  • In this video I react to Kyle in Japan's video of his 1 Year of piano progress as a 41 year old self-taught beginner. Of course, take my opinions with a pinch of salt because obviously no one asked for an opinion...but I do offer excellent opinions 😏

    If you pop over to Kyle’s channel via the linked video in Matt’s description you will see he spent this time learning piano in secret from his partner so he could play for her on their anniversary. What a lovely gesture. He can sing too.

    As someone that just recently picked up the piano, this gave me quite a few insights. Especially about trying to understand broader concepts early aside from just learning to play a note when you see that note on the sheet.
    Will try to implement, very much appreciated!

    I think a great idea (if your community is up for it), is to host a fundraiser, purchase a piano (we're not talking a Fazioli here)...maybe something in the $300-$500 range. Host a contest to have new piano players submit videos of their progress journey, and then let your community vote on who grinded the hardest - and give away the piano. I'd suggest keeping it with local folks if possible as to avoid the logistical (and financial) troubles of someone geographically far away. I'll chip in 20 right now lol

    Love your content so much!!! Do you intend to create a video dedicated to music theory like explaining phrasing, cadences and other stuff in a single video or kind of a playlist? You do mention concepts in your videos but a more focused one would be great though.

    hi matthew, in the slim chance that you see this comment i'd like you to react to a piece called "Suiren" by Sakuzyo. it's undoubtedly the hardest (doubtedly humanly possible) piano piece i've ever seen and i'd like to hear your thoughts on it! it's a pretty old and in my opinion EXTREMELY underrated piece and if you, let's say, "shined some light" into it and allowed more people to discover it that would be really cool!
    i have yet to see someone play this piece accurately

    I like seeing adults learning how to play an instrument because it dispels the myth that adults can't learn music. I started to learn at 21 and I'm planning to be a piano teacher.

    Bro you need to find a way to review your subscribers piano playing more frequently. Ain't no way I am waiting for more than half of a year now and I am sure there are people that don't even remember submitting their videos because it was so long ago. Maybe review one at the end of every video or just make this kind of videos more often. Looking like high demand if people submit so many videos and you are the only piano youtuber that does this kind of videos.

      I have a Clavinova and I love - it's an older model and I bought it used. It's a great piano. The key action and weight is better than my Casio PSX 7000. The sound is great and probably even better with a newer version. I would highly suggest playing whatever you're going to buy first and seeing if you like it.

    I don't know how much music your person in the video has listened to. There seems to be a lack of feeling with his playing. He does get the notes right, but I'm surprised that he is satisfied with the way his music sounds. Very stiff and mechanical, with no emotion. I think you are correct that if he studied the cords it might help. But he does manage the notes well.

  • @stevewebb7126

    It desperately needs a sustain pedal, the piano notes fade to quickly.And with no velocity of the keys it sounds too void of emotion.
