[@mo_1010]

I noticed in the beginning that you said you learned using synthesia videos. They’re good at first, but they make it more difficult in the long run to progress. This is because as you move to more difficult pieces you need to pause the video all the time because the music and hand placements are all over the place. With the sheet music all you need for any part of the piece is right there. I’m mostly self taught as well as well; I had a teacher through my school (I go to a performance arts high school) who largely encouraged exploring different genres of piano music to find one you love. He also said the most important thing was to *learn to read sheet music* it’s probably one of the most important things for progression. Start as soon as you can, every second benefits :)

[@erikwalter6598]

How long do you think it will take for a beginner that starts to learn sheet to being auotmatic when it comes to reading the music?

[@wwxluvr2643]

⁠@@erikwalter6598depends on the piece. the fist thing my piano teacher did was showing me notes, now I can read beginner pieces without too much thinking, harder pieces are easy to read while playing with one hand, but playing with both is a bit challenging. It also depends on how much you’re going to practice, I think for me it took around a month to be confident in my sheet reading:) Learning how to read sheet music is also way easier than you probably think, so don’t be discouraged from trying! (sorry if i made mistakes, English isn’t my native language)

I study music and been learning piano for about 2 years now. What I can tell you can make you make a big improvement is reading sheet music, because at some point you're probably going to end up being stuck trying to learn a piece watching tutorial videos. And learning pieces like that make you waste a lot of time that you can use to practice more. Also while reading sheet music and knowing a little of music theory you can begin to practice making your own arrangements. You definitely have talent and your ear must be sufficiently trained because you play amazingly well for 1 year of training, but at some point reading sheet music is going to make a huge difference. If you feel like you can't push yourself enough to practice reading sheet music, I recommend you get into an academy or get a teacher, because there they're definitely gonna make you learn it the hard way and it gets really fun once you finally understand what's written in a sheet music.

Incredible progress! As many others have said learning to play Fantaisie Impromptu in just 6 - 7 months with no prior experience or musical background is really impressive! Clearly you have a lot of potential. Keep practicing hard and never give up!

[@bloeser]

Hi! I just wanted to say that your passion is really amazing :) and that you shouldn’t give up. I heavily recommend going back to BASICS! While it feels really cool to play all of these super difficult pieces, there are levels and classes and tests for a reason, y’know? Not to say you have to do the tests or anything by any means. There’s technique and nuance that goes into learning that you miss just by watching the videos you’ve been watching. It’s so helpful for your development to learn how to read sheet music, and maybe find a teacher! It makes so much difference to learn technique, history, and for someone to point out mistakes and things to improve on. Good luck!

[@soobinicon]

I’m 17 and I started playing a piano only one month ago. Now I can play the song from “moving castle” and bella ciao. Thank you for this video. It really gaves me motivation to play better. I hope that one day I will play like you!) And YESSSS I can’t read sheet music yet… it’s pity a bit. But I’m really to lazy and afraid that it’s hard. Sorry for my bad English, I’m from Russia!

[@kanondough1137]

Well done. You did very well. I would suggest that you start learning to read the sheet music, it will really help you learn the pieces faster (you already know that😂) And try to learn some easier pieces that are more on your level of difficulty (a lot of the pieces you played are on the advanced level to super advanced) because that way you can learn to master those pieces and then gradually make the pieces harder. You play beautifully and keep on working hard!

[@donteatthebacon7147]

A lot of these pieces i tried learning while i started too and ended up coming back later to fix them. I think its great because it forces technique on you but you'll be so focused on hitting the notes you miss out on the bigger picture. Its absolutely fantastic how far you got in a year but always have something simpler on the side you are learning that you can perfect. Also a good tip is to practice without petal it makes it so easy to spot mistakes.

[@Cutedoggo2]

Trust me I can sight read and while it takes time to get good at reading the pieces you are playing( fairly high level) it is sooo worth it you are able to learn songs 10x faster. Essential to mastering an instrument

[@Alex_agamer]

This is really cool to see. I am actually on a very similar path as you. I started playing 11 months ago and we have learned similar songs except that i learned Liebestraum no 3. Instead of fantasie impromptu but i have been super lazy with my piano playing. We are similar skill levels and its really nice knowing there is someone working right besides me. Seeing you actually learn a good amount of songs has inspired me to learn more because i only know Liebestraum, C sharp minor prelude, and clair de lune along with like 20-40 seconds of other songs like waltz of the flowers, revolutionary etude, ballad no 1 in g minor, and a lot more.

[@randomplaypiano]

keep it up

[@elisajs22]

this is really good! One advice though: try to play less fast. Then you could really try to get the method better, and even if it’s not as fast as the normal music, it will be just as good (like for example: fantasie impromptue: you play really fast and we hear you losing control and coordination of your fingers due to the speed). ps: i was like that too as a beginner, it’s been 12 years now, and I still do it sometimes, common mistake.

Considering how well you're playing after teaching yourself in such a short time is breathtaking. You might be a musical genius 🫡

[@vanek_9397]

You've done a really amazing job, there is so much effort put in it. I know it's hard to stop but try to learn not the most difficult pieces first. After learning a while you'll probably be wanting to have your fingers fit in order to play not just what's written but exactly and precisely what you need. Bach Preludes and especially Fuges can teach really well how to control your fingers and master piano. Just choose a few of them fuges and eventually you're gonna be playing a lot better. Good luck and continue it

[@senatorstevenarmstrong7434]

[@alexplays2221]

You have talent, but ( I hope you take no offense) you are progressing way to fast, and without learning sheet music? The thing with youtube tutorials and copying hand placements is that it’s always less accurate in many situations. Sheet music allows you to learn pieces completely with it’s dynamics, ornaments, etc. It’s also very important you learn music theory. I recommend buying solo piano books such as the Alfred’s series. They are great books that facilitate learning sheet music and theory. Also, I doubt you can FULLY complete those last few pieces with copying hand placements. Of course we go back to its dynamics and those things. But prove me wrong!

Lmao attempting fantaisie improptu on day 24 is crazy! I'm actually self taught too, and this is super relatable, I would always try to play the hardest piece, but I wouldn't care about accuracy or if I was sloppy. I suggest dialing it down, master the basics, you won't people able to play successfully until you do. 7 months to play just the notes of Fantaisie impromptu is impressive, but you won't be able to play it without mistakes, and expressively without years more of training. That's unfortunate, but it's worth it. In the end, if you keep it up, and focus on perfection, these pieces will come a lot easier. If you practice like this, you really aren't good at piano... you're good at specific songs.

[@shhhidd]

What do you mean?? Can u explain?

[@MesterMonata]

@@shhhidd sorry if i didnt make it clear (as i said before English is not my first language). When you play a piece you will slowly develop muscle memory and that’s good for memorizing pieces BUT. If I you try to play a piece that is waaay to hard for your level (in this case la Campanella) were you won’t be able to play the right notes, play in the right tempo or using the right technique but play it anyways, muscle memory is a bad thing because instead of memorizing you playing the piece right, you will memorize playing it wrong. So when you one day will be able to play the piece, it will be much harder because you first have to basically erase ALL of your previous playing of the piece because you played it wrong.

But for someone who plays with a piano teacher, who practices scales/arpeggios etc., does daily sight reading etc it's clear that a lot of basics and structure is lacking here. It's a matter of personal choice: do you wanna play just for fun and not be too good? Then great, this works well and I hope that it offers you everything that you want cuz you do seem to be having fun and that's the most important thing. But if you want to actually get good at piano and sound good, you will need basics and a teacher (although I know they can be expensive!). Best of luck!

thank you so much for your time, i actually play for fun, but yeah, to get good, i need to train the fundamentals more seriously

[@SurprisedGarterSnake-eh7tk]

Do I actually need a teacher, I'm about 2 months self taught and a teacher would definitely help, but my parents ain't paying for allat

[@nova_camova7451]

@@SurprisedGarterSnake-eh7tk You don't necessarily NEED a teacher although having one will be very helpful and you will likely learn faster. If you can't afford to pay for lessons then the next best thing is to buy some method books and start learning from those. I'd recommend Faber's Piano Adventures as I've heard a lot of good things about the Faber method in regards to sight reading and playing by ear etc. Also KZbin is your friend. If you're having a lot of trouble with a certain technique or you can't figure out what you're doing wrong there are plenty of professional pianists who make very helpful videos and may be able to point you in the right direction.

A teacher might not be necessary - having good practice techniques and having good tutorials could definitely substitute a teacher I had a teacher for the fundamentals - which I realize I didn’t really need. Eventually I stopped doing lessons and learned pieces on my own, which worked really well.

Omg just wowwwwwwwww! Ive been playing piano for ages and you're playing some songs that took me ages to learn at a much higher skill level hahha, keep going ur doing great! Also I noticed this when you were playing, I think you like to play faster songs? Idk if thats the case but thats true for me they're a lot more excited hahah. If so, then i would recommend you curl your fingers more when your playing, you're currently placing your fingers on the notes really flatly (if thats even a word), when u play u should visualise as if you're kind of holding a tennis bold in your hand, almost every pianist does this and this makes their hands 1. look much more elegant when they're playing lol & 2. you move around much faster when your hands are at this form! not to mention it prevents future damage to ur joints haha. Anyway great job!

bro said i suck in different pieces

[@onenita]

Everyone else: Wow I can't believe you can play like that! That's amazing! Me: He can solve a 4*4 cube!?

[@Pakl1021]

Hii! Just want to say that the amount of effort is amazing and the results are turning out great as well! however, I think those pieces that ur currently working on such as La Campanella and Winter Wind etude are still to hard for you as they are insanely difficult. I would strongly recommend you to try easier pieces and try to learn the basics and theory behind them first, even gn they seems like a boring and unnecessary things to learn but after you learn them they will help you more for understanding sheet music and what the composers want to express themselves throughout the piece. Anyway the result of fantaisie improptu was fantastic and I hope to hear more!! Keep the passion as you go even though some time it might be hard but after it you will succeed!❤

[@lordanthony0]

Could you share with us a bit of your learning method? Like, did you study any music theory or was it all just trying to play songs? And did you learn how to read sheet music?

[@bluDimz]

fantaise impromptu in 4 months is crazy 💀💀

[@summer_stxrz]

I don't wanna be weird but as a musician, I'd like to say...There's a difference between an intermediate musician and an advanced musician. The intermediate musician will practice a hard piece until they can play it without mistakes, an advanced musician will play a hard piece until they can't play it incorrectly :)
