I agree on everything you said. I'm on my 50th when I started learning piano thru chords via youtube and in 6 months I was able to play 25 songs and memorized it by heart without looking on any cheatsheet. Well I guess the willingness to learn is THE number 1 you must be passionate on it.

[Heartfeltdesigns]

I love your videos 🤩. As a senior, at 68 (almost 69), I proof you can teach an old dog new tricks under two conditions: (1) the dog has to be willing, and (2) it might take longer 😅. My husband bought me an electric piano, and I'm learning to play. I spend at least one hour practicing and although I get frustrated occasionally, I'm determined and making progress. It's never too late this side of the dirt😂

I am 76 and greatly encouraged by this video

Like your friend there I used to be a skeptic regarding the ability to learn as an adult. Now at 72 not only am I learning how to play bass I just bought a keyboard to aid in learning music theory because a keyboard is easier to learn on than a fretboard. When I expressed an interest in bass, a bassist/teacher said "Hey, you can do this." That's all it took. Yeah, yeah, I can do this. Mindset, patience, and a dedication to practice. Excuses will simply disappear. And these will carryover into everything you do. You're awesome Kaitlyn!!!

I started as an adult 4 year ago, i m doing it pretty good considering what i desire. Adults can learn now stop scrolling and go practice.

[mootal]

You are most clear and understandable piano teacher online...

[noelhughes]

As one who went back to education at age 56, for a course in Performing Arts and Theatre studies, I can say anything is possible. I am 72 now and about to start learning to play piano.

I enjoy your channel. So true that so many things nowadays involve instant gratification. Piano is not that. It’s so much better because you get to enjoy the learning process, it’s terrific exercise for your mind, it’s great for your soul, and for me it’s extremely therapeutic. Being able to competently play a solo piano song or piece that I love after putting in the work to learn it is so satisfying even when I’m the only member of the audience.

I love that sticky note: "Your passion is waiting for your courage to catch up" I Love your videos!

The piano teacher Tim Topham from Australia posted a video a few years ago on beginners learning to play and made 3 main points:
1. Teach kids (incl adults) to play by ear for a few weeks before slowly introducing notations. Putting a page full of symbols in front of them would discourage them from learning.
2. Let students bring in their own pieces to keep them motivated. Don't insist on them learning only the assigned repertoire. In the beginning they need to play the assigned pieces to build technique but have pieces to look forward to when they're ready.
3. Don't ignore YouTube as a learning tool. Teachers should accommodate students learning from online videos since these are here to stay.

Stumbled on to your vids and found them to by very helpful. Took piano lessons for a year (none prior) a short time ago and was able to learn several great tunes from the Alfred book. Scarborough Fair, The Entertainer, Over the Rainbow, etc.. But My teacher, a classically trained rock n roller, promised he'd have me playing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by last Christmas and he did. I got sick shortly after and lost my enthusiasm for a short time. I realized why I wanted to play the piano in the first place and resumed my practice with vim & vigor. I am now almost finished with the intro to dan Fogelberg's Old Lang Syne. Oh, by-the-way, I'm 65! Keep up the good work. There are millions of us out there!

[avispielrein]

Amazing Video ! THANKS !!! I'm 60 I'm going to do whatever it takes to get there :) YOUR tips and guidance are very helpful.

I started exactly last year, and I’m 36 years old. I started from the SCRATCH, as really SCRATCH. And I’m happy of what I’m doing right now. I can read sheet music and I practice almost everyday until now.

I learn with the children songs and with the sheet music. It was not the fun way but my teacher thought me this way. Chords might be more fun but I like starting like a kid 😄

[dafyddrees]

5:52 This seems to be “learn piano as though it’s guitar” (except you can enrich it with chord inversions.)

[georgeruiz]

everything you stated is correct. I am 68 and have not touched a piano since 1978 I am playing again. thank you for your sharing skills in learning a piano.

[swiftbear]

I picked up a keyboard 4 years ago, was motivated for about a month and gave it up. 4 years later I tried the Coldplay chords you did here and nailed that in about 10min. About 20min later I can somewhat do the arpeggio version of it I think if I give it 30 more minutes I'll have it nailed, this is nuts..

[rodbouchard]

I am 85, 2 month playing, learning “ Enchanting Melody” having fun & success Ofm

[jbentonio]

I think that your 2nd secret is so powerful. Keeping the end in mind, making it fun, and scheduling time is a recipe for success in learning anything new. The hardest one for me is scheduling time, but your morning routine video actually motivated me to devote my coffee time to learning the piano (which makes me associate piano with coffee for an extra incentive haha).

[lilian]

Couldn’t agree more. As an adult learner myself, I’d like to say thanks for the video. ❤❤
When I was 30 yo, I started learning how to play the piano from zero (reading music sheets and the lead sheets). The key is the way we touch, we should feel it. Not only reading the notes and the chords, but we should feel the rhythm too. Reading is easy but feeling the rhythm is pretty hard. It does take time.

[aaronspain]

The reason sheet music is taught first, before practical physical instrument usage, is so you don't struggle when actually learning new pieces of music. It stops you from asking what note that is, or what the key signature is supposed to be, etc. Also stops you from getting in to the habit of looking at your hands when you play, then having to go back later on and play boring, simple songs on sheet music because you never learned it.
