Thank you for the very inspiring video! :) You made great progress in just one year and I'm really looking forward what you can archieve within the next year 🥰
Oh nice progress, I started just a few days back my journey too. I never played on anything, but after a couple years watching videos on youtube, I bought my own piano and started learning.
Nice to see another adult beguinner. I had a keyboard to practice singing, and played the bassoon in a amateur orchestra, but from february 2020 until September 2021 in my country, every amateur practice was cancelled due to lockdowns and limitations. So what to do ? yep, I started learning piano at home, with apps and very old practice books. After 2 year with " gaps" due to schedule, I decided to go further. On 21st of april, I started a notebook, every day I write here how long I practiced, what I've focused on, and in general, any music related stuff: video that I watch, tutorials, music theory, music listened, dancing lessons, and so on... It worked magic, not only I practice now almost everyday, and longer ( between 30 minutes and 1h30), but I can also see the real progress, and keep an eye on my listenings, and try to listen to more various genre than I did previously. I try to listen everyday to at least one track or disc that I've never listened to before, and one track or disc that I already know, with the idea of really paying attention to the details. And also started taking real lessons since September. I will see in April what will the real progress, but it already skrocketed quickly. I don't work right now, so I use this free time to learn as much as possible, when I'll find a new job, it will be more complicated to play as much as I want. Next step will be changing my old keyboard, and find a real piano with the pedals. Keep up the spirit, it's already a pretty cool result 👍
Thanks for sharing your experience! I think being consistent is the key. I work as a teacher full time and yes, as you say, it's difficult to play as much as I want, but I'm very proud that I managed to play just a little bit every day!
Very relatable.. I am 13 months into it though I somehow manage to play close to 2 hours a day but my thing is unstructured.. playing songs i like.. Right now I am into Turkish March and this one's killing me at the cresendo part
you are a fast learner. once you have a music background, it's quite easy to catch up i guess. The harmonic, appergios, scale & key. I'm a guitarist before about 15years. Now is my 4th month learning piano by myself also. Love to watch others journey. Inspired me. Piano is about to keep focus on both hand and melody until the end of the song.. It's hard.. !! 😂 Wish me luck in my piano journey & i will make my 1 year journey too after this
ive not been playing for very long but that is really impressive i was platoed until i got a tutor but now i can play with both hands and my first peice was experience by einoudi which took me around a month or so cause i only get 20 mins a week of lesson lol
I have always wanted to learn piano. Never went far with it. Played in a rock band in my 20s. Now at 54, I am buying a Yamaha P145 next weekend because I have prior commitments, so I have to wait. But I am ready to start this journey. Not looking for being a professional. Just want to be able to play and 99% Christian songs. Already found a site for that. They black keys are a huge help knowing where a-g is. But we'll see where this goes.
Thats so great. I told myself id practice everyday for 10-15 mins atleast. That didnt quite happen. How many times a month do you use a teacher? Like u, i also play instruments a little but never had a training. I cant read sheet music.
I have piano lessons every week! It really helps me to stay consistent with my practice, because he always tells me what exactly to practice for the week!
If you want to learn it seriously, I recommend practising reading sheet music from the beginning. I neglected it for a long time and I still find it very difficult now. Start with some very easy pieces (there are a lot of free beginner notes on musescore for example) or check out "Improve your sightreading grade 1" by Paul Harris, that's what I'm currently practising with.
Check out my first original composition right here: th-cam.com/video/rX2fpfOq-ak/w-d-xo.html :)
Thanks for sharing your progress. I also started learning the piano around Xmas time and enjoyed playing it for 10 months now. Keeps us updated

Very good for one year. Almost at 1 year myself and I'm several months behind you. But im encouraged too. Just learned Fly my to the Moon.
Thanks a lot :)
great job, the piano is very intimidating
Finally a realist 1 year progress vidéo ❤❤❤

Nice progress. Motivating. I started my piano journey too in Sep 23. Keep on playing. 😊
Thanks a lot! Have fun practicing!
Lovely playing! ❤
Your video inspire me, Alissa :) what a great progress you have! I'm starting to think what piano piece I should play for the upcoming Christmas too.
Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear that :)
Good job 👏👏. I took lessons like 8 years ago, I was 27 then. Fingers positioning was hard. I want to practice again, hopefully I will do better 😅
Very nice🎉 Thank you for sharing your journey❤

I had the same piano book as you!😂
Very nice progress, I play for fun too ❤
What was the visual metronome thing you were using?
I used an App called Pro Metronome
Very inspiring! What's the name of the song you play starting at 4:03? I'm also starting to learn piano and would like to try it.
@@macfadden3 thanks a lot! It‘s called Follow me from the TV show Zoey101 😃
@@awiealissa Thank you!

I think your hands especially left drop very low (the wrist) my teacher corrected me with that. Aside, lovely playing and great to listen to! ❤😊
Thanks! Yes, my teacher corrects me with that, too! I'm still working on that!
Your piano playing is inspiring me to start. Just wondering what type of piano you play on, the white one you upgraded to.
I'm glad to hear that! It's the Yamaha YDP-145 WH Arius
may i know what electric piano model that you use in this video?
Sorry for the late response, I was on vacation :D It's the Yamaha YDP-145.
@@awiealissa may i know what app that you use to record the sound from your piano? and are you using USB to Port cable to record?
@@kayuhsantaidotcom3717 Yes I use an USB cable and GarageBand :) Simple setup, but great sound!
Btw cool editing
Thanks a lot 😊
What kind of piano is that?
Excellent progress and very inspiring!
Thanks a lot! It's the Yamaha YDP-145 :)
