Written when he was 17, "Waterfall" is like an old friend to Jon. It
got him the cutest girl in his high school, made him the life of many
parties, and has been a big hit with pianists and piano teachers
alike. Jon says that in high school it was proof that chicks dig even
ugly guys with skills.
This tune has significant meaning to Jon and all of us at ThePianoGuys because It played a pivotal role in convincing Jon to commit to a full-time career as a pianist. An earlier video of Waterfall was done as a pre-TPG experiment. This version is ThePianoGuys' official video release.

I can almost play this fast, with maybe like 70% accuracy, and I've been learning since May... Man I feel slow. I honestly don't know to whom it will matter, but this song has come to mean a ton to me. I participated as an actor in my highs school's drama club for my last two years, having finished Senior year in June, and our club instructor is a wonderful, wonderful man. In technicalities, he's an excellent teacher and made each and every one of us an actor ten times better than when we started out. And he is unfailingly kind and so much fun. He's done a lot for each of us in our personal lives, too, and has had a particularly profound affect on me. Sometime last year, he came across me practicing on the performance piano in the school's auditorium, which I did every morning, and told me that I had a lot of talent, that he was impressed. Maybe a month later, I was practicing on the piano between our two rehearsals for one day and he called me over. He showed me this song and said "I want you to learn this. Learn it and play it for me before you graduate and I retire next month." So I did. Didn't have it mastered, but I had memorized and learned well enough for the time. So I played it at our school's talent show and he came out of the audience with tears in his eyes. I have never been so determined to learn anything on the piano as much as this song, never been so proud of myself for making another proud of me, so this song has a lot of meaning for me. And it's really beautiful besides. I play it every single day I have access to a practice piano on campus In college, and hope I will never forget it. Thanks, Jon Schmidt.
Dude you're lucky you can play that at all. I'm the only pianist in my local highschool music club and I am a slow learner. A piece like that may take me 2 to 5 months of practice. Got slow hands too
I am personnaly proud of you too, you are amazing! Thanks for sharing and keep playing the piano ❤️
Same in in junior high and I can’t play that fast but I’d I play slow I can get about like 90% accuracy
That. Is. Awesome.
@@pianoman4197 Always look got the small improvements never the big ones!
Jon, thank you for brightening up the world with your music.
I agree
Brings me back to the days in 2006 while on my mission (for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). I was with a missionary companion at one point who is also incredibly musically talented. He sings opera (is a true basso), and plays the piano and drum set.
When we had down time, he would play the piano. This was one of the pieces he would regularly play, and it was a joy.
I listened to a lot of Jon Schmidt's solo albums back then, and Walk in the Woods was one of em (the album upon which this piece is included). I believe it was track 4 on the album. Or was it the last track? It's been so long!
Anyway, great video. Lots of pleasant nostalgia! Thanks for sharing.
Mike, you're still a beast, dude
My neighbor used to play this. He was 13 years old. We lost him to brain cancer just 2 years after that.
Rest In Peace.
Tyler.
May he rest in peace..
That weirded me out for a second there. RIP
❤
So shouldn't we play this piece ?
for future reference, take selenium. its basically anti-cancer (use organically bound selenium)
I love when performers look sooo happy when they play. Jon Schmidt does just that - uses the God given talent that he has to give the world some really great music through a wonderful performance!
Thank you for writing this song! My brother bought the music, and played it as my wedding recessional! It's just beautiful. :)
That's my Beta brother! I have had the pleasure of him playing that song for us at the fraternity house more than once! He also plays upside down and crosses his hands. I was just telling my family about that song again because it's Christmas and it puts me in my Christmas spirit, so we all just watched it. I get goosebumps every time. Thanks, John!
This song feels like sunshine in a bottle. Happy inside and smiling outside.
This was played at my nephews wedding in 2021. It’s the first time I heard it. But now I will send to it all the time what a great melody
This song makes me cry every time I watch it ❤ it’s so joyous and reminds me of the grace that exists in our hearts
Holy Schmidt that was phenomenal.
i see what you did there
Ha ha, very funny. lol
lol
Taylor VL LOL
I see what you're going Jon about.
Adding this to my blast from the past playlist. For about 3-5 years Every LDS piano player played this song constantly everywhere when I was a teen.
One of the most joyous songs I've ever heard. It's impossible to be sad listening to this. Finding out that it was written when he was 17 makes it even more wonderful.
I just heard this on Pandora, and came over to TH-cam to watch it. I was so completely moved by this piece! The energy, the passion, just wow! I didn't even realize I had tears down my face, until the piece was over. THAT is true art. Thank you for brightening my day!
My daughter will love this ... bought it for her as a Christmas gift. Can't wait to hear her play it!
This is my all time favorite piece.
Anyone here 2024
I recently came across your video of a piano playing in a waterfall and I must say it was truly an enchanting experience. The sound of the piano keys blending with the serene sound of the waterfall was nothing short of magical.
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for your exquisite performance and for sharing it with the world. Your music has touched my soul and I am sure it has touched many others as well.
It is always a pleasure to witness such artistry and creativity, and your video has left a lasting impression on me. Thank you once again for sharing such a beautiful piece of music with us.
Have listened to this now for 2 years now , learned it on piano , and still love this song !! So many great memories . Thank you Jon Schmidt for bringing life into music today
I still can't believe he plays this harmony by just only his two hands!!!
Amaziiiiiiiiiiing , can't stop listening to shining shower of the piano sounds♥
seriously, who can watch this and not appreciate the talent this guy has! my uncle can play this song and he said it took him ten years to get it down by memory without making mistakes!
then hes not very good at playing piano
Menno Kuipers Like you could do better. Don't be a condescending ass and just praise the man for even playing a piano. So what if it took Jon 10 years to master a song? is he then also not good? So before you go telling someone else they aren't good, how about you try it yourself. Playing the piano isn't as easy. It takes time and what you put into it is what you get out. the man put 10years into it and now he can play it. That itself is an accomplishment worth noting. I think i made my point.
JianTheMan JTXC if it took jon 10 years to master a piece then he would not be one of the piano guys. And it doens't take me 10 years to even master a very difficult piece. 10 years is a VERY LONG TIME. if it takes you that long you're either not good ,don't spend much time playing, or you don't take it very seriously.
Menno Kuipers You don't know that? Clearly jon plays for fun and that's how it is meant to be. You're criticizing another dudes uncle for taking a long while to play a piece. So what if it takes him long. Serious or not give the man credit for even playing. Anyone who takes the time to learn a song deserves credit. Clearly jon didn't take 10 years to learn a piece but how would you know that? You don't! So before you CRITICIZE another man get your facts straight and have a little morality. Don't bother replying becuase you're just going to try and make it sound as if you are right because clearly in this situation, you aren't and so have some balls and accept that the man deserves his credit.
Menno Kuipers Well, keep in mind that my uncle has a full time job, and family of 5 to care for and various other priorities so finding time to practice and learn can be difficult. I am sure many people with more time on their hands or different priorities could learn it much quicker:)
This was the first Jon Schmidt song I ever learned on the piano. It is so much fun to play.
What continues to baffle me is that in the beginning it said "written at age 17." Jon is so incredibly talented!
Saw them in concert Friday night, and it was absolutely AMAZING! And this song live was breathtaking!
As amazing as Jon Schmidt is on the piano, he is no less amazing as a person! The Piano Guys are some of the greatest talents and people anywhere! Jon and Steve's talents are of divine origin. Keep up the great music!
I really love how the piano guys don't need impossibly fast or complicated technique to impress people all around the world. All you need is a passion for music
I cannot believe I’ve never heard this song. My 10 year old piano student mentioned today that she loves it and wants to learn this song some day… Did not know it was by my favorite modern composer!
I'm crying a lot here! I simply love your talent, thanks for existing and make our hearts happy! Jesus bless you ENORMOUSLY!
My favorite piece of piano music...ever. This can take me out of lousy mood and into a better one every time. And being a redhead, I love Jon's remaining hair ;-)
This song... I played this my junior year for my spring concert. I practiced for 2 months, OBSESSED with mastering this piece. When the time came and I got my clammy hands on stage, I played it perfectly. I never, ever played it again. Coming back to it I see it as beautiful again, but I'll never get the hours I spent breaking my fingers on the 300 octave reaches here. 😂
The world needs more people like the piano guys.
I wish I could play this. A beautiful composition. So uplifting.
Lol! 😅 Loved the smirk on Jon's face right after he finished; it was like, "Yep, that's it and I'm done!" 👏👏👏
More like: "Wow I wrote that such a long time ago, but it did not lose any of its magic"
I remember listening to this music at highschool hall in 2006(or 2007). I was an exchange student then and Jon came to the school in Utah and had a little concert there. Cannot remember what it was for though. Anyway, more than a decade has passed and I found that he's on TH-cam. So proud that I had chance to listen to his playing and got signed CD(bought one there). And this one's my favorite! Thank you.
I just got back from a BSA summer camp, and I met a kid (probably 12-15) who could play this on the dining hall piano, and it was one of the most amazing things I ever heard. I know what song I'm learning next!
Will Geers I'm 15, I'm about ready to put it up on my channel for my 200 sub special. Just released a preview today
All my hopes, dreams, smiles, tears, memories, and childhood contained in three minutes and thirty six seconds of pure wonder. Thank you to the moon for this masterpiece. 💚
This song has literally saved my life. There have been several times that I have been in the very depths of depression, and this piece of music (and some others) have pulled me back from the brink of falling into the abyss...
I love learning from you .You are so gifted to have this talent
OMG this is so great!!!!! He rocks!!!! I love Jon!!!!
I remember when I first heard his first songs back in the early 90's when my Dad met him. I got to meet Jon too.
To see him still working on his Beautiful Talent all these years later makes me so happy
I showed my mum this song, and without telling her the name, asked her what she envisioned. First thing she said was waterfalls ... amazing! blew my mind haha
you are such an amazing person! You inspired me to play piano. When I was six years old, my dad showed me one of your sons and I decided to become a great pianist.
After seeing John perform in 1996 (he did a back flip off the piano bench!), I learned to play this song and it has been a joy to me-and a crowd pleaser!-ever since. The sheet music book this song is in is the funnest, most accessible piano book I have come across in over two decades! I have gifted it to young pianists for years. Many of the songs sound advanced but feel early intermediate and are so fun to play! I’m overjoyed to see John’s incredible talent spread all over the world through the Piano Guys. Thank you. 🙏
What sheet music book is it?
Thank you so much. This song inspired me to play the piano way more and now I can play this song and some other songs that your wrote. Thank you so much 😍
That song is AMAZING!!! It just screams talent! I'm learning it right now and it's hard! 😍😍😍😱
+Sydni Shiner Me too! i finally got the whole thing down good but man, i'll never get it as good as him.
yeah me too...I don't think I will ever play it that fast!:)
+Sydni Shiner I am too
+Rhoda Albers don't worry. anybody can play it that fast. now, whether you can hit all the right notes at that speed without any slowdowns or speed bumps, that remains in question ;)
Cameron Davis that's true!:) I have small hands, so it's really difficult for me to hit all the octaves right!
I haven't had that much fun listening to a piano in a while. This is such an amazing song!
I just listened to this 4 times in a row... I seriously LOVE this song!!!!!
i might have... dont remember tho... ill ahve to listen to it :)
I love how Jon actually enjoys playing the piano and puts his heart into his playing unlike some other 'professional' piano players in bands and such who just play and not really put their heart into it
This brought tears to my eyes...he wrote this when he was a very young man. God has truly blessed him 🙏 How beautiful
OMG !!!! This is my favorite song from Jon Schmidt. My second favorite is Me and my Cello together something like that.
Wow I used to think this song was hard when I was little and always wanted to play it. And I forgot about this song for a while and just remembered it and so I thought I would look over it. And it was so easy to sight read! I hadn’t even realized how much better I have gotten at piano until now. Like the key is easy and the rhythm is pretty simple. But I could never imagine writing this amazing piece!
You can FEEL THE LOVE &Happiness in his MUSIC THANK YOU
It isn't that I just love Piano's and string's...but I love watching the singing bows and dancing fingers too!
I love this so much!!! The piano guys are incredible :)
Wie wunderschön du bist.... und was du empfindest.... Danke für dein Sein!!!!
Dieses Stück hat mir in den letzten Monaten unsagbar viel gegeben :)
Alexandra
After my husband and I said "I do" this is the song that played! This will always be our first so g as husband and wife!
I could so see this being played during a silent cartoon on Fantasia. Amazing.
I just discovered you Piano Guys a couple weeks ago, I love your music...the sceneries, the brilliance behind the pieces...I just have to say, I appreciate you sharing your gifts with us, and taking us far away from our everyday lifes. It is touching and inspiring to hear such gorgeous music :)
It's my favorite piano song!!!♡
+harin kim Same!
Same!
wow, absolutely beautiful!
I could spend all day by that waterfall in the background. It is so pretty.
Those 837 dislikes were accidental, they were exclaiming how good it was and completely on accident clicked the dislike. Being able to play this song memorized as its 10 pages, Piano Guys, you're AMAZING!
I wish I had a way of getting a piano in all of these cool places! :)
***** I think they have an helicopter, otherwise how they can do this? kkkk
Somehow I don't think my Lego helicopter would do the job
Deivid Vale Green screen?
D.J. Md In some other video they said they dont use green screen
no kidding...
a piano genius , wow , wonderful, I never saw such a talent
Just listen to this incredible music which proves: God is everywhere, every second of Time! Bless you and your phenomenal team Jon Schmidt! Keep putting the Word out through your incredible, soul-stirring, Spirit-inspired music! xx
you leave religion out of this!
edu Bear??? This government tore our First Amendment rights out of America's Constitution decades ago! Until I'm dragged away to a FEMA camp and never heard from again, I will continue saying and sharing what I think and how I believe, so help me God! ****
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”~John Adams, second President of the United States.
I'm French, and your constitution is retarded. And there's no religion on this music.
Shahku lu...if the thumbnail picture is representative of you and you being French, then I fully understand your perspective.
Nice composition. Excellent duet. Thanks. Love it.
They should start a piano moving company, now that they have all this experience.
Miss High Horse I can just imagine the completely random orders they would get, "next up I would require this lovely piece to be delivered to atop mount Everest. how you do so is entirely up to you.
😂😂
@@austindrapen8959 don't give them any ideas
This made me lol! Yes teach us your ways!
Yes
The rich and prominent sound of the bass in this piano makes me want to play music 24/7
Wow another great song by this guy. Jon Schmidt is now my favorite piano player!
Found the piano guys trough Lindsey Stirling, so thanks Lindsey! ^^
Me too!
and me too
I feel like a waterfall, rushing with happiness!
I used to be Mormon. But, I will always love Jon Schmidt! He is talented. I was blessed years ago to get to see him in a small concert at Copperton High School. Thank you for blessing us with your talents and peaceful serenity!
I have been playing this song on piano for months and I'm like "I think I FINNNNEEELLLYYY got it!" Then I come and look and am like NOPE
+Natie Patty Totally me too!!
+Natie Patty Haha, this comment was so funny! Anyway, I cross my fingers for you :)
+Natie Patty I've almost finished learning it too! I'm like, "HOW DOES HE TRANSFER SO QUICKLY AND CLEANLY?!?!?!?" He makes it sound so easy and I'm struggling to move my hands correctly to hit the notes!
ikr. I learned the notes in like two days but it took me forever to get the tempo
it's that last ending part that gets me every time :( sooo hard!
Your music was used in news of Japan.I was very glad.
You played in the spirit and creations of something greater than all of us, Thanks for reminding me.
This guy is a genius
LOVE THIS ALWAYS---"WATERFALL" --thank you Jon Schmdt! (great to play at a WEDDING! ) :)
This song is so magically powerful it’s almost like the symphony that water plays when it falls. A symphony we all do not hear if we don’t listen properly but which the water carries along its way. It’s strong and aggressive at some points, but powerful and happy at others. It is like a world wrapped in music, a world that we can’t dare to understand but just enjoy. Beautifully composed, Jon!
I have 13 years old and when I show this kind of songs to my friends they're like "Ugh thats Classic music how do you enjoy it? Pop is way better!" Everyone has the right to have their opinion but this is a beautiful song and it should show to people that just because it hasn't anyone singing or there is only piano it isn't bad! This is not my favouriye style of music but every style is good so:
People out there who say Classic music is crap, just stop, listen and enjoy.
Classical music is amazing! The Piano Guys are my favorite musicians ever, and Jon is my favorite pianist! Im so glad that I can listen to these videos and it will never be inappropriate or dirty in any way. The only time I like pop music is when they do a cover on it! I listen to them every day after school and it makes my day better!
to add another side to this pop is stupid in my opinion.
Broken english
@@alejandropianist6466 He's 13. English obviously isn't his native language. I suggest you try and speak in more than one or two languages like he most likely can
@@michaelw.4469 I speak 3 languages . . . (English, Spanish and Mandarin. Spanish being my native language.)
Puedo escucharlos mil veces, me encantan!
Every piece! Every time! They light up my day!
I've been practicing this and I'm still wondering how to get my hands to move this fast. Jon Schmit is such an amazing pianist.
WAIT HE WAS 17 WHEN HE WROTE THIS??? I'm 19 and can't even play Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star.
Yeah, I mentally compose music all the time, though not on this scale.
Well Mozart wrote his first symphony when he was 8, so...
We cannot really lump Mozart in with the normal talent. He was a prodigy. There are not many of those.
But can we not call Jon a prodigy then? A non-Mozart prodigy at least?
btw i am 9 i started at march by that i mean piano lesson and i already know a few songs including twinkle twinkle little star btw good luck on your career
I've ALWAYS wanted to learn how to play the piano. I love every single instrument that there is. It's one of the most beautiful ways someone can express themselves. Music is just GENIUS!!! I've watched this video at least 1,000 times and just last night I came across it. Lol BRILLIANT!
I love all of their music videos especially the landscapes..
I regret that I have but one "Like" to give for this video
Jeff Thomas no kidding
hack my account, then you can give two
Why does that sound like a Thanos quote when it’s a Nathan Hale quote
Maestro! A new Maestro discovered... and they're few! He's a real one. I am a pianist, I bow to him !
Lindo, perfeita performance!
Do seu Fã no Brasil..
The sound quality is amazing! It's like there's a piano right in my lounge room
This guy has to be the most talented pianist I've ever come across. Words can't describe how much I love it!
I wish they would list their shoot locations in the description. So many beautiful places!
I wish I could have piano lessons with you guys
8 years later, and I still love this. Thank you for being so awesome
I have the sheet music for this song, and it's one of my favorite songs to play on the piano!
Lol that smile at the end.
Jon, I just love this song. Thanks so much for playing it at the concert last weekend. I sooooo enjoyed hearing you play at Chastain. It was an experience I will never forget. And remember beauty is only skin deep. You both have an amazing God-given talent. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! # 1 fan!
Keep it up!
For good mood!
Great music, great scenery, exquisite craftsmanship. John was not only an outstanding musician, but also a talented composer. I am in awe.
Beautiful :')
Wow, today my teacher has given me this song and is REALLY beautifl😉
A really fun song to play and one of my favorites. My uncle used to play it every morning by memory and now I play it every morning by memory! So you might say this song brings back emories
When they said: You can't wear an all blue ensemble while playing a piano near some crazy waterfall. Jon said: Hold my non-alcoholic beer.
