Hello Sir how are you 😇

[@pradyumnasharma4893]

Mistake 3 & 4 both

[@doublegrace2640]

I really want to play piano as my project work in my finales. I only have two years to learn. Can I really achieve this.

[@enginerdy]

#3 is called “chunking” and works for all skills and memory tasks. You learn bigger and bigger building blocks, then you can build something bigger and more complex very easily.

[@nahblue]

Not only chunking but also the prerequisite: comprehension. From simpler to more advanced. Let's say you see the chord progression C D G - what you take away depends on music theory knowlege. Maybe you first notice that these are chords that are familiar to me (starting with a very basic, but useful, step!). Then that they are all diatonic to G-major, then maybe functional relationships between them, or maybe you recognize this from a particular song in a different key, any kind of advanced concept like this - this is how more and more comprehension lets you form the chunks of information. :)

[@BewmieBawks]

Man, I needed to hear that it took 3 months to learn an easy piece when you first started. It always feels like I'm not getting it fast enough.

[@TheMuteSwan]

That's how I feel too! I started learning a year ago and one page of easy music takes ages to learn! I know that with practice and experience I will get better, and more efficient at learning pieces.

[@Keira88]

@@TheMuteSwan it's like that at beginning but if you keep practicing it gets faster and easier 👍🙂

[@frqv]

I would not worrie about learning time after 3 month. I myself are only 8 month in or so and still need alot of time to figure things out. But: It gets better! Slowly, but it do. And if i have the next improvement, when i can do things with more ease than before, it really is motivating. I look forward to the future. :)

[@jazerleepiano]

You're doing good BewmBawks, just be patient and you'll get great results. The kids and ''prodigies'' you see on the internet are generally combinations of mininum 3 hours daily practice + great teachers + extremely supportive parents who manage the practice sessions well. The kids may look innocent and naive, but they have had more time on the instrument than most adults- it just doesn't look like it from the surface level. In the end it all comes down to the hours you log in my opinion. Someone who has done 10,000 hours is going to play and see music in a completely different way to someone else who has logged 400 hours.

[@lastbornrelic3430]

@@frqv I've been playing exactly 8 months too 😂want to share what we have completed so far?just saying I've only played the same 4 pieces for 4 months straight so not much progress more or less 4 months of practice but still what and how any pieces have you learned

[@Robertbrucelockhart]

The speed at which one can learn a piece depends somewhat on what “learning” means. I hesitate to add to my repertoire because I continue to make little mistakes on previously learned pieces. I have this idea (inculcated in me by my first music teacher) that I should not move on to another piece until I have played the current one PERFECTLY. BUT since nothing is ever really “perfect,” that rather subjective standard makes it difficult to move on to another piece. I’m a self-teaching adult beginner on the piano, and there are still troublesome passages in all 8 pieces that I have “learned” in my first year of playing. My fear is always that I’m moving too fast.

[@hadyanfakhri5967]

0:25 Mistake number 1 : Lack of piece practice 2:48 Mistake number 2 : Lack of technique practice 5:16 Mistake number 3 : Lack of theory practice 7:36 Mistake number 4 : Lack of listening practice The point is, GO PRACTICE! PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!

[@quintonballenden1436]

Guilty but getting better. Can you do a video on tension. I am discovering that I am only able to release some of the tension the more familiar I become with the piece I am learning. Initially it is as if I am clinging on for dear life. I struggle to relax and keep focus.

[@jorgerivas1424]

Thanks! Now I don't feel guilty about spending 6 months on a very difficult cello etude. On piano, it's been helpful to do Hanon etudes and also play different pieces during the same practice session. I've recently taken up jazz piano and found that it has improved my overall musical performance in other genres, reinforcing what you are saying about quantity and variety. The flip side is that in playing too many pieces I end up learning morsels and not entire pieces.

[@lucasmoreno7926]

I know how to play only two pieces, one of them is the 1 mvt. of the Moonlight Sonata. It took me around 1 month and a half to memorize but it means a lot to me being able to play this right now, because it's one of my favorite pieces of all time. And I'm very thankful to you Jazer, for your encouragement and tips for begginers. Thank you so much!

[@dauntiekay2768]

Yes, I see now that I am going to have to expand my piano world to included more new pieces. You are truly a teacher at heart!!!

[@michaelstanton9697]

Learning new pieces... I don't like moving on to a new piece until I've mastered the one I'm working on. This usually means practising a piece over and over until I can play it mistake free. This is probably the thing that slows me down the most. However, sometimes impatience takes over and I will start learning a new piece before completing the old one, so this has the added effect of slowing me down even further. There are a few pieces I've taught myself that are incomplete because of this. But I've started to see that the practising is having the positive effect of making reading the music easier, and I' not having to stop and think "what is that note again...?"

[@ridazahra8582]

The first one is so true for me! For a long time I just stuck to the same old pieces because I was too lazy to learn new ones lol but now and over the past few years Ive been playing whatever songs inspire me (either by ear or youtube) and honestly it keeps me hooked on the piano. Whenever im learning a new piece I cant seem to stop because its so exciting!! And I love the challenge too! And I think it keeps me motivated to continue getting better at the piano so I would 100% recommend this tip!

[@bunnyhollowcrafts]

Pinning down the mistake. I’ve started doing that … awesome advice!

[@nicklass7075]

Ah ha! A good reason for all my scales practice popped up in your vid. The incorrect note stood out very clearly to me. Maybe if it was even more subtle I wouldn't have but it shows me at least some of the reason for the incessant focus on scales...

[@JOHNch4.v.v.7to10]

I'm on my third piano teacher in 4-1/2 years since wanting to learn the piano. Question : So why do I have to come to your youtube channel to learn things like this?? I'm 58 y.o. and feel so 'behind' from where I thought I'd be at this point. I don't blame the teachers 100% because i've slacked over the years, so I'm not in denial. It's just frustrating to see others (especially younger folks) who seem to make quicker, more meaningful progress than what I have. BTW, I thank God (and you) for your channel which brings me much insight and good instructions, and patience!!

[@silverlinings3946]

Your brain isn't as plastic as it was earlier in life, and your progress will come with higher time investment. It can't be helped.

[@zulfadhly7639]

This is spot on. I am an absolute beginner who just got a keyboard a month ago and I have learnt three pieces now (which I'm still not solidly good at any of em but I did get a grip on how to play em), but i'm at the brink of slowly giving up my piano learning bcoz i found that it takes so long to really master one piece, and i hate the thought that to learn another new piece will take me another long time of struggling.

[@noeprim2184]

I realized has a beginner that learning piano is a lot of dedicated work and a lot to learn to achieve playing correctly. Thank you for your honest tutorial & comments.

[@datomatachip3847]

I'm relatively new to learning piano so watching these vids helps a lot. Also, I'm not sure what I should prioritize for music theory. I go over 7th chords and major scales but I don't really know if its what I should be doing. Any insight on this from anybody would be awesome :)

[@Blake22022]

Hey, hopefully you've figured it out a little by now but the best way is to play pieces. Know what quarter notes, eight, 16th sound like, as well as recognizing chords. Keep theory in mind while practicing. Only way to "practice theory" effectively is to play music. Theory is boring by itself. Knowing scales is good but theory only gets you so far without real practice on an instrument. Theory is a tool, people used to and still do get good without it. It's hard to get a good understanding of theory if theory is the only thing you focus on, because theory is based upon music, not the other way around

[@marciahorton2203]

I especially connected with learning the piano language. I have been playing on a digital piano for about 8 months. I am a member of Pianote but I also subscribe to your channel as well. I have been following Pianote lesson plans so I am a ways from "reading" music yet. But I have been concentrating mainly on practicing the piano techniques, scales C, G, Am, Em, diatonic chords, chord inversions, intervals, arpeggios. I want to be able to play these smoothly and accurately because I figured then I would be able to pick up playing pieces easier.

I can totally relate to the playing the same thing over and over again for many years, and I even started getting bored with the piano because of that. But to keep the things interesting, I switched over to the pipe organ, and I'm taking lessons on that! It is a whole new animal, but super fun! That added dimension of the feet keeps a very interesting and challenging! And the legato... I love every bit of it!

[@kimberlynguyen9296]

Great techniques. Thank you.

[@paullau3835]

Thanks Jazer for such great advice - as usual. Guilty as charged on mistake 1. When I started playing the piano 3 years ago I made a wish list of about 20 beautiful songs some classical (eg. Chopin nocturne op9 no2) and some pop music (eg. bridge over troubled water). I am still stuck with about 7. I think I have chosen some which are too hard for me and at the moment I am crawling like a sloth in the middle part of Chopin’s Tristesse. I think I also need to build up my technical skills before I tackle any difficult songs.

[@yvonnevazsaxena6712]

Nice video. Good points that piano players should remember

[@Omega0401]

Great lesson Jazer, thank you. You mention learning 12 pieces in one year. That's practicing 1 piece per month. My problem with that is you get tired of playing that piece over and over for a whole hour or half hour of practice and my mind gets tired, bored or loses concentration. Then I practice 3 or 4 pieces in an hour and then I realize my ability to complete them slows down. Each of the two methods has its drawbacks. Any suggestions? I may have to practice 1 piece for a half hour in the morning and the same piece or maybe a different one a half hour in the evening so long as my mind does not get tired or bored. That will force me to be on a strict schedule every day along with all the other tasks to do that day. It just has to take time and hard work.

[@southpark5555]

It depends on person, aims, or just what a person is happy with or content with. When I learn and play the piano ----- I put no pressure on myself. I don't get analytical about my progress - as I just know that if we are self-aware and pay attention to detail (eg. our own detail) and keep gathering techniques from good piano teachers - such as from the internet (Jazer is included among them) - then we will certainly become more experienced as time goes on. I don't perform for anybody - so my enjoyment of playing the piano is just for that --- the enjoyment of it. Interestingly, I never get bored of playing the same thing ----- the same thing that I really enjoy and love that is. Even if I play a billion times ---- I still enjoy it. This just highlights differences between people. Different people, different circumstances, different expectations/goals etc. For your case, maybe try to not consider situations as drawbacks. Taking time and putting in some effort is definitely normal ----- even for prodigy level musicians.

[@Gretchaninov]

I've become much more disciplined over time. I think you have to be patient. I like jumping into challenging pieces perhaps once a month, putting everything into them, and then moving on. I've tried several piano concerti now. During the month, I also watch masterclasses or follow the sheet music while listening. There are many different skills which have to come together - memory, understanding the music, coordination, expression, speed, etc. And of course, I try to practise a lot. As long as I do a bit better each time, I think I'm progressing a lot!

[@SSpitz9907]

It's like your vids are speaking directly to me! I am a guilty glosser at the moment. I was bordering advanced at a young age. Stepped away for 15 years. Def was not at the same level coming back to it during lockdown. This is a sport where you CAN lose your swing, folks! I made a drastic error of taking on pieces I'm not ready for. Not just with comprehension. Literally, the muscle in my wrist/arm isn't built up enough YET to take on the speed of some of them. I wasted months focusing on where I wanted to be barely making progress in 1 piece. Staying in my lane to build on the foundation for exponential growth would've served a whole lot better. Recognizing your level (weaker areas) and pacing yourself are so important for avoiding the trap of becoming discouraged or worse... starting to worry if neurological issues are at work. My hands were separate beings I could not control! But then you get it, keep getting it, and eventually play right through almost forgetting it was a problem. You are a phenomenal teacher.

Splendid explanation Mr.J lee, with the help of hearing knowledge, I started piano learning for just three months and as per my teacher’s advice I just started playing grade 2 pieces . No difficulties in reading notes but problem in identifying the notes without seeing the keys. Please advise me how to train my fingers so that I can play without seeing the respective keys most of the time . I am just 62years . Regards 🌹

[@man0sticks]

I never play old pieces that I know well because there are no old pieces that I know well. The day I don’t play a piece is the day I begin to unlearn it. The longer I go without playing a piece, the closer I get to square one. So my repertoire consists entirely of the one or two pieces that I’m currently working on. And I learn at a snail’s pace, so that If I want to play a piece at Christmas, I start to learn it in the summer. I should mention that I’m quite old. My unsolicited advice-if you are young, learn as much music as you possibly can while your memory is still good. You won’t regret it. Don’t let youth be wasted on the young.

I'm using the Lesson book as the foundation since it refers to the corresponding pages in the other books (except the Performance).

[@christinacortez6130]

Its why my band instructor always had us play one measure at a time Then we would go from the beginning of the song and play all the way to that mesure in the music until we got that part of the song correct then we would learn a few more measures. We polished a few measures at a time until the end of the song. Then we would play the whole song through and polish it until it was perfect. Piano is like that for me I follow the advice of my band instructor taking each measure at a time until i polished that measure and i will move one to a new measure. Each time i would play the song my playing would improve. And a lot of the technicality that i have built is from my years in band and of course playing piano on and off from when i was 8 to when i was 15 just saying

Sounds familiar! My teacher gets tired of hearing the same song more than twice and gives me another. I started lessons when I retired early. I can’t seem to memorize any song. I get a few bars but basically sight read everything. She reminds me I’m older when I complain about it. No kidding. My 13 yr old can memorize anything and plays from memory all the time. It does seem easier to go back on previous songs but not from memory.

@@techguy9023 but if you're learning to sight read it will make it easier to go back and play somthing you have learned before with the music in front of you, I study the sheet music while working out what keys then memorise it and practice, but I know if I dont play it for some time I will forget and it will be a challenge to have to go back to the music and work out again which key to play for each note in the music

Currently i am learning my first song on piano (Yann Tiersen - Comptine d`un autre ete - l`apres-midi). After three weeks now, i am able to play the whole song. But i am constantly making errors on random points or parts (sometimes parts that i've played a hundred times right - suddenly an error). I am not able to play the whole song without an error. I too make errors when i play the song very slowy. It feels like i am constantly on autopilot, since i learned the last part of the song. How can i erase those random errors. I'm geting a bit frustrated :/ Great work and Thank you!
