I always hated what many teachers would get you to do regarding musical exercises, or just random advice from others being equolly non-musical. They just weren't very fun playing or listening to. But your exercises have never failed to be both, from what I can remember. I hope in time, history refers back to your exercises, and that you'll be as ubiquitous as Hanon.
There is literally, no tension in your hands, it's like they are completely independent finger brains. Please do more videos on tips like this with different levels of difficulty. I will literally pay for it.
If I could request one video I can't find on youtube is(a longer video) 20min+ called: The Ultimate Practice Routine - Where you go through several daily exercises that would eventually elevate familiarity and overall skill with all things piano playing for intermediate players. Being pulled in all directions it would be nice to have something like that where you feel confident you would be on the right path if you just did several of the ex. every single day for weeks/months and years. That would be my request! :)
As a jazz musician, these exercises are a nice way to build comping and melody independence in both hands. Really enjoyed this tutorial (as well as the boss a style video a little bit ago!). Thanks for producing this positive content during this time. Best wishes to you from philly!
Hey Nahre, amateur pianist here. Your way of explaining something in a simple and concise way makes these wonderful exercise videos extra helpful. Videos like these are among my favorites. I can't tell you how often I come back to many of these and revisit some of your exercises, even if the videos are years old.
Nahre you have by FAR the prettiest and coolest piano exercises on TH-cam. I'm trying to get through one of your others, but it's super hard. Im thankful that this video has some stuff for intermediate players!
Turning a concept that is tedious to actually execute into peaceful practice is incredibly smart and I'm very thankful for this. Seriously you've turned it into a no-brainer, it was so clear that even as a beginner I could immediately do the first exercise!
I remember subscribing to this channel when it was first on creators on the rise and I have to thank you for making it easier on people like me who are new to piano.
Landed on your 2-5-1 exercises video. I shouldn't need to say anything beyond that it made me open your channel. It wasn't just one of those videos I just watch and move on. And then I found GOLD :D
and think that an hour after uploading the video, maybe a hundred people are practicing your exercises! thanks Nahre Sol !!! greetings from Córdoba, Argentina!
Excellent in so many ways . As an amateur Jazz guitarist this would be great in chord melody arrangements as It is going to force good technigue,knowledge of the fretboard etc , etc
I'm currently a beginner (just bought a 2nd hand a few days ago), and I'm really having a hard time when it comes to hand coordination. I find this really easy and I can't wait to use this video for practice. Thanks and stay safe!
45 minutes on the advanced one, hands flowing, listening to the music, I really am quite good at this. Then I remember that the whole object is to switch hands......ah......
LOVE THIS. The videos that you make that take something from a beginning level up to a higher level are the best, because a lot of what you are capable of doing is more than what most people can, and making the step-by-step connections is really important.
It seems like I was notified about this a few weeks late, but that's okay! I think I needed to hear from Nahre NOW more than I needed to do so two weeks ago, thus . . . karma! Also, when we receive something as a form of help, then it is a great "aid"; when we are provided something beneficial from a particular person, then they have been a great "aide." I know it's usually quite annoying to quibble about grammar in the comment section, but Nahre tends to being out a desire to at least aspire toward perfection. - j q t -
First of all, I love all of your videos. I just started playing piano. I play guitar and know basic music theory. I find this kind of videos really useful for getting familiar with hand positions. Love it!
Took a crack at it. Found the step-by-step helpful. Managed to get the first one sounding ok. Now on to the others and mastery. Wonderful exercise. Thx.
Good idea to have a hand exercise based on the articulation of a musical gesture that is both amenable to repetition, and sounds best when played perfectly evenly. Thus, the technical goal is accomplished quite naturally - almost as an afterthought - by the performer’s innate desire to articulate this gesture in an aesthetically pleasing way.
I'm a beginner pianist (Not sure if I can call myself a pianist at this level lol) who just started this quarantine. You and Tiffany Poon keep me inspired as always. Awesome vid! Love from The Philippines ♥️
Wow, I've seen several videos and I'd like to say you really need to write down a book with scores for making exercises: yours are fun, complex, rich, enjoyable, I'll certainly buy it and throw all other I own to the trash bin.
This is amazing! Usually exercises don't sound this beautiful, it looks fun too and challenging! I tried a bit and I was havign a hard time with the very first level as I've just been learning piano for over 2 months, I hope there's more videos like this one! thanks!!!!
You are a fantastic innovative Player and Teacher! Wow! I truly appreciate what you do as a Pianist/Musician/Composer & Teacher. Thank you so much for your excellent Video Hahre Sol. Love this!
Sometimes i think i will never play as i want. I've got not enough dedication to my instrument. Thanks to your video, i remember that practice makes perfect. Working and working again. Never give up. And the result is so beautiful. Thank you from France.
Thank you... Consistent practice is everything -- sometimes it seems like no progress is being made but eventually it will compound (sometimes suddenly) and you will gain more freedom and fluency. All the best :)
I was wondering if I should quit piano for a while, and you came like "nope, relax and try this" You change many things in my life now I think about it, my composition, my practice etc. Thanks for being so great, you are very inspiring ! Greeting from France !
Ahhhhh! So excited to try these out! I started playing the piano after seeing your ii-V-i chord progression practice videos, I've been playing for only a week so I'm not ready for those just yet 🙈. But I think the first exercise is doable for me! I love your beautiful exercises, please post more!
I have no knowledge of harmonics theory (I usually play what "sounds" good to my ear, but couldn't say why it does or what type of chord I play), and the strange beauty of those two chords is all the more striking, it reminds me of Ravel's relation to melodic progression. I come back here on a regular basis just to bathe in those short exercises^^.
I would probably call myself a beginner/intermediate and I always use your warmups before I tackle a new song, simple explanations and cool melodies, great work👍
I really enjoy your content nahre I've really learned a lot from your videos they are very informative and well put together and detailed. Get up the awesome work. ❤ from Louisiana
The Horror Movie Soundtrack Variation: first chord is C minor (with major 7th), and the second chord is A-flat minor (again major 7th). Spooky! Thanks, as always, Nahre, for giving me something challenging to practice that's also fun to play.
hi Nahre -- can you do a video on how composition and improvisation work together? like, how can they exist at the same time and influence each other -- thanks!
yep I was excited to see exercises for a beginner. i just realized they are way beyond me. so i sold my piano and piano book. then i ordered the same piano and book. why? because i want to start over again COMPLETELY from scratch.
Thanks Nahre! I got to say, you are one of the best things about the internet! Thanks for everything. You have thought me and opened my eyes to so much. Some day I’ll catch up on all your great content. Your drive, talent, smarts and resourcefulness are amazing! I’ll bet you get more done before 9am than most people do (including myself) in a day. Keep rocking! Your TH-cam fan, Phil Bennett-keyboards Starship
I’m still waiting for the “How to sound like Nahre Sol” video 👀. Awsome video as always!
Haha yes... that :D
*patiently waits for her birthday*
Bruh I been waiting for that video since day 1 lol
1. Listen to everything she's ever listened to
2. Play piano for over 20 years
3. ???
4. Profit

Please do a video on warmups that sound pleasant but are for beginners to intermediate players. Thank you!
Great idea yes :)
I think this is supposed to be the one for beginners to intermediates lol
Especially for adults.
Here is one that she’s done before. Probably an intermediate level.

And this: th-cam.com/video/jKMNIB9sk18/w-d-xo.html
That first exercise sounds freaking beautiful!
Thank you!!
@@NahreSol yeah you could legit create a song with that and it would sound amazing!
Olivier Lebrun
Yeh it definitely sounds like a contemporary kind of music
It's a modulation by a minor third and uses maj7 chords which sound good
@@Olivier81961 She could does amazing things.. This is just one stupid warm up for her...
I'm a Beginner. This video is now responsible for my hype on my training sessions! I'm simply LOVING these exercises!

I'm not a pianist, yet I always find these videos fascinating
I'm gonna use that 3rd version as my morning alarm...
1:36 breakdown / version 1
3:24 version 2
4:37 version 3
Why are you underated 😭😭😭
You're so talented!!♥️
I watched your Scarlatti video and remember thinking the hand switching was so cool. Thank you for sharing this !
Thank you!!

Please do more of these beginner\ intermediate videos. You’re such a gem
Please do more of these exercise videos! I've been playing for a few months and looking for nice sounding exercises.
Wonderful exercise! Thank you! Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪 I hope you're keeping well 😃
Thank you!! Hope you are well too!

The instructor who makes the exercises interesting

You find this easy?!??? Man, I started a month ago and I can’t do the first exercise that is “for beginners”
45 minutes on the advanced one, hands flowing, listening to the music, I really am quite good at this. Then I remember that the whole object is to switch hands......ah......
Nahre, your creativity knows no bounds! I love your videos, thanks!!! 💧

Thanks for being consistent lady... You've been a great aid throughout the years...
One day I'd love to make a record with you.
Cheers

It's cool how this is essentially just a I - bIII progression. It sounds so... dreamy... I've got to use this prog in my compositions at some point
First of all, I love all of your videos. I just started playing piano. I play guitar and know basic music theory. I find this kind of videos really useful for getting familiar with hand positions. Love it!
Thanks a lot NAHRE! Its really cool that you take time to show us progressive exercises like that
You're the best piano teacher on the net
Took a crack at it. Found the step-by-step helpful. Managed to get the first one sounding ok. Now on to the others and mastery. Wonderful exercise. Thx.
You are unbelievably amazing! What an inspiration you are!
Happy you're back !! been waiting for a new video, always like your calm voice and your hands move like magic :)
Nahre Sol is a blessing. The videos are so good well made. Superb and free? Come on! Thanks so much!
Consistently great videos, materials and delivery. It’s much appreciated, thank you

I just did this exercise and I genuinely feel calmer now. It's like meditation. Thanks for this.
omg thank you so much nahre for this video. this is exactly what I was waiting for.
These are excellent, shall try them out in my (online now) lessons. Something very soothing about watching your hands
So glad your channel just popped up in my recommended. So useful and I’ve never seen anything like it. Heading off to try ‘beginner level’!
I'm a beginner pianist (Not sure if I can call myself a pianist at this level lol) who just started this quarantine. You and Tiffany Poon keep me inspired as always. Awesome vid! Love from The Philippines ♥️
Watching your hands play always makes me feel calm and happy.
Not sure why that is... but Thanks
Wow, I've seen several videos and I'd like to say you really need to write down a book with scores for making exercises: yours are fun, complex, rich, enjoyable, I'll certainly buy it and throw all other I own to the trash bin.
You never fail to make beautiful exercises, and the way you teach them is great. Thank you as always. I look forward to practicing with these.
Your lessons are always beneficial, Nahre. Great exercises. Much appreciated.
This is amazing! Usually exercises don't sound this beautiful, it looks fun too and challenging! I tried a bit and I was havign a hard time with the very first level as I've just been learning piano for over 2 months, I hope there's more videos like this one! thanks!!!!
The bit of advice at the end is very clutch. TQ, Nahre! 🙏
Intermediate, transition routines please. And always a pleasure to watch and learn through your videos.
Nahre you are the best, please keep uploading :)
Thank you Nahre for including all three skill levels in your video. - Justice Constantine
I think this will greatly add to my compositional techniques.
You are a fantastic innovative Player and Teacher! Wow! I truly appreciate what you do as a Pianist/Musician/Composer & Teacher. Thank you so much for your excellent Video Hahre Sol. Love this!

I was wondering if I should quit piano for a while, and you came like "nope, relax and try this"
You change many things in my life now I think about it, my composition, my practice etc. Thanks for being so great, you are very inspiring !
Greeting from France !
I love how every practise you show us sounds very appealing and is simply enjoyable to listen to ❤️
My favorite technique, hand-crossing! Probably practicing this will help me play Un sospiro and Jeux d'eau
Sweet!
Ahhhhh! So excited to try these out! I started playing the piano after seeing your ii-V-i chord progression practice videos, I've been playing for only a week so I'm not ready for those just yet 🙈. But I think the first exercise is doable for me! I love your beautiful exercises, please post more!

Makes me so happy to read this thank you :))
I would probably call myself a beginner/intermediate and I always use your warmups before I tackle a new song, simple explanations and cool melodies, great work👍
Would you consider a how to sound like Scriabin video?
That's a Great ******* IDEA.
Late Scriabin though!!
This should be very interesting
Thankyou coach!!
So great! Such helpful musical and fun exercises that are even contained within 3 octaves for all of us reface owners 😉
Something about how you play just scratches the itch in my brain.
I really enjoy your content nahre I've really learned a lot from your videos they are very informative and well put together and detailed. Get up the awesome work. ❤ from Louisiana
Could you please make some more for beginners? Your knowledge and teaching ability are amazing. Thank you!
Finally a new video 😍 Felt like eternity waiting
This was a great exercise! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for sharing these with us! You're a piano goddess
Im so grateful for your content, Nahre! Thank you :)
Yes nice approach the best method is step by step and do some fragmentation. Really love your video editing.
You are good teacher. Improve me too problems. Thanks

I am gonna try that fir sure!
ill come back and watch this in a year when I reach beginner level
If you're up for a challenge, please do a "how to sound like Anomalie". He'd be really fun for expanding on advanced jazz, funk and blues vocabulary.
I was waiting for you to upload something lol I really like your videos
Thanks for waiting! :)
thank you so much for putting this video out!
These exercises make me feel like practicing more, thanks!
As a beginner, that is awesome. Thank you!
Thanks Nahre Sol!
Yay! Exactly what I needed!
Level 2 is fair to me & sounds good too. Hate those 3/4 signature passages 🙃 & thanks for the cool video 💜💜
Cool video tutorial. Thanks heaps for posting this. Cheers.
Thank you! Very useful and a great video as always!
This is great stuff, please make more like this video in future! Thank you
Going to try them all out.
Thank you.
thanks for this video nahre! very helpful
Great video definitely going to give these a try!
An eyes opening video for me.
Thank you ;)
