This was finally exactly what I was looking for!! I was hoping to hear about the modes: their order and their patterns... Ionian, dorian, phrygian, and so on. As they relate to the scale. Also, I was hoping to hear about how you know what the next scale pattern after c looks like.

I also suggest staccato and legato alternating left and right. Really useful for independence. You can also play one hand softer or louder than the other hand or try to accentuate every xth note.
Which minor scales should we practice (natural, melodic, harmonic) or all of them? Also, what about learning the main chords of each scale and their names (supertonic, mediant, etc.), inversions, arpeggios of the inversions, etc.? Do you have a video that talks about how to practice all that stuff together?
You should also practice all scales and arpeggios in contrary motion. Add the chromatic scales beginning on any note, parallel and contrary and add the diminished 7th chords same thing. Also practice the whole tone scales. You should also practice the natural, harmonic, and melodic minor scales. Also you should practice all inversions both parallel and contrary, 1 octave then 4 octaves.
@16:13 that's one of the better pieces of advice I got out of this video. Similar to "the band-aid approach" I've heard about (identify what section of a song needs the most work and practice from there instead of the beginning of the song everytime.) Thank you for sharing your tips!
Although this actually tells the sequence in which learning is to be done, was expecting something sort of "routine"one can follow daily. Maybe a video of how to practise those scales daily would help. Although it is upon someone to practise the scale as they want, but one can always benefit from such a video.
with 16th notes i also do them in contrary motion. Most of the time i isolate just a few scales or only one for a week but also practice the diatonic chords and modes from that scale. I find technical exercises like this are great but if you have to do them every day in all 12 it can become a little boring and time consuming (+ after 12 maj scales you have to learn 12 minor scales, 12 harmonic minor scales and 12 melodic minor scales ...). So, i reduce this practice to 30 min or sometimes 2x 30 min because there are a lot of other things to do aswel if you want to become good at this instrument. Like sight reading, sight singing, eartraining in general, analyzing tunes and chord progressions, Rhythmical exercises, playing pieces, learning to improvise (Jazz) so you need to know theory and harmony. How voicings work and how re harmonization techniques work, transcribing solos by ear... etc. There probably are other things that i forgot to mention but i try to approach music as holistic as possible.
Great video. I'm not sure if I should learn each scale, one at a time, each a half step up from the last one (chromatically) or if I should learn each scale 5 notes up from the last one (circle of 5ths)?
I know all the thumb under and middle finger over procedures for doing scales for both hands separately....but my brain cannot do both of these at same time. Any tips for doing them with BOTH hands? I've tried over and over and it is near impossible! lol Other than sheer practice...is there ANY tips for this? It's voodoo, I tell ya! 🤪
Is there a book that will show these exercises? In the order pretty much you’re teaching? I can’t pay for one of your classes right now. I have an Alfred’s piano book.
Learning all i can from all the great teachers in RUclips. Practice as much as i can. I try different timing and broken patterns. Sometimes play repeatedly each note adding different patterns. I know doesn't make since..lol

Love your casual, conversational style of teaching. It really helps us understand complex topics in a familiar way. Thank you!
Merci for this. I'll be coming back to your other videos often.
love this guy

to answer your question the only thing you have to to is find your fifth from your first finger
Would like fingers to use for flats on circle of fifths. You are a great teacher. Tks. Linda

In scales I highlight where there is a finger under. Helps me. I’m a new member intermediate
Thanks for the lesson.

If there was a bee attacking me, it would soon be a Bee flat.
Brandi Jones you are correct
lol only true pianist would relate
Very comprehensive practice routine, next, is there a "how to actually do this?" vid, with fingerings inc. thumb under.
awesomwe video, was able to "cement down" in my mind exactly what I needed to do in a way that was easy and repeatable, better than my teacher did

did you not get 8 minutes in? lol
Where do you find what notes to play for each scales ?, ie ones with black keys in
Awesome video!! Easy to understand!!
Thanks for your instruction. When practicing 2, 3, and 4 octaves, I'm not sure what fingerings to use. Is it the same as the 1st octave? Mary
yes the fingering is the same any amount of octaves you do
What fingerings would you use to black keys arpeggios I need suggestions ? For example I use LH - 5-3 -2-1 , RH 1-2-3 -5
for c# minor for example, you have a black key followed by a white key, so you'd start with 2 - 1 - 4 - 2 -1 etc.
@@ultramikon6098 thanks
Hi Tim. Now iam working on my sight reading both hands. Do u want me to practice this too simultaneously??
with 16th notes i also do them in contrary motion. Most of the time i isolate just a few scales or only one for a week but also practice the diatonic chords and modes from that scale. I find technical exercises like this are great but if you have to do them every day in all 12 it can become a little boring and time consuming (+ after 12 maj scales you have to learn 12 minor scales, 12 harmonic minor scales and 12 melodic minor scales ...).

thank u, video was helpful. You answered questions i had. I will check out ur course

You are welcome Anthony, glad you liked it.

This is perfect
thanks a lot Hilbert!
Thanks
can you do the arpeggios slow, so i can see what you are really doing.
Correct pronunciation of Arpeggio would be ARPEJJO. Double JJ !
NUNCA utilizarei home refill!!
Scales are hard because it sounds boring
Too fast for me, my left hand is the problem
ur going so fast wich makes this video not very helpful thank you anyways !
