Another great video Stephen! I've been using both your and Fontaine's advice in my practice sessions and I can already hear the improvements. Thanks again for doing these videos they're extremely helpful!
Thanks for those videos. I would suggest to set the behaviour of the “played” note to the setting “same”. This way it reflects your fingers on on other parts of the keyboard for visual reference.
I like the progression, it works well for me. I appreciate the extra detail/options that you always show, e.g., hand positions and fingers used, it keeps the thought open on the approach. Even though we are singing numbers for now, I am also taking some time to sing note names, because I want to learn to identify the pitch that I hear, I am doing both. Will that interfere with what you are teaching? I really look forward to each lesson you post.
Thanks so much Ross. It certainly wouldn't interfere, although essentially what you're talking about learning perfect pitch, which is a topic that is debated in terms of whether it's even possible to really develop that as an adult. Yet, it wouldn't surprise me if it were possible. But do sing the numbers as well, as that is about "relative" pitch which is arguably an even more useful skill to develop, but it is different.
@@reckon104 I think of learning perfect pitch the same as learning "perfect colors", it seems perfectly nature and normal. The difference is, we are expected to know colors, our parents wouldn't have it any other way, the same expectation does not exist for pitch, hence the lack of exposure and consistency. Besides, aren't we all really children if we set self-imposed and society limits aside?
@@reckon104 You're lesson approach is bringing out this wonderful joy about embracing the possibilities. It's innate, so just start and you will find your way. Perfect pitch has been something I have always wanted to learn, but have never taken the time. Your invitation to sing the tones while practicing has already increased my singing confidence a lot, it feels wonderful, making this the perfect time to learn the pitch sounds by name. Thanks again.

Thanks! I did add that in later videos (although I think it's possible I forgot to turn it on in one of the last ones :(
Thanks for the video! Can you describe your setup a little bit? Your DAW looks like Bitwig, but I'm wondering which preset or plugin you are using.
The Rhodes sounds is UVI tunes, which is not mpe. I generally use pianiteq if I want an mpe electric piano. Thanks for watching;

Certainly makes sense. I will be fascinated to hear about your perfect pitch progress!
