Thanks, Tim. Good tips. It's hard for me to read the bass clef from the bottom up. For some reason I want to play it inverted. I don't have that problem with the treble clef. Anyway, I'm working on it.

This video has so many tips for me. As an adult student just learning, these tips are really helpful. Thank you

[@marybutlin5605]

Hes so smart, and a great teacher too!

[@thisisourchannel3589]

Very helpful! I'm happy that I seem to be doing some of these correctly intuitively but the 'resting' tip really got me. I definitely run over some of those rests. Thanks!

How high or below the ledger lines should we memorize? Surely there's a sweet spot, obviously we can keep adding them.

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

3 lines and 3 spaces above and below!

[@katescarratt4267]

"The lines on the staff are equal to the spaces going off the staff. " Sounds like gibberish until you get to the section on ledger lines, but it's pure gold to me! Thank you for that alone.

Great tips! Would love some book recommendations 🙂

Merci Tim, another great video. I've been playing for a year and a half and don't consider myself a Beginner yet. I plowed through Faber, but also La Méthode Rose (bilingual) and really started making progress with Thompson (in French). But I was lacking in several areas. I talked with my piano teacher and he thought LMR was not a beginner book for kids, since it is quite advanced. Well, I went back to page one of LMR and Thompson and started again. Every exercise. And that has helped me bigly, especially my sightreading. And yes, I realized I was holding notes for too long and ignoring rests. But by doing this I am able to build on the basics.

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

Nice to hear from you! Sometimes going back to basics is what you need.

Thanks Tim, you solved a question I had about two bass clef or two treble clef, I didn't know what to do with them! Thanks so much for clarifying that

[@MikeM91320]

I can't say I am a big fan of books although I did purchasr the adult beginner book when I first started playing and following long your beginner lessons. I also purchased the scales and arpesggios book (ok, i though a hannon book but i don't even take it off the shelf). I would prefer following along to video exerises and I appreciate how you teach.

Love your lessons on point 😊

[@lcmcmil]

Wow! Those are ALL of my mistakes. Thanks!!

[@richardmakei2156]

Much thanks Miss Maestro, I'm proud of you and your lesson..❤

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

Thank you! 😃

[@markshveima]

Guilty of 1, 2 and 3, but working on it. : ) All 9 are super helpful! Thank You!

[@mariadmartinez7]

Book recommendations please review on your channel ✅my vote thanks for being detailed you are a good teacher

[@D.U.D.E-]

For your Tip #9. Maybe in the future you can do some eye tracker to really show the reading ahead I think it would be pretty neat to see!

[@jayarnold4149]

Love the piano and everything you can do with it, but I’m useless and started late in life . 🤦‍♂️

[@kristinak442]

It’s never too late. You just need to have a lot of patience. Piano is very difficult to learn. I’ve been learning for three years and have just finally completed my theory teachings on m own. It’s frustrating yet rewarding.

[@TerryLH]

Don’t give up. I was 55 when I started teaching myself… it’s been 10 years and I’ve learned a lot through videos like Tim’s. Takes patience and persistence 😊.

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

Like others have said, it isn't too late! You can still make great progress with some consistent practice.

[@katescarratt4267]

Keep plugging away at it, and remember to have fun and not beat yourself up if things go slowly.

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

Hey students! I highly recommend you watch this lesson right after this one. It is "the Fastest Method to Reading Music" where I go into depth on advanced note reading strategies that can help you read super fast. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKjTcoqYeqijrMk

[@nancygragg5695]

You said your eyeball is looking ahead and you showed that you were looking at the treble clef not the base clef? In most cases that base clef is also moving

[@ElmarAusman]

What’s the book for scales??
