with fingering and development.
@@PianoteOfficial then as a beginner I will go for the thumb tuck, then go for the more advanced technique.
I just learned this the same way before I saw this video. I guess it’s common sense to gradually add a note.
My issue is tempo I can play any of the major scales either hand as pretty good tempo (well good for me), but as soon as I play both hands the tempo has to drop. Same when doing contrary motion have to slow way down. Even chromatic scale both hands, have to slow down and especially chromatic scale in contrary motion.

That is SUPER common. It happens all the time. Your brain suddenly has to double its thinking capacity. I know it can be frustrating because "physically" your hands can play faster. It takes a little time but if you keep practicing hands together they WILL catch up!
how do i do more than one octave??
B scale in the right and F scale in the left hand, those are pretty messy. Can't do the carry on third finger.
But what about other scales?
The exercise I have here is a little more difficult. It goes two or more scales to the right and then to the left.
The other exercise the left hand goes two scales to the right and the rught two scales to the left and both meet in the middle.
And the other exercises are still more difficult.
I had to right the numbers of some fingers that were missing and I may have committed a mistake here.
I felt like some cartoon character, very awkward with my fingers. That's not I see myself, Type fast and I do very complicated crochet. When it comes to the piano everything turns awkward.
It seems my left hand is better than the right sometimes. I turn my head left when swimming.
I have a problem in hearing and it must be treated by a doctor. I can hear even dog whistle, but I cannot reproduce songs singing well like other people. I cannot remember some notes.
I have problem in understanding some people and it has not to do with the language. My native language is Portuguese, but I cannot understand some Brazilians. This causes me some difficulties especially on the phone.
Thank you for the explanation. I will try again.
Your hair is crazy. Don't use those chemicals, please.
I've been looking for a video like this for ages... unfortunately, I sold my keyboard 🥴
There are seven notes in the scale then the octave
Enjoyed that, but I still don’t know what other scales there are? I’m proficient in the C scale but don’t know how many more there are? Thanks again.
Thank you Dear
Its easy to do 1 octave like this the harder part is doing multiple octaves.
Not in awhile but let's see what happens when I start the minor scales:)
I want to play like Joey DiFranchesco....hope this tutorial helps
Im just learning how to play the piano. single handed...I can play the C scale with no problem....it's when i try to do it with both hands that my brain starts working overtime....But its strangely satisfying....i can't quite put my finger on it....no pun intended. .😂😂😂
5:30
This is gonna take a long practice 😅
Bruh I learned it all wrong so now I have to learn it the right way, this way.
i love your hair lol
I only finished the C Scale it gave me so much headache🤣
i need a keyboard
How much invest? You
cost?
@@josephmathew308$100
@ you'll get only a 4 octave piano, butt still medium quality.
@@hossainnahdi2905 yeah but I'm looking a 8 octave
She is so cute.
She has something from Drew Barrymore.
i want to be a keyboardist...but dont have money to buy keyboard...life is not fair
Some people literally give pianos away for nothing.
You can buy a piano for under 100$

Try to buy cheap keyboard first for practice.
