Hey Students! I want to let you know that there is a Summer Sale going on right now for the courses over on my website www.pianolessonsontheweb.com (use code "youtube" for additional 15% off) . You can learn a lot more about piano, theory, rhythm, and anything else you need to become a well rounded musician!
I’m kinda beginner, but I really really wanna play ‘La Noyée For Yann Tiersen’ it’s a dream but I’ll make it come true. Wonderful video btw . I’ll make this list now ;) . Thanks
Key areas I work on are piano technique, especially fingering, music analysis, and memorization and articulations (artistry) to bring out the beauty of it all. Also level 3 classical pieces and I study and play Jazz. Being older now, and with the current state of things, I am not as consistent as I would like , which I need to work on.
Speaking of hand independence, playing with swing rhythm in a hand and/or alternating accents can help with some tricky sections. More importantly, Bach's inventions are actually very taxing, and wouldn't go into them without prior toe dipping in counterpoint. In addition, a jump from inventions to the Well-Tempered Clavier is not a good idea. I'd say to at least try and play a few Bach Sinfonia's (which are like harder inventions) because they're 3 voices which makes them challenging but easier than fugues. And the answer to your question: I'm currently not working on anything, and won't be for a while.
Why aren't you working on anything? Did something happen? For context, I was taught to do inventions first then WTC but I see your point. Doing some Sinfonia's would be a good idea before a lot of the material in the WTC. There are some Minuets in the style of Bach that have very basic counterpoint as well. Thanks for the input as always.
I'm feeling like I'm at a plateau right now. My instrument is probably the biggest factor in this, as I cannot properly work with it. I have to do much more work for the same result I'd get with a better instrument. So I will probably wait until that does happen, which might be a year from now.
Your class is very helpful and interesting. I have been working on Czerny and the virtuoso pianist without knowing what they tend to do. Now I understand that virtuoso builds coordination while Czerny builds hand independence. Thank you.
I really enjoy the idea of your channel. You give amazing advices from begginers to advanced players and show that music is for everybody. I've learned the first steps on piano during the pandemic and I'm coming back now and your channel gives me a lot of motivation because you teach with so much joy. Thank you for that, and congrats!
The best thing that I've found when learning the Piano. Is to find a teacher that actually cares about your progress and not about how much money they can make from an adult student. Too many teachers in my country of Australia just don't put in the effort for adult students, and use them as a source of income. Whilst not being able to deliver the required content to progress a student. There are lots of scam Piano teachers in Australia that just use Piano lessons as a con job. Great video tutorial by the way.
Hi John, Tim is great, organized and thorough. However, I finding Piano Adventures, Randall and Nancy Farber's program to be very helpful and Graham Fetch's Online Piano Academy are also accomplished classical artists as a good foundation to branch out with other styles as well. Try to use this perspective to try and find what suits you. Explore and enjoy the journey. We are so lucky. You definitely will progress with consistent persistence. All the best!

I also have problem understanding chord progressions and inversions can you be of help please?
Hi Tim, love your lesson. They are succinct but effective. Thank you.
On Tchaikovskys theme pA 3A
What kind of piano or keyboard to sound like a piano would you suggest for an estimated budget of €600-700?
For that price, I would recommend something like a Yamaha P45: amzn.to/43FcS2R
@@LessonsOnTheWeb That's what I have and I'm very satisfied. I did have trouble with the sound cutting out but it was simply the jack.
Love love love ❤️ you, how you teach, explain… Well explained and illustrated, thanks for sharing. Thank you👌🏽God Bless Tim.
What’s did Ray Charles do?

Enjoyed you video as always
I got a challenge for you
No more Fur Elise lol
haha! Sometimes when I need an example off the top of my head, I always go to that one. Challenge accepted tho lol
So for the Czerny sheet music, the bottom treble clef is played with the left hand? Why wouldn't they just make that a bass clef?
Thank you. I experience problem on eighth and sixteenth notes durations.
Hi Tim, thanks for your lessons ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
