Fur Elise Lesson 1

[DrSteveWarner]

This is long overdue, but I'd just like to take a moment to thank all of you who have watched my piano videos/lessons and posted comments over the last few years. I hope that my lessons have helped to provide a productive means of escape for some of you during these difficult times. I'm happy to see in the comments that so many people have used my videos as a starting point to begin learning how to play the piano. I know there are many of you out there that would love to see more lessons posted, but at the present time I am quite busy with other projects. Please continue to practice and learn songs, and most importantly, stay safe.

This is the most easy tutorial of fur elise because you're really slow and that is a good a thing for us (beginners)

You are best piano teacher. You explained Very easily.

Completing the simple melody in this lesson has given me such a boost in confidence on my little midi keyboard hahaha. In all seriousness, this is the best piano tutorial I've seen yet. I know this is an old video, but if you still look at comments, thank you for teaching and inspiring ❤

This is the best piano tutorial i have ever seen! I am a 38 year old man and have never learnt piano before. I googled "Fur Elise for beginner" and found this lesson. I started to play using my son's Piano. I can't believe that I can play the whole piece (of course very slowly) after watching all the lessons and practicing for a month! Thank you Steve Warner. Your video is so clear and detail. This is absolutely a great tutorial and i highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn playing Fur Elise without any background piano knowledge.

I am grateful to the author for this fantastic material.
He brought a lot of joy and fulfilment to have taken steps in the field of music!
Can practice and enjoy the passion of playing the piano even at the very beginning... Wonderful

I'm secretly learning this song from you so I can surprise my whole family when they find out I can play this song. Thanks a lot for the lesson!

Thank you Steve. I found a keyboard in one of my closets and started messing around with it. I have never touched a piano or keyboard in my life. With the stresses of my business and everyday life I thought, how nice would it be to learn one of my favorite melodies.I looked on YouTube and your video popped up and I have not looked back since. I was laughed at when I told people I was going to learn to play Fur Elise from a video on YouTube. I guess it was a funny notion to everyone since I am 42 years old and run a rather large business, but now I am halfway through lesson three and I have not looked back. Thank you again Steve! Thank you for taking the time to teach anyone that wants to learn to play this beautiful melody. I can imagine this video took some time to put together. Thank you VERY much! I will post a video once I can play this and credit you 100%. I mean that from the very bottom of my heart.

Steve, You are THE BEST teacher 🧑‍🏫 👍👍👍👍

[christineestrada]

Whoever you are, I LOVE YOU... This is by far the best/easiest to follow tutorial I’ve found so far. This method of teaching helps me INFINITELY more than keys lighting up on a keyboard as the songs play. THANK YOU for actually explaining this step by step.

Amazing! You are an astonishing great teacher!
You give the fingers numbers, you show us the exact positioning and you divide everything into smaller simpler parts and repeat them as many time necessary.
Really well done!

I just turned 65 and have decided to learn piano. Thank you Dr Warner for your gentle teaching style. It gives me such confidence to play a beautiful piece of music despite the fact I can't read music yet. You have blessed my life!

[ashutoshtripathi]

Thank you so much for teaching me the flawlessness between hand movement. You cleverly joined the two parts where we need to move both the hands and taught it in so easy to understand way.

5 years ago I tried learning this on the piano. We were living in a home that wasn't all the best and my father wasn't there. I went to my grandmothers electric piano and played this I remember it being super confusing because I had zero experience with the piano and throughout the years whenever I found a piano I would play this I would always stop at part four because I thought I couldn't do it. I have 3 years of experience and still know nothing I know the notes but don't know cords or how to read sheet music anymore. Today I sat at our piano and remembered you the first person to teach me how to play. So now I'm back I was nine then and now I'm fourteen and now we're not skipping part 4. Every once and awhile you would pop into my head and I would remember but then I would completely forget. So thank you!!!

Thank you Dr. Steve Warner. starting and enjoying this lesson of yours today 1/2/2023.

👍 By following this lesson I found out that I had an aptitude to play the piano having not able to read the music at all. Then, when I got it, I went to Flowkey to take beginner lessons and learn to sight read beginner music. When I could basic sight read, playing Flowkey's Fur Elise from a score was simple and a logical progression in the learning process. After 5 weeks I can now sight read the beginner's Canon in D, I Giorni, Morning Mood, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, Clair de Lune, Yesterday, Moonlite Sonata, Liebestraun #3, Prelude No.1 in C. All of it got launched by THIS video. Thank you Steve Warner! 👍

I didn't play piano too much, but I got a bit bored today, so I was like, *im gonna try and learn fur Elise on piano* so I searched in up, and found this. I can now play fur Elise. This is the BEST tutorial.
