Wish I'd found this year's back, it's pretty much what I did, but it would have been much faster learning if it had been structured and shown to me like this. I learned some fancy licks but couldn't play them with a left hand part. I was trying to run before I got my shoes on!! This method is spot on!
spending time with a grandchild of almost 2 yrs reinforces for me Tom's point about progress and taking it slow. We all want speed and complexity but some of the greatest blues is slow, real slow and really simple. Small steps. Great lessons here. Play slow, again and again, and the speed will be around the next corner. Listening to the music that galvanised me to try playing blues also helps always. Tom's lesson is hugely relevant as usual. And progress in blues opens new portals to jazz, very naturally, I found.
Great instructional video! In regard to left-right hand independence, I agree that it's very important to start off playing very slowly as long as need be. I might add that by playing slowly, one programs the brain's 'action potentials' and chemical neurotransmitters for what one is trying to accomplish with left-right hand independence. Then slowly, but surely the left-right hand independence starts to become easier and easier. Then you can eventually move faster and faster, because the brain has been programmed in that regard.
I cannot believe this video was uploaded a week ago This 25th I have an interview with Berklee and I want to be ready, this video came in the perfect moment
This type of lesson is perfect for me because I’m a beginner when it comes to blues 🎹…can you continue this type of lesson and progress my coordination with both hands as well as different rhythms…Slow blues play would be great with one left hand chord with right hand runs etc…again keep these coming ❤
Holy smokes..as a real beginner this is hard. I got going pretty fast with just the LH but playing a 7th chord with RH was a real challenge, so I just tryied playing a C Maj chord and i had to go sooooo slow and still make mistakes. I guess this will take some time. 😀

Thanks- you really started quite well for Blues beginners - with good advices for little steps forward- unfortunately you then lost your own aim and don't continue by teaching step by step forward- slowly- but you enjoyed too much ( as most musicians do ) your own play - and so let us beginners back and lost on the road......mitch from germany
I keep asking for these handouts via your website and I get nothing. Given up. Just show the handouts so those of us that are ignored can grab a screenshot.
Hi Toasted Jam. As I said to you in a previous video comment you made. We absolutely 100 percent answer everyone's email that we receive. Have you checked your spam box? Have you emailed us at admin@contemporaryschoolofpiano.com you can also try tom@contemporaryschoolofpiano.com? We are very generous with the material and productions that we make, so it would be more effective to find out what is happening with the email comms rather than take cheap shots that we ignore people's emails.
@@sidpackard8613, thank you so much for noting the service of our remarkable admin team, who answer literally hundreds of emails in a 48-hour time frame. And when people take to RUclips to tell us we didn't respond to them (when we did) and we mention the spam box issues or just ask them to double check their email. We never get a response from them...I start to wonder if they ever got in touch with us in the first place. On a more positive and exciting note, we have just completed building a specialized web page that shares ALL of our RUclips resources with the wider YT community. So it's really a great idea to get in touch with us via our site www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com

Been practicing like this for a few months now and I can literally text a friend while keeping a steady 12 bar blues in my left hand!
Best piano lessons ever from the London Contemporary School of Piano!
Thankyou!
Thank you. Must not be easy for you to understand the difficulties of being a beginner. You do that very well.
Great material as always ❤

Thanks great feeling when autopilot kicks in eventually on that left hand
It's a wonderful place to be when that happens. Fantastic to hear! Keep going, it keeps getting better.

Thanks Tom, I think you are great. I am on my way.
I'm glad it's helping Parnell!
Thank you so so so much!! after few tries I feel like I finally unlocked something in my technique....this exercise progression is so valuable!
Great to hear that, this is a valuable way to practice and measure how you are doing.
I hear that to be a great pianist you must divide your brain into to two..this will help me big time bro.. thanks
I like to see it as both hands have to work and understand each other....
Excellent teacher, but no so easy
I will try, and try, and....
May be one day !
Thanks a lot
Yes not easy at all, but there are some steps to push through with!
This is good! Thanks!
Great job! Loved the pace & calm delivery. TY. Subbed

There’s obviously a problem on your end. They responded to me in about three hours.
