Learn Simple Beautiful Piano
Добавлен 31 дек 2022
I learned Piano as a middle-aged adult and I discovered two things: 1. Piano could be learned and played simply, and beautifully - without years or decades of tedious training. And 2. Progress can be made much faster, and much easier than you think - if you focus on the right things (think "Re-Usable" Piano). This channel is for me to share what I've learned as a complete beginner, until now. With a little effort, YOU CAN learn Piano, AND have it as a lifelong enjoyment - it's never too late!

The key of C major (all white notes) is actually not that easy of a key to play. It's better to learn key signatures with some black notes! Like C# major. Here's why.

Use the 'Jurassic Park' method to learn songs fast (approximate, fill in gaps)
Просмотров 298Год назад
In Jurassic park the scientists spliced frog DNA into dinosaur DNA to 'fill in the gaps' and make a dinosaur 'close enough' to the original. You can do this with your songs :) Using Improvisation and approximation, you can take general ideas to learn and play songs very fast. This tutorial is based on Ludovico Einaudi's 'Earth Prelude' My apologies for the low mic audio, was having issues.

Top Tips To Read Sheet Music Fast

My painfully slow sheet reading early on was a hindrance to my piano progress - Here's the couple of things that I've found helped me most to speed things up. Reference: Sample Free Sheet Reading Game: "Note Trainer Lite" apps.apple.com/us/app/note-trainer-lite/id731587156 (Note: almost all the games function the same way and will accomplish the same, but this one is the free one I like the best)

I tried and failed to learn Canon in D, and then the way opened up when I finally learned a few things based around the plain and simple idea of chords. Now this is generally how I start to learn every song, and it has dramatically sped up how quickly I can learn songs. I hope it can be helpful for you too. #pianotutorial #chords #beginnerpiano #canonind

A Beautiful, Simple Beginner Left Hand Piano Pattern And How To Apply It
Yeah….this video made my day. Thank you so much ☺️
“Teach us”
Very helpful tips❤ thank you
Omg thank you sooo much you explained this so well . I was in the same boat as you . Jazz was so hard . I get it now yeahhh!!!!🎉😊
This seems really great but man I cannot hear it.
@@Esquivelhead yeah it was recorded low and reduced further because of noise filtering. Sorry for that! I worked to try to improve on that, hopefully the newer videos don’t have issues. Best to you
Holy mackerel, that was great. Thanks so much.
Would it be possible to add timestamps to this video? Would really help us revisit and quickly skip to a tip number 6 for example :)
Done - thanks for the suggestion!
@@learnsimplebeautifulpiano Thank you so much! That was quick!
Excellent!!!!! I Played along with the video…I’ll check out more of you vids, I was practicing scales forever and it got a bit boring
Thank you so much for coming up with a part 2! Both these videos are such a great entry into Jazz. It's a struggle to find good instructors online for Jazz and I absolutely love these. Really hoping you release more of these soon! :)
Thanks for keeping this series going. So helpful :)
I am improvising like this very often, I did it 3 hours in a row in a restaurant, and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you!
@@SmartFacts-YTube very cool!
blessed to find this page!!!!!
@@logo0507 thank you! :) I’m blessed to have you join and watch!
Great teacher as well!
could i use the same chord progression on a c blues scale ? Like would it sound the same ?
@@logo0507 hi! For jazz 251 is so common, but for blues it’s usually a bit different, like 145. However I think you can still use it and easily make it sound “bluesy” just by improvising with your right hand over a blues scale - you can look up C minor blues scale, or even C major blues scale (for different sounds - instead of just playing all the white notes). I’m not a blues expert but I personally think it sounds bluesy, just doing that! You can also search for “blues chord progressions” to get some to try out. Maybe some other folks can reply to your comment here with some better info, but that’s how I’d answer it at a beginner level. Thanks for watching!
@@learnsimplebeautifulpiano Thank You this is so helpful !!
Words cant describe how much i like the key of C
This is great. I have adopted it as a regular practice "exercise," which sounds nice and not like a drill. May be helpful to include an image of the cycle of 4ths/5ths so when envisioning 7-3-6-2-5-1 you can simply follow circle which is a great way to visualize the process 🙂
Thanks
This is so good! Can't wait for part 3. I love the structure and the way you teach. Thanks a lot. Immediately subbed
Thank you. A lot in that lesson, very good.🙏
I love this so much
Thank you
a
This super easy
hehehehehehe so simple
I love this tutorial again
This is (probably) the best introduction. A few hours to get the left hand secure, and then you can play forever, while trying out more and more ideas (and keys).
I wish I could like this twice. Great job
Thank you! :)
😅😅bebop jazz piano please
😅😅😅 great teacher always
The stride is throwing me a curved ball😢
Yeah it's hard to get used to at first, but if you stick with it over a period of time (weeks and months) - it becomes so second nature you can do it very quickly without really thinking. and 'striding' is a tool you can use in improv for so many songs and styles, so it's definitely worth sticking with! Also a couple tips: practice left hand only for a bit, you could just practice the stride across one octave (eg jump from C to C on your pinky) to a metronome (start very slow - like stride every few beats). then slowly add in the right hand (eg just hit one or two notes along with your left hand jump, and then slowly get more involved on your right hand as you feel comfortable). You'll get it! I'm not naturally musically talented at all by default, but I've learned though that you stick with something long enough - it'll come and it'll become an 'unconscious' skill if you do it consistently over a long period. You can do it!
I love that lesson, I’m a beginner. Your slow relaxing teaching is wonderful! I’m going straight to my keyboard. You’ve made my day, thank you so much.😊
That's so kind, thank you! I'm so glad you can have fun with it!
Hello, what software/app you using to display the key? Thank you
Hi, it’s called chordie app
And if you had a dog, you would call him Pascal? If you worked in a zoo, would the Python be your fav? Do you like metal fences because they Rust? I'd love to keep this up, but I think you get the Basic idea and I have to Go. LOL I think your channel is great. It should have 500K+ subscribers!
lol you’re hilarious! Thanks for your encouragement!
Awesome! Thank you!!
Thank you for getting me through the door and start playing something I like fast!
Thanks very much. That's a real eye opener of a video you did there.
Though this has 10 months since released. I could not find this excellent video in a ordinary search, I found others but not this even searching using the proper words. It is Amazing video, Exactly what I was looking for, in my beginner level. This was the most useful video I have seem about this theme. I can not say Thank you enough.
That’s really great to hear, thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful for you. Best to you.
This did it for me. Now I can piano forever. After what feels like endless videos and instructions I can finallybjust sit down and play forever. Thank you so much!
Wow!! I’m so glad to hear that :) thank you for sharing! And I’ve noticed the longer I do it, the “smoother” and more natural the playing can get/sound. Keep pressing on, Best to you.
The thing is now you can start getting into the more complicated stuff that threw you at first. I think it's all so daunting UNTIL you get a foothold and a foundation and then suddenly you have a "safety net" so to speak you can revert to when your experimentation doesnt immediately sound right
@@ethanpunto9222 great point
Really good ideas, I like it! 🎶👌🏼
Thanks
Great video/explanation! Curious, have you ever just played what is described in this lesson in an actual “restaurant” lounge? I ask because that is my end goal and it appears if you can master this lesson with some solid improve on top you could pull it off without years of jazz lessons. Thanks. Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks! Good question - I’ve never played in a restaurant, just hanging at home with friends - so it’s very easy to use this and as you said, improv to some light background music for friends who are over. I have learned that even simple music is nice to listen to if you can “feel” it as you’re playing, and get into the mood. It changes the sound and really comes out in your playing. And also focusing on a steady left hand rhythm will make the right hand improv just follow and fall into place nicely.
Thanks for the quick reply. Makes sense. I’m itching to just sit down and play this in public as I believe it sounds good enough to me to “fool” some ears. I’ve played a few times in public places, just messing around with various parts of popular songs or boogie woogie stuff and it was such a thrill.
Very nice lesson , easy to understand thank you so much. 🎹🎹🎹
Thank you for sharing, best regards from Argentina
❤
This lesson was awesome. I just got done trying this technique out and when I came downstairs to ask my wife how it sounded she replied, “oh that was you playing”? She said the piano is her favorite instrument I have tried. Great easy lesson that you can do a lot with. Thanks a million.
Such a cool story! I’m so glad to hear that, thanks for sharing. Hope you can continue to enjoy this!
Thanks. Awesome lesson.
❤❤❤❤love it
Wow that was really helpful. I used to try find out the notes then from there I will know the key signature but now you are making it more easier to me. Thanks again ❤❤❤
Wonderful, I’m so glad it helped you! Yes I was the same way - I could nail down a FEW of the notes but then would struggle to find the exact key, because there are still lots of possibilities. Finding the root note solves all that! Best to you.
Thank You Maestro.👏🏻👏🏻
Just wonderful. Thank you!
I have always wanted to be able to play this way. Gosh, so simple yet no one has revealed this to us. TQ so much.
What is the name of the software you use in the video - showing keyboard and treble/bass clef?
Hi - it’s called the chordie app. Pretty useful
what is this software called, that s allowing you to generate sheet music of what’s played?
Hi, the software is called ‘Chordie’, you can hook up your digital piano to a midi output into your computer and chordie shows the keys as you press them!
Very nice, I like it! 👌🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
