I have been involved with music, my whole life! Since third grade, I played the suspended cymbal with the chorus and fell in love with drums, piano, composing, and teaching! I have two music degrees: BFA music, education, and MFA Percussion performance. However, my best teacher has been life and teaching for 30+ years as I've learned so many different methods at work for seven different people! Piano is a wonderful bridge that helps us connect on many learning levels. I don't offer gimmicks and will only teach from my heart and inspire others to enjoy the journey!

5 Must-Try PIANO Rhythm Patterns Exercises
Very helpful information! I've wondered this myself. Great explanation! Starting to make sense!!
@@bstanley5767 happy it's starting to make sense!
Great video and loved that you are yourself 😊 Thanks Jim 😊
@@torysanderson4436 well I have many jokers in my deck... Wish you well Tori! Say hi to the uk for me
Thanks for this lesson, Sir. 😊
@@RaviSreenivasanOrthopod hopefully I was clear enough :-) I didn't prepare just spoke from my brain :-)
Thanks!
@@IgorKryltsov hopefully it was clear reach out if you have any other questions :-)
Ok that helped a lot! Thanks for helping explain this. Great question btw!!
@@markstanley9370 wonderful I'm glad it was helpful for you
Hey Jim! I thought you did a really nice job explaining. No fancy stuff just down to earth! Great job 👏
@@carylchapman9952 thanks for taking the time to listen and providing feedback :-)
Thanks. Finally I found something easy for absolute beginners to practice chords. Is there a way to swap hands here and play chords with the left hand?
@@IgorKryltsov yes you can do that swapping hands is quite normal, I'm wondering, are you thinking about chords in the left-hand and then Melody in the right hand?
@@grassrootspiano Exactly! Specifically what fingers are recommended to play left-hand chords :)
I spent some time on it it turns out that the 1st chord in this exercise is 1st inversion(!) of G-Maj and it is 1-2-5 (right) and 5-3-1(left). The second one is the 2nd inversion (!) of E-Min and is 1-3-5 (right) and 5-3-1(left). The third one is B-Min and it is 1-2-4 (right) and 5-3-1(left). While people can play chords using different fingers there are: a) highly recommended ways, b) allowed and c) not recommended ways to do so. In this case, it seems all the chords when played with the left hand are recommended to be played 5-3-1
Great video so well explained, thank you!!! Nice to see you Jim, happy Friday 😊
Matron Nee, Nee, I believe you're one of my original members! Thank you for rooting me on through this journey. It's not always easy ;-)
How would you explain to a beginner the difference between scales and chord progression? From a newby perspective - chords are keys played together, and scales - keys played sequentially, yet here we play keys sequentially but call it chords progression :) Thanks for the answer and for the teaching lessons you make available here!
@@IgorKryltsov this chord progression was played broken (notes separate)
@@grassrootspiano Thanks, so technically chord progression broken is not a chord progression and has no own term/name. It is just your video description confused me 'Practice chord progressions' - I watched the video and said - this is not a chord progression as to how I understand it :). I am practising scales and finger dexterity exercises and haven't touched chords yet.
@@IgorKryltsov it's OK, interesting thoughts we're going from one chord to another hence the name progression What would you call the title?
@@IgorKryltsov I remember now I didn't have much room on the thumbnail call and see if I can switch it to this broken chord pattern
@@grassrootspiano I read a bit more on chord progressions and I am talking here as a beginner :) It turns out you can play a chord harmonic (all keys together) or ascending/descending - keys in sequence. In this case for example playing V-I can be playing G-B-D together and after C-E-G together - chord progression. But if you play sequentially G-B-D-C-E-G it will also be called a chord progression played ASC. Right? What I do not understand is why playing sequentially G-B-D-C-E-G is called a chord progression but playing for example sequentially C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C is called a scale :)
Excellent but remains the application in a song.The time signature is obvious.❤❤❤
Hi there no problem :-) about seven seconds in the video, I mentioned at 6/8 time. I also have the chords written above with the time signature. I hope that helps.. This is a general application, but C Major D minor and G major chords, are used and billions of songs! This is just lesson one, so I'll revisit your thoughts and lesson two. Happy playing. BTW, what kind of music do you like?
Oh thank you!!!! Was just talking about the 6/8 timing today. Very helpful and will be sure to practice. 😊🎶💯🎹🎵
@@carylchapman9952 thank you so much, Caryl ! I'm going to add in additional warm-ups with this format. Trying to keep things easier for me as Bob is no longer editing ;-)
I hope everyone is well! Hey you know what! If you like this mini lesson, I have some ideas so I hit that like button so I'll continue to create ;-) thank you

I really like it ,But Takes a lot to get coordinated ,But coming along , Thank You!

The Apregio pattern is the hardest,Making progress though ,Enjoy pract them all
I’m getting Pretty Alright with this.What Video should I do Nexr? BTW I joined your Drum Channel!
@@retrobilly1719 awesome that channel is just starting off, but I'm planning to do some drum set playing with piano, playing and having fun! I think the rhythm playlist should be the best option. But let me check :-)
have you tried these lessons? ruclips.net/video/cMdygsQI30Q/видео.html
Nice video, by the way If you are a complete begginer i made a video for you about reading notes
@@MusicByNancy23 do you think the video that I created is for beginners?
Would you consider this intermediate?
Yes, the rhythm alone is tricky
Thank you Jim❤. Really appreciate you sharing your expertise. I always learn something new .
How’s your piano playing going these days?
@@grassrootspiano Not practicing as much as I should, I’m taking care of my dad (has terminal cancer). I definitely miss it and still enjoy watching and learning from your videos . Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with all of us to learn and enjoy ❤️
@@PianoMatronNeeNee oh man, I’m sorry that you’re going through that tough time with your dad. I’m sure he’s so appreciative. What you’re doing for him. Maybe you could play him some piano music! Best wishes thinking of you and your family.
Thanks so much for the video Jim! Things looked and sounded just great. Thank you for putting awesome videos together for us to learn. Appreciate all your time and effort and your simple explanations 😉
Thank you for your feedback, Caryl! If I can swing it next week, I have a surprise as Tori gave me an idea :-)
Thank you Jim. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Love your teaching style. Thank you so much ❤
Good to hear from you! Thank you for the kindwords comments like this help me to continue the journey of creating and teaching :-)
Thanks for the episode. The overhead piano view audio is inconveniently out of sync. Same happens in a random much older episode checked too.
Thanks for saying hello I did not notice the out of sync. Did you have a certain part in mind? I’m using a new video editor and hopefully the rendering is not messing things up.
@@grassrootspianoAll of the overhead video and its midi display is slightly out of sync with the audio. I am sure you will see it if you watch on YT. The commentary video is fine.
@@pc2nite thank you, that stinks. Sorry about that.
What a great video, I might implement this in some composing and everyday playing!
Thank you for saying hello! I love composing to, but haven’t had a chance these days. Do you have a preference with composing? Meaning different styles, composing for piano, etc.
@@grassrootspiano I usually compose for a variety of styles, mainly focused on piano and digital composition.
Thank you for this excellent video. It's late at night in the UK and I am watching this in bed, but definitely going to be playing with these rhythms tomorrow. Particularly loved how you were talking about emulating other instruments with the rhythm and patterns. I always find emulating the strums of a guitar on pieces hard, but oftentimes the pieces I play to accompany myself are normally guitar-based. Could you perhaps please expand on ways to do this in a future video? Thank you in anticipation! 😅😊
Thank you Tori so much. What a wonderful idea. I will definitely definitely think about your suggestions. Sleep well! :-)

The R.H and L.H are not changing appropriately with what youre playing. 😢
Do you have an idea in the video where this is happening? I did have a problem with my camera.
@@grassrootspiano somewhere in the 2nd time through your hands were changing but not the R.H and L.H on the screen.
@@michellemonet4358 ok got it, I did this video quickly as I’ve been terribly busy. Good news I’m doing the lesson next week but adding to it so I can clear that up. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Thank you for letting me know!🐾🐾
Thank you ❤
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m feeling stuck with the exercises I’m playing and found your video. It is very fun and relaxing. Thank you
That’s great to hear! What kind of music do you like playing?
❤
I can’t play with the left hand if my right hand is moving. But I’m getting better at Clair de lune. But I know the right hand so well, I forget the left hand. I have trouble reading both lines. But I marked up the sheet because base clef still confuses me, and copied them. Then I cut them into bars or two and shuffled them. So now I have to read the top and play the bottom.
Sounds like you have a plan! Slow and steady. Sometimes I start off practicing focusing on the weakest part and stay consistent as that might help
For this video lesson, you could just focus on one hand at a time super slow and then try both hands super slow. One phrase at a time. Let me know how it goes. :-)
For anyone that watches, most of the tutorial (or all of it 🙂 definitely take advantage of the surprise if it works for you! Thank you everyone for your support
I definitely start to panic when I'm playing really well for my teacher because I know I could mess it up but you've got good advice! Love this tune even though I wasn't familiar with it previously.
Yes, we all go through a right of passage and then at some point in our life we just smile when there’s a mistake breathe deep and continue! it takes the edge off (to just accept a mistake as it’s an ordinary occurrence)
Wonderful video Jim! Great tutorial, well- explained. Those who haven't or are wondering if Jim's courses are worth it... They absolutely are! Get yourself on one - you won't regret it! Have to agree with your shout-out to Francesca at Bitesize piano - another great teacher! You cannot replace that human element of instruction to get the tips and nuances to develop your playing. I feel inspired to have a play with this song now and turn it into an accompaniment version to sing along to 🥰
Thank you for your kind words, Tori! And thank you for your support :-)
Love what I'm hearing but i am poor with my left hand
Yes, our weaker hand always takes a bit more TLC and practice. What kind of music do you enjoy?
That was Fun, I play and accompany Myself on quite a Few old Rock N Roll Songs
I’m thinking of focusing on rock ‘n’ roll tunes on this channel
@@grassrootspiano 👍
Thank You..🙏
Thanks 🙏 I am surprised 🎊 ❤
