Beethoven Moonlight Sonata Piano Tutorial Part 4

[@vickiyznagacampos8974]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. Back in 1972, at the college we were attending, a friend patiently sat with me at a piano at the school almost every day and taught me how to play Moonlight Sonata by heart. I was 18 years old. Over the years, I forgot how to play practically the whole piece, except for the first few notes. I am very very grateful for your patient tutorials as I am now able to play the entire piece again. You cannot imagine my gratitude. Thank you so much!

[@ThePianoKeys]

Oh wow, I'm so happy you were able to relearn it!! Congratulations!

[@brianmckeon9959]

Thank you for completing the Midnight Sonata from beginning to end! You are the best teacher and you should be proud o that. I learned this from Part 1 to Part 4 without even knowing how to read notes and I should credit that all to you! Now I can play to my family and friends because of you. You are very inspiring to all of us. Kudos!!!

[@ThePianoKeys]

Wow, that is very impressive! Good for you, you must have practiced very diligently. Thank you for your kind words and for the support, I appreciate it very much. :)

[@konradwoehner]

Thats in my mind too! Even I dont speak your Language for a Long Time, you teach like a real Champion!!! Wonderful work you do

[@thisisfakegucci]

SAMEE I can't read music to save my life 😂 I barely know all the chords

[@kennethwood88]

You just need to learn how to read music. Plain and simple. That's how I did it. If you want to play any instrument. You have to know how to read music. I play this song and I taught myself how to play the piano. I play the entertainer and I taught myself how to play.

I am brazilian. I live in São Paulo. You are a very good teacher! excelente! I got it! my dream was to play moonlight sonata. Thank you very...very...very MUCH!

[@loldelgermurunbn1866]

you're so good teacher ma'am thank you so much just finished moonlight sonata, you should deserve more than 30k

[@ThePianoKeys]

Thank you! 😃

[@dr.lit18765]

At 18:32 and 18:58, you right hand thumb was on B#, instead of C# as in 16:02 and 16:25... I am guessing it probably should be the C#, would you kindly confirm? Thank you so much!

[@adame613]

Yes I noticed this also. You’re correct I believe

[@joellelabastide3616]

Thank you so much!! I have loved this series

That's great! Congratulations on your achievement!!

[@ThePianoKeys]

Haha, yes it is weird! Thanks so much, and congratulations on achieving this!

[@JeanSebastienGorre]

Thank you for this 4 parts tutorial, it's excellent. I love this master piece and I hoped for such a long time to be able to play it. I am happy to have found the best tuto on youtube for beginners like me. I worked a lot on Satie, but I was afraid of this 1st movement Moonlight Sonata (not as much as third movement...) . You managed to teach with clarity, and a nice voice. Thank you

[@ThePianoKeys]

You're very welcome!

[@linukelookingup4214]

Oh thank you so much! You made me finished this piece. I used just a month to finished it. You did so well.You are the amazing teacher.

[@ThePianoKeys]

Thanks so much! It feels great to know that you finished this piece using my tutorials.

[@thisisfakegucci]

this section does the ABSOLUTE MOST

[@inocenciofrancisco7744]

Please enlighten us with moonlight sonata 3rd mvt, I know it is long but please it is on my "bucket list"

[@ThePianoKeys]

So many people have asked me to do the 3rd movement, but it really is a very advanced piece. It is not suitable for a video tutorial, not just because of length, but because the years of technique work needed to be able to play it. So that piece really needs to be studied under the guidance of a teacher.

[@alexbo5998]

This music always was, is and will be in the top!

[@jidduuzumaki3863]

Thank You for all the work you put on your videos. I was having a really bad time trying to learn a song until I found your channel. Thanks to you I learned my first song "Bach C Major Prelude". Now, I'm learning this one wich is one of my favorite songs, I've learned all the parts, and even when I'm still struggling to play correctly with both hands the last part of this part 4. I know I will get it right, like i did with the rest of the song, and It is thanks to you. You are a great teacher, I'm also learning english and your accent and diction helps me a lot. Thank You, Thank You. Love from México.

[@ThePianoKeys]

Wow, thank you so much for this comment. It makes me feel great to know that my work is helping you reach your goals. :)

[@ThePianoKeys]

That's great!

[@toddgrafton4070]

I've got about a minute and a half left of actual playing time until I'm finished learning how to play this movement all the way through. Funny thing is there is a part of me that is sad it is coming to an end. It has been such a fantastic journey for me to learn this I'm a bit apprehensive about it ending....even to the point of almost avoiding it.

[@ThePianoKeys]

Interesting! Well, fortunately, we pianists have thousands of pieces we can learn, so you can always choose a new song to learn and add to your repertoire!

[@olieschaick]

First of all -->awesome work, very clear and useful! Almost at the end memorizing the whole piece. As I have some thick fingers I have troubles playing the white keys in between the black keys (it will hit 2 or 3 together). Is there any trick I can apply on that?

[@ThePianoKeys]

Stay closer to the edge of the black keys, don't go in so far in between them.

[@mariodepes8006]

You are amazing , thanks to you i have learned the 1st movement of moonlight sonata 🤗 keep posting more videos pls :)

[@ThePianoKeys]

Thanks, I'm glad you found my tutorials helpful. I upload as time permits. :)

Amazing teacher. Please make a tutorial about Beethoven's Für Elise and Mozart's piano concerto K.246. Thank you.

[@ThePianoKeys]

Ace Warren Paguyod I have a tutorail for Fur Elise (the first part only). A Mozart piano concerto is best studied with a teacher in a private setting. :)

[@sav0110]

10 months later. I FINALLY MADE IT!!!😂 Now on to learn another song😊 (Could please you do "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen? It's so pretty on piano and I love the way you do your tutorials)

[@ThePianoKeys]

I bet it feels great to play it now! :) Halleluja is on my request list.

Hi, thank you so much for making this tutorial! Although the last 20minutes or so I couldn’t see your left hand. That made it harder. Do you mind re-record it when you have a chance? Totally fine if you don’t. Still a fantastic tutorial! Thank you!

[@ThePianoKeys]

Thanks so much! Yup, sometimes mistakes happen. Unfortunately, I will not have time in my schedule to rerecord this tutorial.

[@thisisfakegucci]

Idk if you remember my previous comment on how I couldn't play the song and it was too hard now I finished it thanks to you I'm so happy thank you so much ❤️❤️
