Creative Piano Academy Hi I am waiting for a reply to access " top-five-exercises" sheets but although it tells me to check on box, there is no reply. Love your vids. Your a great motivator.
Same here, no email.
Tried again.....got it. Thanks!
Cheers for this, I have been researching "how to learn piano chords fast" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Nonason Ranincoln Genie - (search on google )?
It is a good one off guide for discovering how to play the piano like a pro without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbour got cool success
Young Man you have changed my life. I'm 78 years old and have longed to play for a very long time. I've seen other tutorials,but somehow they didn't get through my skull like yours do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart x
How are things coming along?
@Christian Deleon *Her*
Margret, I will be 77 in a few days and I totally agree with you! This particular lesson has let me figure out how to do the melody of one of Adele's songs. Now that is really encouraging!
God bless you.
I'm 73 and just starting... thanks for the inspiration!
left hand: check
right hand: check
oh right i dont have a piano
I think the word "piano" should be replaced by the word "money"
Me neither xD, using an app instead lol
Brian: GOT IT
Hands: I am sorry
🤣😂Lmao!!!! Who's Brian?!
@Ciaran Smith lol spot on!
brian?
just brain spelled differently

This guy is a great teacher. No confusing c minor f major talk, just coordination practice 👍🏾👍🏾
Exactly
It won't be confusing if you bother to learn it.
@@StellardroneMusic The problem is avoiding learning theory at all. The concept of scales/keys is simple, why not just learn it so your practise is more efficient.
@@sekhmet7774 Yes just learn it all together.
lol dumbest thing I'll read all day
This is way harder than it looks but I’m gonna stay committed
Have you stayed committed
First two were easiet tbh
YESSSSS PRACTICE AND YOULL GET SO MUCH BETTER ITS WORKING FOR MEEEEEE
Same
work work work
Left hand: check
Right hand: check
Both hands together: epic failure
Edit: wow, there’s so many likes! FYI I can play much better now, than a few months back. It’s been a while!
LOL! Keep practicing...
😂😂, keep practising you got this. You just have to get used to it🎹
Ya it happens relatable
😂😂😂
Thank you Green beans, that really made me laff!
I never realized how little control my brain has over my fingers until today.. and don’t get me started on my left hand..
Left hand deficient also, the struggle is real...
U are not alone
been genuinely frustrating me ngl 😅 is this something that got better with time?
The coordination in my left hand is actually tragic.
Don't Know Drew for me it’s my right hand
Don't Know Drew same😭
After trying for several years to learn piano I discovered Turbo Piano Secret and it seems to be the top online method (check it out on google)
@Y R for me it's my ring and pinky of my left hand
im getting better
I am 62 years . Started 2 years back ,on myself with help of you tube videos . You precisely put solution to my problem. You are great teacher. what should i try after mastering these 5 exercises. Thanks a lot.
Hi Devidas. I'm really pleased this video helped. If you go to my playlists, you'll find lots of categories. I have one for beginners, one for hand independence, etc. etc. So do check those out. For a structured, how to play piano from the very beginning etp by step kinda thing... I leave that to my paid premium courses. TH-cam is about inspiration and posting what i want when i want. If you want to find out more about my premium stuff you can hop on my email list (link in info box)
Ur 62? Get the fuck outta here its too late
eddi trulok What kind of attitude is that!? A man is getting into something he may end up loving, and you just instantly shut him down. It's never too late to learn. Jerk.
Yep. I've witnessed first-hand people older than 62 starting to play piano and getting good enough to make peoples heads turn.
Eddi - I don't like that attitude and it honestly runs contrary to my direct teaching experience!
I'm currently teaching someone who is 72 and she's doing brilliantly. Every week she's anxious to learn a new piece of music (within a 1hr lesson) and comes back the following week to show me she's almost mastered it. You're never to old to learn about music (or anything, for that matter!). They just need to be ready and willing...then they're able!
So, that person with their ridiculous comment (e.t.) also needs to try to learn something 'new', too. They'd have a much better attitude and perhaps, they could encourage others...instead of saying something seriously stupid!
Thanks for your wonderfully encouraging vids. I'm sure they help many!!!
I'm 16 and for the past 3 years searched the entire internet and scoured through hundreds of videos, but never have i found something as epic as this. You won't understand how much you've done for me.
Thats amazing Azvern!
Just want to add that it is super helpful to start these exercises to metronome SLOWLY, maybe 60bpm or so, and slowly work your way up in increments of 5-10 bpm. Playing slowly PERFECTLY is the key to playing quickly well. Your progress, counterintuitively, will be much faster.
A bit drunk and just bought a keyboard as I've always wanted to learn. Watched this all the way the way through and got hyped. This guy is a great teacher - thanks!
Me too
same! at this point i can't even get drunk and watch this guys lessons without touching myself...
I have learned more from you in this 15 minutes than I have in 2 months of lessons. Thank you for your time you put in here
Jamie, I would say i'm suprised but i'm kinda not! What have you learned in your main lessons if you don't mind me asking? Really pleased you liked the vid and got something out of it.
Answer the fucking question Jamie
jamie ..... he's waiting for that answer
he doesn't like to wait
Jamie, you fucking bastard. Answer!
hahahahaha
I literally went from being able to play a scale to being able to play a beautiful melody in 12 minutes. Thanks so much!
Took me 4 days to get the hang of these 5 exercises and now I'm relatively better than square 1. Thanks a lot!
The dislikes r from the people who brought a keyboard and now it's there in the corner of their room unused
Lmao I’m not disliking but I literally did exactly that but I’m using it now I have it in the corner as well lol
If that were the case, there would be more dislikes! I think we've all had an old casio under our bed at some point.
I hit dislike because this is amateur-hour teaching and I hate when people make flashy educational videos about things they haven't studied.
@@ivorytickler7777 "I hate when people have hobbies"
that is my electric drum
Bold of you to assume i have 10 fingers
I have 11!
I typed this with my toes
After trying for ages to learn piano I discovered Turbo Piano Secret and this appears to be the simplest online system (google it if you're interested)
Bold of him to assume I have a piano.
hahah spider man
Holy crap this is probably the best video I've seen for teaching beginners. Cheers mate
i know right
I am 62 years old and have decided to learn Piano playing. These exercises are really great. Practice this since a couple of days and even I am not the youngest for learning Piano it was helping me extremly to improve my finger/hand coordination. Have seen many other videos. But your's best. Many regards from Germany!
This is one of the best videos I've seen on this subject. I picked up a 4 octave MIDI keyboard a couple of days ago and have been having an absolute blast with it. I'm not interested in just learning how to play a handful of songs, I picked this up specifically to help me more easily learn music theory and have an easier time producing music in a DAW. I figure if I can play around with an actual keyboard, I can more easily visualize notes and chords since I can just play whatever I want on it. When I first got the keyboard, I actually ended up doing all of these exercises by just playing around with it for hours. The scale exercises in particular, just going up and down, then trying it with the other hand, and then getting used to disconnecting that "I moved my left thumb, so I need to move my right thumb too" instinct. I started trying to play a few opening phrases to some songs, and some of them I even managed to recreate the second parts of entirely by ear from what I remember about the tune, so that's pretty neat.
I found the easier chord progressions got pretty boring after awhile, so I started to experiment a little bit with it and decided to try playing those same phrases above but with both hands in different octaves. It helped break up the monotony of it and made it far more enjoyable when the usual notes just got too bland to hear anymore.
Something I often find myself struggling with is specifically related to arpeggios. My fingers have a tendency to eventually drift into playing the wrong pattern. For example, playing C E G. You go C, E G, E, C, E, G, E, C etc. What I almost always end up doing is starting with that pattern, then before I know it I'm just playing C E G C E G C E G. I'm having a TON of trouble breaking out of that pattern, for some reason my brain always defaults to that. My fingers on both hands are coordinated perfectly, but for whatever reason the pattern suddenly changes and it really feels like I have no control over that. Sometimes I catch it but it completely breaks the rhythm, and then it's like my brain is making dial up sounds while I compute what note comes next and what fingers need to hit it. It doesn't seem to matter how much I play the correct pattern or how quickly I do it either. I just tried all sorts of different arpeggios for about two hours, in addition to all the ones I've tried over the last couple of days, and I always end up going into repeating the first three notes one after the other, instead of playing it the way it's meant to be played. I know I'll eventually break out of that, but if you happen to read this comment, I was wondering if you had any suggestions on what I could try doing to break out of it a bit easier?
I'm 26 and just bought a keyboard after thinking about it for a year or two. Wish me luck!
Really helpful video. Subbed :)
22 here and just bought my piano the day before yesterday. Blessing!
I’m 26 and just bought one too!! Good luck!!
@@trashquant Good luck!
@@NathanUpliftpk Thanks mate, you too! :D
22 and ordered mine today🙂 but it's a keyboard piano, I am worried how things will turn out.
After watching several other videos, and literally falling asleep, yours was the first one that got me playing and excited to point at the end I screamed "YES"! So excited to have found what I am looking for! You are part of the reason I will become a pianist.
Ha. Thanks man. Glad you liked it! Stick around I've got plenty more on my channel.
I've just got a keyboard piano for my 53rd birthday and never played a note before so really loving your videos and guides. You make it easy to follow and your relaxing voice helps too. Most apps I found have annoying American accents and want money subscriptions which I don't want to commit to at this stage. Thank you so much. xx
All the sarcastic comments...he is trying to share the joy of learning/playing the piano with those of us who can't afford lessons. He is kindly donating his time, energy, and resources. I for one am grateful. Thank you for your generosity. We need more people like him and fewer cheeky, disrespectful comments.
When you were repeatedly playing C E G E C, I was singing Do Mi Sol Mi Do over and over again in my head. Good lesson, I really like it and it’s easy to understand
Holy shit! I’ve literally been struggling for like 4 days trying to learn from absolutely nothing and was able to progress through it all! Thanks man!!!!
Thats what I like to hear!
You mean that's not what you like to hear！
@fang wen how dare u
I was so sad I couldn't find TH-cam lessons to help me play the piano... Now I found your channel I have started having hope. Thank you!!!
Iv'e had a keyboard for years but I have never been a person to sit down and learn how to play it. I have looked at many piano lessons, all too complicated. I then found these lessons and now i'm hooked. Thank you
A great start for a beginner like me! Thank you!
Thank you for giving us such a great tutorial, as a beginner I actually enjoyed doing these exercises it's really easy to follow, unlike other videos I've seen on TH-cam who've claimed to be for a beginner's. Bless you
I have LITERALLY SEARCHED AND WATCHED...70+ videos, on how to play piano videos for beginners and THIS video is the best one. Simple, straight to the point, clear.... love this. thank you
Good to hear. Good luck!
At 73, I am really excited to learn from you. Sounds great with this first lesson.
Totally awesome video. These exercises, however basic as they may seem, will build the necessary muscles in your forearms right above your wrists. Far more important then playing them fast is to perform the exercises accurately. Take your time to nail the exercises presented in the video and the speed will come in time. I am a new subscriber. Thanks for posting such a helpful video.
2019 trying to learn to play and this is fun and easy to follow and understand. 👍👍👍
love the used of the graphics to assist in clearly showing which keys to play, while at the same time providing the graphic of where they keys are on the scale. I'm just getting started, and this is extremely helpful. .
wonderful....58yrs old n startin a new venture....gettin chords together...thx fr Canada
I can't thank you enough for this video! I am trying to teach myself piano as an adult. Was getting a bit frustrated this evening and then came across your video. Love your friendly, casual style and how clearly you explain things. I will definitely be doing these exercises! Thank you. :)
You’re very welcome. I have plenty more in the channel so subscribe and have a look around. My playlists might be a good place to start. Good luck.
You are AWESOME!!! Love your channel.
Thank you so much! I absolutely love this. So much more natural than everything that I´ve found before. Hope to be able to practice a lot so I can finally impress my teacher. 😊 Sharing your knowledge is a wonderful and generous thing to do. 🎹
I am 65 and learning to fill in for our organ player at church. You are BY FAR the BEST teacher on You tube. I ca t WAIT for each lesson. Thank you! You CAN teach an old dog new tricks.
O my God, this is best, keyboard training for beginners and even proffessonals I've seen, thanks alot. My name's Hyacinth ThankGod from Nigeria, I love it
Finally I found someone who explain over the excellent , thank you!!
Good stuff Angorita. Glad you liked it!
I 've been wanting to learn to play the piano but couldn't afford lessons, I feel ecstatic that youtube suggest your video and check it.... The way you teach is very easy to follo, I'm looking forward for more.. Thanks sir keep up the good work🤓
Great stuff Kris - Glad you liked it. Check out some other vids. Playlists is a good place to start.
You are the BEST!!!
Never played a piano before & I'm 57 years old. Your exercises give me hope!!! Thank you!!!
I stopped playing my keyboard cos the videos I was watching weren't helping me but I loved the way you arranged this, thank you!!!
Have to love this chap, learning piano and enjoying every minute!
This was so informative and actually have me something to start playing. Appreciate the time you put into teaching us.
This is an amazing video for a beginner such as myself. I love the way you explain the process and I love your filming style. It is incredibly helpful to see the downward angle of the keyboard with your hand, the blue on the digital keyboard, and the notes on the staff. Well done. I look forward to exploring the rest of your content thoroughly. 👍👏🎹
I appreciate a lot that your way of speaking is calm, slow, because I usually find many troubles on understanding spoken english. As to piano skills, I am an absolute beginner but very enthusiastic.
Thanks for those lessons!! I love them!!!
Good stuff. Stick around and check out some more vids.
Thank you SO much for this and all of your other videos! They are exactly what I have been looking for to take my piano skills to the next level.
Thank you so much! I've been finding beginner exercises to start out and this is such a clear guidance for me ♥️
Thank you, good sir! I played piano for 4 years in my youth, 20 years ago. This really brought back very fond memories of the piano lessons
Hello! :) I also like to play the piano and I want to add different videos with piano playing on my channel. I've already added one video. And I also add videos with my other hobbies. Maybe if you find something interesting you can subscribe :)
@@VictorMusique hey! Done, subscribed! I liked your piano playing skills plus your language videos. I find them very interesting! Will try to give them all a try. I wish you all the luck and keep up the good work!
@@permaprost Thank you very much! It's very nice of you!
I really like that you put time stamps into your description
Great video! Going to do it when I practice tonight. Super helpful. Loved your advice too on relaxing shoulders and “Find the edge of your comfort zone and then push it just a little bit.” Also loved the fact you have some enthusiasm, but aren’t exhausting. Have had a hard time finding that happy middle ground with online instruction. All the way around, a great lesson! Thanks!
just started like your straight forward approach ,I'm a bottom feeder.so love the clear and concise instructions doesn't feel above me ,will try my best 66 and retired
the best piano learning video for beginners I've come across so far!
Fantastic to hear and glad it helped you. Which exercise did you like the best?
Thanks for this video, all though i'am a left handed i'm still trying my beet do this thing thanks a lot man!
I like your fun, easy going way of interacting with your viewers. Love it! Oh and the exercises are definitely empowering to beginners!
What an amazing lesson. This kickstarts everything! Thank you!
It's such a nice video. Thanks a lot Teacher
Awww. glad you liked it. means a lot.

What a valuable great lesson. Learned so much repeating this and dissecting it for past 3 hours as my first time touching a piano.
Joe I wanted to mention the keyboard with the blue notes above your hands is very helpful because sometimes camera angles can fool you or sometimes the hand is quicker then the eye. Also the notes at the upper top right is so great for learning to read as well as timing. This is truly terrific, THANK YOU so much. Such a great way to learn.
After 30 minuttes of playing the piano my wrists are completely destroyed! Thanks for the video. Really good!
Same
At least I’m not alone 😂
Just got mine today and played for almost three hours 😭 but the motivation is gonna drop soon
That's exactly what I needed. Such great, easy to understand and to follow instructions, explained in the simplest, effective way! THANK YOU! (Going to practice now ;)
AGREE!

Loving your lessons!! Thank you..
This is my first exercise.. after two hours, I started to get it!! Thanks!!

PianoGeekGirl uhh we would go out and interact with people,learn with people,talk to people, befriend people and share with people
@@guinsoo5459 sure but we also couldn't get access to awesome tutorials and limitless education for free whenever we wanted! Which was my point 🙃
i really love his teaching ... thank you keep it up.
I started playing a few weeks ago and it is going really well. In the beginning, I was having trouble with hand independence and I just practiced for a few days and one day it just clicked. Now I am able to do these exercises pretty well. Thank for this!
I'm practicing now 30mins of the first
30mins of the second then I'll try the other 3 tomorrow. Thank you for this video!!
Excellent. You're welcome man!
hello what software do you use to display real time , notes on the staff as you press the piano keys?
Out of the videos I've watched, this one helped me the most. Thank you!
My first time sitting at a keyboard. I've always wanted to learn and play. You teach so well. I know I can do the rest of my learning thru you. Thanks so much!!
Your instructions and tips are very helpful. Thank you so much.
You're welcome Jim!

Great method,
Great teacher, two tumb for you
Your the best teacher. Thank you for sharing your talent. AM learning...
Hey Allen. Thanks for the kind words and i'm really pleased you're learning!

LOVIN' THIS
Great stuff!
This lesson changed my whole career as a kid thanks
wow, care to elaborate... I'm really interested.
Perfect! TY so much! 🙏
Josef I have to tell you I just turned 75 recently and I don't know much about piano but I'm really having fun with your easy lessons. I just started this evening and after about an hour I'm really catching on and learning quickly. I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU for your time and energy spent teaching NEWBEES like me. I'll try to stick with it I'm pretty sure because you make it interesting, fun, and easy for beginners. It's never too late. THANKS again :)
Perfect Coaching....Looking more from you....God Bless you
Fantastic! Glad you liked the vid.
My fingers wont listen to my brain. I foresee a lot of finger exercises in my future.
Thank you man! Great help!!
Just started doing it. it is my fourth day of practice. and I am doing one excercise each day along with the previous ones I practiced before, for 30 minutes or so. I actually see the difference in my coordination. I dont fidget now with symmetry coordination programmed in my brain much. This lad is a very good teacher.. Thanks
