    When I went through the five finger exercises', I said to myself, there has got to be a better way. I soon found that yes there was. It uses the ear as a guide to the development of chords outside the standard harmonic standard. I first had to clear my mind of what piano teachers deem correct and expand my mind to accept a wider idea of what is musical. although it took lots of practice it was not too long to find a whole new approach time signatures, chord changes, and development section, in a new look at music. These changes led me to writing music for 6 ballet companies in New York City.

    I.m new, all green. I have had a passion for playing for a long time. I sang with a gospel group for a while and that really reminded me of spending my piano lesson on a pool game when I was young. So long story short, here I am and I think you are a fantastic instructor and I will be communicating with you in the near future and Thanks a million!

    I started teaching myself piano a couple of years ago with UA-cam then I stopped. Did it for a couple of months but did not progress much. Now I thought about starting again and I found your video. This is a great way to practice since I didn't know what to do before. My biggest challenge is keeping all of my fingers on the correct keys at I go up and down the piano especially my pinkies and ring fingers. I am also 62 and disabled and my hand dexterity is not as good as it used to be

    C major scale may be the easiest to understand the backbone concept of how scales are formed by sight and ear using semitones and tones, and then translate that to the remaining 11 scales. But this is the first time I understand the reason for using D flat scale even though initially it looks dauntingly difficult - it is to familiarise the beginner with finger work playing by synchronising the usage of both thumbs

    Great information. I am a 65 year old man who's been dabbling with guitar and other instruments for the past few years. I've learned a lot but putting it together on any instrument is a painful struggle with not any truly satisfying outcomes. I began keyboard last December and like other instruments the struggle is the same. I like the way you started out with the warm up routine and then move forward to further steps. Thanks for sharing your experience and teaching progress. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.!

    I purchased the book you recommended and got it yesterday. Its amazing, thank you so much for that recommendation. Its good to get information from various places to see the explanations provided in different ways. Some of the things they talk about I have no clue about, like a 'Dominant seventh arpeggio', but that will come in time.
    Your series plus my weekly instruction is really helping.
    As an aside, I'm listening to music a totally different way since I started learning piano. While I might not be able to name chords being played, I recognize them and the progressions in the music. Great stuff!
    [edit] Oh,as far as problems I have, I find myself getting bored of practicing after about 30-40 minutes, especially if I am getting frustrated with not getting one thing right, and I keep doing it over and over. I found that if i break up my practicing into smaller blocks that helps overcome the boredom issue, as well as allows my brain to digest what I have been doing. Two sessions of 20 minutes per day seems better than one long 40-50 minute session.

    • @pianoly
      @pianoly  Рік тому +7

    Slowly play during my lessons from the app I’m not quite a beginner nor intermediate I’m in between the two since I started making beats in 2014 with no music background I’ve been studying chords since then now I’m learning to play the piano it’s been two months that I’ve started actually playing and I’m a little bit to fast for the piano teaching apps I use to the point they don’t pick up on the note and mark it wrong and reading each note a little tricky sometimes

    I almost completely self-taught. I did take lessons years ago when my daughter took them. I have been pushing pretty hard these last few years to regain what I lost when I didn't have any real direction and had to apply my time to my nursing role. Now that I am retired, I try for at least 2 hours a day. But now my memory doesn't work as well. I have applied all the hard work and diligence you advocate in your videos.
    I have watched a lot of great videos and learned a great deal. I do tend to get bored and struggle with any program for too long. have developed good sight-reading habits and learned all the notes on the keyboard. Now I am learning the scales. I like how you direct your students to learn the scales and the chords. I have worked hard to learn those chords but I am not solid even on the c major scale chords. Seeing you play them and playing along with you, does really help me to make sense of it all. And now I know how to use the damper pedal.
    I love how you use chords to figure out the songs. I would love to develop that skill. I do plan to use your videos for direction so I can get this skill and play more of what I love without having to break down all the music of the songs I really want to learn and play.
    You are a lovely teacher with a lot of talent and a beautiful voice. I am not so lucky. I struggle with to sing and always have. But being able to play music and songs in my key is what drives me to play the piano. Even without a good voice. I still love to sing to my music. Thank you for all your hard work and efforts. it has been a challenge to find a piano teacher that will mentor older students.
    I can see my motivation and my direction improve a lot following your videos.

  • @blaupunkt1619
    @blaupunkt1619 Рік тому +1

    One of the best videos about practice routine I've seen. In my opinion, you're absolutely right: we ought to start with warm up + scales + chords. I'd also add arpeggios of that particular scale as well, followed by one Hanon exercise. Then, and only then, we could kick off our "real study" - I mean, any method in particular (books, videos, one-on-one lesson etc) and repertoire. Best regards!

    Hello Kaitlyn, As I have chubby hands with short fingers, should I practice my chords (ex. C Major, etc...) with my right-hand fingers 1 2 4 instead of 1 3 5, because it seems easier for me. Or should I keep using 1 3 5? Remember, I am a real beginner, I just bought my first keyboard. What about my left hand... Which fingers should I use? I have a long way to go, and I want to start on "the right note". Buy the way, thank you so much for everything (videos, cheat sheets, etc.). You'll be,for sure, very helpful!

    Hey Katelyn, you are the best... I accidentally came across your channel by chance and subscribed immediately.
    Why? because you really simplify things that people who are competent can easily do,so they assume that beginners can do the same.
    I have an advantage,because I am actually a musician who actually am familiar with most things on the piano.
    But your lessons are teaching me little techniques I’m not aware of.

    I will try to comment again as my last didn't seem to save here. Had a passion to play piano for yr and love esp soft relaxing songs and some classic hits. Now retired with more time to learn but harder of course. No formal lessons yet except from some into bks but now mostly UA-cam. But very overwhelming with so many version available have tried and then get stuck and frustrated. I do love your warming exercises and will try all them. I am so anxious to learn some songs right away to give me confidence. I like your demo on "Imagine". But hard to tell some of the notes you are playing on chords such as CMaj7. I figure this must be an inversion but the graphics to not state that. Do you other videos get into more detail? Thank you Kaitlyn. Bruce

    Love your videos. 66yo who took lessons for 7 years as child ( took summers off to play outside). I have no speed on the keys and struggle with songs in keys with lots of sharps or flats. I have no routine for practice and I enjoy playing but I truly never master any favorite songs enough to play in front of others. I make too many mistakes and maybe I’m trying to master something beyond my level of expertise. I also have trouble singing along while just playing the chords. I’ve always just played r.h. Melody and l.h. Harmony. I am not sure w😊here to start backtracking to instruction I missed as a youngster. Any recommendations appreciated.
