Un año es demasiado tiempo para aprender a tocar todas estas obras teniendo en cuenta que el piano es el instrumento más fácil de aprender a tocar. Creo que con un aprendizaje intensivo de 2 semanas ya se pueden tocar todas esas obras , con una sola mano y sobre todo con los ojos cerrados, porque cuando los abras te darás cuenta de que ha sido todo un sueño y que la realidad es otra muy distinta.
Das Klavier ist nicht das leichteste Instrument - ganz im Gegenteil. Am Klavier ist es leicht, einen Ton zu erzeugen, im Gegensatz zur Geige. Trotzdem gibt es kein Instrument (außer Orgel) indem Violin und Basschlüssel gleichzeitig gelesen werden!
Ziggymonster13 Cool. My first lesson was earlier today. I did the C Major scale and a few chords and I can already tell it’s going to take days of practice for me to even comprehend where I am on the keyboard while playing.
Don't sell your piano just because of a RUclips video that is probably fake anyway :'( don't give up I believe in you! ❤ If you look more in the comments you can read that professional pianists say it is fake. Don't loose out on such a beautiful instrument and skill just because of a video :(
Also no one can learn Chopin in less than a year (unless you are a prodigy) otherwise it would be in grade 4 or less if it were that easy which of course it isn't. My dad can't even play Chopin smoothly after years of playing. Chopin is hard and takes years of practice until you can play it otherwise everyone would be playing it and being tought it.
As a veteran pianist, this is my advice to anyone who wants to learn: *You must have the ‘want’ and ‘drive’ to learn this instrument. It can be personal or completely beside reason, you have to have a strong argument as to why you want to learn and not because it just looks cool, cause if that’s the mindset, your going to crash hard and abandon it faster than a dad going to the store to buy milk! Have a purpose, just a warning….* *Define the type of music you like and roll with it. It’s never a bad idea to go into classical works and learning about theory and applied music knowledge, but you want to learn so you can play the music you like, so go from there!* *Play for the love and passion for music, not for spite or revenge. You’ll be introduced to a lot of others that will make you feel inadequate and intimidated. Every artist bring their style to the table, and that’s never something to be ashamed of. Be humble and build yourself and your repertoire.* With this, you have a basic foundation for almost anything musical.
I can put this way simpler. You have to really like playing. If you enjoy playing, you're naturally gonna have the want and drive. If you don't like playing, you're not gonna have that.
Im a professional piansit, and although I commend his skill, I simply do not belive he never had lessons prior to this. I played fantasy impromptu in my final year of college after 13 years of the piano, meedless to say its hard. Although he played it well i just have to point out that it takes alittle longer then a year to gain the skill, and it took me like 4 to 6 monthes to learn the piece. So almost half of his practice time.
@@GdHNightshadei mean u dont need 13 years of the piano to play fantasie impromptu, even a begginer could do it on 1 year if he just practices the piece, the thing is realizing how fucked up his technique would be at the end of that year
@pandahgz1528 I guess it's definitely possible, but even after over a decade, I had to practice non-stop to get it concert ready. I'm impressed, but I still sincerely doubt this person never had any lessons prior to this.
he's a charlatan, plain and simple and he's doing a disservice to beginners who will have unrealistic expectations. i'm all for inspiring people but lying is essentially evil.@@GdHNightshade
@@Andrew-zl2sg no, just no! 700hrs sound much but it quite isn't, if you play 2 hrs a day that'll be around 700hrs... and then you unlikely will have this level if you arent very very talented!
@@timwaffel1996 Why would you quit ? because he mastered in 4 days as an adult what most children master in 2 to 3 hours of lessons ? Are you all daft or just completely clueless about piano ? This guy worked hard, and it shows, still isnt that good after a year but can clearly have fun on the instrument and play complex tunes decently, if that's not motivating, what is ?
@@SithaSek he had no sheet up there, he just used RUclips to practice that song (those kind of songs are not too hard to do) and after practicing a lot he played it infront of camera he just has the dedication and passion to work hard
@@jinjunliu2401 On day 4, he used sheet music and on day one, he attempted the c major scale on his right hand, meaning he definitely had a teacher from the start.
@@KeysOfMysterium same here, I learnt c major on like my first weeks but the guy in the video said that he didn't get a teacher until like the 4th/6th month or something
I just found an awesome piano learning course which I know you are going to love. The course teaches you how to play piano professionally Here is the link >> HootPiano.xyz
This guy inspired me to learn piano, because I thought it would be so easy and in 1 year I would be playing like him. Now I've been playing for 3 years and all I can tell is it: no matter if he is a genious or a liar, just don't expect to be playing like hime in 1 year. Just multiply it for 6 and it will be more close of what probably will happen,.
This. It’s like those chess videos where people say they go from 500 to 1800 in one year. Who knows, maybe they did. You, however, will get stuck at 800 and never progress again. Talent is not distributed fairly.
Tbh I did go from 500 to 1800 in chess in a year and it's wayyyyy easier than what he is claiming to have done in a year , as I have now been 8 months on the piano and although I feel I'm progressing very well. I'm no where near this guy.@@stillmattwest
Not necessarily. I grew up with a completely religious family that wouldn't even allow me near music let alone a piano but I'm at "week 2" in my progress now and can play what he plays, by week 3 I'll probably be able to play Fur Elise too. I just need to keep playing 4 hours a day if I want to keep up LOL. The first week I was obsessed and sometimes spent 10 hours in a single day until I got backpain and a sore butt. But I'm using SimplyPiano so idk how he could get so far so quickly unless he was paying for music lessons or using the same app. The point is fast progress doesn't mean necessarily that you had a head start as a kid because I'm a living proof of that since my childhood was nearly deprived of music completely. I just spent a lot of time practicing and having fun.
Hear me out when I say this: Upon analysing this video and his progress, I have come to the conclusion that this video is most likely a fake, and a misleading progress video. Here are the reasons for my conclusion. 1. Finger posture. If you take a look closely at his fingers as he just begins in first week, his fingers are curved. This is the ideal standard for any pianists. However, he is in his FIRST week. In the first week, you simply don't expect a beginner to have excellent finger posture (take a look at Day 4 for example). In the first few weeks of picking up a new instrument, a beginner would always try to experiment with how to play the instrument; for piano, the first few days of a beginner's journey is always to try and see how to play the piano; and for violin, the first few weeks for a beginner is always playing pizzicato on the violin, instead of jumping right to playing with a bow properly. Thus, his accurate finger posture is very unbelievable for a beginner in his first week. 2. Reading music: In Day 4 up to the end of the first month, he appears to be looking, and reading off a sheet of music. In his first month, he states in his description that he started off with: "Random beginner piano tutorials and books (stopped trying to read music and started to learn music through online tutorials)". However, if you take a look at his music stand, a sheet of music is always there, and he seems to be reading off it consistently. Furthermore, he has to have some prior knowledge as to how to read a sheet of music, as he's in fact playing two hands coordinated in sync with one another. Normally, as a beginner, when you have no knowledge as to how to read music, and "stopped trying to read music", you wouldn't have the skill to play two hands coordinated together. Even if a beginner knows how to read music, they would not be able to read and play two hands together at the same time, and normally starts off with one hand. Thus, the description of the video, and the actual content in the video is very conflicting to the viewer, making the video less credible. 3. Repertoire: Let's list some of the pieces he has learnt in his progress, and the difficulty level of each of the piece. 1. Fur Elise 2:11 (Week 3) Let's quote a professional with a doctorate in music composition and classical music as to the difficulty level of this piece. "The work in its original form is quite difficult, and the below link shows why. There are several challenging sections that are less familiar primarily because of the unpleasant habit of many publishers and editors to vandalise works of the great composers by removing the difficult parts and dumbing down what is left. As a result there are several spurious versions that could be reasonably performed by an accomplished Grade 3 (ABRSM) student. The original version is around Grade 5 for ABRSM (the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music). In some syllabuses in the Americas it appears as Grade 7, presumably because their grading system is different or it is considered more difficult." In his playing, there are no traces of the "several challenging sections that are less familiar". To check out those sections, you can refer to Steinway artist Lang Lang's performance of the same piece ruclips.net/video/s71I_EWJk7I/видео.html . From the above observation, I assume that he is around ABRSM Grade 3 Standard by Week 3. That's less than a month for you to play a Grade 3 Standard piece. This may not be the most accurate representation, but here is a music teacher's approximation of the time it takes for a beginner to pass each Grade. "Beginner to Grade 1 - 23 months Grade 1 to Grade 2 - 17 months Grade 2 to Grade 3 - 13 months Grade 3 to Grade 4 - 11 months Grade 4 to Grade 5 - 15.5 months Grade 5 to Grade 6 - 18 months Grade 6 to Grade 7 - 13.5 months Grade 7 to Grade 8 - 15 months" To skip from beginner to play a Grade 3 Standard piece, including all the techniques (I believe I heard pedal sustaining the left hand as well?), in less than a month, is certainly a very impressive feat, so impressive it becomes quite questionable to the legitimacy of your progress. Clair De Lune 5:06 (Month 5): Clair De Lune is largely regarded as a piece which takes around Grade 7 to play. According to a user on an ABRSM forum regarding the grade of Clair De Lune, he states that: "I don't think pieces like clair de lune can be classified into grades but I do feel that in order to play the piece perfectly you should be used to grade 7 standard atleast.” According to many other sources which you can conveniently search up by typing "Clair De Lune grade", they all agree that Clair De Lune requires about Grade 7 level to play it. Let's refer back to the figure approximated by the piano teacher. "Beginner to Grade 1 - 23 months Grade 1 to Grade 2 - 17 months Grade 2 to Grade 3 - 13 months Grade 3 to Grade 4 - 11 months Grade 4 to Grade 5 - 15.5 months Grade 5 to Grade 6 - 18 months Grade 6 to Grade 7 - 13.5 months Grade 7 to Grade 8 - 15 months" From Beginner to Grade 7, you'll need about 23+17+11+13+15.5+18+13.5=111 months to reach Grade 7 standard. You played a Grade 7 Standard piece in 5 months! From this, I conclude that you must either be a piano prodigy, or you might have had prior piano training and is not a "true beginner" as to say. In month 10, you played Chopin Nocturne in C# Minor (opus posth) 9:06 (Month 10). Similarly, that is also a Grade 7 Standard piece, so you can refer to my explanation above. At the end of 1 year, you played Chopin - Fantaisie-Impromptu (op66 posth) 13:00 . In the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto)) piano syllabus, Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu is considered diploma-level. To reach a diploma level, you have already passed all levels from beginner to grade 8. No matter how many hours you have practised, 1 year is not enough. To build up a steady foundation to support you to your level of playing at the end of your progress video (which is very proficient, I must say), you will need a very long time to learn the proper and correct technique. I hear very clean pedal, crystal clear runs in the right hand, and smooth arpeggios in the left hand. These techniques all take a LOT of practise and steady foundation to gradually help and assist you to the level of playing you had in the end. Can I ask how long you have been sightreading fantaisie impromptu? If your video was true, you would have taken at most a year to sightread fantaisie impromptu, which is very unlikely as you mentioned earlier you didn't even know how to sightread sheet music. Furthermore, fantaisie impromptu is memorised at the end of a year! Memorising and reading a sheet of music is two different things; memorising simply needs more time to do so compared to reading off notes. Thus, I feel that your progress is most likely a fake, and a misleading progress video due to finger posture, reading of music and repertoire. Reading your comments also gave me another perspective as to the impacts you have caused on the people watching your video. In one of your top comments, a person commented "This guy gave me the inspiration to sell my piano.", and another user mentioned "this video destroyed my self confidence but thanks to these comments it got revived". I sincerely believe that this video is a very misleading one, as it clearly has had negative effects on the self-esteem of the people watching your video. I hope you can understand where I am coming from, and thank you.
i am sort of a half ass piano “prodigy” myself, i used to have piano lessons in 2018 and the teacher who has played all her life said she has never seen such a quick learner. i got about halfway through the first lesson book, then quit. i still kept playing but couldn’t read sheet music very well. i have recently come back to it and have been going through it very fast. my father, who has played all his life, gave the skill to me through genes and such. i started learning piano via synthesia in 2017 and i learned the first part of für elise as my very first song, and then i started trying hungarian rhapsody no2, which was an obvious no go because i couldn’t get past 25-30 seconds of it. after that, i made a mash up of a few different songs for my 6th grade talent show consisting of Toccata and Fugue by bach, für elise, moonlight sonata first mov, and a little bit of hungarian rhapsody. after that, i heard of a song called “la campnella” and i was hooked. i was able to learn up until the first 42 seconds, and then i had to stop because i had never trained my fingers to be that fast before hand. awhile after that, i slowly stopped playing at all. about a year ago i started learning waltz no. 19 by watching synthesia videos. after a few weeks, i fully learnt it, but then stopped playing again. coming back to piano about a month ago, i completely relearned it and started learning other songs and self teaching myself to read sheet music. coming from where he is (but on a smaller and less skilled scale) my guess is that the only reason why he learned so fast is because of genes through his mother or father or other close relatives.
I agree with you. His fingers at the first week it's not beginner. It's too perfectly curve. I played fűr elise for my 2nd song with syntesia with the same chord of him. and it's unbelievable to make it like his perform just 2 weeks
I started learning piano with 37. After 1,5 years of practice (with teacher 30 minutes a week and 30 minutes practice every day) I just learned playing "for Elise" and "river flows in you" 😅
700+ hours of playing. You only spend 30 minutes a week which equivalents to 36 hours of playing in 1.5 years. The difference is the guy spends too much time playing the piano and he’s really good at it too. Formula for this: 30 minutes a week x 4 weeks = 120 minutes a month 120 m/m x 18 months = 2160 minutes If converted it is only 36 hours of playing We can now find the solution for how many times a week he spends on the piano. 700 hours a year in minutes = 42000 minutes a year 42000 minutes / 12 months = 3500 minutes a month 3500 minutes / 4 weeks = 875 minutes a week 875 minutes / 7 days = 125 minutes a day Which means 2 hours a day!!! This is really encouraging for me to keep playing the piano. I will now practice from 1 hour to 3 hour a day because of this. But I have yet to master sheet reading because I believe learning sight reading is an essential skill for this accomplishment, so it’s gonna take a bit longer. I’ll be satisfied if I atleast managed to master Clair De Lune in 1 year of practicing from now. PS: I realized converting hours to minutes is kinda inaccurate so… 700 hours / 12 months = 58.333333… hours a month 58.333333… / 4 weeks = 14.583333…. hours a week 14.583333… / 7 days = 2.0833333…. hours a day 2.0833333… is 125 minutes. 2 hours and 5 minutes exactly
@@Dullification He wrote 30 minutes a week with a teacher and 30 minutes practice per day. That would be 4 hours per week, so 200 hours a year and 300 hours in 1,5 years. Still considerably less than 700+ hours obviously.
*To anyone feeling discouraged that they aren’t making this progress...* He’d played A LOT before that first day. Guaranteed. I’ve been playing for 40+ years and I guarantee you that this is not ‘beginner’ progress. No way. Lots of give away clues... His whole action, posture, hand position etc scream many years of training. No one gets to here after just one year. Especially playing all those different pieces from memory. Fantasie Impromptu after one year? 😂 Um, no. Keep going. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad. The piano is a lovely thing to play and endlessly satisfying...just *never ever compare yourself to anyone* on a RUclips video! The same goes for any instrument. Just enjoy yourself and have fun. Good luck :)
I was thinking same. Ive been practicing for 2 years and you can see how he moves his fingers. I still dont have those arpegios, piano, fortissimo or rubato style he has and capable perform.
Also, all pieces he plays, he plays like shit. Sorry, but it's true. After learning the notes of a piece, you have to actually start learning how to interpret it. This guy just gets to the learning notes phase.
"You can only learn piano from a young age" - Said wrong people edit: Now that I think of it, either this guy's a quick learner, or he's had prior experience...
true but learning at a young age also opens a lot of doors, I play 13 instruments because i started piano young. But your never too old to learn an instrument. Creativity is just that, creativity.
Zachary Hunt not necessarily. There’s pros and cons to both sides (starting at an early age, starting at a later) as long as you don’t have a packed schedule as an adult and can shuffle in 1-2 hours or so a day of practice. The harder part with starting as an adult IS that you have other things that may take priority over practice in your life. (Academics, work, etc.)
it is me, so what i do is make my daughter love piano.. pity me.. but its okay i don't want my daughter don't know piano, i can play guitar, my wife can play guitar but we decide my daughter need to learn piano. i just bought Yamaha Arius YDP-144 and hope this is good for newbie, by the way my daughter is 4 year hope she is not late to learn and we are Asia :) (hope the legend correct " there is Asian better than you")
@@ForeverFall Nahhh he didn't, I was joking. At the beginning of the video, he actually says that its "really similar" or smth like that, so he probably played an instrument similar to a piano before. So i think that this was his first time playing the piano
Even if this is fake, I watched this when I was 19 and it encouraged me to continue practicing. I’m now 24 and decent (definitely not playing advanced classical pieces anytime soon, but still I’ve gotten to the point where I can learn most songs I want in the specific genre I like). So I’ll say, either way, thank you ❤
It’s not fake he’s just skilled and always spends time playing the piano. I think sight reading could help if trying to accomplish this. Here is a formula to prove it ain’t fake: 700 hours / 12 months = 58.333333… hours a month 58.333333… / 4 weeks = 14.583333…. hours a week 14.583333… / 7 days = 2.0833333…. hours a day 2.0833333… is 125 minutes. 2 hours and 5 minutes exactly Since 700+ hours we can safely assume he spends 2+ hours in a day.
@@Dullification2+hours a day are still way too few hours for playing for playing fantasie impromtu so good. His whole posture and hand positioning is also great from the beginning. Additionally he also doesnt even ever have any stiffness in his fingers not even on the first day. Every person who played piano for a long time can easily tell he took piano lessons or before.
minzy he said “can” and not “learn” I learn to read notes too first day... I don’t think its possible to be able to master sight reading notes in one week
I have a suspicion this isn't the first instrument he's played. Would explain why theory and sight reading came so easy to him right away. The two hands thing is sus tho, but could be chalked up to the fact he had already been practicing for hours and that some people just do have a natural talent for picking up piano easier/faster. Or he's lying who knows lol.
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else is searching for how to play piano learn how to play piano better try Jadonite Piano Player Buddy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin got cool success with it.
I was starting to get discouraged while watching this, but then reading all the comments helped me realize that his progress rate is NOWHERE near normal. But then of course what do you do when you see a 3 year old playing Chopin? Some people just have in the DNA. I find joy and purpose in my playing, its not all that great, but practicing piano has been proven to increase intelligence and to help balance left and right brain hemispheres. Keep practicing! It benefits our mental health and creativity as well.
I listened to this back in 2018 and it was the first time I'd ever heard the maple leaf rag. It was so catchy it's what got me into piano. I bought my first electric, then an upright in 2019. It took an enormous amount of practice, but now I can play maple leaf, entertainer, pineapple, any of joplins popular pieces. This video really got me into learning piano, so thanks for that. I never thought I'd be so into ragtime lol
that was also arround the time when i started learning it... only got to play it fully and very well arround 2 months after tho :) not much practise! about to do 1 year since i got into piano and im no joke trying to lern moon light sonata third movement... ofcorse im god awfull
Base_77 i got the same progress on 2 weeks the. i stop playing it wasnt my piano, i tomo classes at school of piano and i finish faster than anyone at my level, u are no one to say those afirmattions, everyone got his lesrning time.
I’m calling this out. The guy already knows how to play the piano and made this 1 year progression look like he learned Fantasy impromptu within a year. I’ve been taking classical piano since age 7. Took me 8 months just to play Fantasy Impromptu at the age of 15. You need to build dexterity, muscle memory, and several other aspects to play this piece that you can’t learn by teaching yourself in 1 year.
I've been playing less than I year and I am working on fantasie impromptu. The hardest part of Chopin's Op 66. is the poly rhythm and even that isn't that hard. Many of his other etudes are much harder in terms of muscle memory and dexterity. People also learn at different speeds than others. Just because it took YOU that long doesn't mean others can't learn it faster.
@@phoenixx2560you’ve completely missed the point of the post; we’re trying to encourage new players to take their time so that they may learn properly, not put them down by providing personal anecdotes that make their progress seem less substantial. Truly, nobody on this planet gives a shit about how fast you progressed. Good on you for learning quickly, and fuck you for being a condescending asshole. Have a good one!
In Spain we say “VENGA HASTA LUEGO” and then skip to a real beginner video (I am having my First piano class in a few days after 39 years of waiting!!!!)
He's playing a new song each week and here I am taking one week for the intro, one week for the main part, one week for the end, one week for the crossing and another week for just practicing the whole piece. I like my version better.
@@konradmyon1777 Normally me too, but my comment was about the song mad world where the main part is easier than the intro Also I often lose the motivation. I also play saxophone and clarinet so I actually started playing the piano because I was too lazy to pack out my clarinet and the piano was just standing there, ready to play. But now I even lose the motivation with the piano. I started the intro of comptine dun autre ete (it's probably spelled wrong) one year ago and I still didn't learn more
@@inzwischen_inaktiv5078 Ill give you some perspective from a beginner (6 days as of now). I picked songs that I found emotional and powerful for me. I started learning movie songs that touched me as a kid, and some tunes from Ocarina of Time (Legend of Zelda). I have been happy with my progress and the way I will continue to motivate myself is to keep listening to music and to keep finding pieces that inspire me. I want to climb the ladder of emotional pieces until I feel good at piano. I like classical and will want to pursue more of it, but for now I am sticking with simpler things that are powerful to me. My advice, find music that inspires you, not just ones that sound good. A lot of classical music sounds good, but much of it doesn't inspire me like the songs I choose. That will come at a later time. I am self taught for now, and may invest in a teacher later to clean up some technique and get me on the straight and narrow. However, don't play a piece unless it means something to you. Eventually, you will find that every piece will emit an emotion in some way, at least for me. I have found that I appreciate the musicality of many more pieces now that I am starting to play. Thank you for reading this if you did. I just wanted to inspire you.
@@ethanperreault7470 Thank you for that comment. I've never seen it that way. Music doesn't often inspire me, it just sometimes triggers emotions. But because that doesn't happen often, it's something pretty special me. Maybe you're right and that inspiration that music can give someone is way more important.
Going from nothing to what’s regarded as one of the most difficult pieces of all time in a year is nearly impossible. The technique that you need to perform it is not something you learn in a year. It is something that takes many years for most people. Playing it with good musical expression is even more difficult, and not only requires years of piano practice, but also constant exposure to this kind of music. It is reasonable to take many more months to learn an intermediate piece for an intermediate piano player. This guy is a really good pianist but a bad liar.
Exactly! I mean playing Fur Elise in a month as a beginner? I have been playing piano for 1 year and after that amount of experience, I can now barely play Fur Elise.
Fantasie Impromptu is nowhere near one of the “hardest pieces”. Once you understand the polyrhythm it becomes easy. It’s one of chopins easiest pieces some people are so uneducated
@@Offic139 That is simply untrue. Chopin has many, many pieces that are far less demanding than Fantaisie Impromptu. All but possibly one of the Nocturnes for starters. Is Fantaisie Impromptu one of the hardest pieces ever? Of course not. However, it is a legitimately advanced piece that requires technique. It certainly isn't something that a beginner can play in a year. A very, very capable beginner might get there in five. The original poster might have been incorrect about the piece being one of the hardest pieces ever but essentially everything else that she said is correct.
@@garethharrison5797 it doesn’t take as long as you said and once your understand the polyrhythm its not that hard. And when I said one of chopins easiest pieces I didn’t mean it’s as easy as the waltzes just out of his other sets of pieces like the ballades, sonatas or concertos it is one of the easiest
@@garethharrison5797 also it won’t always take 5 years. I played a few other instruments before the piano and practice 4 to 5 hours a day so it took a lot less time this person in the video probably does the same I don’t see how no one believes him
I think I understand why he says he's a beginner. I grew up with a piano in my house and can do a basic C scale, and play chords. I can play a basic version of Fur Elise and 'A Thousand Miles' by Vanessa Carlton because we were all obsessed with that song in 2003 and it looks impressive. But I can't read music. And around 'real' pianists I feel like a complete beginner because there is SO much more to the piano than knowing where middle C is and being able to play with both hands. Everyone's like 'he's not a beginner' but it's really the huge scope of piano playing that makes even people who are familiar with piano feel like total newbs.
I understand. I can play moderately difficult piano pieces (first song I ever learned to play was turkish March) but only through memorization and incorrect technique. So when people ask if I play piano, I always hesitate. I don't feel worthy to say I do :/ but I'm trying to learn more
Even though I get that you can learn songs before actually taking a piano lesson but after like 1-2 years of piano I actually started getting into both hands. But I do understand the feeling of being left out because even though I'm pretty good at piano my 4 years is nothing compared to the 7-9 years that my classmates have put in to the hobby. I'm in seventh grade and started in second grade a pretty good age to start and even though this is just turning out to be a rant I totally feel like I will never be as good at piano as anyone I'll meet who's played piano that I know. Even though I know I'll get there someday I still feel like I'm left out my classmates are over here playing starry night and I'm practicing beginners Disney songs. So even though I have experience I can sympathize with what you are saying.
The best motivational video I've seen. I quit when I was eight, but am starting right now. I don't understand why people are so competitive and discouraged by other people's progress. Piano isn't a competition for most of us. Don't compare and be so negative, but enjoy your own process. After 5 months of practicing for half an hour each day, I can tell that this isn't out of reach if you are dexterous and can devote hours per day as he did.
Personally, I played guitar 2 years before piano so when I first started it was really easy to use both hands at the same time since I predominately used fingerstyle picking. my teacher actually thought I was lying because he would show me how to play chords and I would just do it with no problem
Andrea Feng I fear it might have to opposite effect though when people who are motivated by him buy a piano and find they are progressing at a much more slower (and frankly more realistic) speed and give up. Playing the piano is difficult, I think he’s giving the wrong impression
Why do you think that before I saw this vid I thought my progress was slow but after watching him I felt better about myself because I'm improving faster than him
@@agl4044 did you have perfect posture, playing a whole song, with both hands an proper technique an sight reading sheet music an knowing pedal footwork in your first week? Because he was doing that in his first 4 days lol. Nothing about that is beginner.
@@crowing3886 I didn't use pedals until like 2 months because it was broken in the first piano I used to play on, I still can't read sheets but I'm planning on learning them, idk if I had a good posture but I was able to play with both hands since day one, and my progress was kinda similar to his, maybe a bit faster(It's been 9 months now since I started)
No joke, I’ve been taking lessons for four months and I just finally got to the point where I can play jingle bells. This dude has been either playing piano his entire life ooooor, he’s made it his full time job to learn piano.
Day 1: After unpacking the piano, he can play the C scale with correct fingering. I'm guessing he's had some experience / lessons earlier on in life. But this is not to take away from the possible achievement of lots of practice and patience.
He was following piano lessons online, and it appears he was wise enough not to do anything that he didn't have instruction for. He didn't even learn to read music until later in the year.
@@capsulamental Of course we have no idea how many "takes" were needed for each performance and he would reject any that had serious flaws, but it's very difficult to assemble a single-camera video from multiple clips without leaving a visible tell-tale jump. In contrast, it's not difficult to do seamless audio editing of piano music; I used to do music editing (audio only) for figure skaters, and piano performances were always very easy to cut/splice. But there are plenty of minor "mistakes" in these videos, if you are familiar enough with the pieces to notice them. On the other hand, there is also the question of how well he plays during recording, versus no recording. If I'm recording my own piano piece, having the recorder running always results in many more mistakes - and some strange ones which I never make otherwise. Recording can be very stressful, but it's an important "reality check" for any musician.
I'm on my 3rd day of piano and I learned the c scale with proper fingering and using the tuck and all on the first day as well as the g scale, inversions, triad shapes, what the 1st 3rd 4th means when referenced and more. Watched maybe an hour and half of RUclips. I do play guitar so perhaps he did as well before starting?
I know this is probably just a marketing tactic, since i also thought about this and quite frankly it worked, i atleast got 2k subs in just a span of 2 months and yes, i started from 0..i know Dream gets around a million per month but we don't talk about that.
There are lots of songs to inspire you in piano playing but many are hard for someone as a beginners but i think, never give up! Everyone’s journey is different, it is important that you grow everyday in your playing and play the songs you love.
It really depends on how much time you invest to your instrument. More time = more practice. More practice = more muscle memory and coordination for both of your hands. I'm guessing he put a LOT of time to that fur elise and I'm assuming that he's way of learning a new song is by youtube or synthesia videos. If that's the case then 3 weeks or less is more than enough time to memorize and play the piece.
For you to play like that on day 1, the fluidity of your fingers, the relaxation of your wrist and arms, your posture. Thank you for the false hope Mr First Day
As someone who took piano lessons, there is no freakin' way this is "normal" progress. It's either fake or he's a prodigy. You need to multiply his timeline by 10 for a normal person lol
@@robertopinna220 It would be extremely impressive to be at that level in even 3 to 5 years. I'm familiar with regular progression - typically 10 years to get to teaching level. He plays at that level.
@@NorCalDudeBJJ I agree it would be impressive, but not impossible, if talented and practice a lot. In one year tho I think it is pretty impossible especially if you start from zero. Btw i don't think he is at teaching level, by what you see in this video... I would say not even close
@@NorCalDudeBJJ I feel like it depends how much you're willing to practice. If you follow the standard protocol of 20-60 min of dedicated practice per day, then this might take up to 10 years... But some people are willing to practice for 3-5 hours per day, or even more.
Congratulations on your progress!!! The most impressive thing to me isn't your playing, it's the dedication to practice 2-3 hours daily for an entire year while continually mastering more challenging material. I'm only five months into learning the piano and have made pretty good progress with only a few hours each week. With almost a million views and five thousand comments, I'll bet you're still the only person here who's actually spent several hundred hours building a new lifelong skill over the past year. Why would anyone expect Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star proficiency as a reward for that much effort and practice?
👍👍keep up the good work. It is inspiring to watch, you do have good memory and hands and fingers coordination. With hard work .. everything is possible. Thank you for posting
i remember watching this when i got my first ever piano and seriously felt so inspired, sadly i can’t play as much because of college but i’m getting a new piano soon and will try to play it more often!
Yeah you could tell he knew his way around a keyboard even on "Day 1". I'm sure his improvement was genuine but I'm pretty sure he's played the piano at some point in early childhood.
I played the piano when I was little (10 to 11 years old) for about 1 year and a half. Now, 10 years later I started to play again out of boredom, but the first thing I played was nocturne op9 n2 and it took me like 2 weeks. Even I was shocked by how much early training can help as if i never stopped playing.
I don’t know you. But I have to say this...I’ve played guitar for over 20 years. I decided to learn to play piano, and after 1 year of practicing piano...I’m still practicing. Honestly this is very difficult to believe.
He gave up reading sheet music at the firsg month... He just memorizes the pieces through online vids.. Which is easier than learning through sheet music and being classically trained
@@HarumiSCANimE Everything is BS,you cant even know where the notes are,no matter how well you can listen and memorized a song. Hes been playing for a least 5 years.
I have been playing rock n roll guitar for 30 years and I am 53 years old. Today I decided to spend the last years of my life studying classical piano. Like learning the guitar nothing but death will stop me. I taught myself guitar but I will have professional instruction for piano. I'll succeed. And you will too if you haven't already.

From a very young age loved to learn piano and I quit many times now as an Adult again it interested me and while I was browsing the net came across this wonderful piano e-learning site and I am learning from the comfort of my home,you can also try...rb.gy/lcbtpy
This is one person. Not exactly a controlled experiment with lots of people for a year to compare/contrast. Gonna go out on a limb and say I believe him. He’s possibly just very talented and has an excellent practice routine. And he’s serious about playing. Bravo. And good for you. I wish my students would be more like you.
What a gift you have. Definitely not typical progress in my experience, but wow - you deserve to enjoy every note and the fabulous progress you've made. How neat to find out in just 1 year's time that you were MEANT to be a pianist!
@@StratifyTradingOfficial What I meant was that his fingered played beautifully and had correct positioning. When I was a beginner, my fingers couldn't adapt well and move so skillfully, it just kept floating above the keyboard. Just my opinion anyway. Sorry for bad English :))
Sophie Nguyễn you may be right but let me tell you something , I learned piano when I was a kid and quit playing for years until 20 then I started playing again but I found out that I forgot all about piano except the way I set and how the fingers work ,I’m just saying that it’s probably what happened to him too
So inspiring. They say children learn faster than adults. Maybe in most situations... but.. when you have a passionate, driven adult with the determination, desire and WILL to achieve something...My god... they are a force to be reckoned with. Anything is possible. Bravo sir!
Chopin’s Fantasy Impromptu is beyond grade 8 and is often played for the performance diploma at ABRSM, for most pianists this would be 10 years with a brilliant teacher. To learn this in one years playing would require a prodigious talent that I certainly to not possess.
Lol yeah. I have had about 6-7 years of piano lessons (10 total) and I have JUST started learning this piece there is no way he could have learned Fantaisie (as well as it was played) in 3 months.
I beg to differ. I was 6 when I jumped on the organ for the 1st time and played it with both hands..AND foot (on the bass pedals) after hearing and watching my Aunties with their organ tutor for weeks. I was 6...and playing songs I hear by ear (did not read any music or took lessons).
@Nick does Quad drummingNew headline : man cant face that an adult can master basic motor skills in a day (while a child could do that in hours) deludes himself into a grand conspiracy theory to make his lazy ass feel better. The sad story of Nick the bitter dudebro
Brandon: After 1 year, I can play Fantasie Impomprtu Simply piano ads: Day 1: Twinkle twinkle little star, day 4: Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 playing backwards while blindfold while playing Moonlight Sonata 3rd mvt with your feet.
That' incredible. Now clean your room. Seriously, that's amazing progress and dedication. What were your initial goals and how did you go about teaching yourself? I am a 58 year old drummer who decided last week to start learning piano. I'm very excited about doing this.
Him after 3 weeks: *plays fur elise flawlessly* Me after 5 years: *can only play the first 7 notes* Thanks for all the likes :) Guys I know he put a lot of time into piano and that's why he is really good. This is just a joke.
I learned the whole song in 3 and a half but that’s after putting all of my attention on the song for only about an hour a day so I think it is reasonable
I really don't understand why so many people say he was trained before and is lying... Because he played the C major scale from day 1 with correct fingering? That's probably the first thing most method books or most youtube videos meant for beginners would teach you ...I am pretty sure anyone could learn that in about 30mins - 1h. Because he is playing while not looking at the sheet music? That's a common thing for beginners, because they wouldn't be able to sight read that fast so they mostly play from memory...I also do this, it would be weird to just move my sheet music somewhere else just because I am not looking at it the moment I am recording something. You can definitely see from his first videos that he was a beginner. The last ones? Definitely a lot of hard work and also some talent above the average I would say. There are a few people who have this gift and probably he's just one of them so no one should be hating on him for this. He also did say he practices for about 3 hours a day after all. Also, there were people saying he is discouraging other beginners with his fast progress. I wouldn't really say that. If anyone wants to start learning the piano and they like it enough, they shouldn't really care about what others are doing. I am a beginner myself and I've seen a lot of adult beginners progressing way faster than I did. Did it discourage me? No. I simply understood that maybe I wasn't putting enough effort in it.
Are you Romanian too? :))) I've been playing the piano for about 3 years now and I wasn't as good as him at 1 year. (I'm 14) I'm learning Claire de Lune now and this actually made me want to play the piano more. I don't see how some might get offended by this video. 😂 I loved it!💙
Hey, yes, I am Romanian :D. And that's great, his video is indeed motivational, but some people were probably just jealous and mean. Good luck with your practice
I can't even imagine, how many people gave up on piano because of comparing own real little tiny step-by step progress with this absolute liar. Guys, piano takes time, so just keep practicing and in several years you'll be proud of yourself.
No, bro. I can only read C, D, E, F and G notes and I still get confused. I'm dumb asf plus I don't even have piano I'm just using piano app (it's unreliable because the keys I can play is limited)
@@floorcat7985 dude , from total beginner to fantasie impromptu is pretty much impossible unless all you do for a whole year is practice piano and are a prodigy because it is at least a grade 8 piece and I really don’t think it’s possible to get to grade 8 in a year from total beginner
I can’t believe people would give up just because they saw a video of someone better than them, real or not. If their passion for music is that pathetic, then it doesn’t even matter.
Fantaisie-Impromptu can be seen as the combination of Elegance and Virtuosity, being such an high level and difficult piece since it requires years and years of practicing all the piano different techniques, so, if you're going to tell me that in 1 year, starting almost from 0, you achieved to play fluently this piece, well, i'm not trusting it.
I could play Fantasie Impromptu at 1 year practicing the first page, almost as well as this guy at 1 year. It's not impossible. He definitely had some training before but to play Fantasie Impromptu in only 1 year is pretty doable.
Well I can kinda already play the first bit of it at 1 month into piano as well. It's actually not too hard atleast compared to chopin's other pieces. I have the progress video on my channel.
Fantaisie Impromptu is on the easier end of the diploma level piano repertoire. It is significantly harder than anything on the grade 8 syllabus. If you've played that piece well after such a short time you just might be the most talented person that ever sat at a piano. It takes ordinary people years to get to that level - at least eight in most cases.
I have been a professional teacher/pianist my whole life and while I totally believe this guy and totally admire his hard work and dedication there is also know doubt he is a very gifted and unusual person. Even 4-5 yrs for what he has done would be highly unusual. But inspiring to see what can happen! There is also a lot of things that simply can't be taught such as musical sensitivity which he also seems to have a natural affinity for. Just my thoughts along with everyone else!
A lot depends on how much each song he's actually learning there too. That Turkish March at 10:15 I can play but have no training and it took just a week or so to get down. One mistake throws me completely off though because I'm not trained or experienced enough. But it's fairly trivial to learn to play chunks of songs at a time like that. I couldn't pick up a sheet of music and play it, like at all though. He probably started just like that and then pushed himself harder and harder to get more and more of each song down.... but I imagine it would take years for him his feet to a point where he could read sheet music and play like this instead of from memory. Playing from memory and by ear is the easy way really...
Gary.. I have a similar background.. this guy has a natural sense of musicality that is not so common. That said, you are totally correct.. its possible with hard work and good guidance. Some things stand out about this guy.. The good: he has great hand position and relaxed technique when playing. Seems like he has had some training before starting this.. Not a lot mind you.. but some. The not so good: His use of the pedals its still not quite there, and his ornamentation technique is still lacking (indicating that he is probably not a fake).. but that said.. what he DOES do right after even two years is QUITE astonishing. Well directed time spent practicing has definitely payed off for him big time. My point here is not to be critical.. but rather to describe why is really a beginner, and highlight just how much amazing progress he has made.
I have to tell you, I am most impressed with this video. My mother (now deceased) was a concert level pianist. She didn't pursue a career due to her mother's poor health and settled with being a homemaker and teaching lessons on the side. We did have a lovely Baldwin grand in our home and I would spend hours watching her play. When you started playing the Mozart and Chopin pieces, especially Sonata in C major and Fantaisie, it immediately brought a warm feeling to my heart and I could see my mom sitting at the piano, feet working the pedals, playing those pieces. I've had a keyboard for a few yrs now and recently have found a renewed drive to pick it up again. This inspires me even more. Thank you and I hope you continue to find joy in playing music.
don't give up. You'll get better, it takes more than year. I know how hard social media can be and the expectations you probably had for yourself after 1 year of progress.
I started to play piano when i was 4 years old. Back then i loved to play piano and i practiced everyday. I became really good at it. But when i turned 9 years old i lost the interest and didn't touch a piano until 2 month ago. I am now 13 years old but eventually i had forgotten a lot. I were not even able to play fur elise anymore. But then i downloaded Simply Piano...... just kidding. No i began to learn to read sheets again. And it took a couple of weeks. After the first month i was able to play fur elise again and Moonlight Sonata 1st movement. But then i got better and better and today i can play Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement with no problems. Im currently working on a lot of songs and im really looking forward to learn a lot more. Just wanted to share this with you guys. Hope you all are good in the middle of this corona crisis!
In November 2021, I decided on a whim to learn how to play the piano. After a month of dedicated practice, I've almost mastered the 1st movement of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3. With a little more practice, I just know I can nail this bad boy!👍👏🥳
Last month, I finally decided to get a piano. I decided that I should stop idling my life away and do something productive. Lo and behold! After one month of practice, I have played Rachmaninoff's Second Piano concerto with my toes, blindfolded with the Berlin Phil. Feeling Blessed 🤩🤗🙏
He plays beautifully however the first day you got your piano, you did the scale with the correct finger placement, so that gave it away that you are definitely not a beginner.
It's just that viewers who aren't piano teachers don't comment because they don't know it's impossible (or at least incredible) to reach this level in one year
@@jeangoudot9772 I dunno, if you have talent and literally practice for 3 hours a day for an entire year you'd be shocked at the progress you can make. 3 hours a day is quite insanely dedicated when you think about it. That's a lot of time investment. Coupled with prior musical experience it doesn't seem that outlandish. An outlier? Sure. Impossible or ridiculous? Eh no.
@@Setixir Well I'm not a piano teacher so I only have my own experience to tell it's weird, and you may be right, but the first comment who says that "85% of the population is a piano teacher" according to the comment section is still highly stupid
I don't mean to show off but after two years of practice I can play twinkle twinkle little star with only two mistakes.

Un año es demasiado tiempo para aprender a tocar todas estas obras teniendo en cuenta que el piano es el instrumento más fácil de aprender a tocar. Creo que con un aprendizaje intensivo de 2 semanas ya se pueden tocar todas esas obras , con una sola mano y sobre todo con los ojos cerrados, porque cuando los abras te darás cuenta de que ha sido todo un sueño y que la realidad es otra muy distinta.
Das Klavier ist nicht das leichteste Instrument - ganz im Gegenteil. Am Klavier ist es leicht, einen Ton zu erzeugen, im Gegensatz zur Geige. Trotzdem gibt es kein Instrument (außer Orgel) indem Violin und Basschlüssel gleichzeitig gelesen werden!

Don't sell your piano just because of a RUclips video that is probably fake anyway :'( don't give up I believe in you! ❤ If you look more in the comments you can read that professional pianists say it is fake. Don't loose out on such a beautiful instrument and skill just because of a video :(
Also no one can learn Chopin in less than a year (unless you are a prodigy) otherwise it would be in grade 4 or less if it were that easy which of course it isn't. My dad can't even play Chopin smoothly after years of playing. Chopin is hard and takes years of practice until you can play it otherwise everyone would be playing it and being tought it.
howling
HAHAHAY
As a veteran pianist, this is my advice to anyone who wants to learn:
*You must have the ‘want’ and ‘drive’ to learn this instrument. It can be personal or completely beside reason, you have to have a strong argument as to why you want to learn and not because it just looks cool, cause if that’s the mindset, your going to crash hard and abandon it faster than a dad going to the store to buy milk! Have a purpose, just a warning….*
*Define the type of music you like and roll with it. It’s never a bad idea to go into classical works and learning about theory and applied music knowledge, but you want to learn so you can play the music you like, so go from there!*
*Play for the love and passion for music, not for spite or revenge. You’ll be introduced to a lot of others that will make you feel inadequate and intimidated. Every artist bring their style to the table, and that’s never something to be ashamed of. Be humble and build yourself and your repertoire.*
With this, you have a basic foundation for almost anything musical.
THANK YOU for your time to write this for the world to see!
Nice touch with the dad milk joke 😂
What about experimental music tho????
@@georgetanner9381gross
I can put this way simpler. You have to really like playing. If you enjoy playing, you're naturally gonna have the want and drive. If you don't like playing, you're not gonna have that.

I played fantasy impromptu in my final year of college after 13 years of the piano, meedless to say its hard.

I had piano lessons as a child and look at me now, I can't play with both hands at the same time
Chiffon LeChat no, it’s because he’s Asian that he probably was forced to go to piano class as a child.
DannyVlogz that’s actually true-
I have a sneaky suspicion you’ve never taken learning the piano seriously
Not necessarily. I grew up with a completely religious family that wouldn't even allow me near music let alone a piano but I'm at "week 2" in my progress now and can play what he plays, by week 3 I'll probably be able to play Fur Elise too. I just need to keep playing 4 hours a day if I want to keep up LOL. The first week I was obsessed and sometimes spent 10 hours in a single day until I got backpain and a sore butt. But I'm using SimplyPiano so idk how he could get so far so quickly unless he was paying for music lessons or using the same app. The point is fast progress doesn't mean necessarily that you had a head start as a kid because I'm a living proof of that since my childhood was nearly deprived of music completely. I just spent a lot of time practicing and having fun.
Hear me out when I say this: Upon analysing this video and his progress, I have come to the conclusion that this video is most likely a fake, and a misleading progress video. Here are the reasons for my conclusion.
1. Finger posture. If you take a look closely at his fingers as he just begins in first week, his fingers are curved. This is the ideal standard for any pianists. However, he is in his FIRST week. In the first week, you simply don't expect a beginner to have excellent finger posture (take a look at Day 4 for example). In the first few weeks of picking up a new instrument, a beginner would always try to experiment with how to play the instrument; for piano, the first few days of a beginner's journey is always to try and see how to play the piano; and for violin, the first few weeks for a beginner is always playing pizzicato on the violin, instead of jumping right to playing with a bow properly. Thus, his accurate finger posture is very unbelievable for a beginner in his first week.
2. Reading music: In Day 4 up to the end of the first month, he appears to be looking, and reading off a sheet of music. In his first month, he states in his description that he started off with: "Random beginner piano tutorials and books (stopped trying to read music and started to learn music through online tutorials)". However, if you take a look at his music stand, a sheet of music is always there, and he seems to be reading off it consistently. Furthermore, he has to have some prior knowledge as to how to read a sheet of music, as he's in fact playing two hands coordinated in sync with one another. Normally, as a beginner, when you have no knowledge as to how to read music, and "stopped trying to read music", you wouldn't have the skill to play two hands coordinated together. Even if a beginner knows how to read music, they would not be able to read and play two hands together at the same time, and normally starts off with one hand. Thus, the description of the video, and the actual content in the video is very conflicting to the viewer, making the video less credible.
3. Repertoire: Let's list some of the pieces he has learnt in his progress, and the difficulty level of each of the piece.
1. Fur Elise 2:11 (Week 3) Let's quote a professional with a doctorate in music composition and classical music as to the difficulty level of this piece. "The work in its original form is quite difficult, and the below link shows why. There are several challenging sections that are less familiar primarily because of the unpleasant habit of many publishers and editors to vandalise works of the great composers by removing the difficult parts and dumbing down what is left. As a result there are several spurious versions that could be reasonably performed by an accomplished Grade 3 (ABRSM) student.
The original version is around Grade 5 for ABRSM (the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music). In some syllabuses in the Americas it appears as Grade 7, presumably because their grading system is different or it is considered more difficult."
In his playing, there are no traces of the "several challenging sections that are less familiar". To check out those sections, you can refer to Steinway artist Lang Lang's performance of the same piece ruclips.net/video/s71I_EWJk7I/видео.html . From the above observation, I assume that he is around ABRSM Grade 3 Standard by Week 3. That's less than a month for you to play a Grade 3 Standard piece. This may not be the most accurate representation, but here is a music teacher's approximation of the time it takes for a beginner to pass each Grade.
"Beginner to Grade 1 - 23 months
Grade 1 to Grade 2 - 17 months
Grade 2 to Grade 3 - 13 months
Grade 3 to Grade 4 - 11 months
Grade 4 to Grade 5 - 15.5 months
Grade 5 to Grade 6 - 18 months
Grade 6 to Grade 7 - 13.5 months
Grade 7 to Grade 8 - 15 months"
To skip from beginner to play a Grade 3 Standard piece, including all the techniques (I believe I heard pedal sustaining the left hand as well?), in less than a month, is certainly a very impressive feat, so impressive it becomes quite questionable to the legitimacy of your progress.
Clair De Lune 5:06 (Month 5): Clair De Lune is largely regarded as a piece which takes around Grade 7 to play. According to a user on an ABRSM forum regarding the grade of Clair De Lune, he states that: "I don't think pieces like clair de lune can be classified into grades but I do feel that in order to play the piece perfectly you should be used to grade 7 standard atleast.” According to many other sources which you can conveniently search up by typing "Clair De Lune grade", they all agree that Clair De Lune requires about Grade 7 level to play it. Let's refer back to the figure approximated by the piano teacher.
"Beginner to Grade 1 - 23 months
Grade 1 to Grade 2 - 17 months
Grade 2 to Grade 3 - 13 months
Grade 3 to Grade 4 - 11 months
Grade 4 to Grade 5 - 15.5 months
Grade 5 to Grade 6 - 18 months
Grade 6 to Grade 7 - 13.5 months
Grade 7 to Grade 8 - 15 months"
From Beginner to Grade 7, you'll need about 23+17+11+13+15.5+18+13.5=111 months to reach Grade 7 standard. You played a Grade 7 Standard piece in 5 months! From this, I conclude that you must either be a piano prodigy, or you might have had prior piano training and is not a "true beginner" as to say.
In month 10, you played Chopin Nocturne in C# Minor (opus posth) 9:06 (Month 10). Similarly, that is also a Grade 7 Standard piece, so you can refer to my explanation above.
At the end of 1 year, you played Chopin - Fantaisie-Impromptu (op66 posth) 13:00 . In the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto)) piano syllabus, Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu is considered diploma-level. To reach a diploma level, you have already passed all levels from beginner to grade 8. No matter how many hours you have practised, 1 year is not enough. To build up a steady foundation to support you to your level of playing at the end of your progress video (which is very proficient, I must say), you will need a very long time to learn the proper and correct technique. I hear very clean pedal, crystal clear runs in the right hand, and smooth arpeggios in the left hand. These techniques all take a LOT of practise and steady foundation to gradually help and assist you to the level of playing you had in the end. Can I ask how long you have been sightreading fantaisie impromptu? If your video was true, you would have taken at most a year to sightread fantaisie impromptu, which is very unlikely as you mentioned earlier you didn't even know how to sightread sheet music. Furthermore, fantaisie impromptu is memorised at the end of a year! Memorising and reading a sheet of music is two different things; memorising simply needs more time to do so compared to reading off notes. Thus, I feel that your progress is most likely a fake, and a misleading progress video due to finger posture, reading of music and repertoire.
Reading your comments also gave me another perspective as to the impacts you have caused on the people watching your video. In one of your top comments, a person commented "This guy gave me the inspiration to sell my piano.", and another user mentioned "this video destroyed my self confidence but thanks to these comments it got revived". I sincerely believe that this video is a very misleading one, as it clearly has had negative effects on the self-esteem of the people watching your video. I hope you can understand where I am coming from, and thank you.
Jesus Christ your analysis is so long
I’ll copy and paste that so I don’t have to make my thesis
i am sort of a half ass piano “prodigy” myself, i used to have piano lessons in 2018 and the teacher who has played all her life said she has never seen such a quick learner. i got about halfway through the first lesson book, then quit. i still kept playing but couldn’t read sheet music very well. i have recently come back to it and have been going through it very fast. my father, who has played all his life, gave the skill to me through genes and such. i started learning piano via synthesia in 2017 and i learned the first part of für elise as my very first song, and then i started trying hungarian rhapsody no2, which was an obvious no go because i couldn’t get past 25-30 seconds of it. after that, i made a mash up of a few different songs for my 6th grade talent show consisting of Toccata and Fugue by bach, für elise, moonlight sonata first mov, and a little bit of hungarian rhapsody. after that, i heard of a song called “la campnella” and i was hooked. i was able to learn up until the first 42 seconds, and then i had to stop because i had never trained my fingers to be that fast before hand. awhile after that, i slowly stopped playing at all. about a year ago i started learning waltz no. 19 by watching synthesia videos. after a few weeks, i fully learnt it, but then stopped playing again. coming back to piano about a month ago, i completely relearned it and started learning other songs and self teaching myself to read sheet music. coming from where he is (but on a smaller and less skilled scale) my guess is that the only reason why he learned so fast is because of genes through his mother or father or other close relatives.
I agree with you. His fingers at the first week it's not beginner. It's too perfectly curve. I played fűr elise for my 2nd song with syntesia with the same chord of him. and it's unbelievable to make it like his perform just 2 weeks
Thank you for this reply. This video, in my opinion, does more harm than good for people who want to learn piano.
I started learning piano with 37. After 1,5 years of practice (with teacher 30 minutes a week and 30 minutes practice every day) I just learned playing "for Elise" and "river flows in you" 😅
700+ hours of playing. You only spend 30 minutes a week which equivalents to 36 hours of playing in 1.5 years. The difference is the guy spends too much time playing the piano and he’s really good at it too.
Formula for this:
30 minutes a week x 4 weeks = 120 minutes a month
120 m/m x 18 months = 2160 minutes
If converted it is only 36 hours of playing
We can now find the solution for how many times a week he spends on the piano.
700 hours a year in minutes = 42000 minutes a year
42000 minutes / 12 months = 3500 minutes a month
3500 minutes / 4 weeks = 875 minutes a week
875 minutes / 7 days = 125 minutes a day
Which means 2 hours a day!!!
This is really encouraging for me to keep playing the piano. I will now practice from 1 hour to 3 hour a day because of this. But I have yet to master sheet reading because I believe learning sight reading is an essential skill for this accomplishment, so it’s gonna take a bit longer. I’ll be satisfied if I atleast managed to master Clair De Lune in 1 year of practicing from now.
PS: I realized converting hours to minutes is kinda inaccurate so…
700 hours / 12 months = 58.333333… hours a month
58.333333… / 4 weeks = 14.583333…. hours a week
14.583333… / 7 days = 2.0833333…. hours a day
2.0833333… is 125 minutes.
2 hours and 5 minutes exactly
@@Dullification He wrote 30 minutes a week with a teacher and 30 minutes practice per day. That would be 4 hours per week, so 200 hours a year and 300 hours in 1,5 years. Still considerably less than 700+ hours obviously.
*To anyone feeling discouraged that they aren’t making this progress...*
He’d played A LOT before that first day. Guaranteed. I’ve been playing for 40+ years and I guarantee you that this is not ‘beginner’ progress. No way. Lots of give away clues... His whole action, posture, hand position etc scream many years of training. No one gets to here after just one year. Especially playing all those different pieces from memory.
Fantasie Impromptu after one year? 😂 Um, no.
Keep going. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad. The piano is a lovely thing to play and endlessly satisfying...just *never ever compare yourself to anyone* on a RUclips video! The same goes for any instrument. Just enjoy yourself and have fun.
Good luck :)
The internet has no rules or ethics. Even I (and I know nothing) could tell he is lying.
Helen Townsend I completely agree... I’ve been playing for 11 years and saw the same stuff
I was thinking same. Ive been practicing for 2 years and you can see how he moves his fingers. I still dont have those arpegios, piano, fortissimo or rubato style he has and capable perform.
Also, all pieces he plays, he plays like shit. Sorry, but it's true. After learning the notes of a piece, you have to actually start learning how to interpret it. This guy just gets to the learning notes phase.
Hey, I want to learn the piano at home. Is that possible? Like, for free?
"You can only learn piano from a young age" - Said wrong people
edit: Now that I think of it, either this guy's a quick learner, or he's had prior experience...
true but learning at a young age also opens a lot of doors, I play 13 instruments because i started piano young. But your never too old to learn an instrument. Creativity is just that, creativity.
You can learn at any age, it's just more difficult if you're older.
Zachary Hunt not necessarily. There’s pros and cons to both sides (starting at an early age, starting at a later) as long as you don’t have a packed schedule as an adult and can shuffle in 1-2 hours or so a day of practice. The harder part with starting as an adult IS that you have other things that may take priority over practice in your life. (Academics, work, etc.)
DBD P4nda Which is why it’s more difficult. When you’re young you have a lot of free time.
it is me, so what i do is make my daughter love piano.. pity me.. but its okay i don't want my daughter don't know piano, i can play guitar, my wife can play guitar but we decide my daughter need to learn piano. i just bought Yamaha Arius YDP-144 and hope this is good for newbie, by the way my daughter is 4 year hope she is not late to learn and we are Asia :) (hope the legend correct " there is Asian better than you")
Brandon: "Im a beginner guys!"
Also Brandon: "But I've been practicing for 4 years before I was a beginner."
Did he actually say that, or are you supposing that's what he did?
@@ForeverFall Nahhh he didn't, I was joking. At the beginning of the video, he actually says that its "really similar" or smth like that, so he probably played an instrument similar to a piano before. So i think that this was his first time playing the piano
Abcdefg Hijklmnop AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂
*Brandon starts playing despacito*
Ha ha 😀😀
Even if this is fake, I watched this when I was 19 and it encouraged me to continue practicing. I’m now 24 and decent (definitely not playing advanced classical pieces anytime soon, but still I’ve gotten to the point where I can learn most songs I want in the specific genre I like). So I’ll say, either way, thank you ❤
It doesn't have to be fake some people have good coordination
Just play basketball for a few years and you'll understand
It’s not fake he’s just skilled and always spends time playing the piano.
I think sight reading could help if trying to accomplish this. Here is a formula to prove it ain’t fake:
700 hours / 12 months = 58.333333… hours a month
58.333333… / 4 weeks = 14.583333…. hours a week
14.583333… / 7 days = 2.0833333…. hours a day
2.0833333… is 125 minutes.
2 hours and 5 minutes exactly
Since 700+ hours we can safely assume he spends 2+ hours in a day.
@@Dullification2+hours a day are still way too few hours for playing for playing fantasie impromtu so good. His whole posture and hand positioning is also great from the beginning. Additionally he also doesnt even ever have any stiffness in his fingers not even on the first day. Every person who played piano for a long time can easily tell he took piano lessons or before.
1st Day - plays with both hands
4th Day - can read notes
minzy he said “can” and not “learn”
I learn to read notes too first day...
I don’t think its possible to be able to master sight reading notes in one week
I have a suspicion this isn't the first instrument he's played. Would explain why theory and sight reading came so easy to him right away. The two hands thing is sus tho, but could be chalked up to the fact he had already been practicing for hours and that some people just do have a natural talent for picking up piano easier/faster. Or he's lying who knows lol.

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else is searching for how to play piano learn how to play piano better try Jadonite Piano Player Buddy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin got cool success with it.
I was starting to get discouraged while watching this, but then reading all the comments helped me realize that his progress rate is NOWHERE near normal. But then of course what do you do when you see a 3 year old playing Chopin? Some people just have in the DNA. I find joy and purpose in my playing, its not all that great, but practicing piano has been proven to increase intelligence and to help balance left and right brain hemispheres. Keep practicing! It benefits our mental health and creativity as well.

I’ve been taking classical piano since age 7. Took me 8 months just to play Fantasy Impromptu at the age of 15.
You need to build dexterity, muscle memory, and several other aspects to play this piece that you can’t learn by teaching yourself in 1 year.
I’m 16, and want to play. Is it too late to be able to reach such a level and still compete in competitions?
@@ellaminnich894 why competitions so badly? imo start the piano if you want to learn it for yourself
If you really want it and God gives you the talent, nothing is impossible.
I've been playing less than I year and I am working on fantasie impromptu. The hardest part of Chopin's Op 66. is the poly rhythm and even that isn't that hard. Many of his other etudes are much harder in terms of muscle memory and dexterity. People also learn at different speeds than others. Just because it took YOU that long doesn't mean others can't learn it faster.
@@phoenixx2560you’ve completely missed the point of the post; we’re trying to encourage new players to take their time so that they may learn properly, not put them down by providing personal anecdotes that make their progress seem less substantial.

Do you just need ONE week for the main part? I often need ONE MONTH or more😂
@@konradmyon1777 Normally me too, but my comment was about the song mad world where the main part is easier than the intro
Also I often lose the motivation. I also play saxophone and clarinet so I actually started playing the piano because I was too lazy to pack out my clarinet and the piano was just standing there, ready to play. But now I even lose the motivation with the piano. I started the intro of comptine dun autre ete (it's probably spelled wrong) one year ago and I still didn't learn more
@@inzwischen_inaktiv5078 Ill give you some perspective from a beginner (6 days as of now). I picked songs that I found emotional and powerful for me. I started learning movie songs that touched me as a kid, and some tunes from Ocarina of Time (Legend of Zelda). I have been happy with my progress and the way I will continue to motivate myself is to keep listening to music and to keep finding pieces that inspire me. I want to climb the ladder of emotional pieces until I feel good at piano. I like classical and will want to pursue more of it, but for now I am sticking with simpler things that are powerful to me.
My advice, find music that inspires you, not just ones that sound good. A lot of classical music sounds good, but much of it doesn't inspire me like the songs I choose. That will come at a later time. I am self taught for now, and may invest in a teacher later to clean up some technique and get me on the straight and narrow. However, don't play a piece unless it means something to you. Eventually, you will find that every piece will emit an emotion in some way, at least for me. I have found that I appreciate the musicality of many more pieces now that I am starting to play.
Thank you for reading this if you did. I just wanted to inspire you.
@@ethanperreault7470 Thank you for that comment. I've never seen it that way. Music doesn't often inspire me, it just sometimes triggers emotions. But because that doesn't happen often, it's something pretty special me. Maybe you're right and that inspiration that music can give someone is way more important.
Going from nothing to what’s regarded as one of the most difficult pieces of all time in a year is nearly impossible.
The technique that you need to perform it is not something you learn in a year. It is something that takes many years for most people.
Playing it with good musical expression is even more difficult, and not only requires years of piano practice, but also constant exposure to this kind of music.
It is reasonable to take many more months to learn an intermediate piece for an intermediate piano player.
This guy is a really good pianist but a bad liar.
Exactly! I mean playing Fur Elise in a month as a beginner? I have been playing piano for 1 year and after that amount of experience, I can now barely play Fur Elise.
Fantasie Impromptu is nowhere near one of the “hardest pieces”. Once you understand the polyrhythm it becomes easy. It’s one of chopins easiest pieces some people are so uneducated
@@Offic139 That is simply untrue. Chopin has many, many pieces that are far less demanding than Fantaisie Impromptu. All but possibly one of the Nocturnes for starters. Is Fantaisie Impromptu one of the hardest pieces ever? Of course not. However, it is a legitimately advanced piece that requires technique. It certainly isn't something that a beginner can play in a year. A very, very capable beginner might get there in five. The original poster might have been incorrect about the piece being one of the hardest pieces ever but essentially everything else that she said is correct.
@@garethharrison5797 it doesn’t take as long as you said and once your understand the polyrhythm its not that hard.

@@wtfdoesthatmean2876 Damn forgot about that.
Sebastian-Benedict Flore I can hear lingling laugh
I think I understand why he says he's a beginner. I grew up with a piano in my house and can do a basic C scale, and play chords. I can play a basic version of Fur Elise and 'A Thousand Miles' by Vanessa Carlton because we were all obsessed with that song in 2003 and it looks impressive. But I can't read music. And around 'real' pianists I feel like a complete beginner because there is SO much more to the piano than knowing where middle C is and being able to play with both hands. Everyone's like 'he's not a beginner' but it's really the huge scope of piano playing that makes even people who are familiar with piano feel like total newbs.
I understand. I can play moderately difficult piano pieces (first song I ever learned to play was turkish March) but only through memorization and incorrect technique. So when people ask if I play piano, I always hesitate. I don't feel worthy to say I do :/ but I'm trying to learn more
Even though I get that you can learn songs before actually taking a piano lesson but after like 1-2 years of piano I actually started getting into both hands. But I do understand the feeling of being left out because even though I'm pretty good at piano my 4 years is nothing compared to the 7-9 years that my classmates have put in to the hobby. I'm in seventh grade and started in second grade a pretty good age to start and even though this is just turning out to be a rant I totally feel like I will never be as good at piano as anyone I'll meet who's played piano that I know. Even though I know I'll get there someday I still feel like I'm left out my classmates are over here playing starry night and I'm practicing beginners Disney songs. So even though I have experience I can sympathize with what you are saying.

it's easier to not read the sheets when you start piano -_- stop being jealous xD
He learned more in a week than I learned in a year
burnoutwheeler sameeee
it’s fake
Agree
Maybe your not dedicated enough 🤷♂️
Personally, I played guitar 2 years before piano so when I first started it was really easy to use both hands at the same time since I predominately used fingerstyle picking. my teacher actually thought I was lying because he would show me how to play chords and I would just do it with no problem
I slightly suspect that he's a pro acting like beginner in order to motivate others to start learning instruments
Andrea Feng I fear it might have to opposite effect though when people who are motivated by him buy a piano and find they are progressing at a much more slower (and frankly more realistic) speed and give up. Playing the piano is difficult, I think he’s giving the wrong impression
That was my first thought.....those earlier videos are faked.
Why do you think that before I saw this vid I thought my progress was slow but after watching him I felt better about myself because I'm improving faster than him
@@agl4044 did you have perfect posture, playing a whole song, with both hands an proper technique an sight reading sheet music an knowing pedal footwork in your first week?
Because he was doing that in his first 4 days lol. Nothing about that is beginner.
@@crowing3886 I didn't use pedals until like 2 months because it was broken in the first piano I used to play on, I still can't read sheets but I'm planning on learning them, idk if I had a good posture but I was able to play with both hands since day one, and my progress was kinda similar to his, maybe a bit faster(It's been 9 months now since I started)
No joke, I’ve been taking lessons for four months and I just finally got to the point where I can play jingle bells.
This dude has been either playing piano his entire life ooooor, he’s made it his full time job to learn piano.
It's clear, that he wasn't a complete beginner at the beginning, but great video and progress anyway!
Hard work is hard that’s why it’s called hard work
yeah he can reproduce very basic melodies he copied from a youtube video. Definitely just a step away from Fantaisie Impromptu
uhh no. almost everybody can recreate a song they see on youtube, that doesnt make them a good piano player. he was a beginner.
@@berniece2259 NO
His co-ordination and understanding wasn't that of a beginner.
Day 1: After unpacking the piano, he can play the C scale with correct fingering. I'm guessing he's had some experience / lessons earlier on in life. But this is not to take away from the possible achievement of lots of practice and patience.
He was following piano lessons online, and it appears he was wise enough not to do anything that he didn't have instruction for. He didn't even learn to read music until later in the year.
He probably cut the parts he made mistakes
@@capsulamental
Of course we have no idea how many "takes" were needed for each performance and he would reject any that had serious flaws, but it's very difficult to assemble a single-camera video from multiple clips without leaving a visible tell-tale jump. In contrast, it's not difficult to do seamless audio editing of piano music; I used to do music editing (audio only) for figure skaters, and piano performances were always very easy to cut/splice.
But there are plenty of minor "mistakes" in these videos, if you are familiar enough with the pieces to notice them. On the other hand, there is also the question of how well he plays during recording, versus no recording. If I'm recording my own piano piece, having the recorder running always results in many more mistakes - and some strange ones which I never make otherwise. Recording can be very stressful, but it's an important "reality check" for any musician.
I taught that scale to a friend in 10 mnts
I'm on my 3rd day of piano and I learned the c scale with proper fingering and using the tuck and all on the first day as well as the g scale, inversions, triad shapes, what the 1st 3rd 4th means when referenced and more. Watched maybe an hour and half of RUclips. I do play guitar so perhaps he did as well before starting?
This is expert level...
No, we will not subscribe on your channel.
I know this is probably just a marketing tactic, since i also thought about this and quite frankly it worked, i atleast got 2k subs in just a span of 2 months and yes, i started from 0..i know Dream gets around a million per month but we don't talk about that.
@@MasMaszu2 what
@@MasMaszu2 Are you okay ?
Is it just me or do I always get this guy in anything that I watch
There are lots of songs to inspire you in piano playing but many are hard for someone as a beginners but i think, never give up! Everyone’s journey is different, it is important that you grow everyday in your playing and play the songs you love.
As someone who has been playing piano for 5 years, this makes me feel like a failure
Ikr, his progress is hardly believable...
that's the reason you shouldn't compare yourself to a fucking youtube video...
IKR! i’ve been playing piano for 1 year, and i haven’t even learned Fur Elise yet, HE LEARNED THAT HIS 2ND WEEK TF
Yes think they meant moonlight sonata
As someone who has been playing piano for 10 years ----> felt that :(((
This guy has no idea how a beginner looks like
Fur Elise after 3 weeks? You NEVER played piano before? How often were you practicing? Pardon my skepticism but this seems slightly suspicious.
Not trying to show off, but I'm still a beginner and I can say that Fur Elise is actually easy if you will just love to learn how to play it! 😊
It really depends on how much time you invest to your instrument. More time = more practice.
More practice = more muscle memory and coordination for both of your hands. I'm guessing he put a LOT of time to that fur elise and I'm assuming that he's way of learning a new song is by youtube or synthesia videos. If that's the case then 3 weeks or less is more than enough time to memorize and play the piece.
@@zearheanpacana3107 yh it was my 1st song learned and I found it easy
Für Elise it's very Easy
Well if he practiced over 700 hours for 365 days that approximately two hours a day
For you to play like that on day 1, the fluidity of your fingers, the relaxation of your wrist and arms, your posture. Thank you for the false hope Mr First Day
As someone who took piano lessons, there is no freakin' way this is "normal" progress. It's either fake or he's a prodigy. You need to multiply his timeline by 10 for a normal person lol
Maybe not 10 but I would say 3 to 5 years at least... Ps i teach piano and... IMHO to achieve that in one year it seems pretty tight
@@robertopinna220 It would be extremely impressive to be at that level in even 3 to 5 years. I'm familiar with regular progression - typically 10 years to get to teaching level. He plays at that level.
@@NorCalDudeBJJ I agree it would be impressive, but not impossible, if talented and practice a lot. In one year tho I think it is pretty impossible especially if you start from zero. Btw i don't think he is at teaching level, by what you see in this video... I would say not even close
@@robertopinna220 Of course not impossible, because we all know there are prodigies. Mozart wrote music at age 5 after all ;-)
@@NorCalDudeBJJ I feel like it depends how much you're willing to practice. If you follow the standard protocol of 20-60 min of dedicated practice per day, then this might take up to 10 years... But some people are willing to practice for 3-5 hours per day, or even more.
everyone talkin bout his piano progress but no ones gonna talk about where tf he got all these different pianos??
there is only one explanation: the dude is rich
I know man, he just decided to pick up a piano... I wish I could do that too 😣

@@farajacod3717 Where do you live? im currently trying to get rid of a beautiful piano
@@moellerlaessoee7271 in Kenya
Congratulations on your progress!!! The most impressive thing to me isn't your playing, it's the dedication to practice 2-3 hours daily for an entire year while continually mastering more challenging material. I'm only five months into learning the piano and have made pretty good progress with only a few hours each week. With almost a million views and five thousand comments, I'll bet you're still the only person here who's actually spent several hundred hours building a new lifelong skill over the past year. Why would anyone expect Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star proficiency as a reward for that much effort and practice?
👍👍keep up the good work. It is inspiring to watch, you do have good memory and hands and fingers coordination. With hard work .. everything is possible. Thank you for posting
i remember watching this when i got my first ever piano and seriously felt so inspired, sadly i can’t play as much because of college but i’m getting a new piano soon and will try to play it more often!
Were you making progress at that time you bought your first ever piano? I think i won't be able to play as much as well. :(
Yeah you could tell he knew his way around a keyboard even on "Day 1". I'm sure his improvement was genuine but I'm pretty sure he's played the piano at some point in early childhood.
I played the piano when I was little (10 to 11 years old) for about 1 year and a half. Now, 10 years later I started to play again out of boredom, but the first thing I played was nocturne op9 n2 and it took me like 2 weeks. Even I was shocked by how much early training can help as if i never stopped playing.
I also think about it, just look at him playing the piano for 2 weeks like.. But im happy and jealous for him xD
@@franciscoarayax2412 yeah me too but only took me 1 week. I practiced 500 hours everyday though 😜
Yeah I learnt fur elise in under a month but it didn't sound like that. His sounds like the perfect fur elise just slower to fool people ngl
bro he is an Asian he can do anything
I don’t know you. But I have to say this...I’ve played guitar for over 20 years. I decided to learn to play piano, and after 1 year of practicing piano...I’m still practicing. Honestly this is very difficult to believe.
Read the other comments. Even real musicians who are classically trained thinks that this is fake.
He gave up reading sheet music at the firsg month... He just memorizes the pieces through online vids.. Which is easier than learning through sheet music and being classically trained
According to the vid description
@@HarumiSCANimE Everything is BS,you cant even know where the notes are,no matter how well you can listen and memorized a song. Hes been playing for a least 5 years.

From a very young age loved to learn piano and I quit many times now as an Adult again it interested me and while I was browsing the net came across this wonderful piano e-learning site and I am learning from the comfort of my home,you can also try...rb.gy/lcbtpy
This is one person. Not exactly a controlled experiment with lots of people for a year to compare/contrast. Gonna go out on a limb and say I believe him. He’s possibly just very talented and has an excellent practice routine. And he’s serious about playing. Bravo. And good for you. I wish my students would be more like you.
What a gift you have. Definitely not typical progress in my experience, but wow - you deserve to enjoy every note and the fabulous progress you've made. How neat to find out in just 1 year's time that you were MEANT to be a pianist!
nah I don't believe he's beginner in the first place. The way he uses his fingers and position on the first day is too good for a beginner.
Sophie Nguyễn agree. Minute two his finger / hand position is of a skilled practitioner. There is no way you can do that muscle memory in a week.
I develop muscle memory to a song I learn in like 2-3 days it’s not that hard
@@StratifyTradingOfficial What I meant was that his fingered played beautifully and had correct positioning. When I was a beginner, my fingers couldn't adapt well and move so skillfully, it just kept floating above the keyboard. Just my opinion anyway. Sorry for bad English :))
@@StratifyTradingOfficial because I'm too lazy to get ny piano book i just practice what I remember from my muscle memory
Sophie Nguyễn you may be right but let me tell you something , I learned piano when I was a kid and quit playing for years until 20 then I started playing again but I found out that I forgot all about piano except the way I set and how the fingers work ,I’m just saying that it’s probably what happened to him too
So inspiring. They say children learn faster than adults. Maybe in most situations... but.. when you have a passionate, driven adult with the determination, desire and WILL to achieve something...My god... they are a force to be reckoned with. Anything is possible. Bravo sir!
You know they're experts when they start playing Chopin
Abdi'sHairline i do play Chopin But dont consider myself an expert:)))

Siham Salameh Challenge accepted
I love Chopin. My grandfather used to play it all the time (he was amazing at playing the piano)
Chopin’s Fantasy Impromptu is beyond grade 8 and is often played for the performance diploma at ABRSM, for most pianists this would be 10 years with a brilliant teacher. To learn this in one years playing would require a prodigious talent that I certainly to not possess.
Lol yeah. I have had about 6-7 years of piano lessons (10 total) and I have JUST started learning this piece
there is no way he could have learned Fantaisie (as well as it was played) in 3 months.
Lol yeah. I had 8 years of training from Age 4-12. It took me a while to play this piece.
Idk I've been playing guitar for a year and iam learning alhambra
Maybe not perfect at it but it got complimented by some people who do play guitar
He needs another year to learn how to stare and play piano at the same time!

You are no expert indeed.
I beg to differ.
I was 6 when I jumped on the organ for the 1st time and played it with both hands..AND foot (on the bass pedals) after hearing and watching my Aunties with their organ tutor for weeks. I was 6...and playing songs I hear by ear (did not read any music or took lessons).

Me after 5 years: *can only play the first 7 notes*
Thanks for all the likes :)
Guys I know he put a lot of time into piano and that's why he is really good. This is just a joke.
슈가 7
He put in 700+ hours playing in a year.
The first section of Fur Elise is actually quite easy, I learned it in about 2 weeks
Same
I learned the whole song in 3 and a half but that’s after putting all of my attention on the song for only about an hour a day so I think it is reasonable
I really don't understand why so many people say he was trained before and is lying...
Because he played the C major scale from day 1 with correct fingering? That's probably the first thing most method books or most youtube videos meant for beginners would teach you ...I am pretty sure anyone could learn that in about 30mins - 1h.
Because he is playing while not looking at the sheet music? That's a common thing for beginners, because they wouldn't be able to sight read that fast so they mostly play from memory...I also do this, it would be weird to just move my sheet music somewhere else just because I am not looking at it the moment I am recording something.
You can definitely see from his first videos that he was a beginner. The last ones? Definitely a lot of hard work and also some talent above the average I would say. There are a few people who have this gift and probably he's just one of them so no one should be hating on him for this. He also did say he practices for about 3 hours a day after all.
Also, there were people saying he is discouraging other beginners with his fast progress. I wouldn't really say that. If anyone wants to start learning the piano and they like it enough, they shouldn't really care about what others are doing. I am a beginner myself and I've seen a lot of adult beginners progressing way faster than I did. Did it discourage me? No. I simply understood that maybe I wasn't putting enough effort in it.
Thanks Elena. You explained it perfectly.
Are you Romanian too? :))) I've been playing the piano for about 3 years now and I wasn't as good as him at 1 year. (I'm 14) I'm learning Claire de Lune now and this actually made me want to play the piano more. I don't see how some might get offended by this video. 😂 I loved it!💙
Hey, yes, I am Romanian :D. And that's great, his video is indeed motivational, but some people were probably just jealous and mean. Good luck with your practice
Elena Dobrescu I’m with you... ☺️
I’m an adult beginner as well and i play by memory 😁
well if people think he is lying about it. I hope he will take that as a big compliment. :)
I can't even imagine, how many people gave up on piano because of comparing own real little tiny step-by step progress with this absolute liar. Guys, piano takes time, so just keep practicing and in several years you'll be proud of yourself.
This dude should really be ashamed of himself. I hope people don’t take this liars progress seriously 😒.
I do think fantaisie impromptu in a year is pretty challenging, but never impossible if you have the passion, time, and dedication.
No, bro. I can only read C, D, E, F and G notes and I still get confused. I'm dumb asf plus I don't even have piano I'm just using piano app (it's unreliable because the keys I can play is limited)
@@floorcat7985 dude , from total beginner to fantasie impromptu is pretty much impossible unless all you do for a whole year is practice piano and are a prodigy because it is at least a grade 8 piece and I really don’t think it’s possible to get to grade 8 in a year from total beginner
I can’t believe people would give up just because they saw a video of someone better than them, real or not. If their passion for music is that pathetic, then it doesn’t even matter.
Fantaisie-Impromptu can be seen as the combination of Elegance and Virtuosity, being such an high level and difficult piece since it requires years and years of practicing all the piano different techniques, so, if you're going to tell me that in 1 year, starting almost from 0, you achieved to play fluently this piece, well, i'm not trusting it.
I agree
I could play Fantasie Impromptu at 1 year practicing the first page, almost as well as this guy at 1 year. It's not impossible. He definitely had some training before but to play Fantasie Impromptu in only 1 year is pretty doable.
Well I can kinda already play the first bit of it at 1 month into piano as well. It's actually not too hard atleast compared to chopin's other pieces. I have the progress video on my channel.
Fantaisie Impromptu is on the easier end of the diploma level piano repertoire. It is significantly harder than anything on the grade 8 syllabus. If you've played that piece well after such a short time you just might be the most talented person that ever sat at a piano. It takes ordinary people years to get to that level - at least eight in most cases.
@@garethharrison5797 idk then I guess I'm talented? Maybe I should've started piano sooner lol

I have been a professional teacher/pianist my whole life and while I totally believe this guy and totally admire his hard work and dedication there is also know doubt he is a very gifted and unusual person. Even 4-5 yrs for what he has done would be highly unusual. But inspiring to see what can happen! There is also a lot of things that simply can't be taught such as musical sensitivity which he also seems to have a natural affinity for. Just my thoughts along with everyone else!
The best website so far I found to learn piano is PianoPro.xyz
Hope this will help....
I totally agree, i have been playing piano for quite a year now and I train 1h every day and i'm not at his level at all ^^"
Genius or fake... excuse me but buying a yamaha u2 cafter 6mounth je really strange
A lot depends on how much each song he's actually learning there too. That Turkish March at 10:15 I can play but have no training and it took just a week or so to get down. One mistake throws me completely off though because I'm not trained or experienced enough. But it's fairly trivial to learn to play chunks of songs at a time like that. I couldn't pick up a sheet of music and play it, like at all though.
He probably started just like that and then pushed himself harder and harder to get more and more of each song down.... but I imagine it would take years for him his feet to a point where he could read sheet music and play like this instead of from memory.
Playing from memory and by ear is the easy way really...
Gary.. I have a similar background.. this guy has a natural sense of musicality that is not so common. That said, you are totally correct.. its possible with hard work and good guidance.
Some things stand out about this guy.. The good: he has great hand position and relaxed technique when playing. Seems like he has had some training before starting this.. Not a lot mind you.. but some. The not so good: His use of the pedals its still not quite there, and his ornamentation technique is still lacking (indicating that he is probably not a fake).. but that said.. what he DOES do right after even two years is QUITE astonishing. Well directed time spent practicing has definitely payed off for him big time.
My point here is not to be critical.. but rather to describe why is really a beginner, and highlight just how much amazing progress he has made.
I have to tell you, I am most impressed with this video. My mother (now deceased) was a concert level pianist. She didn't pursue a career due to her mother's poor health and settled with being a homemaker and teaching lessons on the side.
We did have a lovely Baldwin grand in our home and I would spend hours watching her play.
When you started playing the Mozart and Chopin pieces, especially Sonata in C major and Fantaisie, it immediately brought a warm feeling to my heart and I could see my mom sitting at the piano, feet working the pedals, playing those pieces. I've had a keyboard for a few yrs now and recently have found a renewed drive to pick it up again. This inspires me even more.
Thank you and I hope you continue to find joy in playing music.
