Did you study Beatle song when you were at the university or did you do that one your own once you were a trained professional? I am sorry more people of not supported your video. Of the 51 views, only four bothered to give you a thumbs up. I do not understand that behavior especially since you did a nice job breaking down Yesterday.

🔥

YES!

That's a really good point about difficulty of rewinding so you can practice the same part multiple times. I remember one of the piano youtubers was selling a product that was specifically for rewinding youtube videos, like you push a button with your foot or something and it rewinds 10 seconds, and hitting another button could set up a loop. We do all these complicated things just to avoid reading sheet music. It's kinda funny how doing it the old way is probably the most effective. On the other hand, looping a video and trying to exactly replicate that sound is a practice that has a value of its own.

Wonderful teaching.

Excellent and concise explanation. Of course, students could also practice the same exercise starting with the other two dispositions of the tonic chord, with the third on top or with the fifth on top, thus playing through the circle of fifths three times all in all.

I completely disagree. Ryo Fukui started playing the piano at 22, and he still managed to become a professional jazz pianist in a relatively short period of time, recording his first album 6 years after he had started teaching himself the instrument. It's incredibly rare for things like that to happen, but it's not impossible. In fact, there isn't a single study that proves that there is a critical time period for learning how to play an instrument, so this just seems like a truism that gets repeated without a second thought, even by professional musicians, and which seems belieable due to how rare it is for adults to become professional musicians. It probably mostly comes down to the hours of practice required to achieve a professional level; Children will always have a massive advantaged when it comes to this, since they won't have any duties, a job, or a family to support, so they can just sink in massive amounts of hours into their instrument, something which that adults cannot do most of the time. But if someone is crazy talented, motivated and has the time and money to pull it off, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

I got it! It is not for the student!

Beautifully explained.

I appreciate the constructive criticism, and I think Vivek would, too. After all, he was a good sport for putting up that video even though he must have known that he flubbed it quite badly in places. It's a shame that the mean-spirited click-baiting cover graphic ("I'm amazing!" "God help us.") seems to predispose a lot of viewers against the video, as it did me (my first reaction was not to click on the link on principle). Vivek's problem with finger independence was one of the first things I noticed, too, but as a not very good pianist (probably comparable to Vivek) I'm curious how big of a problem it is. My fingers are quite calm when it's not their turn to play, but I've seen much better piano pianists with undue tension in their fingers, like Ben Laude's left pinky here. ruclips.net/video/RXCm6033JvM/видео.html I would happily trade my less awkward-looking pinky to sound as good as he does.

1:48 Any tips on how to practice and play these turns at the correct tempo, with weak and disobedient fourth and fifth fingers? 🥲

What sets this tutorial apart is the section on musicality, I really appreciated the guidance on playing with rubato, the emphasis on beats 1 and 3, and ensuring the right hand is louder than the left as well as the exhortation to play with correct pedaling ❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent daily exercice more than cadence , playing scale first, chords ( including 7th.) and initiation to circle of fifths. At 2:50 -51 shouldn’t it be C first inversion instead of root position? Good work combination Thankfully NBG

Has a pianist i perfectly agree with you

09:08 👍

Im 50 and in between beginner and the next level. What id love to do is sit at any street piano and impress people by playing music I love

“We’re just gonna get on board, hold hands and sing Kumbaya? Sit down and buckle up!”

A peça de bach é linda e fácil o que dificulta são os inúmeros acordes diferentes essa é a maior dificuldade

Ty for the help ur so good and I hope i get as better as u

I've been using Synthesia for 1 year, and for serious musicians, it's just not worth it. But, as many say, for just playing pieces you like, it is really good. With years of experience in rhythm games, Synthesia was very intuitive for me. My goal was to sight-read pieces with Synthesia, which I achieved after months of daily practice. My muscle memory developed to react quickly to sight-read any note. I also turned on the note names (A-G) on both the falling notes and the piano keys, which improved my reading and reaction time further. Additionally, I used a custom background with lines to help recognize the portions of the piano on the screen faster. All these factors combined helped me develop a fast muscle memory to sight-read most basic to medium and some advanced pieces. It even helped me learn parts of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto Nos. 2 and 3, Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Liszt, Liebestraum by Liszt, Clair de Lune by Debussy, etc. However, Synthesia has clear limitations. First, you need to learn hand and finger techniques from videos to understand the fundamentals. Once you have a strong base, you can guess most finger positions based on intuition and comfort, practicing slowly if there are complex passages. Rhythm and dynamics are aspects you can only grasp by listening to other interpretations of the piece. With experience, you learn to improve the sound every day, reinforcing it with music theory. In the end, Synthesia worked really well for me because it motivated me, was intuitive, very fun, and felt like a game, so I could use it every day. I have around 1000 hours with Synthesia, so I know what I'm talking about. After some time, you reach a level of sight-reading where you can play any piece on the first try, as long as it is 1 or 2 levels below the hardest piece you can play. For example, I retried Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 once a day about 25 times over 5 months. Even though there are many more songs or pieces in sheet music, MuseScore has enough MIDI files for at least 99% of the pieces I want to play. I have 2000 pieces in MIDI files in my Synthesia. It was a good starting point, and I'm now considering learning to read sheet music and improvise. Synthesia got me going, helped me develop a good connection with the piano, and gave me a lot of musical knowledge and creativity.

Imagine that the only way for some people to play emotionally is by reading notation instead of using your own ear and feelings for intepreting how it should sound.

i cant read sheet so synthesia way always my go to can you do a video that goes through the sheet basics and maybe do a tutorial on some music chopin ballade 1 would be cool, since im learning that right now

It's those fuck-me-pumps that are throwing her off. Those ridiculous heels force her bumper to be six inches farther away than it should be, causing the awkward angle between legs and torso.

you forget the fact that people have different needs. people with cognitive disabilities tend to learn faster using visual cues. reading sheet music is simply not an option for them.

"its like listening to an audiobook on algebra". you are a true artist lol, this is perfect

I know these falling bars only from some YT pianists and they look funny, but I would have never imagined that there are people out there that would learn pieces like this and think this is superior to normal notation? This is mindboggingly stupid to think that slowly falling bars a better than a piece of paper (or maybe a tablet nowadays) where you can jump immediately where ever you want.

Those videos are cool visualizations that definitely attract attention. But since they are basically Tetris with music, I don't understand how they are supposed to be "tutorials" for actually playing the piano 😅

Some comments from a heavy Synthesia user. First, I agree with you that Synthesia is not a very good use of time for someone who wants to seriously learn piano. I also agree that many of the available Synthesia learning materials are bad and will teach bad habits. That said, Synthesia can be a lot of fun, and an engaging game in a way that normal piano practice generally isn't, particularly for beginners. For people who are not serious about piano, and just want to learn to have fun playing their favourite pieces, I think it has its place. The main area that I think Synthesia might be useful for someone seriously learning piano is in practising scales and arpeggios. The Synthesia falling notes notation, combined with finger hints, works really well for seeing where to put your fingers for playing scales. Many of the problems with Synthesia highlighted in the video don't really apply to scales. Further, playing scales in Synthesia, trying to beat your high score and play them as fast and smoothly and accurately as possible, makes what is otherwise one of the more boring parts of piano practice into an engaging, fun and effective practice routine. So I would encourage people not to reject Synthesia entirely - it may have its place along other learning methods.

I've never actually used Synthesia so I'm not here to argue for or against it. What I will say is that our arcane, centuries old system of reading music as dots on a staff or ledger line is extrordinarily complex. I'm glad you found it easy. Or perhaps you've forgotten your years of struggle as a child, trying to make sense of key signatures, accidentals, sharps, flats, double-sharps, and double-flats, trying to figure out which accidental went with which note in a dense cluster. And the rule that through the length of possibly long measures, each accidental stays in effect till the measure ends. I still struggle with it and I've been playing since I was 8. I'm now 67. I don't have dyslexia yet I still struggle. Pity the poor sap who does. I LOVE the idea of a piano TAB. On guitar, for instance, I LOVE that I can play from TAB. Far more intuitive, and no confusion as to which note goes on which string.I hear your complaints of Synesthesia but I don't know of a single one that couldn't be addressed. If you were consulting with the company, I bet they could fix all those things. A prospective piano student faces two huge hurdles. The first is our music notation system. The other is how to play the actual instrument. Why not give that student a break by at least making the first part easier?

Im learning to read, if i come across a rhythm i cant count i throw it on my daw and might use synthesia to practice it if im struggling.

It's quite a lot of fun playing a bass drum in time to your hand movements.

I don't get synthesia. It is so frustrating to learn from, especially those youtube videos. You need to constantly adjust playback speed and rewind the video. You basically can't tell what is coming up, so you end up constantly pressing play and pause on repeat. With sheet music even displayed on video, you can pause the video and work on the phrase on your own pace. Good luck doing that with synthesia, where you see just a couple of notes at one time, and it is really hard to tell from those incoming notes, where they will land. Okay rant over, I will now watch the video :D

Have to agree. As a guitarist who can't read sheet music to save my life I think quick and dirty synthesia notation has given me quite a few bad habits when I first tried learning the piano. Would have been better off just learning to read sheets in the first place! (not that I can even do it now haha)

I’m 56. So far I have been learning piano for 14 lessons. I enjoy playing it very much.

I agree 1000%! Reading music is so much easier than trying to figure out Synthesia "notation." 🙈

Thank you so much.

🤡🤡🤡

He’s doing it flat because if it’s flat, it’s more easier to play

Хочу познакомиться с твоим Отцом. Артëм

Holy shit they're huge!

wow

Very helpful, thank you!

Estou aprendendo, muito linda essa partitura

This is why I get confused playing it sometimes. Lol

Excellent. The dark side of the force is at the root of the evil empire. It sounds as bombastic and pretentious as any real empire is.

Wow, it's almost like some of the notes in one scale can also be found in other scales. I wonder if any other tunes can also be played on just the 12 notes on this "piano keyboard"? That would be amazing.

Chromatic mediants as well

Thanks!

So clear.

Wow incredible
