What’s up my piano friends!! Today we’re going to cover 6 absolutely essential piano concepts for beginners. If you don’t practice these, or do them the wrong way, it could add years of frustration to your learning time, Or even worse, fail piano for good. Especially if you’re an adult beginner or self taught pianist.
But the top 2% of my students are mastering all 6 RIGHT from the start (to avoid some bad habits and common mistakes piano players make), and using a clever strategy to quickly and easily learn multiple songs a week (step 6). And not kidding, these guys, are doing things 2 months in I couldn't do until my 3rd year playing... I'm a little mad about it LOL
Anyway, make sure you use these for any upcoming performance or recital.
Here’s what we’ll cover, live in camera:
00:00 Intro
00:30 Habit 1: Learn Songs WAY Faster

If you want to learn how to play piano just stay on the piano for all course and practice. You will be amazed at what you will accomplish! Here's the link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ_ZmaRviNStbKc To anyone who wants to learn to play piano as well: - Focus fully on your practice sessions, avoiding distractions. Be present and attentive to the sound, feeling, and technique of your playing. Mindful practice leads to more effective learning and progress. - Focus on learning proper hand positioning, finger placement, and basic music theory concepts like notes, rhythm, and scales. A strong foundation will make more advanced techniques easier to grasp. - Use a recording device or a smartphone to record yourself playing. Listening back to your recordings can provide valuable feedback on areas for improvement, such as timing, dynamics, and expression. See you guys when we're playing piano on the moon.

Studied piano from age 6 to age 16. My piano teacher made me do scales (2 octaves left and right hand together). She taught me correct finger position and technique. Then I learned music theory, which I hated but which allows me to see the general structure of a song much faster. Lastly, she had me playing all kinds of music, not just what I liked and not just what was easy. Biggest tip of all - practice EVERY WEEKDAY, even if only for 15 minutes, even when you don't feel like it. Plan to perform for someone, because performance will show you your weaknesses (other people will immediately notice). Cheers!

There is no point to practice regularly, unless you know what you are doing. Certainly routine scheduling is not the most important thing for beginners

[@NotFakeSmile]

@@mykytamykulskyi4462somebody tell this to my parents

[@aBachwardsfellow]

​@@mykytamykulskyi4462 so - would you begrudgingly concede that if you DO know what you're doing, that regular, routine practice just MAYBE MIGHT be beneficial -- even for beginners?

[@mykytamykulskyi4462]

​@@aBachwardsfellow Bro, the level cautiousness XD. To me beginner is a person at the early stage of some kind of activity, so If they know what they are doing they are no longer perceived by me as a beginner. The first step for beginners though is to collect all the necessary information which includes fundamentals, best practices and pitfalls. Second step is to organize retrieved data in a modular form and take down each module by practicing regularly with the primary focus on finishing the module, rather then "mi practice 15 mins a day mi becom better". Practice isn't beneficial without knowledge unless you want to practice non-sense. Practice undoubtedly is necessary, but it works under certain circumstances that often aren't present in the context of "practice more" advise

[@aBachwardsfellow]

​@@mykytamykulskyi4462 ok -- I understand. There are certainly numerous ways to approach learning how to play the piano -- including yours, as you so well presented above. I approach teaching somewhat differently with beginners, following more along the lines of Suzuki -- learning to play the piano and music by imitation. In my first lesson with a beginning student, I teach them the following: - proper orientation to the piano: seat height and distance from the keyboard, posture, and hand position - finger independence -- learning to play each finger correctly - each hand alone - C major root position triads -- broken and blocked, each hand alone, and hands together -- broken in one hand and blocked in the other, then switch - C major scale - one octave, each hand alone, They will then practice those things for the following week. So while they definitely "know what they are doing" with the assigned material, they are still -- to my thinking -- very much a beginner. Note, however, that they are already learning theory -- root position triads, and scales -- by playing them. This makes it much easier to begin the specific theory conversations about half steps, whole steps, and intervals later on since they have already been playing them and know them in that sense. It is entirely unnecessary to attempt to discuss these initially and only clutters up things and adds confusion. Following your description of a module -- " ... collect all the necessary information which includes fundamentals, best practices and pitfalls ... " .-- it would seem that I have constructed and organized the first module for them " ... organize ... in a modular form and take down each module by practicing regularly with the primary focus on finishing the module, rather then 'mi practice 15 mins a day mi becom better'. To my thinking, they have sufficient understanding of what we covered (i.e. a "module") to be able to practice it 15 minutes (or -- preferably two 15-minute sessions) each day. It does not seem necessary to me to have the student " ... collect all the necessary information which includes fundamentals, best practices and pitfalls ... " before beginning to practice. That is my job as a teacher. And the "modules" I construct are tailored to the abilities, needs, and preferences of each student, so again, it does not seem necessary to me to " ... collect all the necessary information which includes fundamentals, best practices and pitfalls ... " before beginning with lessons. My goal for the first week is to have them become as proficient as possible with that material -- and that's actually quite a bit for the first week. Assuming they acquire a fair proficiency with that material, I will build on it (i.e. the second "module") to have them play all root position triads in C major (i.e. C, d, e, F, G, a, b dim) - broken and blocked, each hand alone, and hands together -- broken in one hand and blocked in the other, then switch -- both with eyes open, and eyes closed), and the C major scale hands together, one octave, in contrary motion. Does that seem to make sense for a "beginner" to ' ... mi practice 15 mins a day mi becom better'. ?

[@him050]

Me and a friend started learning piano about a month ago. I followed an app which has built me up from the basics and that, whilst he just watches "how to play" this videos. In the first couple of weeks I'm here playing When The Saints Go Marching In whilst he's sending me a video of him playing a Coldplay song. Fast forward to two weeks later where he's still googling songs and taking a day to learn it, but you can put any simple song in front of me and I can play it straight away. It was an eye opener for me what a tortoise and hare situation learning an instrument is.

[@wsp912]

Practice left hand first probably comes from the idea that is his you read music (bottom to top, stacking) and gives you foundation to build melody on top. Is prefer to say, practice most difficult part first. That will always take longer, whether left or right or a small section. Some pieces begin easy, and get more difficult, and ppl spend hours on the easy bits and lose hope when they get to the difficult stuff. Build the basics then use them. My 2 cents worth. 'Weak pinkie' applies to almost any fingers we not used to using in that way, so build up strength (in your whole arm, to move those fingers, while body, sitting correctly, etc) , use wrist rotation and hand arm weight and use the movement of your hands to guide you in the direction the music is going. All these little things take time to develope, but keep at it and you will be pleasantly surprised what you can achieve. Memorising chords or anything without a purpose is useless, it is far better to understand how each is made and constructed. Learn the basic building blocks of what a chord, then you apply the same method to everyone. Yes, there are things that come up more often than others. Learning construction of one that can be applied is easier and better than memorising 20 separate random chords. 😊 good luck ❤

[@Gr8FriknApe]

Reading music 3 years ago was a slow, slow, grueling process. I learned to read music before I jumped into buying my first instrument, the piano keyboard. I learned to read using "See Sally run" books when I was in 1st grade. I learned to read music by just going slow and using, "see the music notes" (flash cards). Now, I play the guitar (8 weeks now) and the piano keyboard (3 years). I have a better understanding of the language and theory. My reading is much faster now and I no longer have to memorize a song to play it (I didn't say fast (smile)). Well, on the piano but I'm still a total newbie on the guitar so I'm back to real slow when it comes to playing (chuckles). I became one of Zach's superhuman followers due to Zach's inspiring wisdom, amicable presentations and total commitment to his audience. I highly recommend Zach's teaching methods. Thanks for being such a great coach.

[@becomeapianosuperhuman6765]

So glad you're having success! Yea reading can be good, but it doesn't truly give you an understanding of what's going on like chords and theory do 🔥

[@Gr8FriknApe]

@becomeapianosuperhuman6765 you're right. I've done everything ass backwards and am now just getting into scales and theory. It was through practicing scales that I suddenly could visualize the notes and see the patterns on my guitar fretboard. Another, AH HA! moment for me.

[@ElenaTerzi-ct3cz]

first you have to learn the right hand, then the left and then all together so you memorize the parts well, and it's easier. But it is very important to PRACTICE with separate hands because if you do it with hands together, the 2 hands "merge" and the piece is easily forgotten. if we do it separately then the parts remain imprinted in our minds and we forget it after a long time.

[@monique8229]

I want to know the answer to ‘why you have to learn left hand before right hand’? Is it maybe to drill in the ‘beat’ first?

[@beeankha]

You may be correct about the beat part. Since the right hand is doing the melody, you might drill in a bad habit accidentally (but if you use a metronome, maybe not). It could also be because the left-hand is essentially chords, it makes it easier to read/memorise the melody because the notes will be in the same chord/key (usually). Another reason might be this: as a right-handed person, I think learning the left-hand first makes it easier for when you go to do hands-together. My right hand learns faster than my left, so it makes sense to start with the harder hand first so it's easier to stay motivated. Maybe all these are good reasons to start with the left-hand first.

[@becomeapianosuperhuman6765]

That's part of it! When you get the left hand down it's easier to "fit in" the right hand to the left hand since it'll line up with the beat. The other thing is MOST students find the right hand to be easier (especially if they're right handed) so it's best to start with the left hand when you're more fresh

[@ManWithoutThePants]

The thing about chords needed might apply to pop songs, but I would get bored pretty fast playing the same simple chords. I would think learning how chords are formed is an essential skill if you want to play something more complicated than the popular hit songs. The theory behind forming chords is simple and you can then throw you chord charts away. You don't even need to check jazz songs. I just checked my Beatles book and opened pages randomly and almost on every page there were 7th, sus, 6th or slash chords and I would think them as a pop band of their time. There are lots of other bands, but I thought Beatles was a good example since they have a lots of simple songs that people know.

[@moistness482]

I think it's rather troublesome to learn chords as specific chords. Yeah, when playing specific songs you are gonna use those, but I think it's a horrible idea to teach people C Major, F Major, D Minor etc. instead of teaching them what a major and a minor chord are and how to build them. It is different for guitar, which I play, since chords are much tougher to work out from the notes alone, but even on guitar, you ain't stepping out of beginner territory until you learn how chords work and how to get the most out of them, understanding the theory.

[@twinklystar5283]

Please DO NOT use the “over under” technique, it’s ironically a really bad habit. Yes, the notes you play with your pinkie may sound stronger, but you’ll notice that when you play notes with your wrist down, they sound heavier and you won’t be able to move your hand as quickly across the piano. You may not notice at first, but it will massively affect your playing later on. Instead, make sure to keep your wrist flat. You can practice this by playing scales (one octave will do) while balancing a small coin on your wrist. You should also play on the tips of your fingers; this strengthens the sound overall while maintaining your correct wrist posture. Speaking of posture, make sure to keep your back straight. When playing, your elbows should be pointing out to the sides, as if there’s someone annoying next to you and you’re ready to give them a good shove. This is because a lot of your movement is going to come from your elbows. When combining all these things, you will find that you will be able to easily play notes with your pinkie: your wrist and elbow should be doing most of the moving while maintaining a proper position. Make sure to stay on the tips of the fingers. It’s annoying, but it’s incredibly important. There are times when you will need to use the “under over” technique, but this is usually used when controlling dynamics (the volume). It is NOT for reaching notes with your pinkie. Happy playing!

[@Breadyboi18]

Im assuming you learn the left hand first because its usually playing chords at a slow pace.

[@damonshanabarger2604]

The lower note determines the chord quality and is the rhythm.

[@sirixaysabandith3903]

Somehow I causally listen and look at everything he done in 2x the speed

[@user-of1ej1wq5d]

what about classical? classical doesent use only 6-7 chords, it has melody which is easy to remember, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LEFT HAND?

[@onurboncuk333]

Bro serious question. Im a complete noob. How do people know where "c" for example is on the piano? Like is it really the pattern with the black and white notes where you see. "ah there is c"

What if I play classical pieces that doesn’t have chords on repeat every single bar?

[@rosetyler2810]

But the first chord is A minor…the first bass note is A…bruh

You need to slow down!

Best video about learning to play the piano i’ve ever seen. Practical, quick, simple and so many useful information. Good job

[@majdasvabova7025]

Okay so if i still read like a 1st grader bc in dyslexic ig i just dont got it. Thats why i’ve beed playing for like 5 years and still arent good enough

[@stefanolanza8018]

It's an A minor chord (1:10) [but it's interesting, don't get me wrong]

[@clowz1431]

C major and A minor have the same notes in each other( you can check it on the internet), the only difference is root note. These type of chords are called relative

[@stefanolanza8018]

@@clowz1431 Are you serious? And I can check THAT on the Internet?
