Impressive. I used the same books when I started playing about 15 years ago. Now I am 59 and will start practising again trying a give a fresh look how to play piano properly this time.
A very realistic progression. I've always said that those videos showing people playing Fur Elise at 1 month are total BS! Good technique and hand independence. Well Done!
well to be honest with enough practice you can even play the grade 8 pieces. I have 5 months into piano learning and last month i finished nocturne op 37 no 1 and now currently learning op 15 no 3. You should challenge yourself more than just these simple pieces
Thanks for your suggestion. I do challenge myself to play more advanced pieces. But it is hard to play them without errors in front of camera. Right now my hand got injured, so I have to figure out more efficient way to practice and learn the piece as well as technique. Then enjoy the progress.
Looks like you started reading sights from day one and this IS great for you! I pass just 1st year and all I use it RUclips ! Thank you for sharing and keep going!
Thank you Tong for sharing your piano progress. What makes it very interesting to me is that you are self-taught. Thanks also to indicate the books that you use, as I am sure it will help others understand how to learn the piano from scratch. Keep your beautiful piano journey going, Tong. All the best to you Tong.
You are willing to put in more work and effort than I ever was lol! I remember when I got lessons as a kid I would jump on the keyboard I had at the time just 10 minutes before my tutor arrived, hoping I’d learn my homework…. Wrongo!!! She always asked if I’d practiced, yet obviously knew I hadn’t… I’d actually have taken a step back from the previous week because I hadn’t touched the thing 😂 👌🏼
Thank you @buzzin-hornet for sharing your story. Unlike kids having good memory, flexibe finger, quick learn, I need to keep praticing to make a little progress.
@@tong157 And you’re making amazing progress and it’s beautiful for anyone in this world pursue their interests and even more beautiful to watch them succeed! Keep it up my friend! 🎵💪🏼😉✌🏼
6months? yeah I'll believe that unlike most of the other beginner videos where they are playing Winter wind in 6 months this at least looks mildly believable. If it is real "The entertainer" in 6 month isn't too bad
Oh my! It's my day 4 I got a keyboard and I just do a simple cord progesssion and variations on it, trying to get the left hand in not like 4 songs! 😂 But I enjoy playing so far. Don't think I will get that far within 6 months or can even upgrade to an E-Piano. Well done!
Thank you for your suggestion. You can see the title with the meter when you tap the video or move the mouse on the video meter. The index of videos can be found in the description. Thank you again!
Hello Uncle Tong! I think your progress is really good! Well done ! How many hours daily do you practice? Im 33 and i started playing piano 3.5 month ago.Love the process! You are a good inspiration for all of us, go on!!
Thank you for watching the video. Most of pieces are from Alfred's Adult All-in-One 1 and Adult Piano Adventures 1. You also can find the chapter index in description.
You can choose some good piano method books and use RUclips as an extra resource for specific topic. You can also find some nice piano courses for beginner in Udemy. Best.
You are using a YamahaDGX670B. This is not a beginner level piano. I cant tell from this angle if it has the furniture stand or the triple pedal but both of those will bring this piano's cost to around $1000. Although it is possible for an absolute beginner to purchase high quality equipment before even knowing if they want to fully commit, I do think it's a little unlikely that you filmed all of these as a beginner, and instead just made a compilation of a bunch of short scenes all in one day for a long format clickbait video. This does appear to be a trend where people who have been playing piano for a long time will suddenly start making youtube "beginner" progress videos. An Alesis or a cheap casio is usually everyone's first digital piano. Not a high middle tier Yamaha.
Thank you for watching my video. You can go to my video channel to see my piano journey starting last year: www.youtube.com/@tong157/videos You are right that some people may buy very cheep digital piano or even keyboard if they don't commit to learn piano.
Lol... Do you realize it would take a lot more effort to change clothes for every take and change the camera position slightly to make a believable clickbait video? Plus, the instrument thing is bs. If you have the money, what's the point in buying a crappy "beginner keyboard" when you can buy a proper piano. My first piano was a middle tier yamaha, and my friend just bought a $650 guitar before knowing any chords
You mentioned keyboard prices like you know what’s in his bank account everybody don’t start off with a low priced keyboard some people are better off financially than others this is still great content for those who inspire to learn piano
Finally a piano progession video that is realistic
Day one is most impressive. Fingers are not trying to fly away from the keyboard.
Thank you!

I saw one who was playing fur elise on day one
Excellent! I'm 61 and just started a couple of months ago after a couple of years of lessons as a kid. I'm loving it! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Susan for encouraging me! Best wish to your piano journey.
@@tong157 Thank you!
Very insping video. I started with piano in Sep 23, now im 38 😊 Keep playing sir 🎉
Thank you @pianodugi for watching my video. All the best to your piano journey.
I'm the same age and contemplating the idea of learning piano, without any music education. Are you happy with your journey of learning ?
Yes, I really enjoy learning piano and feel very satisfied from playing the piece I like.
Looks like you started reading sights from day one and this IS great for you!
I pass just 1st year and all I use it RUclips ! Thank you for sharing and keep going!
Thank you, alexgoriatchenkov! I see your videos in RUclips. You play piano very well, in a very natual way.
Thank you Tong for sharing your piano progress. What makes it very interesting to me is that you are self-taught. Thanks also to indicate the books that you use, as I am sure it will help others understand how to learn the piano from scratch.
Keep your beautiful piano journey going, Tong. All the best to you Tong.
Thanks Michael for your very kind words!
Thanks for sharing! It is great to see how others are doing.
Thank you for watchng!
Very inspirational sir, I started late last year at 27 half thinking that it was too late for me. This video is proof of the contrary.
Thank you for watching my video. I am sure you will play very well after you keep learing and praticing piano.
LOL 27 is not too late for anything! Try learning something new at 70! Trust me, it's much tougher to do! LOL!
Great job
Thank you!
Beautiful played
Thank you! I am very glad that you thought it was beautiful played.
Such an expansive oeuvre for only 6 months! I have been playing for 3 and I can only play 1 piece still. Very impressive!
just started this journey as well - I'm 53, so I may be able to catch up to you one day!
Best wish to your journey. Cheers.
keep up the good work
Thanks Farshid for encouraging me.

So many beautiful pieces! Well done!
Thank you Di Viajar!

If it is real "The entertainer" in 6 month isn't too bad
I mean, it's a very simplified arrangement of The Enteratiner, so very realistic progress.
thanks for sharing I just started too, i'm 3 weeks into this book
Thank you for watching. Best wish to your journey!

Enjoy playing - I love it. It takes some time to learn a new skill. Once you get it, you will feel very satisfied and enjoy more.
wow!
What a pro
👏😃
felicitacionessssss
Thank you, Jose!
If you start with 0:00 in the description, the timesteps will be shown in the video :)
Thank you for the tip!😀
Sir, would have been great if you could input the title of the music somewhere on the screen. Great perserverence!

Hi, how many hours do you practice each day? Pretty good job
I practice 2 or 3 hours daily.
Excellent! What book do you use?
I used Alfred's Adult All-in-One 1, 2 and Faber's Adult Piano Adventures 1.
@@tong157 thank you!!
Hello Uncle Tong! I think your progress is really good! Well done ! How many hours daily do you practice?
Im 33 and i started playing piano 3.5 month ago.Love the process!
You are a good inspiration for all of us, go on!!
Thank you @Magerramus for the nice comments. I practice 2 or 3 hours daily. I used to play even longer before I got finger pain.
Great video. Could you please tell me which book was referenced in the video?
Thank you for watching the video. Most of pieces are from Alfred's Adult All-in-One 1 and Adult Piano Adventures 1. You also can find the chapter index in description.
How do you reccomend to start learning piano self taught, are there any RUclips tutorials lessons that can help and do progressively? :)
You can choose some good piano method books and use RUclips as an extra resource for specific topic. You can also find some nice piano courses for beginner in Udemy. Best.
What books you are learning from?
I learn from Alfred's Adult All-in-One book and also refer to Adult Piano Adventures.
What book did you use for your study? Can you share please
I used Alfred's Adult All-in-One 1, 2 and Faber's Adult Piano Adventures 1.
How many hours do you practise a day?
@@user-ri5pl7io4i I practice 2 or 3 hours daily.
did you start reading music from day1 ?
I start reading simple music notes in the first week, following the book progress.
What piano sound is that setting at. Sounds great
Thank you for watching my video. The voice settings are Depth:64, Offset:72, and all others are default settings.
What is the brand of piano?
Yamaha dgx670

And I’m here because I just came into a Yamaha C-7 and am contemplating starting lessons. Guess I need to buy something else.
👍👍👍👍
