Why You Never Learned to Play Piano | Jonas Gössling & Costantino Carrara | TEDxFHKufstein

[@YuanJane]

I was one of those kids who gave up within weeks but I have always listened to classical music and loved singing. Just recently I picked up piano and learn with KZbin, I still can hardly read scores but with video it does not matter anymore. Playing piano makes me so happy.

[@jachu1433]

I agree with what has been sAid - strict teachers, boring beginner songs, intimidating and boring music theories, and inaccessibility to music instruments; and the frustration of learning over KZbin

[@Toogoodtobetrue458]

I’m a lifetime flowkey student! It made playing music accessible to me. I don’t think I’ll be getting a teacher so this is THE BEST app for me.

[@trafficjon400]

Many Piano Teachers are rediculously ripping The vulnerable off.

[@bigdaddy910]

I really agree with him about the traditional music education... I learned the clarinet with the traditional method for about 5 years and i sucked soooo bad. Now (3 years later) i am learning 3 instruments at the same time and I am having a blast

[@northernhemisphere4906]

playing tenor sax?

[@zakb4198]

That dude is not 21

[@kdm5706]

😂😂😂 I was thinking the same!

[@timg544]

Came here thinking they would give a high level overview of improvising/ adding in my own melody to a song I like instead of just reading sheet music (just like Constantino does in all his songs). Instead got a 17 minute ad, nice!

[@leif1075]

Isn't this disappointing then?

[@YuutoRobert]

"what's stopping you?" Me: i don't even have a piano

[@canadiansoul9401]

so go buy a piano and starts now ;) you gonna love to play piano

[@ΟΟύτις]

You can buy one electronic piano with 50€

[@demetriomontoya320]

There are free pianos on fb all the damned time dude.

[@purplecamaleon]

I love Flowkey, it is great to speed up pieces/song learning. The big issue with it is that at some point you want to practice directly from the scores without an ipad and you can’t, as the scores cannot be downloaded or printed. So you either memorise whole songs or become iPad dependant which is not great. I guess it is possible to transcribe the scores into paper, but that would take a long time. I have contacted them and they told me they have considered the idea, and they might implement it in the future, but so far, and some years have already passed since then, they haven’t acted on it. If I ever find a similar app with the score download/printing facility, I’ll probably move into it.

[@jodoinscott]

Very cool! With this kind of wait-for-the-note playback (I've seen it in Synthesia and some light-up Casio keyboards), I think it doesn't encourage proper rhythm, but I suppose if the notes are correct, then the next level would be to play it with a metronome and keep up.

[@thorshammer5166]

Great video, thanks for such a great piano learning tool. Keep up the great work and adding content to the Flowkey application.

[@lb6034]

From experience I know that this is a great app! Thanks for your work in developing it!

[@rexmilson]

it is Flowkey... other option is Simply Piano

[@sergioescalona62]

Lovely Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Riddleagan Possessing Piano Remedy (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off product for learning how to play the piano easily minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my best friend Jordan got astronomical results with it.

[@trafficjon400]

This is literally an ad. You might learn songs this way, but you won’t learn music.

[@dalkeiththomas9352]

Yeah i wanna play by ear

[@YareRD77]

totally agree, students learn from human interaction...

[@demetriomontoya320]

Everyone learns in their own way. Blanket statements about how other's experiences are, is just shallow thinking and only shows how little you have thought on the subject.

What is the piano model Constantino is using in this video? It sounds super neat and clean.

What is the name of the song you are playing. It ripped a hole in my soul, I love it. It sounds like you are using all three pedals on this beautiful song. Totally hooked

[@clivebudden2112]

OK, I am 57 yrs old and saving up for my 1st digital piano. I cannot afford lessons. My concers, up to now, have been: will I be able to do it, will I be disciplined enough for practice and would the inevitably slow progress, bore me into quitting? Those concerns have just melted away. Thank you.

[@blockminingsolutions]

You can buy a used piano or synth and just start practicing with tutorials on KZbin. You can get a great synth for as little as $50 and can be rewarding once you start learning, which will motivate you to keep learning.

[@marcusosadiaye5705]

Wow! This is great. How do I start right away? Do I need only digital piano to be able to follow up, Ori can use any good piano?

[@kaciewilcox6482]

I've seen a lot of tech like this lately....I wonder if it actually works?? And what about technique? It's not easy to learn technique by doing a tutorial like that. It's very easy to learn things wrong and develop bad habits that are hard to break. These bad habits can be really bad for your hands and wrists, resulting in injury, arthritis, carpal tunnel, etc. What are the solutions to these problems when learning by tech like this? I'm glad there's technology out there like this for people to learn from. Honestly, piano is such a great instrument to learn! I'm just a little concerned about the possibility of developing bad habits and not learning everything that should be learned when learning an instrument.

[@cambioloco]

Technology is a useful tool. But for me, it doesn't replace what a piano teacher can give you.

[@flowkey_DE]

We totally agree with that. Nothing can replace a great teacher - but technology can definitely be good support for students and teachers. :)

[@mangkey1280]

After trying for ages to learn piano I discovered Turbo Piano Secret and it seems to be the best home study system (check it out on google)

[@zoe.h.nelson04]

I agree about the whole music lesson things - I really didn't like them. Fortunately I had enough patience to stay in them long enough to learn how read music, because once I could do that, I could teach myself any sheet music, given enough time. This concept is interesting and great if you aren't interested in learning to read sheet music, but for now, sheets are for me.

[@MartinRagula]

ths app learn you play prepared songs. But it cant learn you music - after using this app, you are not able to improvise, to express emotions, to play technicaly easy. Technique is important to overcome limitations. Expresivnes is important to make music talk to heart. And this app learn you to "play" right pitch at right time. But this cant be called music.

[@jasminenijjar3772]

I’ve wanted to play for soooo long. Finally I bought a keyboard and using an app I bought to play. The app is teaching me how to play, in terms of technique. Notes. It’s an amazing intros for someone who hasn’t play. But you’re absolutely right it’s not teaching, well, the heart of music. So I’m learning how to play by ear and add emotions. It’s a journey for sure. The app I use is definitely my foundation, and I hope to wean myself off and play from my heart as I progress :)

[@soneck7363]

How do you learn to improvise and play using sheer technique because I really just like to know

[@sleepyboi1964]

Son Eck Western Music Theory, once you can grasp it, you can start improvising and composing pretty easily.

[@soneck7363]

@SleepyBoi Hopefully I can find a way to learn this

[@soneck7363]

Thanks though.

[@DesertRat332]

All features that I like about Garage Band piano lessons on my Mac. I can slow it down, loop the section I want to practice more, and if I play the wrong notes they are yellow or red, but it allows me to continue playing through my mistakes. I think that is better than just stopping. I just wish it had MORE lessons!

[@ビビくん-v1w]

So.. what's the app name?

[@Kfkgjdkdkgk]

Flowkey. I was wondering the same thing😂

[@BLACKopsDTB]

Damn and here I was trying to play winter wind for months this would of helped a lot

[@johnletitia]

So...How can I find out how to access the polyphonic real time note recognition?

[@margodewinne3727]

To bardzo proste. Musisz zacząć od prostych utworów. Najpierw naucz się prawej ręki a potem lewej osobno. Graj wolno i dasz radę. Szybkość przyjdzie z codziennymi ćwiczeniami. Graj codziennie chociaż 1 godzinę. Pozdrawiam.

[@mayoca2024]

I agree about the boring songs, but come on... reading music os a must

[@jolteon43]

There's still a problem with the app: it simply conditions the expressiveness of the player. It gets too mechanic and doesn't allow a player to add notes to the song even if they are part of the scale.

[@Briganteman]

I would say that if your at the stage where you want to add more notes then its done its job.

[@Luis-0101]

Very cool, thank you!

[@forheavenssakeidonthavewif2657]

Inspiring.,.. but it did come across as a sales pitch from 'Dragon's Den'! I don't know if this reference is known outside UK. Entrepreneurs pitch to super successful Business people, the Dragon's, a share of their fledgling company or idea in exchange for financial help, mentoring and contacts the Dragon's have. Most are eaten an spat out, a few get an offer more lucrative for the offering Dragon. Terrific talk. I want to play and sing both Freddie Mercury songs, and classical music. Always have. What's stopping me is past frustration at teaching myself unsuccessfully for a year in college at weekends when I'd sneek into piano'd music practice rooms with dull beginners books & limited ability to read music + horror at how hard it was to make different movements with each hand, & feet! Now I think I'm too old to learn and one hand is deformed by arthritis. I still want to do it though. It's a shame they didn't put a link to their website at the end. They must've known realistically the talk was a sales pitch! So a link would've helped.

The problem is … you can’t play a thing without the app. There’s no path away from the app.

[@klausfriedrich912]

Looks like flowkey. I tried it, and to be honest, it was not a good experience. Didn't work propperly until I attached my Keyboard via usb to the pc. Additionally you get absolutely no feedback regarding dynamics. My playing sounded (still does, I am a beginner) horribly but I pressed the right notes, so the software proceeded. And 20 € a month is far away from cheap...

Warum hält er seine Präsentation an einer deutschsprachigen Universität auf Englisch? -.- Das Publikum war wahrscheinlich fast ausschließlich deutschsprachig. Sein Auftritt wäre zweifelsohne viel besser geworden, hätte er nicht beschlossen, sich in einer Fremdsprache auszudrücken. Achja stimmt, Wichtigtuerei und Elitarismus sind nur halb so effektiv auf Deutsch...
