I avoid boredom by watching your videos and getting remotivated ❤ seriously.
Every now and then I like to play a piece from a few months ago that I'd found hard but now can manage. It's a very solid demonstration of progress and a reminder that even in slumps am getting better
I can't be the only one who wants to know what's in that bookshelf! ❤ I would love to see a reading list or a photo with good enough resolution that I can read the titles! I love this channel and have learned a lot. Thank you for your work.
I use an EPiano and i find switching the sound effects make it a lot more interesting. Like screw it we’re playing Beethoven on a heavy metal guitar 😂 very fun
Half the reason you're my top RUclips piano teacher is learning these amazing piano pieces I otherwise would have never heard of.
These small chunks tipp is a tipp I can approve. Since I work from home 100 % I use my piano for short breaks from work, sometimes just 5 minutes. It is awesome if you focus on small parts for this time. Its like magic how the brain learns😊
I color code my repeated errors using different colors for different errors. I recently noticed that many of my flubs (playing wrong note) were made by my 4th right hand finger. And this is with various pieces (and different colors). Either that finger is weaker or I am not curling my fingers consistently or both. Or maybe it's something else. So I am back to Czerny focusing on doing single hand exercises that address that problem.
I also have assumed the habit of leaving notes on each piece after practicing telling me exactly what frustrated me in that session. Forces me to think and focus before I resume the next time I play them.
I also like to read and mark-up pieces I like to listen to that are way out of my ability to play. Helps my listening skills and increases my appreciation for top echelon pianists.
I will also play something to death each practice and always something different. Then skip it for a few sessions. When I come back to them, they seem familiar and less difficult to play. There are mysterious forces at play when learning piano.
This man always gives you a new beautiful piece to listen an learn
Good to know I'm doing the right things, like breaking down short bits, focusing on goals, and mixing it up. And so, playing is it's own reward. I don't need a reward after I've had a good session.
This advice and insight is priceless! Many thanks for posting Jazer. Your posts are always brilliant and I come away as a better student.
One of your best video’s yet (imo)! I recognize it so much. Especially tip 3 and 4 are so important. Thanks once more!
The best tip I take from this video is to learn Passacaglia. It's soooo beautiful! Thanks also for all other useful tips, they will help me to keep practicing other pieces too :)
Great video! I'm going to watch it again after my practice session today!
BTW: I applied the 7 repetitions suggestions after having watched the video where you explained this method and now it is the main pillar of my study of pieces.
This was so good, I am learning a lot of ragtime songs but had fallen into the trap of wanting to perfect every song before I starts the next one. Once I relaxed this and started learning the next tune when the first one was memorised but only about 70% where I want it to be I would start a new song. Not only did this help me learn the similarities of the ragtime genre more quickly but when I go back to the previous piece it has improved for me. It’s like magic!
I’m learning Ballade op23 by Chopin and I start from the ending measure and go forward learning the piece. I’ve completed the last two pages in two weeks but working on speeding it all up. Yes I tend to get bored trying to work at it, I go and sight read random songs and then return to the piece and I seem to play it better . I also take many breaks , after I play the parts I work on, like six times I take a ten minute break and return to it. This really helps. Thank you for your videos they are all very helpful.
I love all of your advice. It's inspired me to keep up my practice because your tips have stopped me from trying to slog through one too-challenging piece from beginning to end (I'm looking at you, Chopin) and getting nowhere. The separate goals of working on sight reading (looking ahead), focusing on short, problematic passages, slowing down, and practicing left hand vs. right hand have been the keys to progress for me. Thank you so much!
I love playing Passacaglia! Thank you for featuring it today!! ❤
I change up my scenery because I use a Digital piano to practice, I will change the piano to a harpsichord, or a organ sound, or almost any instrument to practice and when I change back to the Acoustic grand piano sound it's -- wonderful.
Timely! Haha I wasn't able to make it to my Piano Graduation Recital because of Stressing out myself too much in practicing. In the end I never polished my pieces. I'm now starting over with my repertoires. Thank you for this! It greatly motivated me!
You are the best teacher I’ve come across in you tube. I really wanted to improve my piano playing and you helped a lot. I’m getting some tips but still I’m struggling but with your help I can make it. Thank you so much.
Even your warm up.finger exercises are tuneful unlike those that were taught to me as a child. When the teacher left the music room
I closed the book and played what i heard on the radio. It would have been great to.have you as a child to make learning music more fun.
I.agree totally with separate hands and i was taught this as a child. I had a very good ear so i did not always follow this but it is the best way to play correctly.
Allocating you ram is my expression too, sei un grande 🙌
I.play for afternoon tea at a hotel but i am glad to have had the classical foundation even though i play non classical pieces from shows etc.
Passacaglia is on my list😊! I'll start after the 2nd Waltz by Shostakovich! In between, I repeat my favorites. Tip 1 is very good, I do it too, Tip 2: whenever I see a piano on the way, my fingers "itch" to try it out 😅, I do it too, it's great! Otherwise I'll switch from my electric piano to the acoustic one. With the electric piano I also change the voices or use effects (accompaniment) that exist in the instrument. Very good topic and very good video! Motivates me to keep going! Thank you!❤ Kind regards from Germany!
I do really like playing the same songs on different keyboards. I also like playing them with different styles; my Clavinova has like dozens of genres and stuff that I keep coming back to, which is much more interesting than using metronomes. Sometimes I even get clashing time signatures that really test me.
Really useful as ever - thank you.
PS. Passacaglia is an Italian word and is pronounced correctly ‘pass-a-kall-yah’; the letters ‘gl’ are like ‘ll’ in million.
I find your channel so very interesting. Very clear and fun teaching
I love your videos so much Jazer,, thank you!
your right Jazer, i love Passacaglia❤ thank you
Wow Mr Lee its so amazing to see you again we all still miss you - One of you're students
I love so much your helpful videos ❤
Hugs from France 🇫🇷
This video was like listening to my piano teacher …so many of the same suggestions that he drills into my head. Also..what was the name of the piano channel you mentioned in the video. Thanks
Loved this video!! It addressed so many of my issues.and discouragements and how to handle them. Thank you for making me feel better a out myself.
Thank you, Maestro Jazer....your advices are very useful (as always) for a beast like me. Following your videos we improve our skills (very slowly in my case). Un abrazo desde La Palma.
Thank u sooo much!
Thanks from the Netherlands.
I'm happy to say I do most of the things here already (I'm going to look at the forest app). My reward is generally thinking about what has improved, and I get a happy feeling about that. I write those things down regularly, and over a period of months, it's a good feeling to re-read it and have evidence of my progress.
Awesome piece, it’s on my bucket list as I learn how to play better. Thanks.
My goal is to play and accompany songs that I can use in the assisted living facility. Those old folks love music though I always mess up but they always clap and appreciate music. How much more if I will improve. Thank you for your lessons.
Hi..been watching your channel for a while now and i love your tidbits of tips i can watch in one sitting.
I call myself a "frustrated pianist" because I only had 3 monyhs of formal piano in 2001 and never had the chance to continue it. I hafnt even :xperienced my first piano recital. I had to stop when my teacher back then agreed to let me play Moonlight zdonata fist movement even at grade 1 because she saw I completed it.
After stopping due to financial constraints, i was more into playing by ear, learning new techniques by watching and listening to other pianists..like Richard Clayderman. Now I have a bedroom studio and a youtube channel after retiring from the band and mst pieces i cover are OSTs from videogmes like Genshin Impact (of which the fifth nation is based on France and the OSTs are classical and baroque-era inspired). I have covered a few already on my channel. But my frustration is i only use a 61key semi weighted keys so the pieces i can play are limited. Im also limited on my dynamics and expressionism which are very important aspects of playing as I have been taught.
Thank you so much for sharing. I often don't feel like practicing or find it repetitive and because of that I often feel like I'm not meant to be a pianist..
The piece(s) I practice last can suffer from flagging energy, sometimes physical but usually concentration/focus. I’m using 2 solutions that could also help with boredom: don’t always practice pieces in the same order 😂 , and as you mentioned, take a break . Whether for 10 minutes or 2 hours.
Nice from you! I record my playing.. and listen.. and folow Lang Lang and make changis in playing.. again…
Setting goals are instant mood killers for me and lead to demotivation.
saame, I only play as a hobby, so if I really like a song, it's enough motivation that I want to be able to play it myself :)
Hi Jazer, thank you for providing these tips I will definitely try them. I would like to learn to play the piece that you are playing in the video where can I get a free print out of the version that you have? Thank you for letting me know in advance. I love to hear you play and I can hardly wait for your next video. Have fun practicing , from Southeast Michigan.
Good practice how can lget spice like that pice
Thank you for your videos, I really love watching them. You gave me many useful tips even I've been playing piano for many years.
I would like to ask how to play two or three notes perfectly together. I have no problem playing with both hands. But sometimes when I play chord on one hand, which means using three fingers on one hand usually on right hand, the three fingers don't always hit the keys exactly at the same time. (For example, the 4th finger plays G and then the 1st, 2nd and 5th fingers play ADA, 125 fingers don't hit the keys exactly at the same time) Wondering if you have any advice to improve it ?
Thanks a lot for these very useful tips! Where can one find the Passacaglia music sheet which you are using in this video?
Bro i really love your video ❤️❤️
How can master all the keys
I barely could play the key of C right now
I don't know how to practice
Please tell me the most effective way to practice
Could you please make a video on Indila love story

My warm up is to play my scales slowly then rev up. I can play my scales repeatedly without error at a high tempo. THEN, I tried playing my scales hand separately. It was then that I discovered, I didn’t actually know my scales. OK, back to square one, learn scales hands seperately.
Could you please make a video on Indila love story 😢
I play by ear, can't read note.
I make a list of my favorite songs and then I find all the keys. I play all songs only on few scales, 2 minor and 2 major. I transpose them to my favorite scale, I wrote all of the transpose detail on my list as well. I convert them to mp3, listening them a lot tills I can humm them. Then I start practicing them in the Sametime I play back one by one.
Change of scenery: It's a technique that works for virtually anything that involves memorization. We are visual creatures and the objects around us become part of the memory trigger. By moving, or even changing objects on your desk/piano, you reduce dependency on those objects to trigger memory. This is a largely unconscious function.
Who composed that Passcaglia piece? I love it.
Handel/Halvorsen
Georg Friedrich Händel/Johan Halvorsen
@@c.a.7522 Got it, thank you!
does anyone have a file of this piece? I kind of want to learn this!
Same!
👋
I know it's really bad but I avoid scales. I don't want it to be a chore so it's better for me to play not as good than not play at all. I'm going to add to my 3 pieces by learning Passacaglia, I'd never heard it before.
when I want to learn a song I look at what scale it uses, play that scale between 5 to 10 times just to know which keys (especially which black keys) are part of the song, so over time I did learn at least the scales that I needed so far :)
Hi other waiting guy
I am really struggling with hands together
Bye sir
Passacaglia is beautiful, but playing that piece makes both side of my palm makes very uncomfortable 😣
My main problem is I got so bored practising pieces, I didn't want to play them any more.
this is my problem i’ve been practising some songs for years now because i always get bored and then forget them
Thank ypu butmake it shorter .time is expensive
Definitely not for beginners- so am stepping away.. All I see is a greek word here😊
the quality of the video seems worse than usual or is it just me
I warm up in slow piece then play Czerny then play what ever I'm working on and also them play stuff I learned prior. Sometimes I plsty by ear or along with u tube videos or improvise. Most is plsying classical music with music. I dont get bored. If i did l would find something else to do
I 5:02 I found online and printed out Passcaglia. You make it look so easy. I can play the first four measures at a snail's pace. I wonder what level it is????? I'm certain it will take me awhile to learn it. Thanks for the tips
Music is so therapeutic especially for older people. The right type of music. You are doing well to.play in assisted living facilities. I don't know you but for me i would play lighter classical pieces like Chopin preludes. My grandmother sent me to take lessons but i am not heavily into classics
Good that you entertain the elderly
❤
