Hi Jazer, I'm a huge fan. I'm subscribed to your channel, and you teach me a lot with these tips and tricks on the piano. I was wondering if you could do a class on learning the notes? I don't think I've found a video for that yet, or else I would've already watched it. 😕 I'm still a beginner, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm still struggling to learn those notes.

I also started about 3 years ago at the age of 40 . However, could not practice regularly. But I have been playing a lot of pieces. For short pieces which do not have notes to be played in high spped and octaves, I can learn with a few days of practice. But complex pieces, and octaves , I cannot learn fast. I wonder ,if my progress is really slow. Since last 8 months , I have been practicing 1-3 hours everyday. I do have really small hands.

When I'm alone and just playing for myself, it usually works very well. In front of an audience, even just one person, I get nervous and make mistakes. To combat this stage fright, someone recommended to me a few weeks ago that I simply play with the window open. And indeed! In the beginning I was too nervous, BUT somehow I have become much more relaxed and in the meantime I am no longer so nervous when I know that someone might be listening.

After 1 year of taking piano lessons AND practicing daily, maybe not optimally but daily. Then I started the Prelude in C, and it still took me (among other excersises ) more than 4 months to get it on a nice flow ( slower than your example ). That was a little disheartening but good stuff.

A piece I can recommend for those who have played for just 2-3 years, is the 2nd movement of Mozarts C-major sonata KV545. It's really really beautiful and not particularly hard (written i G-major). It has a steady Alberti base for most of the time and is written in Andante which is not too fast for a piano player of 2-3 years of experience.

I 'm 30yo, never played before. Bought a digital piano 2 weeks ago and I have been emerging myself into theory and practice. My goal is to be able to play the Moonlight Sonata fully. For now, I have been slowly learning the first 10 bars of the first movement and getting frustrated my fingers do not listen and I spend too much time moving my fingers to the right keys and the rhythm is lost. I am overachiever and want everything for yesterday and being this bad at something is extremely challenging. It is hard to find motivation to keep doing something I am so bad at, which is illogical because any skill takes time to develop, but this is my personal struggle. I wanted to thank you for the video, now I need to readjust my goals and get into a more realistic expectations of what I should be able to do after 2 weeks :D

Yes, also, maybe the first time in playing is the hardest because as you say, you're an absolut beginner and adults are not that used to it anymore. I'm playing for eight months and it's great to see when something that felt difficult is now easier to play, soo.. probably just "hang on" (no idea if that is a common way to say "stay with it" ahh I don't even know if that is right, anyway keep going 👍)

That's so encouraging - I'm 64 and worried I was too old. I started with a few lessons over a year ago with a very nice piano teacher. Sadly my husband's cancer got worse and I had to stop. He died on New Year's day '23. I resumed piano playing almost immediately - as a form of grief therapy. It's been a life-long dream to play. Then I broke my left hand wrist quite badly and had to stop again. Got right back to it as soon as I could with the same wonderful teacher. It's a great form of recovery exercise, it turns out! I love it so much I practice at least 3 x 15mins a day. Impatient to be better. This is a great channel - like having a resident piano teacher on call!

Great tips: 6:23 a little slip up saying the "Prelude in C" by Bach or Petzold. Normally we'd attribute the "Minuet in G" & Gm from the Notebook for Anna M to Petzold. The Prelude in C came from the Well-Tempered Clavier which was by Bach and not Petzold.

I hate to say I started with super easy , the easy play today Hal Lenard, I’m doing the Alfred’s books , finished level 1 , I read music very slow , and don’t do well with much more than left hand chords right hand melody . I understand chords and using them in different positions. But I don’t feel like I am progressing much, I understand sight reading but again I am slow, I had a lot of tension the first few months but don’t any more .

I also found it’s been good for my adhd, since it gets me out of waiting paralysis and allows me to focus on something long enough to clear any cluttered thinking.

I started learning the piano at age 40 from absolute zero, didn’t know how to read music, hand no finger dexterity, had zero hand independence, had no teacher, had to write the letter of each note on my sheet music and slowly read it practicing bar by bar. Probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, however I practiced consistently for 45min to an Hr a day every single day. It’s been exactly 1 yr now, I can play about 5 different pieces of music from memory. However, the problem is I still can’t read music, so learning new pieces i start to forget a lot of the songs I learned months ago, since your brain can only fit so much from memory. Nevertheless, Being able to play some of the music that I would have never imagined at the start of my journey has been extremely rewarding and a great sense of accomplishment. The key is to make it apart of your life, have to do it every single day.

I am in my 50s. Been playing for over a year, after I took an early retirement and finally have the time to commit to it. I am always adding new pieces to my repertoire even though I have to keep playing my previously learned pieces so I don’t get rusty. I use ForScore on my iPad and annotate pieces so I can go back and work on passages that are a bit tricky. I feel that the most important thing is to “read” as much new music as I can. I have a neighbor who also started piano last year and we encourage each other. Keep up the hard work.

One has to learn the system/rule of notation and feel the rhythm internally. Metronome does not help you play with correct rhythm nor count for you. It will show you whether you are playing with steady beat or not and help identify where the rough spots are on the music. In most cases, the cause of not being able to keep the tempo is due to the technique not meeting the challenge of the passage, not because of not knowing how to count.

Recording your playing at any level is extremely important. What you think you're playing is not always what your audience is actually hearing. You'll usually find hidden issues with rhythm, tempo or phrasing that can only be caught when you actually listen to what you're playing without distraction.

I started playing Piano 2 years ago. Personally I started with learning music for Ludovico Einaudi, which was surprisingly easy since apparently his music is very formulaic and somewhat simple. Last I learned to play was the 3rd mvmt of the Moonlight Sonata, which I never expected to be able to learn within 2 years when I initially started. Learning definitely goes a lot faster than people make it out to be, granted it's more flawed. My main issue currently is that I dont retain songs very well. I tend to forget the more complicated songs very quickly when I dive deeper into a new song, which is currently my greatest frustration, definitely hope that improves in the future. I'd say my biggest weakness is currently playing scales quickly, but I guess that's because I never sat down to practice it, which I really just have myself to blame for xd

Since you played the Moonlight Sonata MO.1 in the 3rd year progress. Does that mean that I shouldn't attempt it after 3 months of playing? I just finished Gymnopédie No.1 and the Minecraft - Sweden piece and wanted to tackle Moonlight today. Would you suggest I try another piece or should I go ahead an learn the first mouvement?

I see sight reading as a means to an end. I use it in the beginning to actually learn the notes, write the fingering, learn the progression. But as soon as possible I try to memorize sections and eventually the whole song so that I don't need to read it ever again. Until I forget something and go back to check. Repeat the method for a new song. Am I wrong?

I (self-taught) have been playing the piano for 18 years, making countless mistakes. From my experience what is very important is to do finger exercises early and on a regular basis. This is so so so important for developing your finger strength. If you skip this step, practicing pieces alone will not take you very far. I also discovered scale training very late. Generally my practice was limited at the beginning (basically only Hanon), while I now do a broad range of exercises like lying fingers, staccato, arpeggios etc.

I just hope to be able to be independent hands / play at different tempos without thinking about both hands in the next 6 months. I want to be able to play my favorite music through the piano.

Having a specific goal like that is great. Jazer didn't mention it, but I think being too vague about goals can definitely hold a person back.

I'm starting over this year with a digital keyboard. I'm fortunate my husband plays piano, and has quite a lot of classical sheet music on hand. Rather than using the old beginner books from my childhood lessons, which did not "spark joy," I have Bartok! His progressive pieces in 6 volumes called "Mikrokosmos" is amazing. I love modern and contemporary classical music, and even the simple pieces of book 1 have sophistication and beauty - and I'm sight reading all the time. And rather than using the repetitive Hanon, I found a book called "Hand Equalization Studies" by Reuven V. Kosakoff, based on etudes of Carl Czerny. I don't think it's in print - my copy is from 1949. Each piece is in two parts, usually a major and minor key, with each hand getting an equal workout. I've found it is great brain exercise, too, especially playing hands together. I really appreciate your KZbin lessons, btw!

I have a question for you. I got the Soundbrenner the Pulse for a gift this past Christmas but I would like to set it to the pre-set metronome settings however, when I go to this it drains my phone's battery super fast and is hard to shut it off. Any help. I would like to be able to set it and know that it is at 50 bpm or 120 bpm. If I can get that part straightened out I know that it is just what I have been looking for. Feeling the beat is much less distracting and annoying than hearing it.

Sight reading is the product of 1) time-built experience by reading lots of sheets, and 2) music theory, that enables the pianist to recognise the chord patterns and the notes in each key
