      Effort is a determined attempt that is uncertain to work; succeed; aka when something serves its purpose and isn't a deluded failure thinking that it work because it attempt to achieve, when in reality, attempt is not work. It is what is done to make things work. There is no guarantee that you will succeed. Learn.

      Hell yeah. As long as you've got two limbs or even some toes, you can make it work. At least it's not violin. There's no 'chopsticks' for violin.
      I mean, I guess there are fiddlesticks though. So even if you had to get someone else to do the drumming on the strings you could still make it work. You can stop making music when you're dead.

    I played for 10 years between the ages of 7 and 17 and since have not really pursued further education or practice. Now at the age of 37, 20 years later, your video has made me want to slowly get back into it. Learning full pieces of work are too daunting and much too tall and order for someone who doesn't have the time, but perhaps daily piano warm ups like this can not only limber the fingers and give life back into this old piano of mine, but lift the soul and inspire myself to put more time into it.

      Start super simply and work your way up the difficulty.. Left hand just do the note D (ii), F (V), and then C (I), just those 3 notes and nothing else. Right hand do FACE, go FABE, then EGBD all as block chords. I don't know how else to explain simply the transposition down to the next key, but you just turn EGBD into F#GA#D while doing C(ii), F#(V) and B(I).

    Not only these exercises seem incredibly creative and intriguing but also they sound amazingly appealing from a listener’s perspective as well! 01:00 sounds like perfect prologue music for a storyline to me. It feels like a character is riding her bike on her road to home. The whole exercise set feels like a score to me! They feed my imagination a lot! The fact that you always try to create new means of expression while trying to learn something new is so interesting and influencing! You are both a master teacher and brilliant student at the same time Nahre! Thank you so much as always! 😊

      I actually feel the same way about 1:00 , it sounds like a girl riding her bike down the middle of the street, in a neighborhood, when the sun is setting and the sky is filled with purples, oranges and pinks. I have synesthesia so I visualize the way music sounds. Actually gives me inspiration for a painting, since I’m big into painting surrealistic expressionism and eye-catching pieces.

    I totally love your videos. I'm new-ish (2 years) to the piano but have 35+years of guitar under my proverbial belt; your sharings are inspiring and humbling, thank you.
