FINALLY, someone who understands how to make a video for beginners! This is fantastic! Thank You!

P
This video is just what i need
Couldnt agree more!
I completely agree every other video I watch is like expecting a toddler to play Fur Elise within a 2 second total piano playtime
Zack, I have always wanted to learn to play the piano since I was a kid. I am now 70 years old and that dream has not become a reality. I sing acapella 'base"
It hurts big time that I am not playing piano. I have seen many videos, had lessons and still I lack the motivation to practice until now. I came across your video and instantly became motivated to make this happen. I've already downloaded the exercises. I feel the chord progression is my best but I am motivated to use them all. If I could just play 3 songs, I would be happy, but WILL this exercise WILL motivate me to do much more. I can now see my dream coming true.
Thank You Zack!!
My story too
Me too!
aw man :(
Me too 😁
And me too..i am 51 year old...i will keep trying..😍🥑😂
I love how you are being realistic with the time windowing when it comes to learning new things. So many of the videos in UA-cam are saying "LEARN TO BE A PIANO EXPERT IN JUST 10MINS" or some bs like that. But you are using phrases like "in a couple of months" or "do this for few days", i love that!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video! 🎹
I'm a guitar player of thirty years who has recently dislocated my biceps muscle in a freak genetic series of events. It's been two months since I've been able to hold a guitar (which feels like a million months to a music addict like myself). I recently realized that it's not too painful to play piano because of the different muscle groups used. This video is the first I've truly watched through and it's getting me pumped to re-start my musical journey with a new instrument. Thanks so much for the content! I will be watching everything you have now.
As a new elementary music teacher trying to "relearn" how to play piano...this is GOLD! I cannot wait to get started! Thank you so much!!
Also, the daily practice will be so helpful.. I'm eager to fill my 5-7 Motivation Method Goal Sheet! Can't wait to impress my students! :)

I am a 51 year young beginner and I really look forward to practicing these exercises. It's simple and achievable!
5 fingers here I go!
Awesome Christianne. 51 and still learning, love it! Keep up the great work! 🎹
I’d like to take a second and just appreciate this guy and his videos. I bought a keyboard having never played before and seeing how terrible I was right out of the gate, I felt a bit discouraged. Then I decided I would just give it a couple hours every weekend and just not judge myself, just immerse myself in the process. Then I came across this video and thought “I can spare 10 minutes a day as well.” It’s amazing how quickly you can improve when you break it down like that. Thank you for these awesome videos to help!
Awesome Scott. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
I’ve been playing a whole 1 week. Have had 1 whole lesson. I just subscribed to your channel! New adventure for this 70 y.o.
Me too, Pam. I'm going to be 72 and this is perfect for me. I'm learning fast.
Do you know you're a total lifesaver? I got "volun-told" to be on keyboards for a new country music group that's wanting to be ready to gig in 9 months. The last time I played a piano was 25 years ago. This video has given me confidence that I should be in good shape. Whewwwwwww!!! Thank you for simplifying the process of getting back into the swing of things!
For finger exercises, probably the most used publication is the Hanon Finger Exercises. The full name is "Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist in Sixty Lessons". The very first exercises are similarly simple and easy like the five finger exercise shown in this UA-cam. And, in my opinion, a little nicer to listen to. They get more and more difficult as you work through the book. But just doing the first one or the first few will help a lot. The exercises are designed to develop equal finger strength and improve technique. My mother was a professional concert pianist (solo performances at Orchestral Hall in Chicago, for example) and she ALWAYS began a practice session doing maybe a half dozen of the Hanon exercises. And if she was having some specific difficulty with a piece, such a certain trill, she would go to the exercise that addressed that issue to solve the problem.
Thanks. I'll check it out
I agree I recently went back to Hanon and do them for warm up before playing. at least the first 10 lol, but yea, you'll feel the level up in your dexterity by the time you get to the 3rd exercise and they're short and can be played in a variety of tempos and even styles.
I checked out Hanon after reading your comment, and only after a few exercises I can feel the difference. Thanks, Charles! Have a wonderful life.
@@divinesolstice3744 can u recommend some videos so I can learn it?
@@ShashwatNegi can u recommend some videos?
Just got a piano. Always wanted to learn and never could. Turns out I remembered I am an adult and no one can stop me this time. So here I am. Subscribed. ❤❤❤❤
I raelly need a beginner version of this beginner version😅😅
You lazy lout 😂😂😂😂😂
😂
This is what I need, learn from an actual song. It really makes me motivated as a beginner. Please make this 'learn from an actual song' tutorial as a routine (1 song per week) and put it in a playlist if you don't mind. I really like this video. Thank you 🙏🏻😁
You just changed my world and made me feel like this is actually achievable. I've been a professional vocalist and vocal technique instructor for over 20 years and I relate to the way you educate 😍😍😍😍😍. I subscribed immediately after this and I'm going to print the cheat sheets right away! Thank you for sharing this!
FINALLY… I found someone who made Videos for beginner … Thanks u so much …
I'm an adult learner and todays my first practice day😊. My favorite exercises are the finger exercises. I also like the others as well. You've made things so simple! Thank you
Zach I can't thank you enough for your amazing videos! I'm 54 and am just learning piano. Thanks to you, I'm killing the scales and am enjoying learning so much with your help. Three cheers from Canada!
Hi Zach. Thanks so much for this video and all of your UA-cam videos. I’m a 61 year old beginner and you’ve got me motivated and practicing for at least an hour a day. After three weeks I’ve noticed a big improvement. Your teaching skills are perfect.
The improv technique is an absolute game changer for me. My family thinks I’m a musical genius now. Thank you.
Awesome Joseph. Glad you liked the video! 🎹
Trust me! This is one of, or perhaps the best piano tutorial video that I have watched. Man! You are not only good at playing, but at teaching and motivating. More power to you. Keep it up!
Thanks. Glad you liked the video! 🎹
@@becomeapianosuperhuman6765 Please what if I am really tired and depressed and not motivated and get bored and distracted quickly..how can I learn faster and make it fun and enjoyable? Thanks Thanks sharing.
YES. I LIKE. THIS. MAKE. UP MY OWN TUNES😊😊😊😊😊
I am beginning to play again since I was 12, and now in my 60s I am learning so much from your techniques Thank You Zach
Help please. Any professional pianists here? Is his rolling wrist pinky style correct?
I bought a piano 15 yrs ago and im still beginner. 😔 hope im going to start this time for real ❤️
Your method is amazing and you sound very genuine,
Thanks so much❤️❤️
I'm 71 now and am drawing on 5 years of piano lessons in my childhood. Your plan is the perfect one for me.... especially since it incorporates daily improv... FREEDOM! Thank you SO MUCH for making these free, Zach.
Thank you for this! I’m 22 years old and just started teaching myself at home for the past week, this is going to help me a lot! Your video was clear and detailed, thank you!!! I will definitely be making that 5-7 sheet
I'm on day two of learning piano and I've made more progress today through this video than 3hours yesterday, phenomenal lesson! Your a great teacher!
This is so on target! I feel so lucky I found this video. I practiced as a kid and wasn't that into it. Now as an adult I want to learn, but also find that good fit for a busy life. I love the wrist awareness technique for the pinky. Can't wait to see what is possible this year! Thank You!
After not playing for years because everytime i practiced I would get discouraged... Today I sang and played a (simplified) version of one of my favourite songs ever! I am pretty blown away by this video. Thank you for this!!
Awesome. Keep up the great work! 🎹
I love hearing a piano being played. It is so relaxing to me, so I have always wanted to learn how to play. I just got our church piano fixed today and started watching your detailed teaching. I really enjoy them! Thank you so much for going in detail. Like you have said, during my search I found that there is many that doesn't go into full detail like you do... I look forward to learning from you. Thank you again, May God Bless you!
I am so excited to try improv. I never thought I could do this! You are SUCH a GREAT teacher. I feel like you are an instructor and a cheerleader rolled into one!
So I started piano, and music theory, at age 68 back in April 2022. I found Zach’s channel pretty quickly and made a little progress, enough to find a local instructor. After a few months of lessons I ran across this video and realize Zach is a great teacher. I’ll probably take a break from my instructor this fall (I’m super busy from September through February) but will continue my daily practice with my two favorite UA-cam instructors. Zach, your left hand blues pattern, and common chord cheat sheets, actually put me ahead of the game. Thanks much!
Who's your other favorite UA-cam teacher?
I’m a 70 yr OLD man that has always wanted to learn piano. You have inspired me to get started- it’s never too late, folks!
Man, this is a total crash course for those who are starting out just like me. The drills are so useful in the long run. Keep up the good work, sir!
I am 52 years old and have no music skill what so ever. I came across you video and Finally I understood that I don’t have to have a talent for music, if there is a will there is a way. Thank you Zack, your teaching skills is motivating me to practice. We are never to old to learn new things, after all practice makes us perfect. God bless.
Zach, You are my favorit piano teacher. I've watched and practicing some of your videos during the pandemic and your videos help me to play a keyboard again after a long time. Now I try to practice classical music at home and your methode suits for me. I begin to start with slow tempo, repeat it, fingering, and practice step by step with two hands. It's challenging because I use to sing and never had a piano class before. Thank's, Zach. Greetings from Indonesia 😊
I've been self taught to play with my right hand since a kid. I'm 52 now. I play guitar too as my main instrument but I got a keyboard a year ago to help with songwriting and midi. Of course I started playing my own songs that I wrote on guitar, using shapes without really knowing the notes on guitar. I been learning so much on keys as far as understanding the relationships between chords so much better. My main issue is getting my left hand to keep up. This has really helped me begin to break through, which is helping me with my own song composition, using the keys as an accompaniment instrument. I need to learn more left hand patterns. Thanks for this simple exercise. Improve is my favorite part.
Awesome. Glad you liked the video. Keep up the great work! 🎹
Again so many thanks Zach for creating the work sheet. I have printed out this very useful daily tally sheet to record my daily work and practice routines in the 3 categories listed on the sheet. I am into my 11th day of playing piano and just loving it. I feel really excited and inspired to be learning piano with you.
omg, I LOVE the chord progression technique. As begginer piano player, I feel like it gives me the chance to "taste" the notes and the chords of my favourite songs, just like it was when I started learning the guitar 17 yers ago. Amazing tips, thank you so much for the worksheets, as well :)
Awesome Monique!! So glad you liked the video!
I literally love everything about this video how I’m depth you are about proper technique for beginners like me so we start to learn efficiently right off the bat! Not to mention the cheat sheets we can print off and follow along with the video!! I greatly appreciate this thank you so much!! 🥰
I just love these lessons. This is my third time trying to learn piano - I'm 68 years old and trying again. But you make it doable and interesting. It makes sense to me the way you do it - THANK YOU!!!
Thank you very much! You are the only channel that really made a difference for me. I am 53 and stared for about 3 months now and it is only now that i found a sembalance of direction in my practices
The “secret” is regular practice. 😄 I’m motivated.
I love learning the fun stuff first.
Thank you! The fun lessons I never had. Lite on the theory and heavy on the how. I like learning how to doing something then learning why. An example is how you showed how to play five note scales. Then you told why a person should roll their wrist. I’m excited to learn more.
You are the first UA-camr who has gotten me to click the link snd download something! Your motivation and teaching/coaching skills are a gift from God!
As an adult beginner I find these excercises so practical that I think there is still hope for me after all!
Hi Zach, I love both the easy chord progression as well as the improv style. You gave me some food for thought. Thank you. You really try and keep us motivated.
I appreciate the kind words Tania!! Thanks so much
Thsnk you. Love the cheat sheet to pick the chords and repeating practice. Left hand 5 1 5 1. Practice makes perfect.
Absolutely!!
I used to play the keyboard till my college days. But then the race to make life "better" took a different course. Recently I wanted to get back to it and went ahead and got a new keyboard. So glad I came across this video right at the start. I did this for 4 weeks now, mostly 5 days a week like you mentioned would happen. And this helped my fingers so much. The tension is quite relaxed now and the finger placement is pretty accurate on the keys. Thank you!
What an absolutely brilliant video! I've struggled so much with the weak pinkie. Love the 'play from the wrist' concept. I'll be trying this routine for sure
This is the most useful and practical UA-cam piano lesson I have ever seen. Thanks man!
Chord progression is what I was looking for... most excited to practice
e been self taught to play with my right hand since a kid. I'm 52 now. I play guitar too as my main instrument but I got a keyboard a year ago to help with songwriting and midi.

I’m so excited about improv because I love being creative! This is just what I needed!
I started watching Zac's videos and practicing two weeks ago, I missed one day and felt Like I let Zac down🤦🏼♂️😂.. Your a great teacher, thanks mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 cmon everyone keep practicing WE WILL ALL GET THERE 100%
This is my first time on a piano and could not find a beginners video that I could relate to until I came across this video. This is truly a great beginners video. Thank you so much Zach. I WILL be recommending your videos. I forgot to mention that my wife got me a piano because I told her I would like to learn how to play some day; plus, I have never played an instrument.
Are you still practicing? Keep fighting!!
This video has enough quality content for beginners that I’m actually surprised it’s free for the public. God bless you sir. Thank you for giving back to the community. ❤
Thanks. Glad you found the video helpful! 🎹
I was very nervous about buying a new piano and learning how to play it. This video gave me the initial confidence boost I needed. Thank you!
This guy really makes a lot of sense, very easy to understand and very encouraging. Thank you so much
とてもステキなレッスン。
ありがとうございます♪
Adult beginner here, super excited to have found your tutorials! They say I should make a video series of my progression to stay inspired and moving forward...
I've tried several tutorials, I think you're the best. I believe all beginners can practice easily. Many thanks for your dedication. 🙏👍❤️
As a guitarist of 30 years, and playing bass in several gigging bands throughout the last 3+ years, I decided I wanted to learn to play piano/keyboard. I actually stumbled on this video while researching keyboard stands! Haha
Even without a keyboard in front of me, I was able to understand and see the benefits of these exercises, and at the end, I was feeling pumped and can't wait for my keyboard to arrive (which I just ordered a couple of hours ago)!
Your enthusiasm also helps greatly! Too many videos online of people just talking at the camera, but your attitude makes me want to get started!
Liked/subscribed before the video ended!
So true about so many UA-cam instructors of ANY skill just sitting in front of the camera for the majority of the video. Sure, it’s nice to see who they are at the start and even at the end, but I wish they’d just spend more time showing us how to learn the skills rather than talking endlessly about their promises, claims, or accomplishments, as respectable and admirable they may be. (IMHO)
Guitarist myself, how's it going? I also just start leaning how to play the Piano and its been so much fun.
This is the first time I came to my piano and tried to re start to play and I must say this is definitely the best tutorial I’ve ever had! It wasn’t too long or too fast, it was right on point and I was able to grasp on the chords with both hands right away! I already signed up for the classes with you and I look forward to go back to my music journey. ❤ whenever I go to performance again I will make sure to mention your name because thanks to you I feel a motivation that is beyond words! Thank you Zach!!! I wish you the very best!!!
Awesome. Glad you found the video motivating! 🎹
A became a piano player with just three cord from this guy. Thanks so much for your lessons... One love from Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Excited about all of these! You explain it so well and in such a clear way to make it sound super achievable. Thank you!
I'm an adult newbie & learning cords is probably the most confusing thing for me. That being said I'm able to play the first part of fur Elise just from watching UA-cam. I absolutely love the feeling of progressing & from tomorrow on I will be warming up by doing your 5 finger drill
I just bought a digital piano and plans to re study playing. I was enrolled in a piano lesson when I was 8 up to 11 years old. I am now 55. I want to re learn those piano pieces that I played before. It will be a long journey but I hope to do it. Thank you for this. I remember my piano teacher teaching me this exercises.
This is awesome. I am actually playing something that sounds like something, my first day! And the practices are fun and not hard. I just need my fingers to get used to it. I will definitely keep practicing!
2. I'm most excited to practice the chord progression. You did a great job at showing the potential learning chords has thank you!
Excellent, excellent video. Motivational, easy to understand, straight to the point. Makes the beginner actually feel like they can walk away learning a song to play.
I’m excited for the chord exercises - INVERSION HELP IS NEEDED IN MY PRACTICE! Thank you for the free charts - I’m excited for this journey of relearning my piano 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'd say exercise 1 is my favourite, even though I wanna incorporate them all into my practice. Thanks for your help ✌️
Wow. This is ax’s TLC what I’ve been looking for- can’t wait to practice ALL the techniques. And I’m especially pleased to see instruction on form:)
I just got a keyboard and started playing last week-- so happy to come across this video. I took up Trumpet late in life and decided to add piano for fun. I literally cannot do the improv exercise so this is going to be very slow progess.
You’re the best teacher online. I appreciate you. You’re helping my dream. I was never able to afford classes. God bless you
Omg. I've been looking for something like this.. this type of help and assistance. You are amazing please do not stop helping us beginners
I'm super excited bout the improv exercise 😁
This video actually covers like 5 or 6 Zach tutorials or lessons so thanks Zach, You're a Superhuman Piano Teacher 😅👌
Stumbled across this video and it's the extra that I need. I'm super excited to see where this takes my playing after 52 weeks! Great video!!!!!
Thank you so much!! I'm gonna try this out and update in a week. ❤️
I had pinned the 2015 video on "The Miyagi Technique" from 2015 a couple weeks ago which was amazing (it really worked!) and then I found this video and realized this is the goto place for me for piano. Finally some strong emphasis on proper technique and foundations!
I really love the way you have laid this out to actually learn how to play...thank u so much, I truly have confidence that I will definitely play the piano!!
I’ve not learned to play anything over 40 years. New challenge and I started a few days ago with your videos. This is fun… thank you. I can see improvement after every practice.
This seems great, thank you for the algorithm to learn songs by learning chord progressions. I had no idea how to practice chords and this will level me up in piano like nothing else has ever done.
I Love this!!!!!! Thank you SOO MUCH! I WILL PRACTICE THIS RIGHT AWAY!
This is inspirational! I've already started on some of these exercises by myself, but this give me more structure! I appreciate you!!!
I'm a seasoned piano teacher and I'm always looking to improve my game with some new ideas. This stuff is GOLD! I'm continually learning and adding to my own techniques so, I will pass this onto my own students. I teach ages 6-adult and the chord technique is spot-on. In fact, that's the same tactic I use with my band students for learning tough passages. 😊
Thank you so much, wow, been dreading returning to piano practice but had so much fun playing along with your video and love the material and cheat sheets. Superstar 🙏🏻✨️
Wow, mind blown. I love all of the practices, can't wait to try. 🤗
Thank you so much . Im a brand new adult beginner to the piano and this video is great and helpful lesson!
I just caught your channel. THANK YOU!!! One thing you forgot to mention. While you "play the notes, move up a key, play the notes ..etc, you are also learning the SOUND of each note. Gradually you begin to recognize what note someone is playing. I acquired TWO keyboards and NOW I know what to do with them. I LOVE your enthusiasm and encouragement! Thank you!
Thanks. Glad you liked the video! 🎹
I'm 37 and want to play the piano, because I saw public pianists on YT and it motivated me to learn it. I know it's a long road ahead, but this gives me a simple and understandable way. I can feel to build a reinforcement (foundation) to my piano skills for the future with your practice. Technique and Cords ar important, but we also need a bit of fun and that's the Improvisation part. A goal is to play some compositions from Two Steps from Hell in the far future. Thanks a lot for your video and effort.
Best by far for beginners, watched others and YEAH you're right, expecting me to pick up so easily NOT!!😋 You make me want to play the piano, because you make it more enjoyable and easy to play along, learn along and JUST play!!
Love how he teaches! Thanks so much Zach!
I made my 10 yo son to practice the finger exercises about 5 minutes daily (I myself dont play piano), and in just 2 weeks his piano teacher noticed his improvement. Thanks a lot for a great video
Straight to the point without much blablabla, love it!🔥
Okay you've convinced me to get back into practicing piano. I'm looking forward to the chord progressions. Tysm
This is is super helpful! I'm most excited about chord progressions. Thank you!
Thank you so very much! I am a newby and an oldie 48 starting to learn piano! I’m very excited❤❤❤. You have a fantastic doable vibe that help calm me and energize me all at once. I’m excited for the future!
Thanks. This is what I was always dreaming about! I especially love the improv exercise.
Great teaching! So simplified and helpful.
