I’m with you. I’m also a guitar player for about 30 years and good at the instrument. I started playing piano recently and thought I wouldn’t have an issue since my picking hand and fretting hand don’t do the same thing either. I feel like my guitar playing has really only helped with the fact that I have decent finger independence. Other than that, I’m struggling.

Looking at what Mr. Christoffer Keizer and Mr. David Baker have written, i get the confidence that i will one day learn playing both Piano and Guitar. Well, i can certainly hope.

Start very simple with just a few notes on each hand and take as much time as you need until each exercise is mastered. It took me weeks but I finally got it.

When you begin piano, the right and left hand each learn a separate horizontal sequence of notes. When you begin hands together, view the score as vertical stacks of notes played at the same time. This step orients the brain to coordinate the hands. For each stack of more than two notes, slowly move through the score playing each stack and using the fingers you used in learning each hand separately. When you can repeat this effortlessly, stack by stack, slowly play with hands together, watching the stacks come by and go. No tears, no fears, no sweat.

Amazing, thank you! I've "played" for years, never had a lesson, don't know how to read music and only learned one scale, a couple of songs and a very basic collection of chords. About 2-years ago I watched a video that taught me how chords worked and that opened up a whole lot but I'd never been able to grasp the concept of playing with 2 hands other than one finger on the same beat. I first watched this video on Feb 1st and these exercises, up to #8, changed the way I'm able to use my left hand. Last night I felt ready to try exercise 9 and I was fully lost but then I saw your slowed down video and it made sense to me! The hand percussion totally put it into my head and a couple of hours later I was actually able to do it! Thank you so much! #10 once I'm fully comfortable with this. Also from some of your other videos, your advice to repeat something 7-times, that it's better to do it slowly and correctly over quickly and wrong, and practicing small sections rather than the whole thing have also really helped. Thanks again.

I am in my 61st year and tomorrow I will have been playing for two weeks. Understanding the need for the basics, I am concentrating more on technical skills than trying to learn songs at this point (the one exception is Autumn Leaves). I have watched a number of your videos for beginners, and your tutorials have helped greatly, especially keeping the fingers on the keys. I have noticed that my thumbs are the hardest to control, not that I am lifting, but they tend to move sideways (to either the B [in the right hand] or the A [in the left]). But I'll get it down.

Top tip. Your hands don't belong to you, and your brain has gone to sleep. You don't need your brain, your hands just need to do their thing. At the piano, your hands want nothing to do with you. If you can do this, you have freedom. And I'm new to it. But l know alot about muscle memory.

[@anarchyfork2676]

@@jimmy2minutes I guess I can relate as a gamer. With aiming and moving your crosshair to where you want to aim, muscle memory takes over and you never even think "I want to aim there". It's a trained reflex, accurate anticipation and trained coordination of the eyes, hands, gross and fine motor skills. The key is practice, and like you study. Don't do it to the point you burn out or accidentally learn how to make the mistakes instead of the correct way, and do it once a day, twice if you need to but spaced out.

My guy, this is my first comment in months. I just wanted to let you know you have a very good vibe and it cheered me up instantly. Great content too, keep it up and thank you!

[@diaryofnricom163]

These exercises look awesome. Thank you. I probably spent 10 hours on piano over 1 month and then came across these exercises today. Reached level 3 today but will try to spend 30 minutes a day to see where I can reach. Day 3: Got to level 4. Slow and steady. Find it difficult to switch between 3 and 4 but i suppose that is ok Day 4 and 5: Able to reach up to level 8 now but no success in matching metronome yet. In case anyone is reading this, what clicked for me was this : I looked and concentrated only on hand that was doing more repetitions and somehow it worked for me as other hand at that time is just doing one key at a time and that is probably taken care of by level 1 and 2 practice. That is just my guess. Now to level 9 tomorrow. 😅😅

I am so glad I found your lessons. I am self taught on piano and I have so many bad habits. The strange thing is, I have a Master's Degree in music (vocal) and I also compose music. I composed a set of 3 songs for my Master's Recital but I cannot play any of them as they are too complicated. At the time, I bought the Finale software and input all the music one note at a time. The first time I played it back on the computer, I cried when I heard it (tears of joy). Vocally, I can sight-read just about anything, but on the piano, I can sight read it until I have to play it. When I compose, I hear it in my head, then write it down. I would love to be able to play the piano parts as I hear them in my head. I have a very good understanding of music theory, but my piano skills are so weak. I would like to be able to play my compositions. I am hoping your series of lessons will help me out! They make a lot of sense. Just curious, how long do you think it would take me to become somewhat proficient?

My own finger and thumb-bungling tell me that it can't be done. I'm 75, and an absolute piano and music beginner. BUT, I knew it wouldn't come easy at this age, so I'll keep trying. It sounds like you're a good musician, in your own right. Hopefully you, too, can make some headway. Good Luck

[@raulpuertas9310]

I've been playing the guitar for 30 years, and I can't believe how fast I get the piano. Of course, I'm just a beginner, but I find it so much fun and accessible. I am kicking myself how I had a piano in my room and never played it!

[@rukundo3119]

I found useful to forget that you have 2 hands since the beginning, and use your 10 fingers as if they were on one hand. Feed your memory with this, it will work. The one problem with this is that once you master the song it becomes difficult to play it with one hand.

[@jazerleepiano]

Which level could you get up to? Be honest! 😋

Im oddly proud of the fact that under 15 minutes I am now stuck in the mirror fingers part. (Without them lifting up.)

This is a VERY good guide, thank you!

Hi

[@AdmMusicc]

Would love to see videos on dynamics. The worst part of self-teaching the piano is dynamics in my opinion, since there is no real means of knowing whether I am playing "pianosimmo" or "piano" or "mp" etc, considering that they are all sound levels. Also, exercises and tips for playing one hand softer than the other would be very much appreciated! Loved this video by the way ^_^

Thanks so much Maulik, I won't be doing a video explaining this but some quick tips right now is- look at the sheet music and study where the rhythms come in exactly. You can also practice tapping on the table the rhythm before playing on the piano. Hope this helps

[@jacquelinelawrences9219]

II'm an absolute beginner here (2 weeks and counting). It took me a few days to get to level 7 & 8. I think it will take longer than that to crack level 9. What helped me though was to focus my concentration on the hand that was doing the quicker movement as that is what helped me do the exercise you showed at the beginning - having kept thumping the palm of my hand on leg rather than stroking it 🙂. Absolutely love your channel! Thanks for sharing your gift.

Just come across this video as I've started learning the piano. I've been playing the guitar for years, and to a pretty good standard. But, these exercises are unbelievably hard. Takes me right back at where i was a beginning at the guitar. I knew learning a new instrument wouldn't be easy, obviously because i was once a beginner at the guitar. But i think I'm going to find learning the piano even more harder than what i already thought.
