Brace yourselves, I’m about to sound like a commercial. I’m 60-years-old and have been playing music for over 40 years. I’m a guitar player and have never learned how to read music. Oh, I can look at a line of music and say “Every Good Boy Does… That’s D!” That’s the extent of my knowledge. I learn everything by ear, and I’m good at it. A couple of months ago I decided to take up piano. I also decided to learn to read music. (Two new tricks for an old dog) A problem I ran into with the music reading is that the lessons I found always involved a simple melody. I’m ear trained, so any simple melody I play one time is automatically memorized in my brain whether I like or not. So after the first pass I know what’s coming instead of actually reading the notes on the staff, AND just as you said, the exercises aren’t very long. So I bought your sight reading book. (Don’t spend all that money on hookers and blow, Matthew) IT’S PERFECT! The notes are totally random and force me to READ THE MUSIC, and there’s plenty of it! I actually enjoy the practice and speeding up the metronome. You did a really great job on this. Thanks!
It's normal to read differently as you learn a piece. I often forget how to read once I learnt it fully. It takes mental effort to read and intuitively, you skip the easy parts to focus on the parts where you're not sure about the note to play. As you learn a complex piece, you slowly stop reading as you assimilate it. If the beginner melodies are too easy, just wait until it gets harder!
as a self taught pianist, I think i started in a very unique spot, already composing music and knowing sheet music very very well, it helped me improve very fast. To anybody wanting to learn, please learn how to read sheet music.
That’s not true. Im self taught too and never learned sheet music while being able to play intermediate level songs. You can pick up all the basics by just practicing
@@Capt_Wolf learning the basics is nice, but that's still ignoring my point, I already knew all the basics, but knowing sheet music helps me play and learn at speeds i couldnt without it. You can see the phrasing, pedal markings (if there are some), you can see the fingerings so you can play the most relaxed and comfortably, you can see accents, staccatos, you SEE the music. Then again, I'm a classical musician so this may not apply to everybody but this is my opinion on it
You not only laid out how to learn the piano but how to achieve literally any goal you want. Way to go man. As a self taught musician you really nailed the trouble behind teaching yourself which is you really have no idea what to learn. Bravo
@@thespiritoffun4060 is it really that insane? lol im ahh at piano so idk. i was just assuming cus playing the part doesnt take 8 months unless im forgetting a part exists. well it depends how much you practice
@@Contier7 ahh well even the first part is a great achievement keep it up!! so do uk the backstory behind fur Elise? I was referring to the part where Beethoven made it really hard so that Elise couldn't play it
I'm a 36 year old beginner and I have chosen to learn through Alfred's Premier Piano Express: 1 & 2. My first "big" goal is to complete each lesson in both books. My "small" goal is to complete a daily lesson. Once I complete that, I hope to have a solid foundation to keep going and begin playing songs that I want. Wish me luck!
Honestly thank you for this video. I’ve been a self taught pianist, but I quite literally don’t have any of the skills that you have listed 😂 I practically started as someone who just wanted to play songs from video games or anime, but as time went by and the busier I got- I haven’t been playing for a while and I do want to get back to it, but the right way. I want to learn all of these skills, and being shared these resources are so valuable to have. I appreciate you. You’re one of the reasons I’ve been inspired to play again. Especially being able to analyze and reconstruct pieces of music by ear, I find it to be quite satisfying 😂
In 4 complete statement the "I" is present 10 times, which is surprisingly quite important. Read about narcissism, it doesn't make a diagnostic determination, it just makes an unfavorable impression, try to work on it.
@@xeno2472don’t mind him, what a crazy thing to comment on!😳 I saw nothing wrong with what you wrote in your first comment so maybe someone is projecting
I learned in a community college setting for 3 yrs, a private teacher for 3 months which did a whole lot, and currently I’m self teaching myself techniques, which none of the others provided. For instance, tilting your head 45 degrees to the left or right to hit a chord or note which will utilize body memory! Piano is such a gift!
Self taught piano in my opinion is like gaining your piano skills in a way you want to. You can for example choose what music you want to play, when you want to learn, how you want to learn and how fast. Btw amazing video love it
I'm 30 and just started playing, even thought I have played some piano by ear before I'm in no way experienced. My mother had a book with notes for children songs that I'm using to help me learn how to read basic sheet music and it's very handy
As a music producer I was already really familiar with music theory and I also have great listening skills. I'm watching this because I just want to play some classical songs on my piano for fun because I really appreciate them
I ordered a digital piano the other day (FP-30X). It should arrive by Wednesday or Thursday, and I will starting my journey with Adult Piano Adventures All-in-One Piano Course Book 1 and The Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios & Cadences. It has been 30 years since I played Trumpet at school and did grades so I am starting over. Not being able to play music anymore has left me feeling empty for years. I am sure motivation will be a struggle as I go so I plan to document my progress and hopefully I will have a nice evolution of skills to look back on after a year. I would love to just to be able to sit and play for myself, but more importantly I want to be able to play music for my daughter who is non verbal and physically disabled due to her brain being ravaged by medicine resistant epilepsy. Music and singing is one of the only ways we can connect with her and she was always at her best when we had music therapy sessions at the hospital.
Not really. As a person who has taught himself a lot of things in life, I can say there is nothing an autodidact understands more than the quote, "If I have seen farther than other men, it is because I have stood up on the shoulders of giants."
Awsome video! I want to learn how to play the piano but never really put any effort into it. After watching this I’m excited to start teaching myself, thank you Mathew!!
Not sure about piano, but I learnt a very important skill to master anything. V.Short, Short and Long term. Take input as a goal first and then output. I am going to use it in other parts of life
I'm 31 yo, I buy my 61 keys keyboard a week ago , it has touch response, mimicking piano .. my problem is tense and hand angle, solved .. thanks a lot .. I'm afraid i too late practicing 😅 , happy that's not my problem ..
My friend, if it makes you feel better, there are some 60+ year old antiques just getting started with it. However, it doesn't really matter. If you think you are starting "too late", it implies you being competitive, which is often meaningless
... Very informative... I like learning, enjoying the music theory and am not too concerned with my rate of output 'progress'. Im not v talented at playing the piano but its not stopping me from plodding through the books/cds/1 online course and i definitely find playing an uplifting cheery experience - everyone should have access to learning to play an instrument. I'll be taking a look at your other vids. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for this video Matthew. Although I've dabbled in music for many years, I've resolved to play piano properly and my goal is to walk into my local pub (has an upright) and play something fun and do it well :-) I'm literally awaiting delivery of my new digital piano today and I've already got two of the books you recommend. I'm planning my first set of goals.
Man, I wish I had a acoustic/electric piano. When I was little I could naturally play by ear and was pretty good. In all seriousness I lost it around puberty and have never had an opportunity to get back to it 😕
I like video games so I just looked up ss Anne n started playing. Learning sheet music and all that is intimidating and time consuming. I’ll get there eventually but me personally if I had to do all that I would’ve never even started.
Hey man, this video is amazing. I've wanted to learn piano for a long time, but it was very hard to find good stuff to get me started, and your book recomandation, It's never to late to play piano, is amazing. I've only found your channel 10 days ago, but i'm a big fan. Very very nice video.
I disagree. TH-cam has dozens of channels with great beginner content. When I started last year I spent so much time on TH-cam and it was great! Now I mostly watch those channels and read the comments for the satisfaction of seeing how far transformed in 18 months! Good luck
As a 25 years old. And had learn to play abit of piano "like just chords only" i would try this maybe ill get better at it and forget my bad habits on how to play.
Hi Matthew, I am an advanced beginner if that makes sense. I have been playing for about 8 months. I have the scales cold. I work on finger exercises to strengthen and build dexterity. I play chords and chords and chords. BIG PROBLEM. Hand independence. I can play a lot of stuf with my right hand and left hand mirroring each other. But, getting them to play independently like YOU. OUCH, it hurts. I have talked to several teachers who tell me that everyone has this problem and you need to stick with the exercises to develop hand independence. Is this sound? Is there any way that i can get this down cold? It is the only thing that is holding me back. I have watched several of your videos and WOW I really like them. Keep making more. Eryka
Fantastic video! I've recently decided to learn the piano and I' m going to have my first lesson in a week. Do you have any tips - what should I do or learn before meeting my piano teacher ? ( as I am a complete beginner)
That’s very exciting! I don’t think there will be much that you will need to do before hand if it’s your first lesson, your teacher will probably teach you the basics of reading music, what the notes on the piano are etc.. and be able help you with things that you find challenging! 😊
Interesting video and I took away some good learning points. I just wish you would slow down a little with your delivery. It was very quick and I was a little breathless at the end of it.
13:43 just setting goals doesn't necessarily make one hold themselves accountable though. at least I get easily distracted and might forget about things I meant to do or lack motivation. what I found works for me is to have a sense of losing something if I don't do it, like duolingo streak. even though they're meaningless internet points the sense is I've worked hard to have them so I'll make sure to do at least one exercise daily. not sure what would be the piano equivalent
Hello, do you have any particular recommendations on learning jazz piano theory and improvisation ? I'm a music producer and my main goal is to be able to improvise complex jazz chord progressions in the studio. I'd say im a low to medium level classical pianist with 21 years of age. If you or anyone reading this comment have any particular TH-cam videos, websites, courses or books to recommend to learn in the most efficient and comprehensive way, I'll be very happy to hear from you !
I have been playing piano self taught for years along with various other instruments (both self taught and with lessons) and I must say learning piano self taught has has shown huge benefits to my theory knowledge and understanding. I think if someone wants to learn piano self-taught it's a good idea to have some prior music knowledge since without it it could be quite hard, and maybe learning another instrument on the side with lessons would be very beneficial.
Hello, i have been playing piano for 10 years, I want to learn how to play by ear. I have never learned chords and how they work, does anyone know a good book to learn them?
Luckily I already know treble clef from playing violin for about 5 years now but I know I’m gonna struggle remembering what key is what note on a piano since there are so many keys. Got any tips to help by chance?
Hello I started playing on a keyboard with 61 keys back in august. Self taught because I can’t afford lessons. Also I’m 24 years old. I feel like I’m all over the place and really have no idea on what I should I be learning or practicing first. I would like to get into playing classical but also pop. What should I be practicing on a daily to get comfortable with the layout of my keyboard? Should I be learning Chords,scales, arpeggios, how to read sheet music? I’ve been trying to learn songs but only seem to learn bits of a song and never played a full song yet. Any advice is needed thank you :) also been trying finger exercises.
I hope you read my comment but i only have a 1987 yamaha with 48 keys, how should i go about learning? So far i have learned the notes and the keys and landmarks and have a bit of sight reading skill but lack of keys on some songs lead me to only learning the melody with my right hand. I do hand independence exercises from pianote videos though.
I'm totally new to the piano (actually planning to start with an organ\keyboard, is that different by a lot?) or playing music at all, anyone got recommendations on where to start and should I organize and prioritize all the things I should learn?
Thanks for the video. Is there anything I can do as an absolute beginner that has yet to buy my first piano? I have been saving up to buy one for the last few months and I'm interested in learning - but have nothing to play on yet. I'm honestly just learning for pure passion and interest. So, this nothing official nor graded. I considered learning to read sheet music while I save but is that a good place to start? Or should I really wait until I have a piano in front of me? I was going to buy the Casio CT-S1 61 simply because thats all I can afford - but I do want to eventually transition to an 88 key once I worked my way up there. Though I am considering I may have to save a bit longer to afford an 88 key digital piano.
Any advice on how to manage the last 10% of songs? I'll typically take a piece like Einaudi's Nuvole Bianche and get it to 80 or 90% where I can play any part reasonably well. But no chance of getting through the entire piece without errors. And then I realize it doesn't make sense to keep practicing the same piece for months and I'll jump to something else. But then there's this nagging feeling that never ONCE have I played it really well

Hello, i have been playing piano for 10 years, I want to learn how to play by ear. I have never learned chords and how they work, does anyone know a good book to learn them?
I’m doing today❤❤🎉🎉
Very good video, thank you
Thumbnail totally me! 😂
Luckily I already know treble clef from playing violin for about 5 years now but I know I’m gonna struggle remembering what key is what note on a piano since there are so many keys. Got any tips to help by chance?
thank you sir
Wish there was a ytube channel like this for guitar... :(
Maybe I should do a second channel? 😉
Man. You gave so many quality information in this video its amazing. Im in between getting a guitar or piano for NY resolution :)@@matticawood
Thanks for this. It’s given me a great framework to attack my piano learning, lots of things I would have never considered!
What is the difference between a digital piano and an acoustic piano
Hello I started playing on a keyboard with 61 keys back in august. Self taught because I can’t afford lessons. Also I’m 24 years old. I feel like I’m all over the place and really have no idea on what I should I be learning or practicing first. I would like to get into playing classical but also pop. What should I be practicing on a daily to get comfortable with the layout of my keyboard? Should I be learning Chords,scales, arpeggios, how to read sheet music? I’ve been trying to learn songs but only seem to learn bits of a song and never played a full song yet. Any advice is needed thank you :) also been trying finger exercises.
How's your music journey?
Yep, I give up.
No idea how I managed to learn grade 1 piano back in primary school, this all sounds too complicated to me now.
Same, im composing a song right now and its very fun and easy tho
What's the difference between the 'Discovering Music Theory' volume of books and 'Music Theory in Practice'? Do I need one set, or better to get both?
came for the tips, stayed for the b-roll
Are there any videos on intro to music theory that you would recommend?
I hope you read my comment but i only have a 1987 yamaha with 48 keys, how should i go about learning? So far i have learned the notes and the keys and landmarks and have a bit of sight reading skill but lack of keys on some songs lead me to only learning the melody with my right hand. I do hand independence exercises from pianote videos though.
VERY NICE VIDEO!
I don't have the funds for 88 keys so ima get the Yamaha 61 keys
Good thanks
I'm totally new to the piano (actually planning to start with an organ\keyboard, is that different by a lot?) or playing music at all, anyone got recommendations on where to start and should I organize and prioritize all the things I should learn?
Great vid!
Muchas gracias
I didnt understand what music theory is, is it all of the knowledge around chords, scales, aural skills, etc.?
Thanks ❤❤
Im at the point where's the scale that i familiar with was c scale. I can't play scale with the black notes, idk why is that.
Thanks for the video. Is there anything I can do as an absolute beginner that has yet to buy my first piano? I have been saving up to buy one for the last few months and I'm interested in learning - but have nothing to play on yet. I'm honestly just learning for pure passion and interest. So, this nothing official nor graded. I considered learning to read sheet music while I save but is that a good place to start? Or should I really wait until I have a piano in front of me? I was going to buy the Casio CT-S1 61 simply because thats all I can afford - but I do want to eventually transition to an 88 key once I worked my way up there. Though I am considering I may have to save a bit longer to afford an 88 key digital piano.
How do i play any song in any key on the piano
i have a 76 key keyboard with no sustain pedal, am i cooked?
Bro same 😭
Yes
I think if you have at least 1 full scale, you should be good.
Or you just buy a new keyboard. I got mine for £125
Any advice on how to manage the last 10% of songs?
I'll typically take a piece like Einaudi's Nuvole Bianche and get it to 80 or 90% where I can play any part reasonably well. But no chance of getting through the entire piece without errors. And then I realize it doesn't make sense to keep practicing the same piece for months and I'll jump to something else. But then there's this nagging feeling that never ONCE have I played it really well
