The Perfect Piano Daily Practice Routine for Beginners

[@luisrojas3755]

You are a hell of a good teacher. I am a retired Chilean teacher who regrets not having come across your classes before

[@quads4life1]

the red fingernail pollish really helps me see where your fingers are placed

[@philippabertacco7919]

I love your gentle but clear teaching style ❤ My 2 little girls have just started piano lessons and I'm relearning what I knew 30 years ago too. Your channel is going to be watched daily by all of us. 😊

[@Suncoastpainting]

Your videos are perfect for a beginner like me. You are an excellent teacher.

[@leonardodalongisland]

I am SOO Happy! I JUST started and I'm here I am playing (a scale) with TWO HANDS the first time I tried!! Never imagined that I'd be using two hands-at the same time on a piano!! THANK YOU!!

[@lalamalelang5670]

Wow thats great. Keep it up.

[@kale280]

i hope you're still doing great.

[@christopherbellpianist]

I'm an adult Beginner of 5 Years and I Like Your Videos I Hope to watch your Free Training when I get a moment I don't like classical Lessons I'm actually looking For more Pop/Christian Pop even though I want to Play Some Classical and I'm one of those Pianists stuck Playing Mary had a Little Lamb.

[@pennythecat]

You are an excellent teacher and I love the routine you have developed for us newbies! Thank you.

[@raymondgeorge6152]

Beautiful way of teaching God bless you.

[@MarionSimon-w8y]

I.m new, all green. I have had a passion for playing for a long time. I sang with a gospel group for a while and that really reminded me of spending my piano lesson on a pool game when I was young. So long story short, here I am and I think you are a fantastic instructor and I will be communicating with you in the near future and Thanks a million!

[@Arkham1010]

I purchased the book you recommended and got it yesterday. Its amazing, thank you so much for that recommendation. Its good to get information from various places to see the explanations provided in different ways. Some of the things they talk about I have no clue about, like a 'Dominant seventh arpeggio', but that will come in time. Your series plus my weekly instruction is really helping. As an aside, I'm listening to music a totally different way since I started learning piano. While I might not be able to name chords being played, I recognize them and the progressions in the music. Great stuff! [edit] Oh,as far as problems I have, I find myself getting bored of practicing after about 30-40 minutes, especially if I am getting frustrated with not getting one thing right, and I keep doing it over and over. I found that if i break up my practicing into smaller blocks that helps overcome the boredom issue, as well as allows my brain to digest what I have been doing. Two sessions of 20 minutes per day seems better than one long 40-50 minute session.

[@pianoly]

I’m glad my videos are helping! And to your practice comment- I usually go 45 minutes and never any longer without a break. There is some research that you cannot focus very well for more than 45 min. Always take a break after that 👍

[@lindsey_sro]

5:28 I ordered that book a couple weeks ago cause of your suggestion and I’m LOVING IT ❤❤❤

[@musicandairplanes6330]

I just love how you are teaching! I have learned more in 5 of your videos than I have learned in 5 years with a book.

[@nancysworld4178]

I started teaching myself piano a couple of years ago with KZbin then I stopped. Did it for a couple of months but did not progress much. Now I thought about starting again and I found your video. This is a great way to practice since I didn't know what to do before. My biggest challenge is keeping all of my fingers on the correct keys at I go up and down the piano especially my pinkies and ring fingers. I am also 62 and disabled and my hand dexterity is not as good as it used to be

[@cherylnathanodette]

Thank you lots of brilliant advice, never learning much music but years of singing I tried, clarinet, drums, flute, guitar but much prefer keyboard, bought a dinky one as a child but wish I'd kept it up.

[@_KUNAL_-_]

It's my first time on your channel and I am also a beginner, thank you for this amazing video.

[@pianoly]

You're so welcome!

[@TerryThomas-v1c]

When I went through the five finger exercises', I said to myself, there has got to be a better way. I soon found that yes there was. It uses the ear as a guide to the development of chords outside the standard harmonic standard. I first had to clear my mind of what piano teachers deem correct and expand my mind to accept a wider idea of what is musical. although it took lots of practice it was not too long to find a whole new approach time signatures, chord changes, and development section, in a new look at music. These changes led me to writing music for 6 ballet companies in New York City.

[@blackranger900]

i like the instruction to work on each section, especially thee tough spots till you master them. the thing i want to learn better is using fills and riffs in worship songs.

[@neildollars2006]

very helpful TY God bless ❤❤❤

[@jbentonio]

Another very helpful and encouraging video for my piano journey. Thank you! The thing I struggle most with in practicing piano is making the time. But as you say, even 10 minutes can be productive!

[@pianoly]

You can do it!

[@nahumcanals2184]

Thanks!

[@pianoly]

Thank you so so much!

[@lalamalelang5670]

Hi Im a beginner also in piano lesson keyboard. I can read notes music sheet. Im glad to see ur channel. Im refreshing also my piano lessons too. Im starting all over again and again. Ive learned a lot from u. Thanks so much. Im from Philippines

[@zulby09]

C major scale may be the easiest to understand the backbone concept of how scales are formed by sight and ear using semitones and tones, and then translate that to the remaining 11 scales. But this is the first time I understand the reason for using D flat scale even though initially it looks dauntingly difficult - it is to familiarise the beginner with finger work playing by synchronising the usage of both thumbs

[@lawrencegorski7174]

Thank you for suggestions - i have signed up for your sight - and will practice scales and cords as you suggested….thank you. LT

[@chingthuilungkamei]

I like the way how you teach, it's easier to catch up. Thank you

[@briangreen-ip8ys]

Hi, I struggle most remembering chords left hand, love listening to you, I have leant a lot, thank you

[@jcochranga]

Great video. How do you know which note(s) to play with your left hand?

[@NGI67]

love your lessons, great way to begin simple and very practical and well thought out. thanks

[@onelovetroupe1147]

I love from Uganda

[@jamesallan8052]

Great instruction and insperation, as a guitarist this is the type of instruction I need to improve on the piano.

[@Stanpianoman-zs7gy]

Thank you wise teacher for your superlative instructions.

[@mariehood4222]

I am a senior, and I like the way your methods.

[@ricklarson9312]

Such a wonder teaching method - top of the line.. Lee 1-24-24

[@cledulin]

How did she go from the chord notation on Imagine to knowing what to play in what hand and how? Looked like magic to me.

[@johnannaradnam]

your videos are fantastic, easy to follow and encourages me to persevere..I am 76 years old!!!

[@SrSalomeOroke]

This is the best teacher I have experienced,I would like to learn it

[@jkj1459]

BEST TEACHER. BETTER METHODS INVENTED BY YOU 😮✌️✌️👍👍👌👌

[@satheprem4377]

U are very good teacher

[@karenscott2409]

Retired high school class & private piano teacher. I like your channel!!😊

[@VinodKumarMona]

Thank you madam the way your teaching is awesome.

[@ronniewetherington509]

Great information. I am a 65 year old man who's been dabbling with guitar and other instruments for the past few years. I've learned a lot but putting it together on any instrument is a painful struggle with not any truly satisfying outcomes. I began keyboard last December and like other instruments the struggle is the same. I like the way you started out with the warm up routine and then move forward to further steps. Thanks for sharing your experience and teaching progress. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.!

[@breyanahfrancis9525]

there’s also a video by marks piano called “Complete Piano Theory Course: Chords, Intervals, Scales & More!” HUGE help for beginners to learn piano theory and understand even more what you are playing. i’m only 16 and this 2 hour course helped me so much to become basically intermediate on keyboard

[@ronniewetherington509]

Thanks for sharing

[@patrickmugerwa75]

Thank you very much for gentle teachings, I am strugling to differentiate between chords and solfars plus knowing which key to play with my left hand to match the right one

[@blaupunkt1619]

One of the best videos about practice routine I've seen. In my opinion, you're absolutely right: we ought to start with warm up + scales + chords. I'd also add arpeggios of that particular scale as well, followed by one Hanon exercise. Then, and only then, we could kick off our "real study" - I mean, any method in particular (books, videos, one-on-one lesson etc) and repertoire. Best regards!

[@Mira3441]

You are a wonderful teacher!❤

[@colinjones5423]

Hi Kaitlyn. Hand independence is the most difficult for me. Can you suggest some exercises to improve please? Thanks, Colin

[@ProgramistaNaBudowie]

Thank you for the video and sharing your knowledge! Can't wait to buy a piano and start learning.

[@sameersadiq5884]

You are a good piano teacher 🎉

[@quintayshaw2378]

Slowly play during my lessons from the app I’m not quite a beginner nor intermediate I’m in between the two since I started making beats in 2014 with no music background I’ve been studying chords since then now I’m learning to play the piano it’s been two months that I’ve started actually playing and I’m a little bit to fast for the piano teaching apps I use to the point they don’t pick up on the note and mark it wrong and reading each note a little tricky sometimes

[@MrJohnnykhoo88]

Thank you Ms Kaithlyn 🙏🏻🥰❤️

[@e.m-two]

It's an amazing style of teaching, you teach everything slowly and it's very important for beginners. I'm full of hope i will know everything about piano by your youtube video. Finally i love your teaching style keep up your good work.!

[@Als_venue]

I love the way you teach. Il be sure to check all your videos. Thank you for your videos

[@artonpaper]

I Struggle with my fingers. First is strength to push hard into the key. Next is the LH 5 (pinky) and RH 1 (thumb) to be coordinated. But I am working and practicing on this. Thanks, Art

[@alexanderalmeda438]

You are an excellent teacher. I learned a lot from you. Thanks a lot.

[@koteydjanie6728]

you pretty good and your handling of the lessons, and I like the way you take your time to go step by step

[@joan3436]

Thank you so much. Just finished the first exercises and I am now on the second exercises. I cannot still play with my both hands simultaneously and still uses the wrong fingers at times but I will keep on practicing until I can play it using the correct fingers. I am so excited to learn from your other videos after I these exercises. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@untoldstory176]

Veeery Nice, Training is everything!

[@lestere.a.wilson6501]

Hey Katelyn, you are the best... I accidentally came across your channel by chance and subscribed immediately. Why? because you really simplify things that people who are competent can easily do,so they assume that beginners can do the same. I have an advantage,because I am actually a musician who actually am familiar with most things on the piano. But your lessons are teaching me little techniques I’m not aware of. ❤❤❤🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😎👍

[@Retirados-yv2lm]

Just saw your video tonight. I am trying to learn how to play the piano and your practice routine is what I have been looking for. You ask what I am having a tough time with? I am having a hard time controlling my 4th finger when playing the chord C major. Do you have a good tip on how to discipline that finger from hitting the piano key when it is not supposed to? Thanks a lot.

[@setlows1]

Absolutely loved the beginning of your video… You went a little fast when starting to learn a new song…as a beginner, I was wondering if you could do a video learning a new song a little slower. Thanks!

[@ProgramistaNaBudowie]

What I struggle most with practicing a piano? Wondering if I should buy Roland FP-10/Casio CDP-S110 or maybe Roland FP-30x/Kawai ES120 ;)

[@DrRaghavanRPanicker]

Namasthe, Thanks for the presentation.Notes for each chord can be shown on the screen.That wd be more helpful.Your teaching style is much appreciated.🙏🏻

[@sandrafol878]

Hi, thanks for your video's! I was wondering, for instantce in the song Imagin, how do you decide what to do with the left hand?

[@elenad3786]

Very helpful advices. Thank you!

[@Lothar.D]

Thank you so much!!! Im a beginner and find your teaching very helpful!

[@dsantos8159]

I’m a total beginner to learning piano. I’m struggling with fingers as I am used to using right fingers due to the nature of work ( accounts work using numeric keys in keyboard everyday). My left fingers are more idle than right. I guess the finger exercise will be very helpful.

[@okaforeberechukwu5122]

You are so good with your technics 😊

[@emanmahmoud9439]

Excellent teacher

[@PabloIvo111]

Hello Kaitlyn, As I have chubby hands with short fingers, should I practice my chords (ex. C Major, etc...) with my right-hand fingers 1 2 4 instead of 1 3 5, because it seems easier for me. Or should I keep using 1 3 5? Remember, I am a real beginner, I just bought my first keyboard. What about my left hand... Which fingers should I use? I have a long way to go, and I want to start on "the right note". Buy the way, thank you so much for everything (videos, cheat sheets, etc.). You'll be,for sure, very helpful!

[@BettyHorton-c4p]

I enjoyed your piano lessons thank you

[@jeannetteantry1086]

I almost completely self-taught. I did take lessons years ago when my daughter took them. I have been pushing pretty hard these last few years to regain what I lost when I didn't have any real direction and had to apply my time to my nursing role. Now that I am retired, I try for at least 2 hours a day. But now my memory doesn't work as well. I have applied all the hard work and diligence you advocate in your videos. I have watched a lot of great videos and learned a great deal. I do tend to get bored and struggle with any program for too long. have developed good sight-reading habits and learned all the notes on the keyboard. Now I am learning the scales. I like how you direct your students to learn the scales and the chords. I have worked hard to learn those chords but I am not solid even on the c major scale chords. Seeing you play them and playing along with you, does really help me to make sense of it all. And now I know how to use the damper pedal. I love how you use chords to figure out the songs. I would love to develop that skill. I do plan to use your videos for direction so I can get this skill and play more of what I love without having to break down all the music of the songs I really want to learn and play. You are a lovely teacher with a lot of talent and a beautiful voice. I am not so lucky. I struggle with to sing and always have. But being able to play music and songs in my key is what drives me to play the piano. Even without a good voice. I still love to sing to my music. Thank you for all your hard work and efforts. it has been a challenge to find a piano teacher that will mentor older students. I can see my motivation and my direction improve a lot following your videos.

[@lalamalelang5670]

I really like and love to sing a lot. I dont have a good voice too. But I can play piano keyboard read notes music sheet. But now still tryinh to enhance my singing too. Bcause i really like to sing a lot. Just keep on singing. music is my life too.

[@lalamalelang5670]

Hope she have also fb acct for the students to interact with other students and sharing it.

[@ravisekharkalapala217]

Good teaching

[@phyllisgordon6577]

Thanks for your tips. Do you recommend the same routine for those of us who want to play traditional church music. By the way I am also retired and it seems that I am taking an inordinately loooongg time to master mysic.

[@PatKempen-l4b]

I'm encouraged by you!

[@bruceviele1070]

I will try to comment again as my last didn't seem to save here. Had a passion to play piano for yr and love esp soft relaxing songs and some classic hits. Now retired with more time to learn but harder of course. No formal lessons yet except from some into bks but now mostly KZbin. But very overwhelming with so many version available have tried and then get stuck and frustrated. I do love your warming exercises and will try all them. I am so anxious to learn some songs right away to give me confidence. I like your demo on "Imagine". But hard to tell some of the notes you are playing on chords such as CMaj7. I figure this must be an inversion but the graphics to not state that. Do you other videos get into more detail? Thank you Kaitlyn. Bruce

[@morisachid5907]

Iam new here but your teaching is great and easy to follow. You are patient to in your speech.

Hmmm... my hands/wrists won't bend enough to play the chords on the left side of the keyboard with my right hand and vice versa. Is it a body position/technique thing, or am I just a total klutz? Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@zimway57]

Love your videos. 66yo who took lessons for 7 years as child ( took summers off to play outside). I have no speed on the keys and struggle with songs in keys with lots of sharps or flats. I have no routine for practice and I enjoy playing but I truly never master any favorite songs enough to play in front of others. I make too many mistakes and maybe I’m trying to master something beyond my level of expertise. I also have trouble singing along while just playing the chords. I’ve always just played r.h. Melody and l.h. Harmony. I am not sure w😊here to start backtracking to instruction I missed as a youngster. Any recommendations appreciated.

[@isaiasreis1001]

Nice to meet you❤

[@phyllisgordon6577]

Thanks. Do you have a technique or tutorial for learning the chords? I know you recommended a book. Thanks.
