Bitesize Piano: Hi Francesca. I checked out your website and it’s very impressive. I’m just a beginner and can barely read sheet music but wanted to learn my first classical piece. I did it thanks to you and finished learning Bach Prelude in C Major from your RUclips channel. I was wondering if you have a email I can email you a video of me playing it? Also another thought. It might be fun if people are up to it and post people playing your songs after they learn from your tutorials, perhaps a page on your webpage for piano students from all over the world learning. I’m excited to share my excitement of learning my first classical piece because of you. Just an idea or thought to consider. What is your email? I didn’t see it on your webpage? Again thank you so much for teaching us all. You are such a wonderful teacher! 😊🙏
Thank you so, so much. Adult beginner started in March and doing plinky-plink pieces from a widely-used kids beginner book - aaand just wanted something more, something inspirational - and this is it! Have really, really loved learning this. Started this 5 weeks ago, am taking it slow, doing a bit each day and halfway through, being careful to make sure I use the right fingers and all. But can now finally play something that sounds decent(to me - am prob murdering it)! Am so grateful to you. Piano teachers for adult beginners take note. Yes, we need to learn how to play - of course we do.. but we also to be inspired too!
What I love the most about your tutorials is that you take the time to show the fingering with your actual fingers as they move across the keys. This is so important for adult learners! I recently started practicing again for meditation and focus. Thank you! 🫶🏽🫶🏽 I also love how you name/call out the keys as you touch them. Beautiful free tutorial! 🥰🥰👏🏽👏🏽
This is one of the arrangements that I have been wanting to learn!! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial and teaching it at a pace that is understandable to a 56 year old novice!!
Just saw a video of a lovely man playing this piece to a blind elephant in Thailand. I've had a keyboard for years but have never learnt how to play. Your tutorial has given me the confidence that I could possibly be capable of learning this piece (with lots and lots of practice) 😀Thanks very much!!👍👍
Thank you 😊 I’ve been playing your tutorial every night now until I learn to play the whole piece. Tutorials like these are very valuable because you get to learn the finger placement as well as the sheet music.
Wow wonderful....been playing this piece for over 10 year off and on. Self taught from RUclips. Your video is the best instructional so far, thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I am just starting to learn this piece...I am studying the music sheet at the moment...your video gives me insight as I am a piano beginner. Have a great day!.
Thank you for this lesson I tried to play it before but the left hand just confused me so much I gave up I can now play juat the beginning but it is a start!! Thank you 🙂
Than you so much -what a brilliant tutorial- great patience and love how you explain it with what notes to play, as I cant read music that well. When you hear it played in concert it sounds so grand and epic but once you have deconstructed it it's quite a manageable piece to play. Then it comes down to the individuals interpretation of how it all flows together.
Thank your for the Bach Tutorial. I think yours is the best. I am learning this piece at the moment and found your tutorial really helpful as I was having a few problems with the end bit. Could you please do Passacaglia Handel-Halvorsen ? I know there are other tutorials of this out there, but I haven't found one I like and I think you are the best teacher.
thank you so much for this helpful tutorial!! this piece was harder than expected - it took me 1.5 hours just to get through the first 3 lines 😅 i really need to work on my sightreading.
Wonderful, thank you and especially thank you for the sheet music, which helped enormously. (I transcribed by hand note for note... can't read both clefs at the same time, but maybe one day!)
This was amazing! Always wanted to learn a classical piece. Will start from here ❤ Also, could you check out Tedy and do a tutorial on any one of his songs? Thanks!!
I got to about bars 22-23 and thought I was playing something wrong, then I realised my sheet music has an extra bar! I googled it and found out all about the "Schwenke" bar. Interesting! I think I'm going to carry on playing it with the extra bar now that I've learnt it that way.
This video is supremely helpful and I thank you for sharing it. 2 questions - why is this named Prelude in C Major when it contains sharps? I'm sure there is some reason for it that is beyond my current understanding. Also, what level would you say this piece is? Being self taught it can be difficult to choose pieces to learn in a logical order.
Hello Francesca: I'm not sure if I should ask my questions here or log into my account which I signed up for yesterday. When starting with the left hand, why not place finger one on the E and the third finder on the C. That way the fingers are on the keys they'll play and don't have to move around? Also, at the beginning of the play with the left hand, why are the C and E held down? Is there something in the music that indicates this? I slowed this down to half speed and it's easier to follow during the learning process. Thank you so much, Bob
I'm an adult beginner (sort of) and apparently this is supposed to be one of the easiest classical piano pieces to learn for beginners, so I decided to start with Prelude in C Major. I am nervous! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Hi - thanks Quick question. On the music sheet i see the second note of the left hand in esch bar is “played” as the 1st note on the right hand. However, that’s not how it’s played. So my question is why does the music sheet appear to have these notes played simultaneously?
Sometimes it’s more reader-friendly to ‘borrow’ a stave for a few notes instead of creating ledger lines or changing the clef. This is very common. The key is to look for the direction of the note stems. They are not played simultaneously, they are not in line with each other and there is a semi quaver rest to show the next note is played after a semi quaver beat.
Just checking comments and filtering the ones from those who aren't subscribed, and RUclips tells me you aren't subscribed! Please consider hitting that button! :)
Question for someone who doesn’t play piano maybe dab a bit here and there how long would it naturally take them to learn this? Took me 2 hours while I’m trying to pass a panic attack. Reach 4 parts and playing with my eyes shot… everyone telling me to learn it but I’m too old with short fingers and I don’t know how to read notes. Just go with the ear
I am new to piano and sheet music in general. but in bar 6 only the first note of the trebel clef has # in front of it so do we assume it for every note in the bar or it that a typo of some kind. Thanks
In the first you teach 3 notes for right hand but on the sheet it looks like 4 notes, it's my first day so I'm brand new, can you advise and clarify please? Would really appreciate.
Sorry! I keep accidentally hitting the 'DISLIKE' button when I try to keep my screen from going to sleep while practicing. I really like your tutorial so ignore at least 4 dislikes, they were probably me by accident.
I really don't see the purpose of this. Without explanation reading all the notes excruciatingly sliwly. A person who reads notes reads anyway, who can't read won't after you play anyway. I was hoping for more insight of the chird progression etc.... pity. Wasted 30 min.
😂 this is a TUTORIAL on how to play it, not a theoretical analysis. Perhaps read the title and description before watching something for 30 minutes, and then refine your search to find a video specific to what you’re looking for. Don’t post a shitty comment on a video because you’re expecting it to be something it doesn’t claim to be. Have you read all the other comments that say how helpful this is? This is a FREE lesson for those who want to play this piece, and perhaps want extra reassurance that they’re playing correct notes. Bore off with your pointless comment 👋🏻

I'm sure there is some reason for it that is beyond my current understanding. Also, what level would you say this piece is? Being self taught it can be difficult to choose pieces to learn in a logical order.
They’re called accidentals, which are altered notes that don’t belong to the scale/key signature. I’d say this piece is around grade 2/3 level

Yes the accidental lasts for the rest of the bar unless cancelled out
@@BitesizePiano oh thank you so much
Love u its useful. do u recommend for begginers?
I probably wouldn't recommend this one for beginners.
@@BitesizePiano I need to know wich tempo is this piece played? I saw that is aleggro in 112, is it truth?
thanks a lot for this many of them doint give the full lesson , then force us to sup to the channel t oget the rest lol anyway this a lot.
Erik Satie please. have you done any video tutorials on his music?
Yes I have - just search through my channel!
in sheet music i am ref there is an extra bar between 23rd and 24th which goes G Eb B C Eb B C Eb , is it wrong?
do we have to use same fingers to play the keys
Ideally, yes
Just want to know, do I need to use sustain all the way?
Not at all actually!
9:14
In Bar 3 is that a G7 chord?
In the first you teach 3 notes for right hand but on the sheet it looks like 4 notes, it's my first day so I'm brand new, can you advise and clarify please? Would really appreciate.
I’d start with something more simple, this isn’t suitable for complete beginners. The Left hand note is notated on the treble clef
