![Learn Your Piano Notes FAST [10 Minute Exercise]](/img/tr.png)
Sorry Joe, this is the lesson where I first saw the socks. Disregard my other posts. I’ve since purchased a pair almost as cool as yours and I do believe my Sustain technique is improving. Not to mention my foot is warmer. Great video Joe, was a big help.
When you showed the "naturally" hand-foot coordination, thats so - so myself, and this video really answer my question!
5 years later I am watching this video, I’ve been learning piano with extreme progress very fast due to my music playing on the guitar and understand the logic of how instruments work. But the pedal had stumped me a little and this video was all needed to understand the fundamental of the pedal. You’re the best!
2:20 to practice it
and this is how i subscribe to this channel after 2minutes of a single video! very clear, well showed! keep up the good work
Glad you liked it! Check out a few other vids on my channel aswell.
Ok... I'm a beginner kinda intermediate pianist, and I have to say that your channel really helped me A LOT! I always was looking for a video that really shows me how to use the sustain pedal because I always did it wrong, but bro... Thanks a lot man, keep it up, I really love your videos and I really enjoy them watching and practicing with you, God bless you man, thanks you so much you don't know how this channel helped me xD, sorry for my bad English btw, I don't speak English very well, another thing is that I never comment in any video but man, I needed to do it for this one xD, thanks again and don't stop making videos bro! I love them!
Thanks so much for the kind words Robert. I have a big plan for this channel so make sure you stick around and check out all the other videos. Keep going, keep playing! :)
I like the sock
stripy socks rule all!
Many thanks, I have been researching "damper pedal symbol in music theory" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Danilliam Illustrious Dominance - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to learning piano fast minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my brother in law got amazing success with it.
Just wonderful, I have been researching "what is the middle pedal on the piano?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Danilliam Illustrious Dominance - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for discovering how to learning piano fast minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "what is the best piano pedal exercise center" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Danilliam Illustrious Dominance - (search on google ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to learning piano fast without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
This is glorious, I've been looking for "what do the petals on a piano do?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Danilliam Illustrious Dominance - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
This is the best video I have seen on how to use the pedal. Other videos show you at normal speeds which is not helpful for beginners, they need to slow it down like he does in this video.
This video changed my life. I am currently learning piano/ keyboard.
Thanks very much for you introduction on the sustain pedal! I have watched half a dozen videos on the sustain pedal, but your video is the only one what really explained how to properly use the pedal, the reasoning behind it, and some excellent exercises to become more proficient with its use. Thank you again.
When you started to say "and the error that my students do a lot" I thought "it will be my error, I bet" and it was the same ahah I was pressing the key and the pedal at the same time creating the gap, now I'll train like you teached! Thank you! :)
I first tried this exercise about 2 weeks ago and was terribly disappointed at myself for not being able to get that "UP-down" in sync with even one hand, to the point that I kept avoiding to give it another try ever since and focused instead on doing some extra reps on the more basic exercises.
Now today I thought maybe it's time to finally try and push myself into the scary pedal territory again and guess what? All but nailed it on the first try!
This is unbelievable.
Thank you Joe!
This is so great! Beginner here! Always understood the theory of how to sustain pedal, just couldn't get the coordination going! With this exercise I finally get it right! Gonna try applying it to Gnossienne no 1 now which I just learnt. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the explanation on Sustain Pedal : ) Great Tutorial (Y) Keep up the good work
Relearning piano in my 60s after many years. Just reintroduced myself to the sustain. I don't remember having any issues with it as a kid, but you nailed it - gaps, and I couldn't figure out why. DUH! Thanks!
You are the first person that really helped me in using the pedal correctly! Thank you for having two cameras and also doing the chords repetitively.
You're very welcome Cameron!
Me too. No hashtag.
Thanks much for the excellent method, including the enjoyable "song" to go with it!
I was looking for this kind of advice! thanks you so much it helped a lot
Great share, you have a great teaching style.
As a newbie, it was mind blowing to me why they call this the damper pedal when it mostly seemed to sustain. When my piano instructor first showed me what was going on, I was laughing because it worked opposite of what I always thought it was used for (I am a seriously adult learner, been around a bunch of decades).
Getting that precision time down is still a bit of a challenge, by everything does sound much better with it when done right (accidentally right, or not).
You made this quite easy to follow. Had helped me a lot. Thanks heaps:)
I just bought a Roland DS88 and also bought a sustainer pedal. This has been the easiest lesson to understand in how to use the pedal! Thank you!
And I subscribed. Love your channel!
Excellent! Thank you so much. I finally know the steps on how to use the sustain pedal correctly.
Fantastic! That was of course the plan Fitri. Glad you got something out it! :)
Thanks! Now I have it clear. Starting practicing during the video (pause and play several times) until i was follow you. Thanks again!
Well ima practice on my dead or broken piano but it’s pretty fun doing this if you put your mindset in that way thank you for the help ima practice this whenever I play on the dead piano so I can show my skills whenever I go to my friends or cousins house to show my new learned skills lol but again thank you for the help
Excellent sustain pedal instruction. Thank you!
Just watched your video,at last thanks so much ,now I can understand how it’s used,please put up more videos ,your a great teacher.
Awesome. I have quite a few now so do check them out.
you helped man 😊thanx
4:19 is the solid advice for me. the note might have been played just a little longer than what it should be, but holding down the key for just a tiny extra time helps a lot
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the video.
MASTER!!! Thank you very much :-)
You're an excellent teacher! Thanks!
The best explanation of how to use the sustain pedal.
This is the first time I am trying to use it. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. Glad you liked it!
Thank you. This is the first video I've seen so far that's makes actually believe that I too can learn to use the sustain petal.
So I put my foot up exactly when the chord changes. Thank you a lot, that's what I needed to know!
One month in learning music theory. Was getting annoyed on how to properly use the sustain pedal as I just held it down. This really helped me a lot, thanks!
Thanks alot you are very soft and nice teacher I like you to much keep it up God bless you
The simple explanations, simple chords, simple progression, the pedal cam and common student errors.... make this one of the best videos on learning to use the pedal!
You're amazing bro !!
🤗 ABSOLUTELY BEST VIDEO on this topic!! If ur looking for help with sustain peddle, Watch this video. Think I've watched ever TH-cam video on this topic. Nobody even comes close to explaining it clearly like this guy...
Thank you for all ur videos
I started taking lessons about 1974 with a great teacher. Then she moved. I've tried 2-3 more teachers but didn't practice enough until I broke a leg and had more practice time (on my baby grand) .Anyway my all time favorite group is Air Supply , mainly "The One that you love"
I just subscribed, and gave a big thumbs up. I play the keyboard, and piano without using the sustain pedal. That's because I didn't really understand it. I ordered a sustain pedal for my keyboard, and am waiting for it to come in. I will be practicing what you showed in the video. I understand so much more about the sustain pedal now. Thanks. I've asked people, but they never gave an answer that I could understand.
Playing with sustain pedal sounds a lot more impressive than simply using auto sustain, but more challenging as well. Thank you for the video, now I only need to get used to hand-foot coordination!
thanks for the awsome video!
Beginner for the last 20 30 years, you have helped me more than lessons and other venues have. Thank You. One of My favorite songs is Nearer My God To Thee. Your Help would be appreciated.
My first practice with sustain pedal. I love the lesson. Thank you 😊
only been playing a few months mainly my first love boogie woogie or in my case more like slow blues the way I play so never used the sustain pedal before,ive had a quick look through most of your vids and I like the way you teach,keeping people intrested and able to play something so they don't give up on the piano,ive known several people give up because after weeks of lessons they still not even playing anything so keep up the good work and I shall be gradually working through the vids one by one.
Good to hear Andy. Thats exactly what my vision was for this channel. A way to teach technique, the basics, how to play properly but in a fun and engaging way which gets you playing music you can enjoy and be proud of playing.
I had an idea for a lesson on Boogie Woogie. Might be a few weeks, but i'll get on it. Thanks for the support Andy, its really appreciated!
All the chord progressions you play on your lessons sound beautiful! Very much to my taste ;)
Awesome sauce. I want to give people something to play that sounds good and like a proper piece of music in as many videos as i can. where appropriate of course.
Amazing videos and tutorials :-) M51 and blind and trying to teach myself how to play, started with a keyboard but I'm getting my first piano today :-) with all the videos I have checked on TH-cam I have learned the most from you, you have been such an enormous help wouldn't know what to do without you :-) keep up the great teaching :-) tyvm :-)
Thats fantastic to hear Debra. When you say blind... are you totally blind? Its really nice to hear my videos are helping and if stevie wonder can do it... I wish you every success!
@@Creativepianoacademy yup completely blind,started when i was 27yrs old do to a rare eye disease and lost the rest 4 yrs ago.i have no musical training in the past at all. Losing my site left me with little i knew how to do,so listening to music was what i turned to. .ty i hope i can do it,gets pretty frustrateing but bound and determined to give it my all.shrugs,guess we will see.
This is so helpful thank you!
Great vid, thanks a lot 👍
Wow glad I watched this video only a day after getting a pedal. I was guilty of pressing it down on the chord change, god knows how long that would've taken to correct if I had carried on that way. Taking a bit of getting used to, but on my last little practice session I noticed myself a few times actually naturally lifting it on the chord change without thinking about it, so I must be getting there.
Muy grande! Un placer haber descubierto este canal!!
Thank you for the lesson! Just got a sustain pedal (cause, before I was playing with the keyboard's sustain button on and everything was awful) and this video helped me to learn how to use it correctly! :)
Thank youuu!! Finally I understood after watching lots of videos
Thanks for this video 😭 I just realized that my chair is too high because for the longest I’ve been using my leg to sustain instead of my foot lol 😂 I sound so much better now thank you so much! 🙏🏾
Wow you teach with many details and don't rush through. Nice!
Thank you!!!
Great video! I’ll be practicing
thanks a lot this was very helpful and easy to understand.. much appreciated. am subscribed already cuz this channel offers a lot and the production is great and the way you explain is a lot easy to understand
Thanks for sticking around Omar. Keep going and enjoying the journey!
Thank you. Very good job.
hey thank you for this :)
More blessings to you bro 🙏. It's time to take my play to the next level
Wow, u r a born teacher, thanks. I am raj from bangalore, India, 62y learning piano keyboard, I will buy a pedal and practice the way u taught. I appreciate your work and do like to learn more from you to play my favourite tunes.
this is very useful to me~
Fantastic lesson! Just got a sustain pedal, and this is a perfect explanation and intro practice combo. Subscribed!
Awesome, glad to help!
thank you very much....you are a very good teacher....
Fantastic video! Was making both those mistakes until I saw this video! Thanks!
Josef is a wonderful teacher, I very much enjoy his visdeo’s. Thank you Josef 😃☕️🎹🎹🎼😃
Thanks sir!
very helpfull video thankyou👍
A very gud and helpful video for the beginners .... I basically learn so much about sustain pedal...... Love from india....
Song you should teach to play is “Gut feeling” by Ella Mai. Doesn’t sound difficult but for a beginner it would be cool.
One of the prettiest piano songs I can think of is "Have a Little Faith in Me" by John Hiatt. That is one that I would love to learn.
You are a great teacher!!! 👍🏻
I've only just begun, been going a couple of weeks now and am not through all the exercises yet, but I'd love to learn some 12 bar blues or boogie woogie.
What software do you use to highlight the keys you're hitting while putting the letter above the key and also the sheet music notation?
Nice piece for practicing.
hey man. love the vids. keep them coming. May I pls ask you a which question regarding a roland fp10? Pls recommend some basics settings for a rookie like me... I mean fixed keys, super light, light, medium? brilliance, ambience? thanks a bunch
Great explanation
great video.
Very useful for a beginner like me ..
Very nice
I purchased Yamaha NP-12 without sustain pedal. Actually I was wondering that my NP-12 does not sound like those sample sounds on ads. Now I know the reason :D it was sustain pedal. Gonna buy it later.
Great video anyway!
The sustain pedal adds a lot to your sound. You'll definitely reach a stage when you want one.
Thank you so much, exactly what I've been looking for. I think I got what you mean by "anchoring the chord." One question: When usingLeft hand to play Chords and Right hand to play Melody, should the pedal coordinate with left hand or right hand's up-and-down? Should the pedal always coordinate with the hand that plays Chords, not Melody? (also in your last example with both hands playing chords, you coordinated pedaling with the Right hand; what about coordinating pedal with the Left hand?)
I think with left hand but most of time it’s written on the piece
Thanks a lot for this Sir. Am hopeful that soon I will get to know how to play a piano. You are the best teacher.Do I need to to know how to read the music notes to know how to play it well at long last?
I am a real beginner, nothing in my head regarding playing a piano. All I know is what I have learnt from the three videos from you so far
Reading music - yes and no depending on your goals. On balance yes its better to learn how to read music. For now though, its more important to just get those fingers moving.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
One question if i may:
Let´s say we have those chords looping; when it goes to the beggining, do you press the sustain pedal and the keys at the same time like the first chord you played or do we keep doing like the second, third and forth time(lifting the sustain before playing the next chords and bring it down after you play the next ones)?
same
Great lesson man learn a lot! Just started take an actual piano lessons a couple months ago with my instructor named Mark Miller have you ever heard of him?
I would love to learn a solo piano arrangement (no vocals) for the song: "Without You" by Harry Nilsson that captures the feeling of the record. Of course, the arrangement would have to be modified/tinkered with because on the record the piano is used to accompany the vocal. Same thing for "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel. Thanks for asking!!!!!!
Your videos are really helpful...thank you so much....for ur suggestions....from India
Thanks Rajendra. I'm glad they helped you. I'm going to India in Feb... CAN'T WAIT!
great lesson. thank you, i have been playing the piano for ages and never really been shown the proper technique
Good helpful video, thanks. I smile every time I hear you say (at about 8 mins 47) "and now I'm going to change to the effin C."
I like what ur teaching can't finish but ill save come bk later. curious what pedal r u using. Mine is very think, noticed yours is nice & thin. which is better for me
Finally! Someone who explains how to correctly use the pedal and not just what it does.
Good Video
so from what i hear learning coldplay songs is a good idea for learning how to use the pedal
So what if one section of the piano needs sustain (like left hand) but right hand needs the bounce for a fast paced, consistent lead rhythm?
thankyou
You're welcome.
Fabulous video and information 👌 the two songs I'd love to be able to play are 'I made it through the rain' by Barry Manilow and 'Just the way you are' by Billy Joel. Thank you
Great Video. Question: what purpose does the switch on the sustain pedal serve?
This video thought me about the sustain pedal
