Could I ask a small favour - if you enjoyed the video, could you hit the ‘like’ button!
It really helps!!
its a crime that millions of people havnt found you sir. liked commented and on your video about chord iversions your gonna blow up fs.
One of the first things my piano tutor taught me. Although I only done one octave, right hand, left hand then both
Yo!!! I’m just glad I am on this channel before it blows up😃
Blooming heck, Adam! I can tell that once I've got my head around the last two exercises that this is going to be really good. This has encouraged me to dig out my Hanon book too.
Sounds great! Thanks Nick!!
Great video Adam , especially for self taught pianists ( like myself ) who sometimes struggle with knowing what to warm up and practice every day and have fun at the same time , thank you 😊👏
Thanks Patricia!
Started teaching myself about 3.5 years ago and these exercises and scales were a daily ritual. So glad I did , scales are burned into my brain. Also the hand & finger strength/dexterity was a massive help! Recently started to learn a bit of guitar and my piano exercises have paid off big time!!
Keep up the great work Adam, your channel should grow quickly because you're teaching the things people want to learn :).
Awesome! Thanks!!
You re awesome Sir !
Pleeaaaaase plz plz make aome videos with the right steps to accompaniment yourself while singing ! But in a level that actually sounds beautiful and rich and pro
Thank you for all your videos !!!
Thanks Adam, this is the kind of structure I need - and I just got a couple of your e-Books too! [Roger]
Fantastic! Thanks Roger!
Last one’s so fun😂!! Thanks
🙌 Glad you enjoyed!
Fun and Effective...Warm Up Ever...❤❤
Great video, thank you for making my piano lessons become more fun
My pleasure!
I know this is bit hand holding but I think it would really useful of the triad / circle of 5th exercise to stipulate a direction up/down etc on each chord change ( like you did on another chord exercise video). Cleary in the long run you need to be comfortable moving up or down to a chord and I guess make artistic choices on how that sounds etc. I think I'll slow it down so to start with I can follow what you are doing.
Good idea - thanks Craig!
As usual great lesson !! So glad I found you before. I will practice everything. 🥰🙏
You’re welcome!
Dear Adam, thanks for your teaching! It‘s always a pleasure to Watch and learn!
One question: How much Time You spend on the Piano Daily, for „exercise“ and „Play“?
Hi! Glad you're finding these videos useful! It really varies! Much of my work is as a player/songwriter/teacher - so it really does depend. But just for pure practice I usually find an hour a day is good going!
Another useful video. What's the strength of the '2 Shape'? ... Is this a lead-in to doing a similar thing with 3, 4, 6 & 7 (so we eventually play each note in the scale with the two hands combined)? How about moving round the circle through inversions? 1st inversion all around.. OR root for C, 1st inversion for G, 3rd inversion for D, etc... and what about minors, diminished, etc.. I can see this becoming huge very quickly 😁
Glad you found it useful! Yeah exactly - I’ve got a number of exercises like that as well… it soon gets huge indeed! Thanks for watching!
1st 4 yes I can do, last 2 ..... lots of work..... as I am truly a newbie beginner. Thanks
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
🙏🙏🙏
I just discovered your channel, and subbed. Great stuff.
Why is your left hand "weaker" on the piano? Maybe it's not your hand, but your mind. You seem to be a very musical person, so you might have melodies in your head. (BTW, I don't. I think I have Aural Aphantasia, but I keep trying to play the piano and ukulele despite this).
What you might need to do is practice melodic pieces in your left hand. Try playing viola concertos. Or play the Prélude in Do Majeure with just your left hand for a while. I bet once you do that for a couple weeks you'll find a difference.
😮
The reason our left hand is weak is because we tend to start every exercise on the right hand and always put max effort. By the time we do the same exercise on left hand we are already tired and put lesser effort sometimes not even half the time we spend on the right hand. It happens naturally and we unconsciously doing it again and again making our left hand weaker than the right one.
Very true! Thanks!
Hi Adam Again what a fun, challenging video. I am ok with all the exercises up until the last one. I really struggle to change keys that quickly and with the syncopated rhythm on top, just to make it a little easier NOT! I struggle with syncopation when looking at the notation so once I got the riff down, I shall certainly try that without the notation.
You really make it fun. I wish I was taught to practise my scales like this back in the 70's when I started the piano. Piano would have much more fun for sure. Thank goodness music teachers and teaching has moved on, enhanced and delivery has improved.
I really only started to play my scales like this not so long ago. I really didn't know we should be playing them in this way to drill down the key. It really helps! Of course I used to make my own rhythms up when I was bored but on the whole it would have been straight boring scales, arpeggios and broken chords!
I really do wish you had been my teacher but that would have been impossible being as you are probably 20 years, at least, my junior lol! And the 70's were a lonnnnngggggggggg time ago lol!
Thank you once again. Love your videos. Can't wait for the community participation etc.
Ah so glad you enjoyed this one! Yes those syncopated rhythms are challenging at the end - something to work towards!
Thanks so much for all your support with the channel!
