You may be good happy piano but you need to use that ear to mix your videos a little better buddy. I really couldn't hear what you were saying.

Thank u bro, that changed me. I practice Nocturne in C sharp minor but i kinda got stuck at playing it "wobbly" now im going to practice better

BANGER! (づ ◕‿◕ )づ 🎹

Don't worry. I won't take your word for it.

What was the piece that was being played at the wedding in the beginning of the video?

great video

when I used to take lessons (I did 7 years) I had to play so many Bach pieces and I absolutely HATED it 😭😭😭 I swear I wanted to punch the man for creating such pieces.

Me getting a simply piano ad in the middle of this video💀

Pathetique movement 3?

I love ur content bro, LOVE IT

The background music is too loud I couldn’t hardly hear his or focus on what he is saying to be honest.

Well nothing against this advice for what its worth but all this amounts to one way to get "good" at piano. If you don't like the sound of these ideas don't despair there are many other paths. Been playing for over 50 years this guy can do things i can't or dont and i bet the same works in the other direction. If you want to play Chopin and Debussy this is probably good advice along with invest in private in person lessons with the best teacher who will take you on

Thank you for the advice in this video. That said, the audio in it is not at all good. You start by being drowned out by the piano music, then your voice gets so loud, every pop is over emphasized, then your voice just disappears again into the background and words become noise salad. Please work out the quality issues in post, and perhaps invest in a decent mic and pop filter. You have some great information for what might just turn into a great channel, but the audio issues are incredibly distracting. Again, great recommendations ... I'll incorporate some of what you suggested into my practices, so thanks for that! Wish you well on your YT journey, man.

What is the melody called from 4.00 ? Great video btw

These were great tips. I agree with everything you said. As someone who is teaching themselves I can concur that this seems pretty accurate

saving u 7 wasted minutes: Speed, clean sound, good sound comes from *much, *much, MUCH! more than just playing slowly, clomsily, erratically, and injuring yourself in the process. Its coordination, MENTAL agility, relaxation, note-concept grouping.. combined movements, musical awareness, patiencce, humility, post-physiological recovery, new neuronal connections and experience that will bring all of that. watch oter youtubers who can actually *play* and KNOW what they are talkin about

How hard do you think Beethoven fur else is?

Yes, a video on Bach alone 🌹

How hard is Chopin's Funeral March? Besides Rachmaninoff's famous C sharp minor Prelude, which other piece from this composer would be "accessible"?

How hard are these pieces? Liszt Chasse Neige Liszt Spanish Rhapsody Ravel La Valse

how should i know in witch level i am currently sitting? i can play waltz in c shar minor by chopin (not perfectly), and some tricky passages like the opening of the third movement of moonlight sonta and the beggening of winter wind, with some struggle off course.

I find myself learning the best and see the logic in a piece the best during early hours/morning. But I play the best in the evening hours :D So I try that as a schedule. This was a great video. Thanks so much for it.

How hard do you think nuvole bianche and autumn leaves?

Great video. How difficult would you rate this piece by Keith Jarrett - Country? th-cam.com/video/nfhnHK6aIyM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MichaelLucke

do you have anything but blah blah you are as boring as the BBC

This was a useful and informative video. Your channel is so underrated

my mom has the tenacity of a freaking rock and would start at the END of a piece, playing the last measure until it was perfect, then work backwards, adding the other measures one by one. it took forever but by the time she was done she was almost guaranteed to have it memorized at least temporarily. I wish I had her stubbornness 😂

How hard would u say Scriabin op38 valse is?

amazing video! coming from a beginner, please make a video on how to develop general reading skills quickly!

Great Video!!! Keep it up.

So now there is "no bullshit" alpha male guides for piano?...

I started learning near the end of February and I need to make progress 😭

Thank you very much! Great advices, edited in a great video!

play bach only if you enjoy Bach, otherwise you're going to hate your life. If you're someone who loves jazz, play jazz; if you love what you play you'll practice for hours no effort. I dont know why the "just play more bach bro" advice is so popular. Sure, it's a good way to practice hand independence but shits boring as hell if you're not into baroque music.

Yeah I really should have been more humble… did two weeks of basics. Went on to half learn a bunch of songs. Learned my first song that was a little hard. Moved on to the next song before 100% getting the last one down and now I can’t play it anymore. 6 months into piano and I’m 75% done with this pretty hard song that was and (still somewhat is) beyond my skill level. It honestly sounds pretty good, it sounds quite a better than what I see most others playing at 6 months playing BUT not even 1 full song fully learned in 6 months was definitely not the way to go hahaha…

All music must 1: speak (in it's own language), 2: sing, and 3: dance. These things seem to have not been brought out in any way by the pianists you have presented in this video.

great video and 100% true.

Beethoven is GOD!! 🎹🎹👊🏾✨😈

Is your technique mastery course still in the "pre-sales" state; or is the course material available immediately?

This video is really good advice for early intermediate players, but the way it is made bro... I have never heard anyone speak about reading music so dramatically.💀

The most important factor is having incredible passion for the craft and an unquenchable thirst to play. This grants you incredible musicality and even if a performance is not technically perfect, the listener will still be in awe.

Thanks, but now you just have to recommend a piece of music or collection of works for levels of learners.

Song name at 4:06?

Most practical musical advice I've heard in ages! Especially the point of music reading as opposed to sight reading. It's akin to pronoucing a word you have never heard, never seen, and do not understand. Highly impractical. Writing out fingerings and then using them? Tablature? These are concepts that are highly practical yet frowned upon by teachers for some odd/elitist reason. I've never become a proficient sight reader but I do understand how to apply musical concepts because of my understanding of the staff. Not a piano player just a guitarist. The basic building blocks are the same. I've played for people for decades. Never been asked to sight read. Have been asked to play songs I've never "learned" all my life. Here's a clue. Nobody has sheet music of their favorite song. They will only ever request a song that you don't like, don't know or don't care about! Seriously though this is foundational advice. Keep up the great work my man!. Now on to some Bach! Greetings from New Mexico!

yes.

I disagree with your last tip because I think as long as you practice very carefully and take your time it's okay to work on a piece that's too hard for you to perform currently, because it gives you an idea of what to work towards. The other thing I disagree with is that I believe you can memorize multiple pieces at once. I do it all the time and I don't think it hinders me at all, I just get bored if I only work on one piece at a time until I perform it and then move on to the next one. Otherwise, I think you shared all very solid and extremely helpful concepts that definitely make the difference between a serious musician and an amateur.

You could have made this more concise and actually shared much more of the ‘how’, rather than so much making promises and dissing other TH-camrs.

my dream piece was fig leaf rag, there am i playing it perfectly now

Do you live in Belgium?

3:20 I find it hilarious that you mock others for clickbaity titles while you yourself are selling some bullshit course for 97 dollars. You spend 7 minutes talking about some "miracle" technique that will borderline instantly transform your playing, while never once saying what it is. Your whole part about finger strength is also complete bullshit. If it was really all about strength, 82 year old Martha Argerich would not be able to perform some of the hardest classical piano repertoire out there. Some Actual Advice From Someone Who Isn't Selling A Bullshit Course: The key, as even he admits, is playing with as little tension as possible, which in turn means using as little strength as possible. (Not turning your fingers into hammers lol). To get a louder sound, use your weight and larger muscles. Using larger movements for slow soft passages also helps in gaining precision for a smooth consistent sound. Wrist motions are essential to play fast. When all you use are your fingers, you will tire out easily and lack coordination. When practicing, you must be brutally honest with yourself about which parts feel awkward/inconsistent, and address those sections individually, working out the specific wrist and finger motions instead of skating through the section every time. There's too much to list in a single youtube comment, so what I'm really saying is to GET A TEACHER!!! They will tell you all of this and much much more, and it is essential if you want to build up good technique. Also, the hard truth is that professional pianists have been practicing 4+ hours a day since they were children, and even then only the most talented make it. There is no "trick" to catapult yourself to the top, just a long list of adjustments and optimizations that you can make (and learn about for free often times from youtube videos) that over time will have a gradual positive affect on your performance. I have been taking piano lessons for 11 years (with admittedly questionable practice habits for many of those years) and while I have achieved an advanced level, I still am far from being able to properly play many of my "dream pieces".
