Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement - Complete Piano Lesson (2023)

[@thatannoyingguyz6790]

I’ve never played paino, but I work in a small shop that has one, I decided to sit down and play. It’s been 2 weeks and I’m currently through the first 26 minutes. I’m pretty proud of what I’ve accomplished already.

[@thatannoyingguyz6790]

Ay I’m now at part 4! Still working on it, also finally bought myself a nice keyboard. This video has actually Jsut kickstarted my new biggest hobby.

[@givonwhatley2638]

@@thatannoyingguyz6790righttt!! I saw a video the other day and we had a real old keyboard and decided to do some exercises and got addicted. Bought a new keyboard and practicing right after school and work lol

[@bryantgolden6215]

Ayy good job man, I finished it a couple months ago after about 2 months of work, it's really nice to play when you get it down.

[@dickyrorson8907]

Well done

[@dickyrorson8907]

Me to , I have to stop myself so I can go sleep , some times it's early owers , but I love it so much , x

I can't fathom how this was developed &. composed by ANY one, let alone a hearing impaired individual,.from centuries ago

[@jaysmith2151]

Are you serious Beethoven was hearing impaired? I don't get it everybody who plays piano starts playing songs they like and then they want to learn classical and this is who they go to first most of them.

[@gaurav0883]

He wasn't always deaf, but he gradually went..

[@printsofdarkness6603]

Deaf or hard of hearing. “Hearing impaired” is considered very disrespectful.

[@woodygamer360]

beethoven made this in 1802 when he was 30, which was just before his hearing problems arose ( according to wikipedia)

[@vector2-074]

He had perfect pitch for ( If I recall right) por over 20 years of his life

[@GB_04]

Finally learnt this piece after a full week of practise. It was only possible because of ur video. The step by step explanation made it so much easier. It felt like an absolute joy to finally complete one part and move to the other one all the way till the 7th part. Thanks a lot ❤❤❤

[@patrickwayne9074]

Whoever put all these notes together LOVES music. Everything about music. He shows respect for the power of music by making something worthy of hearing for centuries.

[@drippyz3882]

Funny it was Beethoven who made is😂

[@patrickwayne9074]

@@drippyz3882funny? I guess…everyone knows the name. Yeah, “deaf” but this is passion 👊🏼

[@MrHendo747]

Thank you so much for your easy to follow lessons... I grew up on organs not pianos so was taught this style of playing chords with left hand, bass with feet and melodies with the right... at 58 I have my first upright piano (a Feurich 2 crown concert) and just have parts 6 and 7 to go... I should just be polishing it up by next week... I'm so grateful for such a beautiful piece to play but hard to really play with the right sensitivity... what an incredible mind Beethoven had... the piano is truly infinite in its musicality and sadly these days not recognised by many as one of the world's most wonderful engineering creations in history, ever...

[@mangomosaics]

You are an excellent teacher. Your calm voice matches the calmness of the Moonlight Sonata! Thank you for breaking it down to chord shapes, I did that for Bach's Prelude in C as it helps. I started learning Moonlight on Monday. Four days later and it's going well. Still on the first eight measures, but I'm in no rush! Thank you! Caroline 🙏🏾🧡🙏🏾

[@jaysmith2151]

Looks like somebody finally put up a video where I can learn the first movement. 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much for this I have learned a lot of songs and the song I have wanted to learn the most in my life is this one.

[@VenomSkywalker.]

First day learning and I’m already in 20 minutes of the video man this is exhausting but so worth it

[@peestrem31]

I know but it's so rewarding reaching the next part of the video

[@karabinas]

Pinky g sharp gets me, I always mess up😢

[@joker.4619]

Thx for making a 1hour lesson and even for free!

[@donaldjones5486]

I must say this is the best piano tutorial video by far. You are truly amazing and a wonderful teacher. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are so patient, thoughtful and encouraging. Your tutorials are clear, concise and helpful. I am now a fan of your work. Thank you so much.

[@Nipkakuliptus]

I'm currently finished with the jojo giorno theme for the meme and to show of my friends when I meet them (in another country) and I'm currently in the first movement of quasi una fantasia or moonlight sonata and I am almost ready for the next movement, these tutorials help and I love how all of you in your channel make it so much easier to learn! And I thank you for that ❤

[@juliepiette1085]

I'm not ready for the second movement😅 it looks way harder

[@Nipkakuliptus]

@@juliepiette1085 don't worry it's all hard at first

[@mynameisntcreative6286]

New fav piano teacher on yt

[@beatlessteve1010]

Very very well broken down...this is a piece I have struggled with ...it's the addition of the pinky with the melody that gets me mixed up all the time..I cannot stay coordinated in this part...so I have to keep practicing and practicing

[@SimonasApanavicius]

Thank You for great tutorial. SO easy to understand and perfect even for totaly new players like me. Will do my best to learn this masterpiece.

[@nataliaewelina2380]

Wowww I just discovered this tutorial and I love it! Thank you so much for doing this, it’s basically piano online lessons. I’ve never seen another KZbin channel doing this before. Thank you so much! ❤

[@ZafroSoundz]

I'm re learning this after 20 odd years, could never really sight read very well so this has been a godsend. I'm literally learning the last part now and the fingering on the right hand came naturally, I'm sure I'm going to complete it this week. Thanks for a great video.

[@samantaneroli1265]

2 weeks into work and I just finished part 5. My brain is exhausted because I dont know how to read the notation so Im just memorizing it all. But Im really proud cuz Im playing 1 to 5 in such a beautiful way and its all thanks to you!! Thank you so much for the tutorial

[@stephanieweinberg9633]

I like that the notes are printed in the keys....I wish you did that for all the songs

[@francoisdormoy2615]

It is a fantastic tool to learn and practice when we cant read musis sheet. I just joined and I am pleased and since it is midnight I have to stop and continue tomorrow morning

[@runitupkin5976]

This guide is by far the most helpful on KZbin.. thank you!

[@DylPickle0517]

This is the first full two handed song and my hands are so cramped from this but it is worth it Im actually learning from it. Thx for the video ❤❤❤

[@patriciadore4222]

Wtf 😂😂

[@saphjules6058]

The only one I can’t do is the A and B 😂

[@rodtrues1]

That you for producing this tutorial of a Jam that brings tears to my eyes sometimes, the harmonies and changes are so relaxing to me, I guess that’s why I heard that Kobe Bryant (RIP) was learning this piece also, I bet it gave him that calming effect also,, I’ll work on the 2nd &3rd movements later, huh, maybe,,lololoo, thank you for the production,,

[@juliepiette1085]

Hii i was wondering if you have the others movement of this on your website your a very good teacher thank you for everything you do 🙏

[@ZeroCool995]

Thank you for giving me the ability to play one of my favorite piano pieces

[@achmadgunaryo2150]

Thank you so much. Easy to follow. I think your are the best teacher....🙏🙏

[@CurrentPiano]

6:39 is were i start to practice

[@sharedpollard4407]

Excellent tutorial. I was actually reading the sheet music wrong in some measures. All the accidentals and other odd notations confused me a bit. The visual here and playing chords first to learn the shapes was great. I also love breaking it into parts. Getting the feel right requires light LH octaves with heavier RH, BUT for only certain melody notes such as the G# ...dah, da-dah

[@mariadelosangelesgonzalezt6121]

Muchas gracias por estas lecciones, aunque estén inglés puedo medio entender lo que estas haciendo y gracias a ti estoy empezando a aprender en serio. Muchas gracias ✨💕.

[@Lon.BedStuyforLife]

I myself am working on my Spanish skills, so I appreciate your comment so much! I tried my best to translate what you said/meant. Anyone, please tell me how good or bad I did. Thanks! Thank you very much for your lessons Even though I only know a little English I understand enough. And thank you, I'm trying to seriously learn. Thank you very much.

[@zman666666mcc]

Very good job training video. I'm at about 85% in a short amount time for me. Looking forward for more soon. Best video on KZbin for me. I made it real on my self by slowing the video down in settings.

[@Ovvenchips]

Looks doable. Great teacher. Excited to try

[@D1mitr3s]

Thank you for you lesson! You are the best! ❤❤❤

[@mendyviola]

Thank you for this. I’ll be starting to study this in lessons soon, so it’s nice to get a little head start. Looks like I’m going to have to work on a fingered 9th.

[@kylethegamerkobe2293]

I forgot how to play piano... It was a painful truth to accept, everyday I kept lying to myself that it wasn't me but I realised I was just hurting myself. I really forgot what to do and I was so depressed that I can't play the music I once played. Now I'm still unable to accept it but I'm starting again

[@franchescatoukam6771]

After 3 months 😩, finally able to play it all 🎉🎉. Good lesson 🫡

[@Swiper535]

im so happy sombody put a full toutorial that makes sense with chorda and all

Day one and half way through. You tutorial is phenomenally done!

[@Jesuslovesyou-o7n]

I finally learned the whole thing in a month because of you thank you 😊

[@ShensoB]

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you.

[@sebcoff]

A Big thanks for this video

[@Little_piano_learner]

I have absolutely no clue what the keys mean like the letters but I find where the best sons is and then put tape in order with the number so first key pressed would be one and so on this helped me more because I have no clue how what the letters mean and I’d give it a try and also I think it’s best to learn the letters but I don’t care I wanna play

[@Bill_Woo]

For those of us less versatile, can you or anyone comment on the practical objections to using our safe friends Am or Em instead of C# minor, beyond the obvious heresy? As that goes, Dm may be an even easier simplification for we weenies, and it's only a half note away! Yes, I know that keys are not perfectly spaced, so a third in one key is necessarily perfectly the third in another, and every step you go off the original melody affect its distance from the upper and lower range of listening. Is it just that?

[@lindajones3427]

This is an excellent lesson. I have been working on this movement for two months with some trouble. I watched this video and it has helped me tremendously! I am working on the parts individually. Can you explain how someone with small hands should handle the ninths?

Took me 2 weeks. Finally finished it.

[@rajkumar2311]

Awesomeness awesomeness awesomeness

[@EasyPianoTutorials]

Beautiful tutorial

[@DD38]

This was great! I was able to learn all the parts within 3 weeks. Thank you so much for putting this together and allow me to learn such a beautiful classical piece. I do have a quick question: the G-sharp 7th chord (just prior to the part where the melody switches from right hand to left hand), you played a regular G-sharp (not G-sharp 7th) in the final playthrough, was that intentional? (I thought it sounded better).

[@Shadow_2055]

Dude! I literally searched this song up because now that I’ve been practicing the piano, I got curious the name of this song and it was from Resident Evil on the Nintendo GameCube!! 😃 ❤❤

[@smoresowltonowlton787]

This is my dream song to learn. Really helpful!

Omg thank you so much bc i actully just done this in one day so thank you😅

I mean, the "countdown" to the broadcast, that has now been stripped off. Sometimes live and "premiere" broadcasts have those countdowns and this was a tremendous one.
