Incredible video, having an exact finite number of intervals, scales, chords etc is so motivating, makes it feel like it is possible to attain full mastery, even if will take a long time to get there, thank you!!
Your teaching is so sincere and really want us to learn.your patience make me feel guilty not to delagently memorize all your precious class thamk you so much and start following your class and play❤😊
I appreciate all that you go through to produce these lessons, to learn these inversions is going to take a hot minute but I'm committed, focus and most of all hungry! see you when I have learned this lesson.
At seventy eight I've just bought a digital beginners piano. I got a bit lost with looking at RUclips, buying instructional books and trying to get a way into learning to play piano. This video has now given me a basic roadmap. Thank you.
You are a great teacher. I’m watching less advanced videos now and making better progress. The most important topic you mentioned is to master triads. And I liked your disclaimer about jazz. Jazz is for people that are at least a level 8. I’m happy now playing my Moulin de Ville and have started the first nine. But I’m also transposing into the keys with up to three sharps or flats. I’m also practicing my scales with the Rule of the Octave. By doing this, all of a sudden I recently made a jump in the ease of playing new pieces. Merci beaucoup.
Thank you Assaf, this is another impecable lesson in the direction of helping us in learning to be a musician. It looks fun ahead! All the best to you!
Thank you for this explanation. Ive got lots of work ahead of me. I going to enjoy listening to songs and working thru all these topocs. This is good stuff😊
I consider myself an intermediate to beginning advanced jazz piano player, but this was so good for me to watch to see if I have any gaps in my knowledge. I love reviewing these things from time to time. Thank you so much for this excellent video! I'm starting to dabble in modern pop genre too. Can you please make a video on different left hand possibilities for pop piano? I'm familiar with arpeggios and octaves, but wouldn't mind more on that as well as common rhythms. Thank you so much!
Thanks for this truly valuable lesson..it has helped me develop a plan to address several areas I need to focus on. One quick question: do you consider the ability to 'sight read' at a moderate level as an 'intermediate skill'? I've been working on many of the skills you've outlined, but I also practice at least some sight reading every day, and it has paid off when learning new music. Thx again!
Lots of useful information in this video, thanks! What about rhythm? Is there any kind of rhythms that you would recommend beginners to practice and master?
3:10 -- A♭ to E is not a minor 6th, it is an augmented 5th. If it had been A♭ to F♭, then it would have been a minor 6th. The letter names determine the number, then the sharps and flats determine major, minor, diminished, augmented, etc. So A to E is always some kind of 5th, and A to F is some kind of 6th. A♭ to F𝄫 (F double-flat) is a diminished 6th and A♭ to E𝄪 (E double-sharp) is a triply-augmented 5th.
Greetings sir thanks for the vid really inspiring and pushes one to practice further..now that I have the hanon exercises how do I successfully slot them in my daily practice...how do I practice them with efficiency and maintaining steady progress??
Start with just #1, practice X minutes a day (you choose) until you can perform it perfectly at around 100 to 110 bpm. Then add the next one, etc ... (make sure to practice once or twice any exercise that has already reached perfection).
The primary takeaway is that there might be a few shortcuts to memorising the notes and chords of a few given songs. However a sound understanding is going to be a long haul and will take many hours of study and practice.
This is scary. 60 years of playing guitar and piano, but I can't identify those intervals by ear. Yet can play by ear, and figure out chords to any pop songs with piano progressions. Lots of work still to do!
This seems like a lot of hard work… I best get started then. I find that practicing and memorizing all this stuff is more enjoyable when adding in improvisation. It takes the staleness out of the repetition.
I disagree, simply because the skills from beginner to pro are easy to grasp (even if difficult to master). The map is much less clear for the latter parts of the journey.
I can't help over thinking @3:15 the example of a minor 6th is an enharmonic minor 6th. In the key of A♭, E would be an augmented 5th. and F♭ a minor 6th. ☺
If you are referring to the notes on the screen then the software sometimes misclassifies notes (e.g. F# instead of Gb) because it doesn't follow the key I'm in.
@@MangoldProject Hi there, no. I'm saying that an interval of 8 semitones can be either a minor 6th or an augmented 5th., as both an augmented 5th. and a minor 6th., each span an interval of 8 semitones. The distance between A and F (8 semitones) is a minor sixth. The distance between A♭ and E (8 semitones) is an augmented 5th. Although the distance between G♯ and E (8 semitones) is also a minor sixth, I believe you refer to the note as being an A♭ and not a G♯.
@@MangoldProject It doesn't matter what key you are in. Ab to E cannot be a sixth. It isn't just the software, you also describe Ab to E as a minor 6th which is incorrect. Your posts \ channel are excellent. It looks like this little slip has just got past the editing.

Exactly. It's a finite road and one that is mapped out fairly explicitly.

Best video I’ve ever seen on learning piano. Thanks that really motivated me to start learning again
Thanks for defined the level of Intermediate level. It makes me feeling better and focus what I am missing.
You're very welcome!

Yes! You must first master the fundamentals. Make sure your foundations are strong before building on them.
Thanks Sir ! Your instructions are very clear and helpful.
Thanks for all your lessons
I Love this channel! thanks for you share you knowledge with us ❤❤❤ Grettings from Brazil!
Thank you Assaf, this is another impecable lesson in the direction of helping us in learning to be a musician. It looks fun ahead! All the best to you!
My pleasure!
This is a great roadmap. I've kind of skipped around these steps without mastering any. This will be helpful. Thanks!
Exactly. Be systematic, that's the most important thing.
Awesome stuff Sir THANK YOU SO MUCH 👌 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉THANK YOU 👌

I'll certainly give it thought!
Thanks again! In one of your next tutorials, I would really appreciate a lesson on rhythm and / or timing.
Noted!

Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this🎉 ❤Iam a beginner from Kottayam Kerala India 🎉
Lots of useful information in this video, thanks! What about rhythm? Is there any kind of rhythms that you would recommend beginners to practice and master?
Brazilian/African rhythms can be very challenging - e.g. playing the Bossa Nova (on which I happen to have a tutorial!).
Well done 👍 Keep it up ❤

The quality of your lessons is as advanced as the quality of your voicings, so I would say you're "there yet" in multiple ways!
This begs the question of just how much quality my voicings have ... :)

@@MangoldProject thank you sir will do
Thank you very much
thanks Sir....
Getting to an intermediate level takes a lot of work!
Yes, but the work is very "structured" and clear!
❤
I can play all the scales, their chords and their inversions, but I struggle to identify and recall intervals. I'm stuck :)
Slow and steady wins the race.
The primary takeaway is that there might be a few shortcuts to memorising the notes and chords of a few given songs. However a sound understanding is going to be a long haul and will take many hours of study and practice.
That is absolutely correct. There is no substitute for hard work (although the hard work should also be done intelligently).
This is scary. 60 years of playing guitar and piano, but I can't identify those intervals by ear. Yet can play by ear, and figure out chords to any pop songs with piano progressions. Lots of work still to do!
Oh no, I didn't mean to identify them by ear. Just to be able to identify them, period.
@@MangoldProject I also thought you meant by ear. So to identify them by sight is fine?
This seems like a lot of hard work… I best get started then.
I find that practicing and memorizing all this stuff is more enjoyable when adding in improvisation. It takes the staleness out of the repetition.
In my opinion, moving from beginner to intermediate is harder than intermediate to Pro.
I disagree, simply because the skills from beginner to pro are easy to grasp (even if difficult to master). The map is much less clear for the latter parts of the journey.
GheeZ I’m gonna be a beginner all my life 😂😅
No you won't! Persevere and you will improve!
Could you break it down a little more simple
I can't help over thinking @3:15 the example of a minor 6th is an enharmonic minor 6th. In the key of A♭, E would be an augmented 5th. and F♭ a minor 6th. ☺

Yikes! I will be a beginner FOREVER!!!
No, you will practice and you will improve!
its hard to play the scales in every keys and the 7chords bla bla timeee only time
Play 100 major chords, 100 minor chords, and 10,000 scales every day and you will improve!
@@MangoldProject Please what do you mean by 100 major chord. You mean C, G, F A?
Do not talk too much ..
Ok.
