ROLAND
These are my personal favourite entry level digital pianos
because of the piano sounds and feel of the keys

FP-10

USA - (this one hasn’t been available anywhere I can find in the US at the moment. I have been told it’s related to covid an manufacturing issues)

The next model up features more sounds, FX and easier to use buttons to change sounds

These are great too and the P45 is a bit more affordable.

I have watched countless YouTube instructors here. For my clicks this guy is my favorite. The best no nonsense to the point info I have seen.

[thisisourchannel]

You're very good at this. Thanks for the guidance. Its really helpful 👍

[affable.pebble]

Guilty of 4/5 mentioned mistakes. The only thing I'm good at is starting off slow and incresing speed gradually. The rest I'm kinda working on but not nearly enough, and my keys are unweighted. Thanks a lot for your effort and encouragement, great video!

[lostiljon]

Avril 14th in the end is a really nice touch. And you have no idea how much I learned about the composer and that particular tune through your video. By coming here to get information on one topic, I ended up gettin to know more about an artist who I've been listening for years, and who wasn't even mentioned here. Life is mysterious ain't it....

Nice video. Very informative on topic, and even more for me

My piano didn't arrive yet, but it should come in a week or so. I'm nearly 30 years old and I'm gonna give it a try.
I can't read notes, have quite a bad motoric skill, but I guess I'll try. Another mistake, which goes for learning languages as well, is consistent practicing. Every day, even if its just 10 to 30 minutes. We always find excuses and pretend we're too busy, but we always do have a few spare minutes I guess.
I'll watch some vids on your channel as they seem to be helpful for someone like me (:

One mistake I've made is practicing when I'm tired. Whatever sloppiness comes from that tiredness is not a good thing to repeat.

[reoscorpio]

i always say.. "you perfect what you practice.. & if you practice mistakes.. you will perfect MAKING MISTAKES"

[dj_instruments]

Finger placement I think is really hindering me. I'm looking for simple lessons to help with finger placement though I work on anything that's complicated for practice.

[edwinbab]

I know notes what can i use steps to improve

[mulubrhanchristose]

I wish you give examples by playing your topics. I do appreviate your method.

[norvingreenssolayao]

Hi Sir may I know what is correct order of the minor chords? like from Cminor to the last minor chords

[HahnJames]

I'm guilty of practicing inconsistently when it comes to length of practice sessions and number of days in a week that I practice. These can vary wildly. I know what I have to do to change this. I just have to do it.

[kiki]

I have these five mistakes when I practice piano. I have learned 20 songs in three years from my piano teacher and I barely have time to practice each song well without any mistake. I will slow down my speed of learning songs. :)

[TheWokeSportsFan]

What is the name of the song you are playing at 8:33? Great video as well

[mibio]

Please I don't know how to play Melodies with my chord
