Can we take a moment and appreciate that this guy still hearth comment and reply even when this video is 6 years ago big ups to you men and thanks for this i was able to play all of it with correct fingers
I’m a bass player with a strong desire to play piano. This is where I am starting. Love the way you teach. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I’m subscribing.
I went back and forth between beginner friendly channels to advanced piano channels. Because I want to know the basic but also want to be inspired by advanced playing. I think your channel is the best of both worlds. Your videos are beginner friendly but you can show the basic through advanced playing. You're a great teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Concise video, to the point. Thank you Warren. The fact that someone can explain this in 20 minutes in one video instead of 20 minutes each in 12 videos is remarkable.
I had given up learning the piano until i got this tutorial. This is more a tutorial. It has a life of its own. Very inspiring and refreshing. Such a fine and seasoned teacher unlike any other i have found on RUclips. Thank you!
I can thank you enough for this. A month ago i didn't know any scales on piano. Today i learned the Bb Maj to finish off the video! I can now play all 12 major scales in two octaves with both hands at the same time! Playing with both hands was the hardest part for me and it literally took a week of practice before i could do it. I didn't think i'd be able to. I spent a week on the C scale alone. But after that it got easier and easier. I'm so happy! Thanks, Warren, for all you do! 💯
Some times it just clicks!! First run of this video it All went over my head. Took me to get the piano out to understand an even now it feels like I'm a long way off. Would be nice to see what notes are involved in the major an minor chords as the numbers are helpful but I can't see which keys are pressed! Stil great video and hope you have progressed further.
I have been practicing these daily, exactly as you suggest for 9 days now... i'm surprised at how quickly the improvement happens! Really enjoying the rewards of correct technique. Very grateful for the thought and effort you put in ... Thanks.
Unfortunately, you’re teaching the wrong fingering right off the bat (the two octave, right hand fingering). It should be 54321,321,4321,321. You shouldn’t teach what you don’t know yourself.
Mike Mitchell so he should start with his pinky, then ring finger, middle, index, thumb, then cross his middle finger over his thumb while as ascending lmaoo okay
I've been playing piano for 14 years and practicing scales properly through multiple octaves and proper fingering is something i have neglected all this time. this video is helping me a lot, thank you so much!!!
It's like am having lectures from simple to complex and really am enjoying. Have decided to begin from the older videos since am a beginner and it feels like am having a teacher each and every day in this journey. Thanks so much I believe I will play melodiously the piano and glory shall be to God...
Love your lessons. They help me a lot. I am christian and therefore music is really important to me for worship. . The Lord bless your efforts. Judi from New Zealand
Thank you, Warren. Lovely: "You don't want to practice anxiety." I love it. I have just taken my first piano lesson in 58 years! I am very surprised to be back at lessons and also amazed at how much my body does remember. Piano is taught differently now, though, and your words sum it up. Slowly and without anxiety. Thanks for the advice about practicing scales. I am practicing Eb--slowly and without anxiety--but haven't yet put the two hands together. I can see that it will help to pause at the cross overs when I feel ready to try this. Just reviewed your major scale fingerings video, too. Thank you again. Such a support to my learning!
Laura Hofer you're very welcome. Thank you for watching and I am glad you're finding the videos helpful. Welcome back to piano, it is never too late to get the fingers wrinkling again 🙂
I appreciate your doing this for us. I’m a brand newbie who decided to learn piano at age 57, but I listened to your tutorial about the excuses we make for NOT learning piano and I was encouraged to know that it’s never too late. Watching this was quite fast for me, so thank the Good Lord for the pause and rewind capabilities!😄
Piano Lesson with Warren May the Lord continue to bless you and your family, brother. Thanks for sharing your gift. You’re an encouragement to me and countless others. Grace and peace!
Love this. Just what I've been looking for. DAY one and already I feel I've learnt more than in the past year. Been struggling with scales and this is shown really well. Thanks you.
Love this tutorial! Working my way through each scale one by one and getting so much more comfortable with proper fingering and remembering each scale by heart. So far, I've worked my way through F major left and right hand. Gonna keep practicing a little more before I move on to the # and b major scales. Thank you for the awesome job you've done teaching us.
This video has helped me so much! My main instrument is bass clarinet (I’ve been playing for 4 years now) and I’ve decided to start learning a little piano. Most piano scale videos go to *great* lengths to explain what a scale is when really all I need to know is the fingerings. Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You´re by far the best piano teacher ever. Please do a Minor blues lesson, there´s none on the internet. Excuse my poor english. Greetings from Argentina.
hello Warren have been following for long but had never realized that this video existed most of the other videos were too advanced for me but today I've started working on this hoping for the best. THANKS ALOT
Mind blowing. I took classical lessons from age 5 to 15 years then discovered girls! Now 60 years later I got a Casio. I thought I had forgotten everything but within a couple of days following your instructions my hands seem to have remembered everything. ( At least the scales, not yet tried chords) I would not have believed it but the old saying " you never forget how to ride a bike" seems to apply here also.
I've been practicing these for a good while now and you're the only person I've found who has grouped them together like this. Great help, thank you :)
Me too. It was a pain the arse. So many RUclips teachers just want clickbait subjects to draw you in, but then jump to the next gimmicky subject. I don't knock their ideas, but if teaching is the goal its irresponsible to not organize the subject to benefit the pupil the way Warren here does.
Thank you warren this helped me to start since I played so many songs this was what I've been waiting for thanks again from Sri Lanka. I'm a professional classical guitarist but my 1st instrument was keyboard so I love to carry on that and I've searching for something to start with and there you are. Thanks brother much love
Thank You, Thank You,,,, great approach to jump on the band wagon,,,,, of course, with some good ears, all note scales in sequence help you learn the foundations for readily grasping the progressions, to achieve classical composition,,,,,,,
As a musician this is very helpful. I didn't have the privilege to work on my foundation because of responsibilities I had to fill at church. Don't regret it but definitely going back to the basic to perfect my craft. Thanks bro. Always appreciate your videos❤️💯
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! Very helpful and descriptive. And I like how you explain the importance of proper finger placement at the end of each scale to set up for multiple octaves.
I never thought I would be entertained watching a scales drill video. I appreciate your time making this vid and will be incorporating this style into my drills daily. :) Thank you Warren!
Thank you, sir. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you took to create this video. I will endeavour to diligently practice what you have taught. Please take care of yourself. Peace.
👍👍Thank You, Warren! Your exceptionally calm and patient demeanor made the video very easy to follow and inspiring. I'm surprised to find myself excited about practicing "proper technique"!
Dude... I'm watching this in 2019 as a drummer who wants to learn piano, and it's helping so much... Also I wanna jam over that solo at the beginning. You got chops man
@@PianoLessonwithWarren Let me know if I should send you a simple recording sometime of that samba salsa feel. Your solo is so fun to jam over... That's an hour I won't get back lol. And honestly, I don't want it back
Great tutorial, Warren! You really get a lot into 21 minutes. Thanks for sharing your accumulated wisdom. The practical demo of the value of the scales is also well taken! Brian
So good of you to write the fingering as they differ between the Left and Right. 54321 321 /123 1234 5 but you show that much practice is necessary to 4321 4321 Left Hand thanks
I need to practice these adding the sharps and flats one at time.. Graet JOB i highly recommend this guy. If your wanting to learn basics to out of this world playing tutorials...
I have had my piano for about 4 days now and come onto ur vids and they are proving a great introduction on "what do I do now" now that I have a piano, I am using flash cards to learn sheet music skills. I am looking forward to exploring more of your vids as I gain skills........ thank you
You are a gifted teacher Warren. I’m brand new to your videos, I happened upon them on accident this morning and so glad I did. I went to your website and signed up for your 3 day trial and will devour as much info as I can process. After being injured in Iraq and retiring from military, I found myself with lots of time. My wife bought me a guitar and I spent the last few years playing it lots and have gotten pretty decent. As a surprise for Christmas she told me that she got me a Roland Keyboard Synthesizer to learn a new instrument. The goal will be to eventually also have some e-drums as well and be decent at em all. Anyhow I’ve been exploring different teaching sites online and had been contemplating playground sessions. However, I’m gonna give your trial a go and I believe you may be a better fit for me and how I learn. I like worship music so I also study guitar and eventually other instruments at a site called worship artistry. But they assume you already know how to play in order to really play all the song lessons. Anyhow keep up the good work.
Purple Heart Scott thanks for watching bro, and sorry to hear you got injured. I assume you’re military, if so thank you for your service :) While going through the trial subscription on the website, if yuh have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks
Lol you look sleepy in this video, but couple of things, your channel has evolved greatly and also this is one of the most completed and important videos you have on you channel
Hi Warren I am getting back into the piano from 45 years ago! Love your video on major scales it’s getting my fingers working again so thank you. I really would like to go through all your tutorials so not sure how to get to No 5. Cheers from the Sunny Coast Australia. Jude
Thank you. I was looking for this because I found it difficult to continue to have my thumb on b flat when I was playing F major scale. This helps alot. So I guess there is only 4 fingering rules on playing major scale: 1. avoid thumbs on black keys; 2. try to land on octaves with the most comfortable finger just to continue on; 3. find the most comfortable/natural pivot finger when switching to thumb. 4. only use pinky when it feels natural.
Jake Lewson that pretty much sums it up :). Playing the piano should actually feel as comfortable as riding a bicycle. If it doesn’t, then you’re doing something wrong. For more technique building routings, you can checkout my course here; pianolessonwithwarren.com/downloads/building-technique/
You are an amazing teacher! Lots of love from India. I'll be finishing these lessons and will be joining courses on your website. Thank you so so much.
to summarize the white keys, C,D,E,G,A are all 123,12345 or 54321,321 with both hands depending on which direction you're moving. B is still the same for RH and F is still the same for LH, but B for LH and F for RH both use 1234,1234 or 4321,4321 simply to avoid the awkwardness of putting the thumb up on a black key
Thank you so much for this incredible video! Only started learning piano recently so this has been extremely helpful, you have a great way of explaining things and a great method of teaching.
Thanks Warren. Comparing this video to your latest tutorials (2019) signals how greatly God has advanced and enlarged your coast within the space of 4 years! Please keep up the good work and be assured the sky☁️ is your starting point! 😘😘😘
hey warren :) very nice video, after spending 15 days time I have got a good speed. Very nice tutorial. One thing I want to share is... if some one searches for scales in RUclips your video appears on 4-5 positon... and the top 4-5 I would say are useless video comparing to this video. I think if you add a image for 140k views and a 12 Scale image on the top of this video.... I think this video can get a lot of attention .............. Thanks From a Student in INDIA
I agree with that top comment great teacher for this video rather than me make one for my students I try and send them to your website for this. Long story short I would love to see the same video but just straight through at 50 bpm I want to make my students call out the names of the notes you’re playing while you’re playing them!! If you don’t do Pham videos all good I’ll make one and I’ll give a shout out to you thanks so much for all your patience
WOW! How to EVER get fast with these....let alone, know correct fingering. I truly hope this great teacher helps us with this impossible seeming skill 😖
I play. C, G, D, A, E, B, F, B£, E£, A£, D£, G£ Major triads, 7th,'s, everyday, but had never considered changing my approach to different scales because of the back key position. You have impacted my music. Thank you.
Thank you, warren. My parents got me a Casio keyboard as an early birthday present two weeks ago. I tried to figure out some of the major scales myself , based on the formula. I could actually figure out some ,like the B major and the C sharp for example, But I got sort of confused, especially with the B flat major scale and the F major scale. Your video series is really helping though, thanks again.
Sorry my good man but I can barely hear you on this video You're a good teacher and I hope that you can remedy this because I would really like to learn this particular lesson from you thank you so much

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I stopped numbered the videos as there not connected. So it doesn’t really matter what order you go through them.
Thank you. I was looking for this because I found it difficult to continue to have my thumb on b flat when I was playing F major scale. This helps alot.
So I guess there is only 4 fingering rules on playing major scale:
1. avoid thumbs on black keys;
2. try to land on octaves with the most comfortable finger just to continue on;
3. find the most comfortable/natural pivot finger when switching to thumb.
4. only use pinky when it feels natural.
Jake Lewson that pretty much sums it up :).
Playing the piano should actually feel as comfortable as riding a bicycle. If it doesn’t, then you’re doing something wrong.

9 years later. Still found this useful. Thanks, Warren 🙏🏼
That’s awesome to hear :)
You are an amazing teacher! Lots of love from India. I'll be finishing these lessons and will be joining courses on your website. Thank you so so much.
I've been watching a bunch of your tutorials and I love the energy your videos are really helpful.
I am looking forward to learning all 12 major scales with the correct fingerings. Thank you for your service Warren:-)))
You’re welcome 😉
Brother you are really opening up our minds this work is absolutely awesome,, thanks
Thank you very much my man, this is exactly what I was looking for and now it has help me learn fast and right, thanks again.
Great job...I can't share my feelings in words..I wanna say simply- God bless u always
Shubham Vats thank you 🙏🏾
to summarize the white keys, C,D,E,G,A are all 123,12345 or 54321,321 with both hands depending on which direction you're moving. B is still the same for RH and F is still the same for LH, but B for LH and F for RH both use 1234,1234 or 4321,4321 simply to avoid the awkwardness of putting the thumb up on a black key
Thank you so much for this incredible video! Only started learning piano recently so this has been extremely helpful, you have a great way of explaining things and a great method of teaching.
Thanks for watching 😊🙏🏾
Piano scales for simpletons. Exactly what I was looking for! Brilliant. Thank you.

Hi Warren, thank you very much, this will help me to organize my Scale-Practicing much better.
Have a great day!
Greetings from Germany👋🏻
This the first video I’ve actually learned how to place my hands correctly on the piano🙏
Love this! Says everything that I had been looking for clearly and all in the same place. Thank you so much!
zcparijataka awesome, you’re welcome and thank you for watching 😊👍🏽🙏🏾
Thank you so much bro, I struggled a lil not knowing about scales in music and now I know all of them
Thanks Warren. Comparing this video to your latest tutorials (2019) signals how greatly God has advanced and enlarged your coast within the space of 4 years! Please keep up the good work and be assured the sky☁️ is your starting point! 😘😘😘
Thank you very much, it has been a journey 😊👍🏽🙏🏾🥰
Great lessons Warren. Many thanks from India 🙏
hey warren :) very nice video, after spending 15 days time I have got a good speed. Very nice tutorial.
One thing I want to share is... if some one searches for scales in RUclips your video appears on 4-5 positon... and the top 4-5 I would say are useless video comparing to this video. I think if you add a image for 140k views and a 12 Scale image on the top of this video.... I think this video can get a lot of attention .............. Thanks From a Student in INDIA
pankaj joshi thank you for the suggestion 😊👍🏾

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
and of course you make playing look effortless, as a very early beginner, that is my goal to one day play like that!
IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS THANK YOU ITS VERY UNDERSTANDABLE
I’m glad you found us too 😊🙏🏾
I agree with that top comment great teacher for this video rather than me make one for my students I try and send them to your website for this. Long story short I would love to see the same video but just straight through at 50 bpm I want to make my students call out the names of the notes you’re playing while you’re playing them!! If you don’t do Pham videos all good I’ll make one and I’ll give a shout out to you thanks so much for all your patience
Thank you so much sir for sharing your knowledge! God bless you! ❤

I play. C, G, D, A, E, B, F, B£, E£, A£, D£, G£ Major triads, 7th,'s, everyday, but had never considered changing my approach to different scales because of the back key position. You have impacted my music. Thank you.
Stephanie Guilmenot you’re welcome 😉
Thank you, warren. My parents got me a Casio keyboard as an early birthday present two weeks ago. I tried to figure out some of the major scales myself , based on the formula. I could actually figure out some ,like the B major and the C sharp for example, But I got sort of confused, especially with the B flat major scale and the F major scale. Your video series is really helping though, thanks again.
sean keogh awesome, thanks for watching, glad to hear it’s working 😊👍🏾
