Jason, you are by far the best piano teacher on the internet. You cover everything in detail, break it down slowly so it is easy to understand and apply. You explain the theory behind everything you teach, and provide so many different examples of how to apply what you teach. Thank you!
Jason, you are a wonderful piano teacher. I love your lessons. They are always so beautiful and melodic. You deserve a million subscribers. I can't understand why you're still not discovered by the big mass of piano students.
I'm surprised he doesn't have more subscribers too!! Like, this channel is much more in depth and accessible as well as innovative for all kinds of piano players
@@nathanielschool Sir could you please tell if it's necessary to learn western classical grade by grade or one could learn to play piano by practicing all the scales ,chords ,arpeggios and playing songs by tutorials ?
Zason Sir you are the the best to me so far I hv come across other UK Tube piano tutor. You are my son's age .yet you are my piano tutor .the technique I hv learnt from you only . Goutam Mitra
I've followed along and learned from many different online teachers over the years including as a start The Piano Guy (Scott Houston), moving to a cheating way of sheet music reading by Shawn Cheek, PianoNote videos on progressions, many many random videos, and finally coming to realize the value of your videos more and more over the years. For someone who really just wants to play what's in their head your video series hit all the problem spots. Thank you so much for these! Along those lines, this video adds great improvisational ideas on a song long past learned. With fewer and fewer hours to get to practice songs, which I eventually forget, I get much more value in improvisation using learned techniques.
I've been learning left hand patterns for a while. They require quite a bit of practice. I've found that starting with just a major (or minor) scale over the LH pattern helps build cement the pattern in the RH. Too much going on in the RH until the LH is totally embedded in the brain will cause the LH to get lost. It takes more practice than I had originally thought it would but the results are worth it. Thanks for another excellent and beautiful lesson. You are fantastic teacher!!
What a wonderful lesson, sir. This is so melodious, I had to listen to many parts of this video where you were improvising, on repeat. They were soulful and soothing. Thanks and God bless for posting such valuable lessons.
Thank you Jason, very helpful on using a simple arpeggio pattern and improvising on the scales, matching what I sing, I always learn something new with your teaching, keep it up, thanks again 👌
You are such an amazing wealth of information sir! And it’s awesome that you are sharing it freely for those who wish to learn. Thanks a lot for making such lovely clear and interesting videos.
This is called Alberti bass, and has been used in Classical music since the 1700's. It is simply a method of adding more movement to your music by arppegiating the chords in the left hand creating 2 moving parts on a piano, or with orchestral instruments in an orchestra piece between the melody on top, and the bass below it, simply creating 3 moving parts....Peace!
Boy. This is marvelous. You can play hours together. Helps to unwind, let emotions flow in. Fill space and what not. Keep them coming Jason Sir. Huge Fan
Amélie theme sounds beautiful, ... this one will definitely help in practice, at the same time create something nice ... would definitely like to see a Amélie Piano Theme teaching, as to how to.
Very nice ideas. I can already play Amelie, the original film theme. but that was not easy to learn with the original sheet music. But of course you're right that you can do a lot more with this l - h - m - h method. In this way to improvise melodic pieces over the singing to play a melody which one has in mind is a very good possibility to play simple but very beautiful harmonies. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation of how this can be put into practice, it is very helpful for daily practice in the brain and on the piano. Greetings from Germany, God with you, Dimitri
Hi Jason, wonderful video as always...... When you say that the left hand is almost automatic allowing for the freedom of expression in the fight hand. How long does this typically take when learning a new left hand pattern. I have no problem playing the left hand pattern but then get frazzled when trying to introduce the right hand and any melody ideas I have !!
Hi Jason, you are a very patient teacher, I love to watch your videos. I always like to learn singing the song "Always On My Mind". Will appreciate if you could teach the rhythm accompaniment on this song. Thankyou so much.
The chord transition/arpegiation between E G B & D is terrific in left hand. Wonderful concept👍👍 and playing melody in one of these scales will be really nice in right hand. But the iffy part being how to land the arpegiation keys exactly while concentrating on melody🤔. I think this whole part to sync may take atleast 6 months of hard work!!! I am keenly watching your videos. And the lockdown helps to spend more time😀 But can we beat the myth of 6 months⁉️
It is not a big problem to connect the right and left hands when changing chords. only a single note changes in the chord. It took me about 1 month to learn the original Amelie with the original score, so that I can play it fluently several times in a row. With variation and improvisation, it is up to you how heavy your melody is that you want to play. You should generally practice the chord changes so that you don't have to think about them later, so that the chords are in hand without thinking which chord you are currently playing. Something like that can also be practiced separately in order to master this. So you can change the chords with both hands and practice with different rhythms. There are enough videos here in the channel for that: ua-cam.com/play/PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU.html
@@Dimitri1901 Thank you Mr. Dimitri1901👍 I shall definitely take your advice and exclusively practice knack of shifting chords naturally from diff rhythms. Thanks a ton for posting tutorials stuff 🤝🤝. Though I cannot master in 1month, atleast would be happy to get it in 2mths👍👍
And one thing that I have practically learnt in my 40 year life is as follows : If you let yourself honestly appreciate / admire and get inspired by someones greatness or any good attribute with sincerity and positivity, then For Sure, those attributes and greatness will automatically come inside you WITHOUT any intentional effort at your end... Just appreciate good attributes of others, get inspired by them, their life's struggle .... Admire them honestly, have positive feelings for them... Pray God to bless them more, and you WILL see that all thosr things will be part of your personality and character. I somehow know that you already know and follow this amazing law of sincere appreciation.
No words..... Wonderful Jason sir...Loved your melody thoroughly in Eminor pentatonic scale... You are composer ..Not just a piano player Spontaneously composing the melody. It's shuddadanyasi raga...I can play on right very good...But missing the left hand independence.
Nice tutorial, Mr Zacky. I am from Indonesia, South Sulawesi. I always watching your videos. I think my LH and RH are not yet to "connected" when I try to playing a rhythm pattern and the arpeggio at same time. Would you give me advices, how to practice it. Btw... I learned piano about one year ago and i can't reading the music sheet. Without the guru. I've learning from UA-cam tutorial only. My LH is not well doing but I can playing more block chords, three or four notes. It is not bad of me... Thankfully for your attention. Warm regards...
Thank you... thank U nnnn thank uu!! I was wondering how to play the amellia song bfr... But by this exercise I guarantee that .. I will definitely play the peace...

Do the same LH pattern with different material in the Right Hand Stewart. Do Melody, Chords, Arpeggios and over more and more songs
