Great concept! However, it is difficult to implement because it is unclear how you are playing each color block. Need to see your fingers on the keys.

Man , true words ❤❤❤❤ thank you ❤❤

Very very cool, relaxing ambient music, very very nice and beautiful. Many many thanks, inspirating 🙏😊 I'll try to bring it to life. GOOD LUCK ! 🍀

Titanic in the key of e would be nice

I'm rather surprised how long it is taking me to get smooth a simple tune like "Interstellar". I will sometimes even forget which note I'm supposed to hit. I have found that slowing down has helped to eliminate much of the frustration, but I want to play it at a normal speed, and I want it now! Ha ha!

I ALWAYS play too fast! Some of my best playing happens when I'm tired because I slow down 😅

My favorite scale...harmonic minor!!

Most top piano, drum, guitar, bass players to be in the top players in the world spend 6-10 hours a day perfecting their skills. Love the video! A metronome is also good to learn to keep rhythms in time until we have a natural sense of timing. Please keep the great videos coming!!

I would love it if you posted like 10 minutes of you improvising and using different techniques and melodies with color blocks

I started playing piano two years ago, I already learnt Nuvole Bianche by Einaudi and now i'm really into learning this other song from him thanks to you, i'm gonna try the advanced cuz it's just so much better to hear and would get me more satisfaction ^^

the production quality and content is top notch!!!

Great stuff once again. Mark 59 in Oregon, USA. Been messing with piano for years, guitar for 6 years. I really enjoyed how your color block ideas simplify harmonizing. I understand theory really well, but would like for you to explain when you play a melody, which note in the melody would get a new chord, or change start locations for a color block. Thank you.

As I've aged I've found that playing the guitar is more difficult and a little painful. The piano is easier on my hands. I saw that the Red Color Block uses the Blue Block pattern, so I never addressed the Blue Color Block, I just started with the Red Color Block. Perhaps I should visit this Blue Block to see if I want to use it for some rudimentary songs.

best motivational video ever!!

Amazing? Yes, I sound amazing, but not in a good way. Ha ha! I would think that now that I'm on 6th day that I'd be great by now. How long does this take?? Ha ha!

Hey! Could you tell me some tips if I’m not a beginner? I can play some pieces such as liebestraum, and would like to improvise. I already have some finger skills, how would I utilize these in the improv?

0:11 the chair squeak sounds like the angry birds theme

First video i saw was very interesting and intriguing. This straight up revealing. Your method not only good for piano players, but for digital producers who use MIDI only instruments. What i do when i make techno? I make a bunch of cool patterns and mix and match them for 5-8 min ocasionally slowing down. speeding up and changing dynamics.... This is EXACTLY the same, but with a piano. You just shuffle patterns around, transposing them to different apropriate keys and paint a melody on top. In a way it's more confusing in DAW coz you can't just shift your hand to different position, you actually need to adjust chord to min and maj manually, but hey! In MIDI we still need to spend alot of time strumming notes and adjusting velocity, so it's not a problem. You can even encoroporate modes and chromatism immediatley coz... you know, you adjust your notes anyway so why wait? Not like it would be so much harder to do dorian instead of minor or lydian instead of major... I hope you will go far, and your method gets recognition coz it's cool and rad and convinient :)

This should be good!

I think the color blocks is great for me to replace the complex bass line in piano piece. I should try them later. Also i like how you make a shorter video. Hope you have more views

great video, I think Happy Birthday is easy and you can do in the color blocks? maybe an idea for new video. Thanks

I play for 4 hours just have 2 or 3 music books ready.

Incredible. Love the storytime. Keep up the good work!! 💯

Considering I just started playing the piano, I play like a toddler. Ha ha! I think a parent with a young child would want to learn Raffi songs that are fun and interactive with kids.

She loves it 🥰 and also singing

So far, I've watched this video a half dozen times, and each time I understand a little more. I can imagine myself, when I get good at this, playing for hours to relax and meditate. Beautiful. Are you using only the standard Red Color Block with nothing added in the left hand?

Nice, how do you get the piano keyboard on the screen?

Very nice! It's nice that you teach music like this.

Good for you, congrats!! 💯

CONGRATS!!

You deserve all this 🎉🙌🏽❤

Could you tell me the fingering of the different color blocks? I’m not sure which to use :) thanks!!

color blocks at 3:20

The concepts you have are great, but for us beginners, it's very difficult to understand what you're doing with your hands. A hand camera would be awesome. Other than that, thanks for sharing.

At 3:10, it sounded a lot better. Was that because you were using the sustain pedal? Did you also include some varied speed and dynamics? Then you made it sound even better by adding your right hand to the mix. It would sure be nice to see both your hands and also the keyboard you show while you play. I imagine software like that must be too expensive at this time to get it.

9:40 I just want to point out that when a musician says, "There are no rules," they are often saying it more to themselves in the same way that an athlete says, "Pain is just a signal." Music is learned through the exploration of the boundaries that define different genres. Eventually, that training develops an intuition, and realizing the full potential of that intuition involves removing those learned boundaries. Just to be clear, it should not be taken as good advice before years of training have erected mental barriers.

Check it out, people.

I think you underestimate how much your knowledge of musical theory helps with this method! It takes a long time to develop that innate feeling of what "sounds good" next without understanding scale degrees and transitions. Anyways, awesome video. Hope you keep making more!

this is a great warm up. Reminds me of a drum rudiment, a bit like a paradiddle and 1 e & a cool

I also like that you count out the beats (8 beat count).

Amazing!!

Once I have the Color Blocks down cold, I need to learn about dynamics and speed.

Are you only using Color Blocks with your left hand or are you adding extra with your left hand? It sounds great.

9:27 the second chord after the C is an Eb major, not Bb major, in the original track. Just mentioning it.

I live in Kansas in the USA where there are a lot of farmers. I see them often. These farmers do everything needed to run their farm. They are amazing people. They fix their own equipment and machinery. It is common to see farmers with one or more fingers completely gone due to an accident while fixing some big machine. I've thought previously that it is sad that they can't play instruments like the piano. But lo and behold, Koen has a method to allow them to play. This is awesome!

What fingering would you recommend for the first one the "red left hand block"? Great video thanks dude!

My goodness, you're up early! Nice video.

I was wondering how we'd do waltzes with your method, and now I know. 😃😃

This could also be a good way to turn a classical repertoire of 20 minutes into 2 hours. - 5-minute classical piece that people recognize - 20-minute interlude of arpeggios that don't demand too much attention - 5-minute break - Repeat

Excellent video mate. Like your teaching style. Just subscribed
