I mean... it depends on which level you want to stop and be like... okay, I can play the piano now. Pop song aren´t that hard, especially if you only play the intrumental part and don´t add the notes for singing. Besides the posture-and-all thing it is realistic to learn how to play popsongs on the piano as an adult, maybe not as a child but just because you´ve never played an intrument doesn´t mean you don´t know rhythm. Reading notes, I mean definetly not sightreading but I think you can very slowly go through the song and learn it step by step and then just use it for orientation, if you do this I think reading the notes is improving.(At least if it´s a really good app) Of course it won´t teach you those superpower-classical-pianist skills.
@LaFleur I agree with you. I don't think this app was created for people who actually want to become pianists. It's more for people who just want to have fun and play simple pop songs on their keyboard.
I'm a pianist of 9 years now and actually downloaded Simply Piano to try it out. My summary is, they show you how to hold the tennis racket and how to hit the ball, there's a few things that they do very well. And then once you hit your first tennis ball they say "alright, you're a good tennis player now".
@@Sese_. that wasn't the point of me making that comment... :/ my cousins 6, she's really good at the piano, I wrote that comment since I *misread* it, not because it's weird or unexpected to be a pianist at age 9...
The ad came up when my piano teacher was trying to show me how my piece sounded like, he was so annoyed about it and complained for like 5 mins of the lesson 🤣🤣🤣
"He discovered the app on his mother's ipad" And then he busted onto the casual grand piano in the middle of their living room despite the fact that none of them play piano.
Haevern Yup it’s damn expensive. Also I saw another ad for simply piano saying that a girl has used the app for like 5 months and she can play ANYTHING and ANY SONG she wants. I was like bishhhh that’s becuz your mommm freaking payed for you
3 months ago, I downloaded Simply Piano. After practicing for 10 seconds every day, I am now a certified Piano Grandmaster. I am able to play Flight of the Bumblebee at 300 BPM and sightread Chopin. Blindfolded. I have since opened up a music school at the age of 11, where all I do is make my students do simply piano lessons.
Lol so true. This is basically my thought process every morning: "I have a lesson tomorrow. I didn't practice yesterday or the before, and the day before that I practiced for 20 minutes. Well crap."
Why is that unrealistic? A anniversary is normally very important to somebody so why is it unrealistic most people would not forget? No hate just a question
As a former piano student, it took me a whole semester to finish John Thompson's first book (in which the pieces in the book are mostly comprised of single notes), and it took me one whole-ass year to perform in public, and it's just me playing Sunrise and Three Blind Mice. Claiming that you can play chords in 3 weeks is like claiming that you can learn and write Japanese kanji in 3 weeks.
Exactly... I have been playing guzheng (for leisure) abt 4-5 years and obviously, I did not nail the techniques overnight. It is ridiculous of the developers who think one can excel in something within short periods of time simply by using their app (esp. given that some learn slower than the others). Learning instruments is more than nailing the scores.
I’m sorry but YOU are just slow at progressing. There is absolutely no way chords are that difficult in your comparison, i’ve taught multiple kids as a jazz pianist, and they can easily play major triads in about 3 weeks, and some can even follow along with a simple melody in the right hand. This is why classical and standardized teaching has brainwashed so many people, tackle concepts head on and you’ll see it’s actually not hard when you don’t fear of failure.
@@Kevin-be9iy First of all, as a jazz player, you should've known that jazz and classical music are two completely different beasts. Jazz are more improv-oriented, while classics are more "uniformed". Comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges. One system obviously will not work for another. Second, my time was spent on learning how to sit right, how to press the keys right, how to read the notes, learning all the scales, and all other basic stuff. I know that it took a long time (one of the reasons I quit and switch to guitar), but in hindsight, it taught me on how to break down the pieces, understand how it works and how it was supposed to play out. I've tried to use Simply Piano after making this comment out of curiosity, and if I can make an analogy, it's like teaching you 9×4=36 without teaching you how to multiply first.
@@BlueV205 chords are in both jazz and classical, as well as reading sheet music so a comparison in this context is appropriate. my main issue was your comment on chords which you said way too broadly, it would have been better if you specified it was a reference to classical then it’s believable, but still far fetched. And i’m not advocating for simply piano at all it’s horrible, i just saw your comment and don’t want others to think chords are that far out of reach the way you mentioned them.
Lola Keynes exactly! I was a dumb 7 year old and it said free trial and I thought it was free for a week. I was tricked to buy $110 dollars for one trial. I think I was really mature when I was young and the reason why was I just started a few months ago before I saw the ad and I wanted to get good fast to make my parents proud and that did *not* happen. A few years after that I quit.
Yeah! I mean first of all, 1. How did he get the password to his MUM’s iPad? 2. Why does his mum have the app already? 3. If he downloaded it, would his mum or his parents buy an actual piano just because he found the app?
I’ve actually decided to go for it and get it and one of the first things it teaches you is how to read sheet music and play along, I’m a pianist but just never bothered with sheet music and just always used midi instead and I won’t lie I can sight read a simple piece after about a week of using the app everyday for about 20-30 mins
i was trained in piano for around six years and though i haven't taken lessons since I'm still an intermediate level and it's fun to play. it does not take one week to learn how to read notes on the piano unless you have a background in other instruments. it took me my first week or two to just learn like c and d and i wasn't playing the whole c major scale until like a month in. i didn't start seeing chords for months or sharps and flats until like a year in. i have a musical background and progressed much faster than most people in the classes i was taking, and it still took that long. also my posture and hand position absolutely sucked as a beginner, i needed a teacher to help me get through that. this app is cap
Not lying middle c and the while octave the the right and left took my like a day with the add i promise i'm not lying. I think this app is bad for posture, dynamics etc etc But especially sheet reading is learn super quick with the app
i’m sorry but A YEAR until you played sharps and flats is absurd. I’m a jazz pianist and there is no way i’d wait that long with a student. They can usually tackle chords with sharps and flats 2 months in with no experience. You or your teacher must have really over complicated how hard it is to learn basic concepts.
@@Kevin-be9iy it's been a while, it was at least about a year to really start using sharps and flats in like all the songs i played. i probably used them infrequently before then, but my memory may be hazy
Day 1: twinkle twinkle little star Day 2: Hungarian rhapsody no. 2 played with feet while blindfolded played backwards while standing on head while reading all of the harry potter books at 50 words per minute and cooking eggs at the same time while playing in styles of symphony, etude, caprice, gigue, rhapsody, and sonata on every single instrument known to man all at once.
To be fair to the app I spent a couple of months with this. It was really good for learning notes on the staves and is fun to use. However, the way it keeps feeding you music notes without proper timing lessons, posture instructions, nobody to answer questions etc. The app can only take you so far. It is good to help someone decide if piano is something they want to pursue, tutors can be expensive so think of the app more of a easy piano taster session. Thats my view at least. Great video... as always!
I did try this app for a week and it was a good way to get playing, and they do teach posture and hand position almost off the bat, and it was fun to follow along some songs even if VERY simplified. I dont mind it when you cant afford a teacher, cause its hard to self learn without any kind of direction.
That’s kinda like this thing- Iron Man is the greatest “forever permanently”. Makes no sense, but is the smartest thing I’ve ever heard or read, I guess.
Being apart of piano gang for 5 years now, I can indeed confirm that this is very sacrilegious! Sight-reading music is quite difficult, and after many reminders about posture and technique, this has become "easier", but sill, not easy. And I know that I have a lot to improve on, especially having to learn 4 pieces in 7 months for a recital. (currently 2 months in) I am preforming Muzio Clementi Op. 36 No.1 all three movements. (which is very popular among pianists) And some random piece from a performance book 5, Faber. (Mazurka in G Minor, Homage to Chopin) Still, approximately 1 year after taking lessons, I started using Simply Piano. The app was very difficult to use and I really struggled with the note scrolling "thing". I really like Twoset because of their love for classical music, and their humor! Keep it up Brett and Eddy! (side note: if you sing the notes, simply piano won't know the difference and you can cheat the system.)
Me: plays piano for 7 years 1st week: flat fingers 2nd week: C and D 3rd week: C, D and E Kid: plays piano 1st week: scales and rhythm 2nd week: sightread chords 3rd week: Liszt Transcendental Etude
It’s good to form the fundamentals slowly though, because they are more likely to become ingrained that way. The kid who rushes through everything will have a much harder time later if they practiced into the wrong habits and a not as in-depth understanding of concepts.
@@Fraldale Exactly. The fundamentals aren't easy to get right. Getting the fundamentals wrong will result in a lot of struggling to change the habit in the future. Of course, the encouragement of these ads are good, but realistically it's best to get formal musical education. If you're wanting to learn it as a hobby, go ahead. But if you're aiming to become a world-class pianist, obviously just get the education done right.
See the progress of the boy in the ad, 22 months after starting with SP including description of his journey! It’s sad people are judging over someone they don’t know and something they have never used. Who starts to play the piano with the goal to become a concert pianist? th-cam.com/video/gbFTexsyJhw/w-d-xo.html
Hi I'm a piano student, and I've studied piano for a few years. While still staying in piano gang though, I'm going to take some violin lessons next year. I've only bowed a violin once in my life, but I really wanna do this, and twoset actually showed me the violin and the classical world (which I love now) for the first time, so thank you so much!!
being a pianist i can verify that Brett was not talking shit about the posture and the app randomly gave the users magical powers for perfect posture like bruhhh
Yoyoman_ Blue6 it's easy to play the piano? Hahhahahahah, definitely not. I've been playing the piano for 9 years now and I can tell you that the posture is the most important thing of all when playing the piano. Without the correct sitting technique and hand posture, you just slam the keys down instead of laying pressure from your arm. The little boy in the beginning had terrible posture and he wouldn't have been able to play any harder pieces than that due to bad posture and incorrect technique. The older man after the little boy had correct posture from day 1, which is definitely not something you learn by yourself the first 10 minutes. "Someone maybe told them about the posture", well, the app claimed to teach them how to play the piano but it only showed the notes.
The kid had shitty posture and hand position. The adult (while I may agree might be someone who played piano before.It's advertising after all) might have internalized decent posture from seeing people playing the piano troughout their lifetime.
Loll, I also hate getting the ads dude, I get them like every video, it’s sooooo annoying, please tell me I’m not the only one with this problem too lol
Lmao yeah I’m a pianist and these ads have been bothering me for so long (Edit: im also a singer and god damn when he started singing it physically hurt me)
He aint a bad singer though??? Like if you listen to his speaking voice, you can tell that's pretty much just what he sounds like. He has a little bit of that quiet reserved monotonous sound reserved for older male singers, but when he sings "falling in love" I think he betrays quite a bit of skill.
during lockdown my family got simply piano while I was already having piano lessons, and it honestly doesn't teach you anything but chords and repertoire. I already knew posture and technique from my lessons on the side (at that time I was Grade 2) but it doesn't teach you how to play musically at all. I now only use it because it has a large sheet music collection which is actually really fun for practicing sight reading or to learn. (But for classical music they do sometimes put it in a different key to make it easier which drives me crazy)
Maybe when i wanted to play the piano. I saw this app too. I tried it. It learned me the basics. And. I got into a small song. I tried for days!! It didn't work!
When the old dude played those chords, his chord transitions were waaaayyy too good for a beginner. Plus, you’re right. His wrist position and fingers are in the prime piano playing shape.
I'm a self-taught pianist and this is kind of insulting. It took me months to really figure out what I was doing, why things worked the way they did, and then YEARS to get to where I am now. And even then, I am by no means the greatest piano player in the world. And again, that was just on my own. I had to look up proper fingering, watch other pianists to learn how to move my arms and position my hands. It really treats learning/playing the piano as a something that is easy and doesn't require any hard work or talent whatsoever and it cheapens the accomplishments of those of us who actually worked our ass off
I started piano a few months ago and I can just feel the fingerings and arm movements.They come naturally to me, but I'm not new to music, I've played guutar for 10 years and danced as an amateur for 7. I can't really understand what a complete beginner pianst would feel like.
This is simplypiano logic Day 1: Mary had a little lamb Day 2: fur elise Day 3: moonlight sonata 3rd movement Day 4: la campanella Day 5: hungarian rhapsody 2
Honestly... I actually tried it out just going in blind with no piano knowledge and I was pretty surprised at how much knowledge it gave me though I forgot the next day LOL
I started simply piano tonight and can already play, many songs. I do singing so it’s a major help, with the right potential and courses and songs it makes it so much easier and I’m already a premium member I would say it’s really fun and easy, if u know a few things or 2
If you would actually know how to play piano then you would know that his hands are playing the right notes, but I doubt you know anything about piano or what the hell the kid is even showing you, make sure you can prove what you comment
@@IAmNotHim97 his hand is hitting the correct key but the sounds lags so much, maybe the microphone is 1mile away to pick up the sound. we all know that light travels faster than sound, right?
曾其威 Thank you, I didn’t pay too much attention to if the keys were correct, but I could definitely tell that the sound wasn’t syncing up with the visual.
On the wrist bit, my piano teacher always told me when I was a kid “Don’t crush the bunny” nobody has perfect wrists immediately when they start learning.
I play violin and starting on piano wasn't necessarily hard most likely due to that prior experience with a musical instrument. Violin already teaches you discipline with posture and all that so keeping my wrists straight wasn't much of an issue
As a pianist who's seen this ad many a times i wanted to see wtf was going on. So i downloaded it, used it for 10 minutes, then uninstalled it right away. I have never been so grateful for my piano teacher. Edit: HOLY GUACAMOLE THIS IS THE MOST LIKES I'VE EVER GOTTEN... THANKS!
Fara S That is fine depending on what people want. Some people don’t need to learn it the right way, they just want to play their favorite song, but to be an actual pianist it’s gonna take studying and work that a teacher has done and can pass on in a way that no app will ever do.
@@brendancappon8858 yeah, and people who use the app are obviously those who want to play for fun, for stress relief, or just be able to play basic classical pieces that they want. It's a decent app for a beginner who doesn't want to play seriously. There's really no need for twoset and fans to purposely downplay an app that is accessible for all ages, and go out of their way to criticize it when the app did not even claim it can teach you to be classical pianist or something. Some twoset fans have this holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to stuff like these, and they tend to be rude to people with no musical background. And twoset posting a video roasting an app/ad that's totally harmless is just ridiculous imo. My friend uses simplypiano for fun and when this video came out, he said he feels embarrassed for using it after reading the comments. This kind of environment that discredits people who are using various methods to learn and make them feel ashamed is just a bit disgusting.
My mum plays the piano, she actually took lessons! I was just a stupid person who thought lessons were a waste of time, so, 1 month ago, I asked my mum for Simply Piano. She said yes! And all I did my entire life was play on Simply Piano for 5 seconds every day, and I can now play the world’s hardest pieces at 700 BPM. I can now play Rush E, Fur Elise, and more! I can also fluently read Paganini while I have a rope and cloth tied around my eyes! Now I am nearly 12, so I decided to open up a piano school! All I do there is teach kids to use Simply Piano since apparently piano is too stupid to get lessons from an actual teacher. One of my students has been playing for 2 seconds and he can already play Rush E at 500 BPM and read Bach fluently while blindfolded! Thank you Simply Piano, for making me be too wrapped up around an app instead of a real life lesson.
I play piano for about 3-4 years now and I can say Simply Piano can teach you. I started using the app like 2 years ago and I learnt how to play sheet music because back then I only practice songs that I found on TH-cam without reading notes at all but on simply piano I learned how to play few chords too and improved my sight reading. I think it depends on person tbh
@tiikar I mean look at the setup. Obviously its meant to be "hey I have zero musical knowledge whatsoever". Also, big difference between reading and playing. I stopped practicing for a year, and when I tried to sightread a relatively simple movie soundtrack, I thought it would be simple, when I just looked at it. Then I tried to play it, and I was absolute trash.
When I first learnt my instrument, I marked the notes on the music sheets because I couldn't memorise them, it was hard for me to read the black dots as I didn't learn music before, these ads seem so fake!
@@kevinhartmemes3821 i think it's because of the fact that the app advertises learning the piano- not just a single song- in such a short period of time. if it advertised helping you learn a song in two weeks without prior knowledge of playing the piano, sure, that's definitely possible. playing the piano requires training the hands to stay in the correct posture, training the feet to get used to the pedals, sight reading, and lots of other things that need way more than two weeks to learn. basically, it's just sucky advertising lol
These ads insult every pianist who has been practising day and night by making the learning process look easy. These guys have a point, learning songs isn't enough, you need to learn posture and technique too. I learnt piano in 3rd grade with Hoffmans lesson for about 1 hr every day and I could play some basic songs in 3 months. Not to forget these apps don't teach ANY theory at all.
Krishiv Agarwal for me I installed it myself but it asks for money for playing nothing I mean the anniversary part with ode to joy that's actually real but they are asking money to play
@@atrium6753 There's no point in downloading the app in a long term perspective. One would rather toil and practice to read sheet music and learn things by themselves or exploring (or preferably a instructor) rather than a app which lets you follow-along, creating hollow knowledge and likely idiots who will be a disgrace to the term 'pianist'. It's clear they just want to make money. How do you think they could afford so much advertising?
@@krishivagarwal5189 Yeah, you may be right. But what if I just want to quickly grasp some chords to start playing songs I like? Not to become a musician or something.
@@kemplar285 Half learning is the worst kind of learning. If you learn piano properly, you can play any song you like, whenever you like and you won't need to be dependent on a app.
Icy Phoenix yes, the app can help you better than a lot of teachers can without them being mad at you, the reason you probably can’t do hand positions still is because of your teacher always pushing you to do something hard for the first time, but with simply piano it starts off slow, showing what you need to do, when you need to do it, and even a video explaining what it is that you’re about to learn
@@IAmNotHim97 for someone first time playing a piano, they don't even know what the correct posture is. I would be surprised if they got it right the first time with just some video tutorials. its like the first time you see a pair of chopsticks and know how to use them immediately without no-one tells you how...
My dad has to teach me to use chopsticks, no one is born knowing how to do shit, you need to be taught something in order for you to know how to do it, the app does exactly that
@@IAmNotHim97 i have no idea, but the second guy (the 20th anniversary guy) did it on the first day too well. its pretty much a textbook posture, and its really hard to remind yourself to keep the correct posture when you are a noob and trying to sightread the score and looking for the correct key on the keyboard and be having a good posture all at the same time. this requires lots of practice and many piano players (I wouldn't call myself a pianist cuz I'm so amature) who learned piano for years still suffer. from a certain perspective, encouraging people from learning a musical instrument is good, but not with false advertisement.
It’s not false advertisement, this app is a miracle worker, I’m not some person who SimplyPiano payed to say this, I started as a noob and I’m learning very easily, with a teacher they tell something in one ear then it flies out of the other, with the app, it stays in your head
@Meme_boi69 XD lol dont get to big for your britches. it's not what pieces you can play, it's the technique and position that matters to me. I'm a cellist and say I can play the hardest song in history but i dont sound good and my position is bad. exactly. any person can read notes. I doubt that you can play fur elise with effortless tone and perfect timing. sure you'll get better tho :D
Hi! My name is Jason. This is what I’ve done in the first three days. Day 1. Hot crossed buns. Day 2. Mary had a little lamb. Day 3. Chopin-Etude op. 25 no. 11.
Im an intermediate pianist, i learned notes using simply piano in less than 1 day. But i didnt continue learning from simply piano, because simply piano is not teaching you about rests, time signatures, tick, rythm, and more that makes music what it is. But i just wanna say its true i learn to read notes, only that using simply piano. Now im learning from my tutor.
Haha i didn't even notice it. But that is far downthe line. The first give away is tension. After 2 years i still can't be relaxed half of what he is after 5 days lol
@@mnatyyangyang4390 no. As every self taught piano player i downloaded the app. Not to play in 3 weeks, but we look into any source of knowledge available. It's just a scrolling music sheet and you play along. In many cases the app doesn't even recognize the notes you play and it won't keep scrolling till you play the right note. I have apps that do the same for free, but they don't claim to teach how to play piano. They are sight reading exercise apps.
The ad must've been like: Hey kids lemme tell u a story, some kid found our app and became a piano pro in 2 weeks so download this app totally not a virus >:)
I used to be a piano teacher (for beginners, my best pieces is the 2nd movement of the Moonlight Sonata) and can definitely say that it takes gifted students longer than a few days to learn those pieces. The shortest time someone has made it to that type of Ode to Joy was a little over a month, with most taking at least a couple of months, and the curriculum I used hadn’t even taught the staff yet (Piano Adventures). The kid playing block chords after a few weeks is a bit absurd - it usually takes about a year for a gifted student and two years for most students. Even so, if this app is actually getting people into playing piano, that would be great - long gone are the days when every child was expected to learn an instrument.
“I leArNeD piAnO iN tWo wEeKs” Me who has played for 8 years: dude I’m still learning techniques after almost a decade. now tell me that your learned how to sightread and got rhythm in two weeks and you know how to play. TELL ME
@Cindy Motanya Oh no honestly this kind of teachers are the worst, they're horrible I feel so bad for you 😂 Mine is only teaching me techniques when they come in the piece I'm studying. Hope you're doing well with violin though
I still remember my teacher lifting my wrists with a ruler when they dropped. She was a sweet lady, but that was sooooo annoying! I agree -- the old dude is not a beginner.
You'd be surprised at how much some beginners will invest in instruments before they learn how to play. A lot of people buy an expensive instrument with the intention of selling it off if they stop playing it. Although that second guy had a Piaggero... Can't tell the exact model, but those are relatively inexpensive. Not familiar with the kid's piano, but I think it's believable that there already was a decent piano in the house (parents played it, etc.), but they wanted to try an app to see if he was interested before enrolling him in real lessons. Can't comment on any other ads they might have because I use adblock and never see them.
I taught myself some stuff on the piano of my mother, she got it from some old lady who didn't want it anymore. i made some research and it's at least 100 years old, so like for the kids, maybe it's their parwnts instruments
Ooh I didn’t even think about that but it’s true, I’ve seen other ads with “beginners” playing nice grand pianos just conveniently placed in their apartment living rooms..
Twoset roasts usually: looking for hints that the person can't play
This roast: looking for hints that the person is an actual musician

Me, after 5 years of piano lessons: *I was so stupid...*
Lillian Choi That’s what we all thought 😔
I mean... it depends on which level you want to stop and be like... okay, I can play the piano now. Pop song aren´t that hard, especially if you only play the intrumental part and don´t add the notes for singing. Besides the posture-and-all thing it is realistic to learn how to play popsongs on the piano as an adult, maybe not as a child but just because you´ve never played an intrument doesn´t mean you don´t know rhythm. Reading notes, I mean definetly not sightreading but I think you can very slowly go through the song and learn it step by step and then just use it for orientation, if you do this I think reading the notes is improving.(At least if it´s a really good app) Of course it won´t teach you those superpower-classical-pianist skills.
@LaFleur
I agree with you. I don't think this app was created for people who actually want to become pianists. It's more for people who just want to have fun and play simple pop songs on their keyboard.

As a former piano student, it took me a whole semester to finish John Thompson's first book (in which the pieces in the book are mostly comprised of single notes), and it took me one whole-ass year to perform in public, and it's just me playing Sunrise and Three Blind Mice. Claiming that you can play chords in 3 weeks is like claiming that you can learn and write Japanese kanji in 3 weeks.
Coming next summer: simply Kanji
Exactly... I have been playing guzheng (for leisure) abt 4-5 years and obviously, I did not nail the techniques overnight. It is ridiculous of the developers who think one can excel in something within short periods of time simply by using their app (esp. given that some learn slower than the others). Learning instruments is more than nailing the scores.
I’m sorry but YOU are just slow at progressing.
There is absolutely no way chords are that difficult in your comparison, i’ve taught multiple kids as a jazz pianist, and they can easily play major triads in about 3 weeks, and some can even follow along with a simple melody in the right hand.
This is why classical and standardized teaching has brainwashed so many people, tackle concepts head on and you’ll see it’s actually not hard when you don’t fear of failure.
@@Kevin-be9iy First of all, as a jazz player, you should've known that jazz and classical music are two completely different beasts. Jazz are more improv-oriented, while classics are more "uniformed". Comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges. One system obviously will not work for another.
Second, my time was spent on learning how to sit right, how to press the keys right, how to read the notes, learning all the scales, and all other basic stuff. I know that it took a long time (one of the reasons I quit and switch to guitar), but in hindsight, it taught me on how to break down the pieces, understand how it works and how it was supposed to play out. I've tried to use Simply Piano after making this comment out of curiosity, and if I can make an analogy, it's like teaching you 9×4=36 without teaching you how to multiply first.
@@BlueV205 chords are in both jazz and classical, as well as reading sheet music so a comparison in this context is appropriate. my main issue was your comment on chords which you said way too broadly, it would have been better if you specified it was a reference to classical then it’s believable, but still far fetched. And i’m not advocating for simply piano at all it’s horrible, i just saw your comment and don’t want others to think chords are that far out of reach the way you mentioned them.
When you pick up a bow correctly, violinists can immediately tell you actually play.
Same thing with that guy’s hand. As a pianist, this hurts.

Lola Keynes exactly! I was a dumb 7 year old and it said free trial and I thought it was free for a week. I was tricked to buy $110 dollars for one trial. I think I was really mature when I was young and the reason why was I just started a few months ago before I saw the ad and I wanted to get good fast to make my parents proud and that did *not* happen. A few years after that I quit.
Yeah! I mean first of all,
1. How did he get the password to his MUM’s iPad?

3. If he downloaded it, would his mum or his parents buy an actual piano just because he found the app?
Why does he have a random piano at his home?

You are correct
THAT IS SO TRUE
the most unbelievable part is their apparent abilities to sight read in as little as a day
I’ve actually decided to go for it and get it and one of the first things it teaches you is how to read sheet music and play along, I’m a pianist but just never bothered with sheet music and just always used midi instead and I won’t lie I can sight read a simple piece after about a week of using the app everyday for about 20-30 mins

i was trained in piano for around six years and though i haven't taken lessons since I'm still an intermediate level and it's fun to play. it does not take one week to learn how to read notes on the piano unless you have a background in other instruments. it took me my first week or two to just learn like c and d and i wasn't playing the whole c major scale until like a month in. i didn't start seeing chords for months or sharps and flats until like a year in. i have a musical background and progressed much faster than most people in the classes i was taking, and it still took that long. also my posture and hand position absolutely sucked as a beginner, i needed a teacher to help me get through that. this app is cap
Not lying middle c and the while octave the the right and left took my like a day with the add i promise i'm not lying.

Bruh, I’ve been playing piano for EIGHT years starting at the age of 4 and I quit when I played Sonata K 545

i’m sorry but A YEAR until you played sharps and flats is absurd. I’m a jazz pianist and there is no way i’d wait that long with a student. They can usually tackle chords with sharps and flats 2 months in with no experience. You or your teacher must have really over complicated how hard it is to learn basic concepts.

To be fair to the app I spent a couple of months with this.
It was really good for learning notes on the staves and is fun to use.
However, the way it keeps feeding you music notes without proper timing lessons, posture instructions, nobody to answer questions etc. The app can only take you so far.
It is good to help someone decide if piano is something they want to pursue, tutors can be expensive so think of the app more of a easy piano taster session.
Thats my view at least.

Being apart of piano gang for 5 years now, I can indeed confirm that this is very sacrilegious! Sight-reading music is quite difficult, and after many reminders about posture and technique, this has become "easier", but sill, not easy. And I know that I have a lot to improve on, especially having to learn 4 pieces in 7 months for a recital. (currently 2 months in) I am preforming Muzio Clementi Op. 36 No.1 all three movements. (which is very popular among pianists) And some random piece from a performance book 5, Faber. (Mazurka in G Minor, Homage to Chopin) Still, approximately 1 year after taking lessons, I started using Simply Piano. The app was very difficult to use and I really struggled with the note scrolling "thing". I really like Twoset because of their love for classical music, and their humor! Keep it up Brett and Eddy!
(side note: if you sing the notes, simply piano won't know the difference and you can cheat the system.)

It’s good to form the fundamentals slowly though, because they are more likely to become ingrained that way. The kid who rushes through everything will have a much harder time later if they practiced into the wrong habits and a not as in-depth understanding of concepts.

Hi
I'm a piano student, and I've studied piano for a few years. While still staying in piano gang though, I'm going to take some violin lessons next year. I've only bowed a violin once in my life, but I really wanna do this, and twoset actually showed me the violin and the classical world (which I love now) for the first time, so thank you so much!!
being a pianist i can verify that Brett was not talking shit about the posture and the app randomly gave the users magical powers for perfect posture like bruhhh
They can easily learn posture on TH-cam or something..
Yoyoman_ Blue6 but they wouldn’t knew that posture is important
@@rickyft12 their not stupid someone maybe told them to work on their posture, like c'mon a little child played on it. It's easy!
Yoyoman_ Blue6 it's easy to play the piano? Hahhahahahah, definitely not. I've been playing the piano for 9 years now and I can tell you that the posture is the most important thing of all when playing the piano. Without the correct sitting technique and hand posture, you just slam the keys down instead of laying pressure from your arm. The little boy in the beginning had terrible posture and he wouldn't have been able to play any harder pieces than that due to bad posture and incorrect technique. The older man after the little boy had correct posture from day 1, which is definitely not something you learn by yourself the first 10 minutes. "Someone maybe told them about the posture", well, the app claimed to teach them how to play the piano but it only showed the notes.
The kid had shitty posture and hand position. The adult (while I may agree might be someone who played piano before.It's advertising after all) might have internalized decent posture from seeing people playing the piano troughout their lifetime.

OMG I'm also a singer and his voice kills me. He sounds like he's dying!
He aint a bad singer though??? Like if you listen to his speaking voice, you can tell that's pretty much just what he sounds like. He has a little bit of that quiet reserved monotonous sound reserved for older male singers, but when he sings "falling in love" I think he betrays quite a bit of skill.
@nobita nobi your name and pic dont go along that well though
His singing wasn't bad.
Well, have to say it's not that bad, maybe his pitch is no perfect, neither the rhythm, but his voice is very warm and expressive.
during lockdown my family got simply piano while I was already having piano lessons, and it honestly doesn't teach you anything but chords and repertoire. I already knew posture and technique from my lessons on the side (at that time I was Grade 2) but it doesn't teach you how to play musically at all. I now only use it because it has a large sheet music collection which is actually really fun for practicing sight reading or to learn. (But for classical music they do sometimes put it in a different key to make it easier which drives me crazy)

And even then, I am by no means the greatest piano player in the world. And again, that was just on my own. I had to look up proper fingering, watch other pianists to learn how to move my arms and position my hands.
It really treats learning/playing the piano as a something that is easy and doesn't require any hard work or talent whatsoever and it cheapens the accomplishments of those of us who actually worked our ass off

@@brendancappon8858 yeah, and people who use the app are obviously those who want to play for fun, for stress relief, or just be able to play basic classical pieces that they want.

There's really no need for twoset and fans to purposely downplay an app that is accessible for all ages, and go out of their way to criticize it when the app did not even claim it can teach you to be classical pianist or something.
Some twoset fans have this holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to stuff like these, and they tend to be rude to people with no musical background. And twoset posting a video roasting an app/ad that's totally harmless is just ridiculous imo.

I play piano for about 3-4 years now and I can say Simply Piano can teach you.

Then I tried to play it, and I was absolute trash.

Gets 10 hands and learns the impossible songs
These ads insult every pianist who has been practising day and night by making the learning process look easy. These guys have a point, learning songs isn't enough, you need to learn posture and technique too. I learnt piano in 3rd grade with Hoffmans lesson for about 1 hr every day and I could play some basic songs in 3 months. Not to forget these apps don't teach ANY theory at all.
Krishiv Agarwal for me I installed it myself but it asks for money for playing nothing I mean the anniversary part with ode to joy that's actually real but they are asking money to play
@@atrium6753 There's no point in downloading the app in a long term perspective. One would rather toil and practice to read sheet music and learn things by themselves or exploring (or preferably a instructor) rather than a app which lets you follow-along, creating hollow knowledge and likely idiots who will be a disgrace to the term 'pianist'.
It's clear they just want to make money. How do you think they could afford so much advertising?
Krishiv Agarwal yeah I mean the 3 months is fairly over priced 3/5 the whole price of the 1 year that's to damn much
@@krishivagarwal5189 Yeah, you may be right. But what if I just want to quickly grasp some chords to start playing songs I like? Not to become a musician or something.
@@kemplar285 Half learning is the worst kind of learning. If you learn piano properly, you can play any song you like, whenever you like and you won't need to be dependent on a app.

learned Piano for 5 years: 'teachers still mad aout hand position
day 1: 'PeRfEcT hAnD pOsItIoN'
HmMmMmMmMmMm
Icy Phoenix yes, the app can help you better than a lot of teachers can without them being mad at you, the reason you probably can’t do hand positions still is because of your teacher always pushing you to do something hard for the first time, but with simply piano it starts off slow, showing what you need to do, when you need to do it, and even a video explaining what it is that you’re about to learn
@@IAmNotHim97 for someone first time playing a piano, they don't even know what the correct posture is.
I would be surprised if they got it right the first time with just some video tutorials.
its like the first time you see a pair of chopsticks and know how to use them immediately without no-one tells you how...
My dad has to teach me to use chopsticks, no one is born knowing how to do shit, you need to be taught something in order for you to know how to do it, the app does exactly that
@@IAmNotHim97 i have no idea, but the second guy (the 20th anniversary guy) did it on the first day too well.
its pretty much a textbook posture, and its really hard to remind yourself to keep the correct posture when you are a noob and trying to sightread the score and looking for the correct key on the keyboard and be having a good posture all at the same time.
this requires lots of practice and many piano players (I wouldn't call myself a pianist cuz I'm so amature) who learned piano for years still suffer.
from a certain perspective, encouraging people from learning a musical instrument is good, but not with false advertisement.
It’s not false advertisement, this app is a miracle worker, I’m not some person who SimplyPiano payed to say this, I started as a noob and I’m learning very easily, with a teacher they tell something in one ear then it flies out of the other, with the app, it stays in your head
HER IN THREE WEEKS:
“I can play Fur Elise, read notes, and sight read!”
ME IN THREE WEEKS:
“MOM LOOK I CAN PLAY HOT CROSS BUNS”
True. Except that was for clarinet
Lol true
@Meme_boi69 XD lol dont get to big for your britches. it's not what pieces you can play, it's the technique and position that matters to me. I'm a cellist and say I can play the hardest song in history but i dont sound good and my position is bad. exactly. any person can read notes. I doubt that you can play fur elise with effortless tone and perfect timing. sure you'll get better tho :D
Nah that was me in 3 months... ha...ha...
I can play für elise, river flows in you, shelter, riptide, and more.
I've played piano for three years

Hi! My name is Jason. This is what I’ve done in the first three days.
Day 1. Hot crossed buns.
Day 2. Mary had a little lamb.
Day 3. Chopin-Etude op. 25 no. 11.
I am a pianist myself and I am so confused how they learn how to read the notes ON DAY 1!
IKR
Exactly I actually tryed it and in one day only learned like half so it’s not impossible but hard
Im an intermediate pianist, i learned notes using simply piano in less than 1 day.
But i didnt continue learning from simply piano, because simply piano is not teaching you about rests, time signatures, tick, rythm, and more that makes music what it is.
But i just wanna say its true i learn to read notes, only that using simply piano.
Now im learning from my tutor.
Same! A teacher needs to tell you the notes. How do they know what the notes even are?
Right. Obviously they hired a person who plays piano already to portray their app as "effective". But you can't learn ALL the notes on DAY ONE.

I play piano too and i was watching him like \(-_-)/
@@gigipizzuto4068 I wonder if they actually teach you hand posture and fingering
@@mnatyyangyang4390 no. As every self taught piano player i downloaded the app. Not to play in 3 weeks, but we look into any source of knowledge available. It's just a scrolling music sheet and you play along. In many cases the app doesn't even recognize the notes you play and it won't keep scrolling till you play the right note.
I have apps that do the same for free, but they don't claim to teach how to play piano. They are sight reading exercise apps.
“Imagine if they displayed an ad here”.
YES
SaMe
They did-
I got one as well XD
The ad must've been like: Hey kids lemme tell u a story, some kid found our app and became a piano pro in 2 weeks so download this app totally not a virus >:)
I just got that already 😂.
I used to be a piano teacher (for beginners, my best pieces is the 2nd movement of the Moonlight Sonata) and can definitely say that it takes gifted students longer than a few days to learn those pieces. The shortest time someone has made it to that type of Ode to Joy was a little over a month, with most taking at least a couple of months, and the curriculum I used hadn’t even taught the staff yet (Piano Adventures). The kid playing block chords after a few weeks is a bit absurd - it usually takes about a year for a gifted student and two years for most students.
Even so, if this app is actually getting people into playing piano, that would be great - long gone are the days when every child was expected to learn an instrument.
“I leArNeD piAnO iN tWo wEeKs”
Me who has played for 8 years: dude I’m still learning techniques after almost a decade. now tell me that your learned how to sightread and got rhythm in two weeks and you know how to play. TELL ME
@Cindy Motanya I play piano too and I'm sure Violin is harder, what was wrong with piano? 😂
@Cindy Motanya Oh no honestly this kind of teachers are the worst, they're horrible I feel so bad for you 😂 Mine is only teaching me techniques when they come in the piece I'm studying. Hope you're doing well with violin though
@Cindy Motanya rip
Same with violin, posture is important
apologies for being a month late to this comment, but:
Why is that so god damn true?
I’m a piano major student, and my opinion on that “full disclosure” man is that his hand postures and fingers were too perfect to be a beginner
yeah, exactly. that is what i thought.
When me and my sister started out, we had no idea of hand posture, so it’s just a bit suspicious that an app could teach that.
Agreed. I'm studying Music Performance, focusing on Classical Piano. And that guy for sure, is not a beginner.
I still remember my teacher lifting my wrists with a ruler when they dropped. She was a sweet lady, but that was sooooo annoying! I agree -- the old dude is not a beginner.

What’s suspicious is that most of the people in the ads have good expensive pianos🤷🏽♀️
You'd be surprised at how much some beginners will invest in instruments before they learn how to play. A lot of people buy an expensive instrument with the intention of selling it off if they stop playing it.
Although that second guy had a Piaggero... Can't tell the exact model, but those are relatively inexpensive. Not familiar with the kid's piano, but I think it's believable that there already was a decent piano in the house (parents played it, etc.), but they wanted to try an app to see if he was interested before enrolling him in real lessons. Can't comment on any other ads they might have because I use adblock and never see them.
I taught myself some stuff on the piano of my mother, she got it from some old lady who didn't want it anymore. i made some research and it's at least 100 years old, so like for the kids, maybe it's their parwnts instruments
Helen Winter yes it could be it was just a thought though.
FacePomagranate I agree it’s just a thought though.
Ooh I didn’t even think about that but it’s true, I’ve seen other ads with “beginners” playing nice grand pianos just conveniently placed in their apartment living rooms..
True fact: It’s really hard to sing and play at the same time
Agree
Randeep Singh Unless it’s the tequila song........
Never really realized that until I tried it myself...
Unless it's Spanish, then you can just mutter it so then it sound like Spanish.
