No joke, your YouTube channel is a litteral learning an Instrument through youtube is incredibly overwhelming where you're bombarded by information from all directions. Your channel however, gives clear concise and necessary information needed from the absolute beginning.... thank you!

Your method of teaching is the best I have seen. You deserve much more subscribers. Keep up the good work

Great advice here! I particularly agree with the first point about getting performing with other musicians early on. Music is ultimately a collaborative activity. Practicing on your own can only go so far and getting in a room with other musicians can suddenly make the whole thing make sense!

Started learning piano 3 weeks ago on my own and with some YouTube videos. I have learned other instruments over the years and your stuff is spot on. One thing I wish I had done more with other instruments is to use a metronome. My keyboard has one built in, so that has been really handy. Focused practice is super important, although noodling around just for fun is good too (it just can't be the only thing). So much to learn... The pace and cadence of your delivery keeps me listening and engaged with the ideas, and there is just enough repetition to help them sink in. I am very happy to be subscribed and look forward to digging into more videos. Thank you!

Another tip maybe: I work in a drugstore company (office). currently i am practicing house of the rising sun. Today we had a motivational speech about creativity in home office. and during that meeting i changed the text of the house of the rising sun in something like "i got a mouse in my blue jeans, it ...." in geman of course. and played it for the team. It was so funny and it helped me to .... play with the notes and the words. it was an amazing experience. My real life teacher was very pleased because it combiend so much fun with practice and playing with the notes (playing a little different that what we predetermined).

First of all I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Finding a good teacher is the most important thing. Methods vary from instructor to instructor. I have been leaning guitar and wanted to start doing some home recording. I recently purchased a midi controller keyboard and came across a couple of your videos. As a beginner your lessons are good place for me to start. The last segment of this video you mention the importance of Music Theory and intervals. Intervals and how to play them on your instrument should be the first thing anyone learns. They are the building blocks of music.

Yay you are back! I was waiting for the update! Thanks for the useful information! You are a great teacher! Really appreciate your knowledge of piano! Love your videos! ❤️

[l.f.treadwell]

Wonderful! You are special! Great, great teacher!

[darkunft]

THANK YOU AGAIN!
Today i followed tip 1 and played with a drummer. Currently i barely can play house of the rising sun in an easy version with both hands. Todays session was mindblowing. It was similar to firts playing with both hands. Amazing. After a short period of time i got into it and we plyed ... together.... me only playing melody ... both hand again ... a little harder both together ... Respect to the drummer who was very patient and gave me a lot of tips like "just keep playing" and so on.

I have just discovered this video and finished my first beginner lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed it and your style of teaching is really very good. I look forward to learning from you and enjoying myself as I learn to play as an adult.Thank you very much. 😊

I found your channel early in my journey of piano. Your all the sheets are perfect. Thank you for your hard work. Please do a video about arpeggios and also make the notes as well.

Thanks for another very helpful video. There are probably hundreds of piano teachers/learning systems on the internet and I put you in the top 3.

I decided to learn piano during Covid times. And this video has been extremely useful. Thanksa ton
Wish u get a trillion views.

"Put your phone away" Best advice.

[Kusanagik]

Define "as a begginer" because definitely as a begginer, going to play in a band or with friends I don't think doing "cdefgfedc" will be fun xD

[ms.princessvargas]

The fact that this video doesn't have dislikes 💕

Friend, your new subscriber is just a minor youtuber but for hobby only. 🇮🇳

I think the most helpful tip was to PRACTICE FREQUENTLY and don't try to sabotage yourself by thinking you don't have enough time to practice properly so you forgo it
