[@tong157]

Thank you @pianodugi for watching my video. All the best to your piano journey.

[@MichaelJustGreat]

Thank you Tong for sharing your piano progress. What makes it very interesting to me is that you are self-taught. Thanks also to indicate the books that you use, as I am sure it will help others understand how to learn the piano from scratch. Keep your beautiful piano journey going, Tong. All the best to you Tong.

[@tong157]

Thanks Michael for your very kind words!

[@alexgoriatchenkov]

Looks like you started reading sights from day one and this IS great for you! I pass just 1st year and all I use it KZbin ! Thank you for sharing and keep going!

[@tong157]

Thank you for watchng!

[@simoncui9443]

Very inspirational sir, I started late last year at 27 half thinking that it was too late for me. This video is proof of the contrary.

[@tong157]

Thank you for watching my video. I am sure you will play very well after you keep learing and praticing piano.

[@R.K_Dimaculangan]

Such an expansive oeuvre for only 6 months! I have been playing for 3 and I can only play 1 piece still. Very impressive!

[@diviajar1411]

So many beautiful pieces! Well done!

[@tong157]

Thank you Di Viajar!

[@marcellef8302]

👏😃

[@Magerramus]

Hello Uncle Tong! I think your progress is really good! Well done ! How many hours daily do you practice? Im 33 and i started playing piano 3.5 month ago.Love the process! You are a good inspiration for all of us, go on!!

[@tong157]

Thank you @Magerramus for the nice comments. I practice 2 or 3 hours daily. I used to play even longer before I got finger pain.

[@bethspring4755]

Oh my! It's my day 4 I got a keyboard and I just do a simple cord progesssion and variations on it, trying to get the left hand in not like 4 songs! 😂 But I enjoy playing so far. Don't think I will get that far within 6 months or can even upgrade to an E-Piano. Well done!

[@tong157]

Enjoy playing - I love it. It takes some time to learn a new skill. Once you get it, you will feel very satisfied and enjoy more.

[@katttttt]

If you start with 0:00 in the description, the timesteps will be shown in the video :)

[@tong157]

Thank you for the tip!😀

[@arijevacgaming921]

How do you reccomend to start learning piano self taught, are there any KZbin tutorials lessons that can help and do progressively? :)

[@tong157]

You can choose some good piano method books and use KZbin as an extra resource for specific topic. You can also find some nice piano courses for beginner in Udemy. Best.

[@cyberrunner58]

Great video. Could you please tell me which book was referenced in the video?

[@tong157]

Thank you for watching the video. Most of pieces are from Alfred's Adult All-in-One 1 and Adult Piano Adventures 1. You also can find the chapter index in description.

[@jacobjames59]

Sir, would have been great if you could input the title of the music somewhere on the screen. Great perserverence!

[@tong157]

Thank you for your suggestion. You can see the title with the meter when you tap the video or move the mouse on the video meter. The index of videos can be found in the description. Thank you again!

[@mirosawgadek5454]

What books you are learning from?

[@tong157]

I learn from Alfred's Adult All-in-One book and also refer to Adult Piano Adventures.

[@user-ys1kb6fq8h]

did you start reading music from day1 ?

[@tong157]

I start reading simple music notes in the first week, following the book progress.

[@mahdidaneshtalab7031]

What is the brand of piano?

[@tong157]

Yamaha dgx670

[@Thelegendofme]

You are using a YamahaDGX670B. This is not a beginner level piano. I cant tell from this angle if it has the furniture stand or the triple pedal but both of those will bring this piano's cost to around $1000. Although it is possible for an absolute beginner to purchase high quality equipment before even knowing if they want to fully commit, I do think it's a little unlikely that you filmed all of these as a beginner, and instead just made a compilation of a bunch of short scenes all in one day for a long format clickbait video. This does appear to be a trend where people who have been playing piano for a long time will suddenly start making youtube "beginner" progress videos. An Alesis or a cheap casio is usually everyone's first digital piano. Not a high middle tier Yamaha.

[@tong157]

Thank you for watching my video. You can go to my video channel to see my piano journey starting last year: www.youtube.com/@tong157/videos You are right that some people may buy very cheep digital piano or even keyboard if they don't commit to learn piano.

[@n3llybean]

Lol... Do you realize it would take a lot more effort to change clothes for every take and change the camera position slightly to make a believable clickbait video? Plus, the instrument thing is bs. If you have the money, what's the point in buying a crappy "beginner keyboard" when you can buy a proper piano. My first piano was a middle tier yamaha, and my friend just bought a $650 guitar before knowing any chords

👍👍👍👍

[@tong157]

Thank you so much, @Chin0z9.
