At seventy eight I've just bought a digital beginners piano. I got a bit lost with looking at KZbin, buying instructional books and trying to get a way into learning to play piano. This video has now given me a basic roadmap. Thank you.

Incredible video, having an exact finite number of intervals, scales, chords etc is so motivating, makes it feel like it is possible to attain full mastery, even if will take a long time to get there, thank you!!

Exactly. It's a finite road and one that is mapped out fairly explicitly.

You are a great teacher. I’m watching less advanced videos now and making better progress. The most important topic you mentioned is to master triads. And I liked your disclaimer about jazz. Jazz is for people that are at least a level 8. I’m happy now playing my Moulin de Ville and have started the first nine. But I’m also transposing into the keys with up to three sharps or flats. I’m also practicing my scales with the Rule of the Octave. By doing this, all of a sudden I recently made a jump in the ease of playing new pieces. Merci beaucoup.

Yes! You must first master the fundamentals. Make sure your foundations are strong before building on them.

I consider myself an intermediate to beginning advanced jazz piano player, but this was so good for me to watch to see if I have any gaps in my knowledge. I love reviewing these things from time to time. Thank you so much for this excellent video! I'm starting to dabble in modern pop genre too. Can you please make a video on different left hand possibilities for pop piano? I'm familiar with arpeggios and octaves, but wouldn't mind more on that as well as common rhythms. Thank you so much!

3:10 -- A♭ to E is not a minor 6th, it is an augmented 5th. If it had been A♭ to F♭, then it would have been a minor 6th. The letter names determine the number, then the sharps and flats determine major, minor, diminished, augmented, etc. So A to E is always some kind of 5th, and A to F is some kind of 6th. A♭ to F𝄫 (F double-flat) is a diminished 6th and A♭ to E𝄪 (E double-sharp) is a triply-augmented 5th.

Thanks for this truly valuable lesson..it has helped me develop a plan to address several areas I need to focus on. One quick question: do you consider the ability to 'sight read' at a moderate level as an 'intermediate skill'? I've been working on many of the skills you've outlined, but I also practice at least some sight reading every day, and it has paid off when learning new music. Thx again!

@MangoldProject6 ай бұрын
Start with just #1, practice X minutes a day (you choose) until you can perform it perfectly at around 100 to 110 bpm. Then add the next one, etc ... (make sure to practice once or twice any exercise that has already reached perfection).

The primary takeaway is that there might be a few shortcuts to memorising the notes and chords of a few given songs. However a sound understanding is going to be a long haul and will take many hours of study and practice.
@MangoldProject6 ай бұрын
That is absolutely correct. There is no substitute for hard work (although the hard work should also be done intelligently).

I can't help over thinking @3:15 the example of a minor 6th is an enharmonic minor 6th. In the key of A♭, E would be an augmented 5th. and F♭ a minor 6th. ☺
@MangoldProject6 ай бұрын
If you are referring to the notes on the screen then the software sometimes misclassifies notes (e.g. F# instead of Gb) because it doesn't follow the key I'm in.

@@MangoldProject Hi there, no. I'm saying that an interval of 8 semitones can be either a minor 6th or an augmented 5th., as both an augmented 5th. and a minor 6th., each span an interval of 8 semitones. The distance between A and F (8 semitones) is a minor sixth. The distance between A♭ and E (8 semitones) is an augmented 5th. Although the distance between G♯ and E (8 semitones) is also a minor sixth, I believe you refer to the note as being an A♭ and not a G♯.
@gramski5 ай бұрын
@@MangoldProject It doesn't matter what key you are in. Ab to E cannot be a sixth. It isn't just the software, you also describe Ab to E as a minor 6th which is incorrect. Your posts \ channel are excellent. It looks like this little slip has just got past the editing.

In my opinion, moving from beginner to intermediate is harder than intermediate to Pro.

I disagree, simply because the skills from beginner to pro are easy to grasp (even if difficult to master). The map is much less clear for the latter parts of the journey.

This is scary. 60 years of playing guitar and piano, but I can't identify those intervals by ear. Yet can play by ear, and figure out chords to any pop songs with piano progressions. Lots of work still to do!
