Für Elise: Piano Lesson - How to Play the Original Main Theme | Intermediate Level

[@joyvan0827]

Best tutorial ever on this song. Extremely clear and detailed. Thanks Mr. Hoffman. Can't wait to learn the whole song.

[@hishnick79]

there are no tutorials like this! mostly just playing tru and helping to memorize, instead of analyzing the invention! Thank Hoffman!!! Really looking forward to level-6

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Thanks - I really appreciate that feedback! Level 6 is still being edited, but we hope to have it up soon. Thanks for your patience. :)

[@SK-us4jq]

​@@Hoffmanacademy I don't see part 2 ,3 and 5. Could you please share the link.

[@meabobea311]

I have been trying to learn this song for YEARS. I came across your video and now I can play it perfectly in just 30 minutes. Thank you so much Hoffman!

[@cameronryan8034]

I’ve been playing piano for about a year now and I just started watching you today and you show me that I can do it!

[@FeiBenZhu]

I find the left-right-left switching with the e-d# helps you to remember how many times you've played it ☺

[@nicoleri2222]

I've been playing piano for 6 months and I got this super fast

[@Hoffmanacademy]

That's great!

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful.

[@beatricewoodhall4001]

Found this so useful I feel that my keyboard playing has grown so much since using your toutorials

[@Hoffmanacademy]

I'm so glad to hear that.

[@charleslaine]

I play with e octave jumps complete differently. The 3rd e in the sequence I play with my right thumb. Then while that repeated e is being played, I move the left hand into position. It's a LOT easier and doesn't require a quick abrupt jump of the left hand.

[@sailemysg]

I’ve only been playing piano for three days but from watching you I could play this level! Thank you

[@Hoffmanacademy]

That's great! I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful.

[@sailemysg]

Hoffman Academy omg thank you I didn’t think you would respond can you make a tutorial on Havana by Camilla cabello

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, some of the lyrics in the song “Havana” are not appropriate for our curriculum. Because children make up a large portion of our audience, we choose to teach only music that could be considered family friendly and appropriate for all ages.

[@tori_min1499]

@sailemysg For real ? Do u play it with pedals ?

[@xthetansiblingsx5405]

Wao! I have been practicing only this section for months. The pedalling is really hard to master. And now i shall add on with dynamics. Thank you so much for this tutorial :)

[@Hoffmanacademy]

You'e very welcome! Keep up the great work!

For this song we decided to make only preparatory, level 1, level 4, and level 6 tutorials because there wasn’t a good way to adapt it for the intermediate levels.

My teacher has a piano and she brings it every Friday so my class can play on it. But the problem is that I’m not that good not the piano but every one else is soooo good at it but because of this it’s my turn to show my off sooooo hard

[@valeriewilson5728]

Mr. Hoffman right know learning the b section of fur Elise is hard.

[@Hoffmanacademy]

It can be pretty tricky, but I'm confident you can master it with practice.

[@peacockpaula4723]

How wonderful and fascinating the more I see and hear it makes me waltz with joy and I "waltz" with my fingers on the keys, waw I love it😊! I am surprised to see 3/8 usually I see 3/4,this is the first time I see this. You know let me just confess something🤫: I get extremely intimidated by these quavers and demiquavers and J am not good with maths, and it looks that music and maths go hand in hand, allas, no wonder I chose to play by ear, hope is not wrong to be like this and I am not good at playing fast and I hope that this is not something against me... although I tend to... sort of suspect that but if keep away from it I'll be ok🙂. Thank you Mr Hoffman I apreciate your patience and love you put in these lessons, bless you.

I apologize that we aren't able to move forward as quickly as you are.

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Thank you!

[@chetanmehra437]

Please give a link for level 2 and 3

[@Hoffmanacademy]

There is no Fur Elise tutorial for levels 2 and 3. The "levels" are purely to show the difficulty level of the tutorial. We have a simplified version which is a "level 1" difficulty. Then, there is a "level 4" difficulty level tutorial. We also have "level 6" tutorials for Fur Elise to learn the full, original version. We don't have a version for levels 2, 3, and 5. I hope that makes sense!

[@ozzy6192]

What's the favourite song you've played on the piano Mr Hoffman?

[@Hoffmanacademy]

My favorite songs to play are “Clair de Lune” by Debussy and “Revolutionary Etude” by Chopin. -Mr. Hoffman

What do I do if I'm using a keyboard which has only about 44 keys?

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Hi! If you don't have enough keys on your keyboard, you may need to modify the song slightly by moving one or both hands an octave up or down, or leaving out some of the notes.

[@rileybagnall2250]

I am haveing trouble understanding the cords what keys do i press u didnt explain

[@Hoffmanacademy]

I'm sorry if I'm going too fast. If you want to slow the video down, you can always change the settings on the KZbin player. Just click on the gear symbol on the bottom of the video, then go up to click where it says "speed" and you'll be able to choose from several different options. Also, if you're finding this tutorial to be too challenging, you can always try our Preparatory level or level 1 tutorial for Für Elise. Preparatory: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGjLlmB9fLCmj9E Level 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYHTY55sbp1_i5o I hope that helps! Good luck and happy playing!

Hi! There are no tutorials on Fur Elise for Level 2, 3, or 5. We assign levels based on the difficulty level of the tutorial. This lesson is a "level 4" of difficulty. Our next 2 tutorials for Fur Elise have a "level 6" difficulty level. I hope that makes sense, and sorry for any confusion!

We do not have a level 3. If you find yourself somewhere between levels 1 and 4, I recommend you work hard on the Level 1 tutorial until you've totally mastered it, then start working on Level 4 in very small sections at a time. I hope that helps!

[@maxlusaya3597]

@@Hoffmanacademy thank you very much for your advice Mr. Hoffman, it must be hard for you to keep answering these never ending questions of is there a level 2 and 3 and can you do level 2 and 3 - even from me at the start) perhaps if you mention in your videos and the reason, less people will ask. Regarding your advice of practicing level one till we master it.....but level one is so different from level 4, in level 4 the right hand does all that is done in level 1 by two hands.....and the left hand is busy making other music :). but sure, i will try to learn from your fingers. i only have a keyboard that i practice from.

[@anonymouspianist6414]

Hey mr.Hoffman I have a question how is this grade 4 ? Is this RCM or abrsm ? Because as a 1 month piano player I was able to learn this in a few weeks

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Great question. Our lessons and leveling don't follow RCM or ABRSM. We base it on length of study since being an absolute beginner in music in general and piano in particular. I would expect a student who has taken piano lessons for about four years to be able to handle learning this piece in a few weeks. A new student could certainly learn it, especially memorizing it by rote; however, a 4-year student could pick up this (or similar) music on their own, read and understand the symbols on it without explanation, and do a great deal of the learning and practicing on their own. If you were very familiar with the song to begin with, have studied singing or played other instruments, or took piano lessons many years ago, those would all contribute to making this piece comparatively easy for you to learn. If none of those apply, it sounds like you have a knack for it. 😉

[@anonymouspianist6414]

Hoffman Academy thanks for the answer although I've never took piano lessons before or have been handling with music I was able to pick all that even as a 1 month player by the way I'm only 11 so does that mean I have a talent?

[@herbgaskin8841]

Where is the sheet music?

[@Deleted_user982]

Am I aloud to use just my finger?

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Do you mean just using one finger to play all of the notes? It's better to learn how to play with multiple fingers. If this tutorial is a little too challenging, check out our Preparatory level tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGjLlmB9fLCmj9E I hope that helps!

[@Deleted_user982]
