@@linknobody6886 no haha, It's been 2 years since I started the piano. However, I didn't update the youtube channel at the same time ;) I just have to edit the videos now
Very good progress for 6 months! I'm glad you quickly realised that playing pieces out reach, like the Turkish March (which usually takes about 7 years of piano study to play acceptably), is not optimal. I was originaly self-taught and if I were to do it over again, I'd try to figure out what level I am within a grading system and and choose pieces from a syllabus. The RCM as a very wide repertoire too choose from for example. The best option of course is to find a teacher if you have the money for it. Keep it up!
I couldn't agree more ! I'm currently working on 3 pieces : a hard challenging one (right now it's vach prelude no2 c minor), an easy one (rn it's an easuer version of sugar plum fairy), and a fun one, that i can sightread a bit (idea 10 for example) :)
You are doing really good, I suggest buying a book called "Juinior Hannon for the Piano," and downloading the metronome on your phone. These are really good exercises, and to improve your technique, you should follow this simple formula in the junior hannon book. First, do the right hand slowly, not below a speed of 100 on the metronome. Then, speed up your right hand, and work to nothing over 200 on the metronome. Then, do the same with your left hand. Once you have both hands down, put them together at a slow speed, and then get it up to a speed as high as you possibly can, but remember, if you are going over 200, you will not improve. After you have done all of that, move to the next hannon exercise and do it again.
I agree. Hard pieces stretch you and you learn so much. But they are difficult and frustrating. And you never get that satisfaction of feeling like you’re good at them no matter how much you practice. I love mixing easier pieces at my level with more difficult pieces that stretch me. Keep the hard piece as a long term project and learn it slowly while plowing through a bunch of pieces at the right level. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. You sound great. ❤
I totally agree with you. I'm currently learning 2 pieces + I try to sight read very easy pieces (like the one in alfred's book for adult) ;) thank you for your kind message
@@hugooosjourney agree wit both of you. Now as a self-taught i try to learn Chopin Preludes and his Revolutionary Etude - it almost completely get me frustrated and depressed but my left hand release (i mean relaxation) so much so never released for all of my piano learning time!
Wow, thats definitly inspiring see you playing that nicely after 6 months! Receiving my this week :) cabn you tell how much you practised on average a day?
Hey that’s just my opinion, but lesrning a piece out of your skill level can definitely help you with things like rapid scales or arpeggios or whatever it is. It’s not a waste of time if your trying your best to improve. I personally only practice pieces I couldn’t play for a whole year and surprisingly that helped a lot with my piano skills. I feel like if the piece is not TOO hard and is just a little bit above your skill level it’s perfect.
Keep on, bro! I’m curious to see your future progress!!
Thanks ! I'll post the one year progress very soon !

haha thank you it's so encouraging !

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely try this out

Yes exactly! The keyword here is "Too hard". If you choose a difficult but not impossible piece, you can make impressive progress ^^
Is yamaha p45b keyboard similar to acoustic piano keys?
it's quite good for a beginner. But imo you need to train sometimes on a actual acoustic piano
you can try a song: Secret-jay chow
