2 year piano progress (adult beginner, Simply Piano)

Full version of „Von Fremden Ländern und Menschen“: • 2 year piano progress ...
During X-Mas holidays 2018 I thought to myself, there has to be an app to learn the piano. Turns out there is and so January 2019 starts my personal piano journey.
This is a fast forward through my first two years of practicing. About halfway through when you hear Schumanns „Melodie“ I startet taking lessons from a teacher. Initially only my parents helped me with the correct posture and such things (they are both playing for more then 20 years)
At „The Entertainer“ I‘m through with the Simply Piano courses. At that point I have done all available lessons and a bunch of the sheet music from the beta section.
I feel it‘s important to not that I didn’t just use Simply Piano during those two years, I also used other apps like Flowkey, watched KZbin videos and used traditional sheet music.
The only experience I had when I started off was playing the keyboard when I was a child (so about 25 years ago), so essentially a little bit of leadsheet. Don‘t know if that helped me, but overall I think my progress over two years is solid.
Hope you liked the video, thanks for watching.

My mother used ro play the piano but i never really was interested in playing. I tryed it out and it was quite enjoyable. Now i am already playing for 5 months and im practing für elise nightmare and am already able to play für elise,turkish march, moonlight sonata (without 3rd movement) a d many other songs. Its just more enjoyable to play songs yourself instead of just hearing them

Not bad! I took piano lessons for 6 years, starting at the age of 9. That was 1959. I've got to admit, you are advancing much faster than I did. Yes,I still play, usually 2 or 3 hours a day. It's nice to be retired. Hing in there.

I just started simply piano. I thought it would only have you learn very artificially. Like the app does the actual playing. But it actually does a good job letting you practice as much as you need to to actually learn the lesson. I am having a much easier time learning chords as I simply go through each lesson as often as I need to, not necessarily get 100% as my piano isn’t perfectly tuned and I “miss notes” that I actually get. But the point for me is to gain the muscle memory. When I feel burned out I call it a day. And it is remarkable how seemingly easy it is the following day. I have been practicing 30 minutes first thing in the morning and 30+ minutes in the evening so I can take advantage of sleep learning on both ends.

Probably they weren't available at the time. While I did all the courses in Simply Piano, I also played from sheet music pretty much as soon as I could read it. But a lot of what I played then is now available in the Play part as a bonus. The app really has a high value for a beginner.

[@FlorianRachor1]

No further advice that sounds all really good. If you can, a teacher is already really helpful to get to the next step, you just have to find one that is open tot the whole app idea. Apart from that watching KZbin videos is a good idea. If I find the time I can make a short video about some tips my teacher gave me.

Nice work Florian. I have been playing for around 1 year and really enjoy too. I also plan to get an ipad/tablet for it too! I see that you managed to get it to work via headphones - I have been trying to set up via headphones for a long time buying so many different wires, two way adaptors, etc. please can you share how you set that up?

[@FlorianRachor1]

In my case it‘s rather simple. I have the iPad attached to the piano via USB cable and Apple Adapter and I plug the headphones into the piano. That way I can hear Simply Piano and the internal piano sounds. Only thing I had to do was to turn of the software piano in Simply Piano, that was quite distracting. What piano do you have and how do you connect them together?

[@DanielLearnsPiano]

Great progress. How much was Simply Piano compared to other sources?

[@FlorianRachor1]

I would say about 1/3 Simply Piano and 2/3 other things. So a typical practice session is 10min warmup with scales etc, 15min SP, 15min other pieces I‘m working on. Give or take, I don‘t track my practice session down to the minute.

[@mothernature6544]

awsome!

[@Phaseish]

did you start learning scales and do any appergios any time while using the simply piano content? or no that was until later? The chord fingering must have been difficult for you to change with a teacher too huh? did you find that you had a lot of things you needed to correct because you didn't start with the fingering maybe as classical as proper? so finger skipping and all that was foreign to you ? Thanks solid progress I just feel from what I watched simply piano traps you into playing chords and songs with rymths , but you actually didn't start using arpeggios for a while. which is esentially how you learn to accompany on the piano, so i have been going through the same journey, but I have just been doing nothing but scales and arpeggios and the axis chord progressions. / youtube/

[@FlorianRachor1]

Alright, so one by one. No I didn't start with scales and appreggios, those came later. But I never focused on those, I draw more personal value from playing music instead of technical excercises. I do warm up with 5-10min of that though every time. Simply Piano acutally teaches you proper fingering for everything, it missed the mark though on bringing home how important it is to stick to that. I saw people covering the fingering in the app because they thought it's some kind clutch, not understanding the value of proper fingering. Don't know if that is really the fault of the app though.

[@melindamercier6811]

Lovely progress!!! I took 2 years of keyboard in college and seriously forgot it all, my instrument was voice and keyboard did nothing for me other than reinforce some theory. My hands never agreed with each other. I failed my keyboard final but passed the class bc I was a decent student otherwise, but there was no way I’d be playing Bach as expected. I’m over 10yrs removed from college and I decided to start simply piano to see what it has to offer and am contemplating buying it for the year, as I’d like to accompany my husband (he plays guitar fantastically) with simple, fun songs. So far, playing with both hands via simply piano has already been much better than it was in college. My only concern is that I won’t associate what I read with the name of the chords I play. Would you say this app is helpful in reinforcing that aspect of learning? Can you play something by ear? Or with a simple chord chart? Because that is my goal.

Hi, so I got a teacher after about 6 months of using SP and then continued with both together. With the teacher I focused on reading sheet music and musicality, while in SP in continued to practice the basics. This slowed down my progress in SP, but enhanced my playing overall. So for me personally that was the right way to do it. I finished all the SP courses after two years, and since then I'm continuing with teacher and the other available resources.

What gave you the impression that it‘s a scam? It‘s a piano course that focuses on playing rather then teaching you a lot of music theory.

@@javedahad1033 Lot‘s of people have reservations regarding new technology, that‘s normal. My teacher quite liked the app, specifically that it kept me motivated to practice every day. As I already mentioned, it‘s not perfect, nothing is. More specifically, the app can‘t teach you musicality, so you have to make sure that you don‘t sound robotic. But there are a lot of resources that can help you with that, KZbin for example. Teachers are great, I started getting in person lessons after a year or so with Simply Piano. That enhanced the quality of my playing significantly, I‘m not going to play this down. But Simply Piano made me sit down every day and practice, even best case you will see your teacher only once a week, but he won‘t be there every day. Simply Piano is there every time you open the app. There are ups and downs to everything. One month of weekly lessons costs as much as two years of Simply Piano where I live. That‘s steep if you don‘t know if you are even going to stick with the piano. I could go on and on. Maybe a solid video idea to talk about that :D

I really depends what your goals are. A tool is only as good as it's suited for the goal you want to achive. SP is more causal, and puts more focus on playing music instead of learning theory. It also has more pop music then classical (like 80/20). For me it was also a motivational tool, something that would keep me coming back to the piano. That was worth everything to me, to be honest.

I do not believe this is the progress of a person. The hands position after two weeks, the mouvemebts os fingers , the independence of both hands ... It is too fast learning. I' m sorry but I don' believe in it

[@FlorianRachor1]

So you think my progress is above average? I have seen much more wild videos, always thought I‘m about normal. If you think this is „unbelievable progress“ I‘m actually quite happy, since I started in my 40ies. Regarding the hand position: As mentioned in the video, my parents play since forever, they showed me how to hold my hands. I find it actually quite natural.

@@FlorianRachor1 15 days is a too short period of time to play piano as you show in the video if your starting point is " I never played before" . I' m sorry but ....

He never played but ever saw. He started fast but progressed normally. I think it's real.

Just pirated simply piano and I confirmed that I did this in half a week. The songs aren't that complicated.

Simply piano is a good app maybe you try and see for yourself

[@mikaschmidt2110]

Why are all the comments from people who actually use simply piano we need the ling ling wannabes to invade this comment section

[@FlorianRachor1]

Almost 100% of the traffic is coming from "Simply Piano progress", how did you find the video? My channel is so small, should be under the radar for almost everyone.

Simply piano Is good only the First week free trial for learn the basic, then Is waste of time. I start play piano 10days ago, the First 4 days i use Simply piano for basic, then i start fur elise, and i almost complete the full Song ( with hard part ) , if i use this 6 days for Simply piano now i can only play ginggle balls Oh and also mad world in the days i use Simply piano before delete the app and start fur elise
