Paul Barton is an incredible piano teacher.
Thanks for the tips Paul. You're an inspiration!
These videos are so great, Paul!
My table piano is almost complete now, and my passion to playing the piano is what makes me do this kind of thing. I hope this would be a good idea and that it won't have a bad effect on my fingers.
Once again, thank you for the practice tips and for your time. I find it very helpful for every pianist.
thank you paul! this is my favourite channel of youtube by far!
I am very glad to see your reply Paul! It means alot to me to learn from you and your experience on the piano.
I have asked around town for places where I could play the piano. Unfortunately, this seems not to be possible at this time. Even in my university, there are no pianos.
So today I started mental practice with the right hand, of a small part of op.10 no.4 from the last page, as you suggest to begin with it.
Your lessons are awesome! Thank you!
Great advice! I have never try mental memorisation before. I'll have a go and see!
I know this is an older video, but it is still very helpful. Mental practice takes practice!
Awesome teaching and tip for memorization! Two types of mental practices are just wonderful! I will ask Annie to watch this video.

You are like Gold.
Wonderful! I need to start trying to memorize more away from the piano. I spend hours each week on airplanes, and this would be useful. (Right now I spend my time running ear-training software!)
Very useful thanks Paul
Great tip. Personally I was using mostly 'blocked' which was a little bit discouraging. Wish to knew that earlier on.
Fascinating!
Great video! I have a request; I'm teaching myself to play and would like to see a tutorial on how to do rapid scales and arpeggios with the right fingering. Thanks!
Thank you Paul for all these advices ! It is very friendly ! I recorded to listen to several times, because my English, euh... is very basic !!! Well in a friendly way. Monique
Interesting and helpful - thanks!
Hi, I started to learn piano last year may 2021 at age 47, I was using UA-cam tutorials at first but last December I decided to learn sheet music. I'm doing pretty good and play reading, I do fidn that I don't memorise it though as I m now reading, I need to make a conscious effort to memorise so I can play away from home without music if I find a piano. Usual favourite spots are hotel lobby's or public places where they might be lol
You have a point.
Wow great me too I have inspired by your tutorials 😍😍😍
I've thus far memorised Moonlight Sonanta no. 3 and Fantasie Impromptu in their entirety. Working on Balade no. 1
Thanks this was very helpful
Great info thank you
Very good. Thanks
really good work :)
Definitely a great way to utilize time away from the piano. I have a question. You say composers and conductors can hear the score. Is this because of solfege and ear training? I'm taking classes on these subjects, but I'm still slow at hearing the score without sound. How does one quickly hear a piece on the spot just by reading the score? Thanks!
No, you can just see the notes and hear them in your mind -- the scales, intervals, arpeggios, chords, etc.
Thank you for the piano tips on memorizing piano pieces. I struggle in this area.
did u get better
hola podrían explicar todo lo que menciono sobre la memoria en español no entiendo su idioma de antemano muchas gracias.
Thanks for the lesson! The pdf of the "Austria" anthem I downloaded from the link was actually the German anthem!! 😅
Paul I love your delivery! Btw what types of books do you read?
Keep up the greatness!:) ThU
Thomas
Hello, excuse me, where is the no. 2 video? Couldn’t find it... thanks.
thx a lot for this video
Thank you so much T_T amazing channel
But where is technique #02!?
Paul, can you please discuss about interpretations. In different eras?
I would like to thank you very much for this amazing video, which for me, came just in time!
I have moved to a new location now where I find myself without a piano. I am supposed to start with chopin etude op.10 no.4. I hope you can answer my question. Do you think it would be a good idea to learn this piece through mental practice only, and two other pieces maybe, while I don't have a piano for three months?
Thank you for your advice and videos.
Peter understands that like other elephants, he has a great memory. This explains his attraction to the piano.
Skate boarding or bmx!
I need to memorize because I busk outdoors and it's impossible to read an iPad in bright sunlight. It just looks black or of reflected light.
When I first took up the piano at fifteen I couldn't play at all and taught myself. In the dark, and slowly, I learned the keys and how to read the music. I learned quite a few pieces, some pretty difficult, by playing them one block of Notes/bars at a time from the beginning ,and would only move on when I'd memorized and played well the previous stanza. I did this by instinct, like memorizing a poem, and my fingers , even today will just go to the right notes, like riding a bicycle. Only problem today is I know(read) many pieces, probably well over 500 but am too lazy to memorize them. I think one has to care enough and want to memorize the piece and put in the work. No excuses.
I had a similar experience with the guitar, I'm learning piano now, but when I started with the guitar I would expend hours memorizing a couple of bars, now I can't expend a minute, I just want to grab the score and play it to the end, and I'm unable to memorize the easiest of pieces
LOVE!!!
Do you have any suggestions for trying to get better at sight reading?
Paul,
I need your opinion, please. Beginning of the year I'll buy a piano for classical music. My options are: Yamaha C7, Kawai RX7 and Feurich 218. Do you believe that are in the same level: Feurich Yamaha or Kawai? The Feurich is a little cheaper. What do you advise? The Feurich only for request, never I touched. I already touched in the Yamaha c7 and Kawai RX7.
You are a youtube treasure, sir. Can I ask you a question about Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9, No.1. In the Cortot edition, he recommends a 531213 fingering for the left-hand arpeggiation that starts the piece. I find that hitting the last note with my 3rd finger requires a fairly uncomfortable stretch. Is it possible to play it with the 5th, or would that have too much of an effect on the smooth legato? I have avg. sized hands (I can span a 10th, though not securely enough for rapid chordal passages)
It sounds great, but the question that I'm left with is this: How do you start? I can't hear the right notes at the beginning, before having played the actual piece on piano. Do I memorize the keys I play, visualize myself playing it?
Paul,
I think it would be a cool idea if you could make a tutorial on double octaves. I'm not that good at them but I'd like to get good at them :D
Totally agree!!
I tried to play it then on a table, just thinking of it as a piano, and was amazed by how I was able to even hear the music in my head, even when I tried to take the tempo a step higher.
I know this sounds funny, but I really enjoyed it.
Next decision was to draw a piano on the table. I have seen a video where a girl in jail plays on her table piano that she drew to practice.
Thanks for answer. Now I will know this accent is from Yorkshire. :) I like your lessons, You're great!
Honestly i don't fully understand how to learn music mentally, is it just just looking some time at notes and try to imagine how it sounds ?
Paul,
I cover songs on a program called Mario Paint Composer, and there is a special lady whom i long to impress. She seems to favor my classical compositions. Any suggestions? Complexity it not an issue.
What is Best, pre-learning memorization or learning and then memorize it?
Whatever works best for you. In the end, a combination of physical and mental memory is the goal.
Paul great video.Just one correction the spelling of Google is wrong.
The only thing is I was hoping to see illustrations playing quietly when the fingers are moving relatively fast because that is when it is much harder to apply the right force. I feel it is much much easier to apply the right force when playing at the illustrated speed because you can feel it also. Great playing naturally of course.
Thanks..
Wow.. you could do some seminars around the UK, I`d love that! Amazing teaching skills!
I have a question Mr. Barton.
Do you memorize fingerings too when you mentally memorize music?
Thanks
+SouthParkGerman y - I can't speak for Paul Barton, of course, but I can tell you that the great pianist Paderewski said that you should always use the same finger for the same note (in a particular piece), so I guess the answer to your question is "Yes" !
@@mofa9745 I don't really think that it answers it, since you could still figure out the fingering while playing the piece after the memorizing.
❤️❤️
Thanks Paul. Were you drinking green tea? I heard green tea has antioxidants that benefit the body. Or better, you were drinking Ginseng tea? ;)
The only part of memorisation I find difficult with piano is, on more complex pieces, usually the fingering. Especially on pieces like Winter Wind. It's going to take me an age to learn the right finger placement with that.
Ive actually worked out some fingering while away from the piano. I guess playing an "air keyboard" on a desk, table, even the steering wheel as I drive. (Hope I don't rear-end somebody as I'm trying to figure out measure 27 of Clare de Lune.)
Me gustaría que pusiera subtítulos a sus videos, le admiro mucho, pero lamentablemente no le entiendo. Gracias.
Normalmente todos los videos de youtube cuentan con la opción de agregar subtítulos e incluso de traducirlos en el momento a un sinnúmero de idiomas, solo es cuestión de buscar un poco en el menú inferior y podrás entender lo que dice.
I only can play without music sheet because I couldn’t read fast
Emilie speaks in the exact same way as her daddy ❤️
Alguém traduza as dicas em portugues aqui por favor? kkk
Ele pede para que pratiquemos fora do piano, com a partitura (mentalmente), já que assim como você não precisa falar enquanto lê um texto, vc não precisa necessariamente usar seus dedos para memorizar uma peça. Contraditório, mas deve auxiliar de certa forma kkk
@@enzovasconcelos2406 primeiramente obrigado Enzo! Em segundo lugar, tambem me parece contraditorio porque o problema para muitos nao é tanto ler mentalmente, mais traduzir esta leitura para os dedos kkkkkkkk
Thanks so much...I wonder if this would work with guitar TAB...? Do you think it has to be standard notation to benefit from this. I am looking for a way to memorize repertoire more quickly. Before I memorize a song I like to listen to it a bunch. I then try to analyze the form. After I analyze the form I analyze the harmonic
progressions within the form. Any suggestions?
melody quite easy to remember even for ordinary people ( mostly people can sing that is vocalising the melody), But the bass and rhythm by Left hand is very hard to remember
For the gifted ones the translation to left hand is automatic from the melody.
I even sometimes cannot differentiate the sound of major chord from minor chord let alone to those augmented, 7, sus...
my biggest problem is that i find it very hard playing a peace that i have not heard before.
I'm from Russia. I feel your accent. Where are you from? Ireland?
are you hearing the pitches as with perfect pitch or relative pitch or you are you memorizing rhythm dynamics and form plus fingerings etc.Your very advanced so you might be hearing a lot more than most.
Based on your skill level, you can memorize individual notes, chords, patterns, keys, modulations, and so forth. You don't necessarily need to memorize the tune, although if you do the former, you will. In other words, you don't need perfect pitch to do this, just a knowledge of the notes plus some theory.
My pianoteacher never told me that.
That’s the austrian 🇦🇹 anthem!
I’m 57. This seems like sorcery! Ha ha
Interest/ Interested you.. the code casually laid.
This guy is a great musician but for some reason unfortunately, the only way he knows how to speak is staccato !!!
malma1 lol..
The best comment ever. lmao
why. are. you. speaking. like. a. robot.?
Thanks for your very interesting post, here are a few more tips on how to play the piano…
Try practicing about an hour a day, or half an hour if you short of time.
Do extra practice whenever you have more time. For example, on weekends you could do more than 1 hour, like two or 3, or even more. This is very helpful because it pulls you out of the routine of piano playing, and lets you practice more and perfect the pieces you play.
Listen to the song or piano piece you are playing. For example, if you are taking piano lessons and are about to play a new piece, you could try searching on the internet for videos or songs and hear how it sounds. This can be very helpful because it teaches you how a song is played and lets you recognize the 'emotion,' the piece is giving out.
Practice sight-reading and don't worry about making mistakes. This can be very helpful, because it's almost like scanning a paragraph and looking at the picture. It helps you to understand what the passage is trying to convey before you actually read it and lets you know what comes next. This is the same with music, and it can help you stop making mistakes.
(I discovered about these and more on Denelle piano lesson site )
Péter Kovács bear in mind, u r getting free tutorial lesson from him
Péter Kovács May be just his personality..lol
