      Effort is a determined attempt that is uncertain to work; succeed; aka when something serves its purpose and isn't a deluded failure thinking that it work because it attempt to achieve, when in reality, attempt is not work. It is what is done to make things work. There is no guarantee that you will succeed. Learn.

      Hell yeah. As long as you've got two limbs or even some toes, you can make it work. At least it's not violin. There's no 'chopsticks' for violin.
      I mean, I guess there are fiddlesticks though. So even if you had to get someone else to do the drumming on the strings you could still make it work. You can stop making music when you're dead.

    I played for 10 years between the ages of 7 and 17 and since have not really pursued further education or practice. Now at the age of 37, 20 years later, your video has made me want to slowly get back into it. Learning full pieces of work are too daunting and much too tall and order for someone who doesn't have the time, but perhaps daily piano warm ups like this can not only limber the fingers and give life back into this old piano of mine, but lift the soul and inspire myself to put more time into it. Thanks for making this video.

      Start super simply and work your way up the difficulty.. Left hand just do the note D (ii), F (V), and then C (I), just those 3 notes and nothing else. Right hand do FACE, go FABE, then EGBD all as block chords. I don't know how else to explain simply the transposition down to the next key, but you just turn EGBD into F#GA#D while doing C(ii), F#(V) and B(I).

Fingering was my only question but on watching your video closely, my fingering matched yours. I'll move on to the other warmups as my skill improves. Thanks much for these exercises.

    Listening to Nahre's beautiful piano playing and sweet voice while working is so nice.

    You inspire me every single day, Nahre. Even when I'm not playing piano.

    Your channel is a blessing. Makes me feel so intimidated of going back to music school, yet compelled to. I should go back and finish what I started...

      You should be happily going back to music school. Learn some and create more music, then share with us 💪
