.. 1. THIS IS NO piano but a keyboard. A piano has real weighted keys, strings, hammers etc. 2. you CAN'T learn how to play piano from a course online. YOu need to have physical contact from a teacher, who learns you how to move your hands, to move and held your hands, fingers, wristst, arms , knukkels, elbows, back, bottom, neck, head, how to move it. A teacher that continuously monitors your posture and movements. That's not what you can do. What you do is really dangerous and can lead to injuries to hands, wrists, arms, backs, necks, etc. You don't teach students solfege either: necessity. you can't control them, you can't hear them play, you can't see how they play. You are, in short, a bogus teacher, a dangerous teacher, a charlatan, an uneducated jerk with no real knowledge. you don't know what you are talking about. The first months are the most important. There, students learn everything for the rest of their piano career. You learn piano on an acoustic instrument. Not on a digital instrument. Reading notes, knowing rests, knowing tempi, being able to understand announcing in text, knowing how to understand Italian terminology, pedal use, agogy, etc. they can't learn from you. Stop this. You do more harm than good with it. You create fake pianists with poor technique who will never be able to learn to play the piano at a high level in their lives.
Fantastic
Gm Mr Mark how can I Singh up for your class
@@ianrichards5742 Hey Ian, all courses are available at www.pgnpiano.com you can simply join the 30 day free trial there.
great course
For most people, private, in person lessons in anything, are only really useful from an accountability standpoint. You have to be somewhere at a certain time, to prove you have done the work. Outside of that, you don’t REALLY learn anything in the lesson, because there just isn’t the time. Its effectively just a pit stop, to pick up the next learning mission. The real learning happens outside of the lesson. Since the age of fast internet speeds, if you’re disciplined and accountable, you can teach yourself pretty much anything, using videos. Its also much cheaper!
It's really helpful if you have some goal to work towards, even if It's just playing a piece for a teacjer after you've learned it to some degree of accomplishment.

False information
@@altamagna no uneducated idiocy!
@@user-xxxxxn Thanks for your considered and highly enlightening input on the matter. You’re superior education has produced a comment for us all to enjoy.
3:35 That explanation wasn’t “boring” at all. You are teaching us so it behooves us to listen to you. We appreciate you so much Mark!
Most welcome!! :) happy to hear you like it!
Mark is a great piano teacher! I watched several lesson videos on other channels, but Mark's lessons are the easiest for me to understand since I am a beginner with little understanding of the basics. Mark explains music theory like no other teacher I've come across.
This piano course appears to be the very best that I’ve seen over several years of following piano tutorials online.
Thanks so much Michael!
Agreed
Agreed
Mark, You were gifted with the amazing ability to teach, and inspire! Definitely worth getting the lifetime membership!
Wow, thank you!
Excellent way to teach piano to beginners like me, thanks for making it easy. God bless you Mark❤🙏🙏
You're most welcome and glad to see you enjoy it Edna!
you are the teacher I have ever listened to
Thanks I appreciate that!
Thank you so much Mark! You have such patience and extremely thorough. Best teacher hands down!
Used to play when I was little
My mother got me lessons and I loved it
Until I found out part of the agreement with my instructor and my parents was that all of her students would be required to participate/play a live set at a very busy mall / shopping center
All I wanted to do was play this really awesome measure from the Star Wars movies
Was forced to play Beethoven
I got so frustrated and anxious that I gave up playing entirely for the last 25 years
I most definitely have been wanting to get back into it and know I need to relearn everything
Im here for the journey
Thanks for posting this "course"
Hopefully Ill made some good progress
Self accountability is gonna be the biggest thing for me
Hey Shaka, that sounds like a weird deal. Happy you got to offload that here. Just letting you know that the person you were 25 years ago doesn't exist anymore today and you don't have to behave and think in the same way as you did then. Please only play piano when you enjoy it :) I hope you have lots of fun and start feeling better about piano soon!
I loved these lessons! You almost tricked me with the double sharps. I was really trying to figure it out. The only reason why I figured it out is before I got to that part of the lesson I was looking up the note names a few weeks ago to study and I had remembered seeing a double sharp. Tricky tricky!
You're simply genius. Great job.
I'm on Living Room Course 1.10 right now on our website. Your style of teaching is so thorough and clear, I'm really enjoying it.
I learn "Kiss the Rain", River flow in you, Hallelujah etc. From you. Thankyou so much sir.❤Love From India, Manipur, Kangpokpi dist. Dongsum Village😅😅 And here i m still learning from u 😍🤗
Sea mist is a beautiful song l will try to get it right. As a beginner
This is the best piano school around the instrument to study at home.
Thank you for this video.
Amazing style of teaching. Looks like I’m gonna have to sign up for the rest on your website and I’m not even mad about it. Thanks for taking time to make these videos!
Happy to hear the enthusiasm! :)
I'm beyond grateful thank you!
I just want to say that you are an amazing teacher and that speaks volumes in this TH-cam environment where there’s many wanting to teach but are lacking in all the ways you excel 👏 👏 great job 👏
You are very good at explaining. So thank you so much for that. 😊💙
I'm learning
Happy to hear it's beneficial to you! :)
you are the very best piano teacher 😍😊❤️🙏👏💪👋
You're not boring tbh.
you taught me how to play and understand piano and I'm having fun watching your videos at the same time i'm learning
for me you're amazing keep it up i'll keep following your videos
I'm grateful
I am glad to see that you are doing stuff like this again
Sir, maybe this is the time I should learn to play Piano now that I have found you teaching how to play Piano very clearly. Thank you so much.
Haven't finished.. But I've gone back and drilled myself like 8 times from 44:00 to 51:00.
If you're having trouble with the notes. Just repeat this until you start to catch on!
This is a Solid little lesson!
I came across this piece, I liked it and I truly nearly finish learning it. Thank you it is rather cool.
You are the best, excellent teaching. God bless🙏
You are an excellent teacher. You have given me hope!
Very interesting!
I very much enjoyed these lessons. Though I already know the theory, these lessons are a reinforcement to my basic knowledge. However, I play the guitar, and I'm learning to play the piano, so the lessons help me apply my theory to the instrument. I particularly like the lesson on learning the song Sea Mist, and I'm practising it a lot, and I'm even undertaking to write it for future reference.
So happy to see your video. Super helpful. I'll be watching until I get better playing . Thank you ❤
Brother you’re make my week 😲🙏❤️i never know if i will understand music ,today I finally get it👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✔️
You are such a good teacher! Thank you for this
You're most welcome!

Man, you have me and my descendants hope of playing the piano someday. Great guy🤝💪👍
Excellent presentation 👏
AMAZING 🎉
Thank you Mark for your generosity and passion in teaching a complete piano course. I keep going back to your piano lessons each week. I'm still struggling sometimes with the A B C D E F G note names. My eyes saw Do Re Mi (learned in childhood) but my brain tried switching to A B C ... Sigh.......
I'm an adult piano student at early intermediate level. However I do need to learn more on music theory, scales and chords.
Love your English accent ❤️ 👍
Greetings with deep appreciation from California 🇺🇸 🙏 💕

I always learn something new from watching your videos. I’ve been on holiday for the past three weeks and haven’t played a stitch. Watching your videos makes me eager to learn something new! I can’t wait to get back home to play piano again. Sending warm greetings from Miami
Happy to hear from you Nee Nee it's been a while! Hope Miami is treating you well. Greetings back from the cold and freezing Netherlands!

Bravo Marks Piano👌 thank you for helping make a good video for my Children this is full of benefit and value, you earned a good friend dear.

Where can I get the sheet music for Seamist?
I understand your method I just have to learn how to play😇
Good evening sir , please you are from which state, I want to take a piano class , your teaching is very helpful
So cool 😂😂❤❤❤
Loveely lesson, I just say do re mi fa sol la si do instead CDEFGAB so for meis quite strange accommodated it in my mind
cool
Great lessons, all stuff I mostly learnt back in high school so great revision, but… I thought you could’ve explained the 1 3 H homework task a little clearer, as even myself having covered basic scale theory, I still had to stop & think about the fact that there is no E# or B#, that they’re basically F & C. And the whole double # thing. I can’t imagine how confusing this would be to an absolute beginner. Aside from that, really great tutorial. You’re an excellent teacher.
Thanks Kristabelle, keep in mind though there are E#'s and B#'s they do exist, it's a music theory thing versus a piano thing. The note exists in music theory, it's just that we have to locate it on the piano, and therefore our mind likes to think of it as F & C.
Thanks for the video but I think for the H: it's half step not half note because half note means Minin and W: is whole step instead of being whole note because whole note means semibreve!
BR love ur teaching very Good realy I intersted to ur teaching Noble Parwez morgha Rawalpindi Pakistan
Hi Mark! Great stuff. Just curious. Where are you from? Your accent is so unique!
Wow this is so awesome, thank you so much. Where are you from? I love languages and can’t place the accent 😢. Thank you again for the lesson I will watch and try it
Thank you very much brother for all your teachings. I really appreciate that
Could you tell us about the origin of Sea mist please
So very good ! You make it seem possible for us mere mortals to actually be able to play something decent at some stage 😂 thank you 🙏
I've been trying to teach myself piano for the past couple years. I've had minimal success but i onlyknow the bare bones basics still and only knowing how to play a few songs. I figured I'd swallow my pride and go back to square 1 with this video. So far I'm enjoying the video but i can't seem to find part 2?
Hello good day!
Is there any part 2 tutorial in canon in d major?
Yes, I have multiple tutorials on Canon in D on my website, you can see all lessons here: www.pgnpiano.com/lessons
Omg yessir

You can find the whole 20 hour course on www.pgnpiano.com
I cannot find your course in the website you mentioned in the description box
You can find the course here: pgnpiano.com/videos/living-room-piano-course/
@@Marks_Piano Ok thank u. I emailed you regarding the fact that I am from India and want to avail 50% discount, to which I did not get any reply. Could you please answer that?
What is a F double sharp ?
a 'Sharp' simply means that you go half a note up. A Double Sharp is 2x half a note up. This means, that an Fx or F double Sharp is therefore the note we would normally call "G". However, in some Piano Scales, there is no "G" according to music theory, we have to call that particular note a F double Sharp. You can learn all about this in this course :)
