When I was a beginner, I would always think of what I would be if I was better and that really kept me going.
I always cried myself out because of frustration and disappointment. This realy helps, I'm just a begginner so. Thank you
Oh gosh yeah, even on the simple beginner pieces... It can be so frustrating sometimes! Keep it up :)
Keep it up and remember it's not just you who gets down and gets frustrated from time to time. I learned how to play piano way back when I was still around 5 years old, but then I stopped practicing and then later on returned, and then stopped again for years, then returned, and the cycle continued. And now, thanks to the quarantine, I am earnestly practicing piano once again. But to be honest when I assessed my self, I still think I'm in the middle of the beginner level. I waisted so many years and haven't really made any significant progress. That's a little bit depressing... but I always try to encourage myself. And now I'm in my third month and I think I've made a slow yet significant progress.
As for you, even if it gets hard, just continue. You'll get better at it at some point. 😁 Just don't stop.
so hows its going?
I can play like 5 notes on c major and then notes start being in different places on the staff and I get mad and leave the piano!!
You can do it bro!
Thank you! Very helpful! I’m 59 and piano playing was always on my bucket list. I’ve played the guitar in the past which helps. I’ve been playing about 14 months. Patience is key.
With no previous experience, I learned to play moonlight sonata. It took me 10 months :) patience and daily practice is the key. Daily 10 mins that's all it takes. I'm 31 and single, playing piano helps me to stay calm and positive towards life
All my short life I have felt a gentle familiarity from this instrument. Sometimes, even just the sight if a piano would bring tears to my eyes. I'm not waiting till this in on my bucket list to learn. Life is too short.
_If you can play it slowly,_ you can play it at the right tempo
Then you can learn faster
Just started learning piano 2 months ago, this video is perfectly in time for me! Thank you!!! Let you stay safe and sound during this quarantine.
I’m little over 1 month into piano! Good luck for you and I hope you enjoy getting better at it!

@@dinosourkisses6425 me - yes
what piano yall use?😢 cuz i dont have piano
@@ammarhakim3948 digital piano. it's cheaper, less weights and portable enough
I started learning to play the piano in March on my 62nd birthday. Recently I'm feeling that disappointment you described. But, listening to you has really enlightened me in terms of knowing that it is natural to have those feelings along the way! Thank you!
Kudos to you for not giving up! I'm 39 and I'm finally going to start after starting 20 years ago only to give up on it
I am 61 and just started a month ago 😀 it is an amazing experience. I also grateful to These lessons. He is really professional instructor. God bless him for that.
Another "bucket lister" here. 62 years behind me and no telling how many more I have left. My new keyboard should arrive next week and I'm anxious to get started. In an effort to help me remember which keys are which when learning to sight-read, I was considering some stickers that I've seen that you place on the keys, that indicate the note name, as well as its position on the staff. Do you have any thoughts on these regarding their possible value?
Don't use the stickers, they are a crutch. Learn the music alphabet and the location of the note C which is the note to the left of the two black key set.
Love the Ghibli shirt!
New subscriber here and new piano student...at 56!!! Lord help me, and you sure did, Tim! So helpful and you just layed out all the things I will be trying to learn...with patience of course!
@M Rth wow! Impressed 👏👏 good luck with the piano playing :)
These are wonderful tips. Starting from the problem areas has really helped me in mastering rough spots. I am also focusing on your tips on theory as I never understood music theory before when I played. Thank you!
This was in my recommended, I don’t really need this video but decided to see what kind of things you’d say. These are all very helpful things and working on problem areas stuck out to me because I consciously do this when learning a new piece and thought it was good you made this video to inform beginners. Thank you for making this video I really appreciate it.
By "moonlight sonata" he probably meant the 3rd movement,
Not the first one
Great lesson, thank you. Slouching was the cause of my inability to go right up to all the octaves without getting into a twist so I now have that under control. Thank you also for reinforcing the fact that playing the piano is a skill which requires an enormous amount of dedication, patience and determination particularly when we get frustrated and downcast thinking that we will never make progress and make unrealistic comparisons. You have hit all the important points so your encouragement is much appreciated particularly for me as a newbie senior student.
Thanks for all your encouragement, great video thanks Tim!
You are so good at explaining and motivating. I love your tutorials.
I'm loving these lessons. so helpful as I am trying to teach myself !

Piano Lessons On The Web Thank you for sharing your knowledge via this YT channel! I’m learning a lot from you. I’ve never played, but always dreamed of learning. I’m 52 now and unemployed, so FINALLY my dream is happening! I’m so stoked! I haven’t bought my keyboard yet because I’m saving for a good one, but everyday I watch a few videos and learn something. Your videos are really great! Good job!!!
Many thanks, Tim!!!

One thing I want to ask:what if the whole liece didnot tell you any fingering?(I am playing caprise 24 in A minior,itis a violin piece, it doesn't has piano scotel
I guess im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my login password. I love any help you can give me!
This was helpful. Made me feel better about where I am at in my lessons as well. Thanks!😊😊😊
When my daughter was in school, she played violin and viola. I once asked her if she memorized the music. She pointed to the sheet music and said "Why should I memorize it when it's written right here" . Blew me away! I'd messed around with some instruments, but I thought that being able to site read fast enough to play straight off of the sheet music was something only 'accomplished musicians' did.
Thank you for this ! The irony being I'm actually learning the Moonlight sonata haha and my teacher threw me right into it after barely 2 weeks of piano alltogether ! I managed to learn half of the first movement now, after 2 months and I'm feeling a bit optimistic, but whenever I even think about the 3rd movement I almost lose all hope alltogether haha. My hope is to learn it all by heart by the end of the year so that would have been a whole year spent on it and my musician friend thinks that's almost too quickly haha. PATIENCE is indeed the word of the day !! or the word of the year really, but at the same time I feel the piano is teaching me so much, patience being just one of them. Faking it would be another, there just isn't any faking it, if you practice it sounds okay if you don't it shows ! big time ! And then you look at maestros who make it seem like music is pouring through their finger directily into the keys !! and you feel so utterly useless and inadequate... It really helps to have professional musicians as friends because they practice like 10 hours a day and reassure me that NO! no one woke up one day and could play anything well, everyone has to take their time to go through their own difficulties and yes, starting with the difficulties is a great thing to learn because they are also sooo individual ! It's weird and stupid, but we even tend to wish we had other people's difficulties because they seem cooler, instead of accepting the very personalized difficulties we face and then, well face them head on ! I'm now taking all the time I need to get through my own hurdles and I'm happy I'm an amateur and stand only under the pressure I put on myself, which is quite enough already haha
Love these lessons!
I can't believe this is free.... Thank you so much! I'm gonna binge all your videos
Im new and I already knew all of these, but it is very helpful to hear a more in depth explanation of why I need to prioritize learning these things.
Gotta love those videos.
Who needs a piano teacher when he has tim :D ?
Me
Thanks this was very very helpful
Very helpful. Thanks man
Much appreciation for you!
Thanks for inspiring me to first get a keyboard at a pawnshop, and secondly leading me on to Czerny's 100 Progressive Lessons. It'd be awesome if you could do a series on these because I'm struggling with some of the notations, like #12 for example with the little 'flutter' note as I call it in 6/8 time. Granted I'm barely into this book, it's already teaching me finger independence.
You are the best❤💙💜💚 Thank for the stuff you are doing.
Good teaching, clear explanation, thanks...and also for the advise on the way to improve and not give up. I a friend of mine said..."playing music is like roaring against the current". So, never give up to grow....
Growing up, playing clarinet in band and lifelong guitar player, I only learned to read treble clef. Learning piano has been my quarantine project. I’m having a super hard time learning to read bass clef and putting it all together. The frustration is real, but I’m trying to learn!
: Love your work. I'm 66 and about 4 months into the first Thompson's book. It's a real bummer comparing myself to Richard Clayderman,...love His music. I set my goals really high but get disappointed of course when I do. I found, learning pieces I just love, like Fur Elise, is a great motivator. I can play the first few measures and I'm as pleased as punch, but at my age, it sure takes practice to get that left hand finding bass clef notes.
Awesome vid thank you!
Thank you for your help!
You are a good teacher.
Solid tips! Reminds me of being in vocal class. I'm learning how to play now!
I always learn something new from your videos.
Excellent vid Thank you.
Great information
Thank you 🙏
Thanks a lot!
Good this video just came out. I ordered my first keyboard yesterday and I’m eager to learn. I already started to learn how to read notes. I also know how to play guitar and and I‘m a percussionist so I hope my experience will help me with learning piano
Can you post a video showing us the progress you've made so far, please ?
As a guitarist, I would kindly mention as part of posture, breathing consciously and correctly is an essential component of music practice and performance. No breath; no life. This was aptly exemplified some years back in the movie, "The Karate Kid." Spending a minute or so contemplating your breathing relative to a composition's rhythm, meter, and tempo is extraordinarily helpful in quelling stress and anxiety in advance of any music lessons or exhibition(s). Metaphorically, it is the invisible, quiet, but abiding companion of patience.
Erik Satie is nice for beginning. His piano works do not require velocity yet one can evolve a good feel for legato and discover new nuances in interpretation as progression moves along.
You are an excellent piano teaching resource. Do you have the correct fingering for 2-3 8va scales and flat scales. I have looked for this info and have found incomplete and conflicting info. Thanks much!
Thank you! Do you have any lessons for rhythm?
I LOVE your hat!
I have to say... I love how you have the music above the piano, just like at home and anywhere else I have ever seen, live. Flowkey does not do this.
Your tips are very helpful! What software do you use in your videos to notate music with handwriting? I'm an adult beginner interested in music theory. Thanks!
you didnt know about sightreading till college?!...man where did you come from? we started sightreading and sightsnging as part of our regular school curriculum in grade three! and that was 1961.
Weird flex but ok
Weird flex but ok
I need to start on my problem areas more often. I've been wanting to be able to play Minuet in G for a long time now, but I usually get lazy.
Right now, my main problem area is measure 6-8.
you got this! :)
hiya! I'm 13 and I've just been learning on and off since 2019 but I never really got anywhere. I would learn the start of songs and not finish them and its just been wild lol. I would like to learn more about pinao like how to play properly and how to read sheet music :) I have a music assesment due tomorrow and I've been struggling...
anyways question: How long have you been playing for and how did you learn to play?
So I started wanting to play piano when I went to a thrist store and found a keyboard so yesterday I started playing some songs not hard songs like little songs so I suggest starting off with easy songs and making your way up to harder songs
hows its going?
You are really underrated
Thank you FYI. How long does it take to play "marriage d'amour" decent as an adult complete beginner. what difficulty level is 'marriage d'amour' in your opinion? and i know that it would take years but can you give me approximate number please.
I love these videos mate though out this vid i was like yep i learned this from your other videos. Your amazing I've been doing this for a few months so thankyou.
I want to learn how to play two treble or two bass clef pieces like for example "Where Are You Christmas?" Has two treble clefs at the beginning. Thanks
Uhm... Just... Play them... Lol put your fingers on the piano's tiles and just go for it, what's so difficult about it ?
I noticed on my own to not always start from the beginning for music sheet. I would play the beginning really good but terrible at the ending. Need to start at the hard parts, middle, and ending.
I am self-taught and have played piano since my mid-teens and I'm now 62. I was actually IN the music biz and played with some well-known names but hung it up in the early 80's to raise a family. While I was told by many that I had/have great chops, I never learned to read nor studied actual theory. My curse was that I play[ed] and learn[ed] strictly by ear.
Now that I'm retired and comfortable, I would like to resume my lifelong quest to finally learn piano [jazz] theory as well as sightread. However, one of the most frustrating things for me to understand has been proper fingering. I will play piano runs on tunes like I always have, but with the advent of RUclips and seeing these pianists play, I discover that my fingering is totally wrong. That is VERY disheartening and makes me wonder if the adage "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" applies to me.
Any suggestions for apps or specific lesson areas I can look into?
Yeah. I always thought Ray Manzarek of The Doors would end up becoming a hunchback. lol
Hi Tim. Do you have any suggestions for me. I wear glasses (bifocals😩) I’m struggling with trying to see my lesson book or any sheet music.
Also, as a beginner (49 y/o) you’re one of my top go to ppl here on yt. So thank you for what u do!
I was scouted (forced) into our jazz ensemble by our band director. I only realized that all of my skill and practice was useless in front of a piece of sheet music that I never learned how to read. To any beginner in the comments: Learn it. It sucks. It just does. But learn it. It’s hard, but you’ll get used to it. There is no greater feeling than completing a piece, something that becomes extremely difficult with videos or learning by ear. (A synthesia can only get you so far, you are limiting yourself.)
I have 2 questions. 1, the fingering you showed on the piece made sense until the part where it showed fingering 321, that seems wrong? The other question is you said on sight reading that the first chord was G and that was the key, doesn't the F# make it in the key of D? I am just learning and love all your lessons!!!! Thanks and I'll see you on Monday. Wayne
Key of D has two sharps (F# C#)
The key of G has one sharp (the F#) and the key of D has two sharps, one being the F# and the other being C#. Each key after contains the sharps of the keys before it plus another. So the next key of A would have three sharps, F#, C# and G#
@@LessonsOnTheWeb Yep, shame on me, that's why your the teacher and I am the student. Do you have any thoughts on the fingering question?
When I always start practicing I start from the beginning and if I mess up I’ll practice that part and same with the rest.
I start to learn Minute G but I face a problem in Bar 15 on bass clef. Are the notes C, D & D? There is a little bar above the note D & D. Is it mean something different. Thanks.
Yes, it is C, D, D. What do you mean there is a bar above D and D?
As a person who borders between a beginner and intermediate w/o any musical talents - so my lv is I can play "Merry Xmas Mr. Lawrence" comfortably, my prob is that I CAN NEVER memorize a music piece. I'm pretty decent with sight reading cuz I can't memorize a single piece so I must have music sheets in front of me... :( even the pieces that I've been practicing for yrs! Of course, I can't play by ear whatsoever.. Any tips here????
i asked a thos question to some of piano teachers but they did not give exact answer..
can you please answer this question of mine.. because nobody knows the correct answer.. here is my question,.how to used your finger when playing melody in right hand.. when playing melody in right hand you need to play one by one keys of a piano.. is there a correct fingering.. i saw a lot pianist sometimes they used thumb finger for the key of D.. sometimes they used thumb finger in different keys.. is there a formula or only guessing which keys you need to press...??
you always mention putting websites in the description, but I can never find them. I need your help and the extra websites for practicing. Can you tell me how I can find the websites? I don't see a description anywhere. Thanks.
it’s under the video
Learning in a time frame is something I have too work at like an hour of skills work
I want to take piano classes, but I don’t know if I’m able to do it. I would love to! I’m kinda scared tho xD
Cheap and easy way to start is use on on line app to see if you will stick with it. I use Simply Piano by Joytunes. No financial connection to me at all. Just a satisfied customer.
@@telstar46 I have read other users' reviews on android playstore. Looks like some people are disappointed by the way it works. Once you have subscribed to premium edition; some of the lessons, the app can't pick the notes played by ur piano and hence make the lesson/excise difficult to finish. Is it real worth it??
I played for four years but quit cause my piano teacher was going to slow cause thats the pace my brother went and i got bored but started playing again five years later teaching myself and going at my own pace
8:39 bro you should have said Moonlight sonata third movement :(((
nice hat
correct fingering technique.. ha that's what she said. But seriously i love you i'm going to watching all your videos!
It’s not a *Piano Lessons On The Web* piano tutorial without him playing für elise.
Im advance but im here
I. Play hym§ with my right trying what ì have learn now
Still have trouble with twinkle twinkle little star😕
Keep trying and practicing!
Sight reading doesn't really matter
It's just a bonus point

Kudos for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you researched - Riddleagan Possessing Piano Remedy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive product for learning how to play the piano easily minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got amazing results with it.
Great Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Renndrew Volleyball Victimless (do a search on google)? It is a great one of a kind product for uncovering the simple trick to master the piano minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my best friend Jordan got excellent results with it.
I hate learning to read sheet music. I will pass on that one. Its just not fun to me.
I have a reading music lesson coming out in a few hours. I still recommend you check it out. Reading music is really important!
Just learn the very basics and find some easy sheet music for songs you like and take it from there. Just like a child learning to read. The more interesting the story, the faster the learning goes.
I enjoy reading sheet music; I’m not that great, but I’ve gotten to the point at which I can see sheet music and play in my head. It really opens up how music is arranged and why it sounds the way it does. Plus you can quickly write down your ideas without needing a tape or digital recorder.
Learn to sight read you say? There’s a way to turn the majority of people off learning to play the piano.
"start small seconds not decades"
With few mistakes what planet are you from
I LeArNeD HaRd PieCeS wHeN i BeGun.
Yeah you just wanna show off non existent skills to people who does not really know much about music and don't have the knowledge to pickup mistakes.
You are not passionate, you are just a poser.
Guys we can't stress it enough, start low. Or you will struggle correcting the mistakes you've made when you started by HR6 just to be sure you can impress people when you tell them you play the piano.
Appreciate Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Riddleagan Possessing Piano Remedy (search on google)? It is a smashing one off product for learning how to play the piano easily without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate finally got great success with it.
