I used to play piano but I had to stop due to swimming, this is inspiring me to start again

that is an incredible story!
Comment from : @charlesmay8251

Do you think I also should learn by learning specific music pieces or should I learn the biggenings things like that
Comment from : @victoria-r7w4o

I understand your point of view, but playing music means much more than just pressing the keys ! You have to acquire some knowledge and some technique to be able to colour your sounds, make them breath and sing, give them a soul in order to express something and to express yourself as well By the way, what you call piano is not a real piano and you can’t really make progress beyond a certain point on such keyboards The worst is that you’re going to take bad habits that are very difficult to change afterwards Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no miracle

Wow that’s amazing , I’ve literally just started myself age 51and purchased an electronic piano a couple of days ago Can you play hans zimmers interstellar or time? I love both of these amazing themes ?
Comment from : @davidcollins4227

if you're not reading sheet music you're just going to forget the piece and not be able to play it anymore You also take forever to learn a new piece if you aren't reading sheet music You're progress is misleading It's good though that you at least mention it on this video So props to you! Spend a couple of years not looking at your hands and reading sheet music you'll really feel the joy of playing the piano

I'm doing the same and this sounds valid ngl Idk music theory and I'm not really focusing on it as much as I should, but I teach myself my favourite songs on the piano Not because I want to learn the instrument, but because I want to be able to play the songs whenever I don't have music readily available Sounds dumb but yeah If I did this everyday for a year I'm pretty sure I'd be able to play any piece given prep time within a year I'll probably be really bad at improv and an even worst artist (as a whole) but I 100 would be amazing at covers

So many gatekeepers in the comments missing the point of this video: have fun
Comment from : @kenjammin

What a lot of people here don't understand is that everybody has a different goal, and for some It is to just know how to play the pieces they like, and not necessarily become an incredible musician And, maybe the goal changes along the way and the person does get bad habits etc But if that's what it takes to love music, go for it That's what matters, and not to be perfect

Thank you for sharing your Piano Journey brThats so inspiring brYou are the example for „everything is possible“ ❤✌️ brGreatz from Germany
Comment from : @christophschumacher640

Learning like this and studying theory at the same time sounds like a really cool approach to learn the piano! (At least to me)

Tried that, didn't work for me

(NO SHOUTING) b---THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS WHEN LEARNING TO PLAY THE PIANO IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE PIANO WITHOUT LEARNING HOW TO READ A SCORE, AT ONE POINT IN THE FUTURE, YOU WILL REGRET DEARLY AVOIDING TO MAKE THE VERY BIG EFFORT THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE ABLE TO FLUENTLY LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO READING A MUSIC SCORE SYNTHESIA MIGHT GET YOU INTERESTED AT LEARNING TO PLAY THE PIANO BUT IT IS NOT THE PROPER WAY TO BECOME A GOOD PIANIST, IT IS JUST A MOTIVATOR I COULD SAY AS LONG AS TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT THE PROPER WAY TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO!!!/bbrb---IMAGINE YOU DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AND IF I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU: "LISTEN, I AM GOING TO TEACH YOU TO SPEAK ENGLISH JUST BY HEARING" YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO READ ANY DOCUMENT IN ENGLISH BUT YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK SOME ENGLISH OVER TIME YOU WOULD TELL ME: "WOOOH, IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE, I SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO READ A DOCUMENT IN ENGLISH" AND I WOULD TELL YOU: "I KNOW BUT IT WILL TAKE TOO MUCH TIME TO LEARN NOW TO READ WRITTEN ENGLISH!" YOU WOULD TELL ME: "I DON'T CARE, I WANT TO ALSO BE ABLE TO READ A DOCUMENT IN ENGLISH" THIS IDEA IS THE SAME WITH RESPECT TO LEARNING HOW TO READ A SCORE WHILE LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO/bbrb---HAVE A GOOD JOURNEY AT LEARNING TO PLAY THE PIANO/b

Comment from : @danielthomasmurphy3687

i can hear the danish accenttt :p anywho great video I'm 18 and wanna start learning how to play piano so bad- I've always wanted to know how to play an instrument
Comment from : @User-o3m2m

As a rank beginner myself (2 months) I find it much easier to learn from sheet music than from synthesia (Reading the music especially helps with the timing between the left and right hands) I can't sight-read, but I can figure it out; and I just learn short passages until I have the whole piece If one starts out with something like the Alfred's All-In-One Adult Piano Course book, you'll learn everything you need to know, and can go at your own pace and make fast progress Winging it with synthesia will almost definitely cause you to establish bad habits which will be hard to breakand missing out on the fundamentals and theory will really stunt your growth
Comment from : @bobbylibertini

You’ve inspired me, thanks Wanting to learn how to play in 2025 Love the piano
Comment from : @colin4215

This was great, thanks!
Comment from : @FreePianoLessons

You are doing splendidly I wonder if there are music teachers making comments After all if we all do likewise they might see their tuition fees dwindling 🤣🤣 I’m awaiting a keyboard to refresh my skills having not played the piano for many years Yes I’m doing it online Well done 👍
Comment from : @AB-re1qs

Fundamentals of playing the piano is reading, technique, and music theory If you just learn a bunch of songs you like you will always struggle to learn a new piece of music because your knowledge and skills will be lacking making it harder and take a lot longer to learn There are really no shortcuts to becoming competent at playing the piano, just lots of study and practice in a structured way will always produce more long-lasting results
Comment from : @cyberphonic

thank you
Comment from : @Datacustic

what is the model or the name of your pioano ?, it looks very nice
Comment from : @Medtana

I love this but I also want to be able to read sheet music Learning this way teaches you the pieces, which is awesome, but you can’t read the traditional sheet music to play it
Comment from : @adaumus

Hey man, a month ago I've bought Arturia KeyLab Mk3 to learn how to play in 48 Your enthusiasm kicked me out of bed right now to play something 😃brThanks!
Comment from : @libor-vitek

My learning was way faster when I learned chords and their inversions

Good video
Comment from : @MSordernature

Piano is actually a percussion instrument, not a string instrument 👍
Comment from : @Takianagi

great vid! the true question is , have u ever played a real piano?bri see its all digitals The thing is u dont truly realise how bad ur pedaling and articulation is on digitals It ''masks'' most of our mistakesbrI say this from experience when i purchased an acoustic things changed way more
Comment from : @Pieces_Of_History2

Hi, you did it YOUR WAY simply because you've forgotten the 'in between': a piano course on INTERNET THAT'S what AI did and honestly: I WOULD STILL RECOMMEND YOU TO DO THAT WHY: because from what I've just watch you doing - which granted isn't too bad at all - I nonetheless can easily tell that you've SKIPPED certain VITAL INFORMATION which for sure down the road WILL come back to haunt you What I mean is: those pieces you're playing: AI play them too The difference: AI CAN SEE THE 'GRAMMAR' WHICH MAKE 'MEMORIZATION' A MILLION MORE EASY That is: YOU SEE NOTESAI SEE PATTERNS When AI make a 'grammar-mistake', I'm like: HOW could I be that stupid: of course it should be a B-flat or G-sharp; of course it should be a MAJOR/MINOR CHORD I'm warning you: YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DISCERN WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN ORDER TO KEEP GROWING You CAN'T go on 'MEMORIZING' And by the way: to your knowledge: FANTASSY-IMPROMPTU of Chopin is: ALL GRAMMAR HEAT MY ADVICE: TAKE AN INTERNET COURSE YOU'LL NEVER REGRET THAT I'll leave it there!!
Comment from : @gunorijssel7987

"Which keys to press" Sigh Stunting on the keyboard using video gaming skills I suppose if all you want is to be able to execute a few impressive piecesbrI used Skoove for two weeks and moved on to using adult instruction books, which do teach a bit of theory, nothing like the intimidating graphics you used here Even that method is geared to goal-obsessed adults So, you're playing blues pieces and syncopation too early Ultimately I chose to pay a fluency coach for a deep foundation in basic musicality via super-gradual child-like practice before I even start traditional theory-based performance training I began this journey at age 66 To each his own
