PIANO TECHNIQUE 101 - What to do and what not to do.

Often, piano students don't learn proper technique until they've got into some unhealthy habits. In this video, I explain a few foundational concepts and how to apply them for beginners as well as more seasoned players.

This course is thoughtfully designed to feel like you're learning piano with a teacher in the comfort of your own home. Step-by-step, you'll build your skills on essential techniques, scales, chords, and musical notation while learning to play simple and beautiful original pieces. Whether you're starting fresh or rekindling your passion, this course will inspire you every step of the way.

I am an adult retired person “starting piano.” I Cherish the information in this video! Thank you so much! Please keep us beginners in mind. I am getting your book and working with you. I’ve waited all my working life for the time to start piano. Thanks again!

Excellent way to describe the "neutral" hand. I always thought the holding an egg or a small ball was too arcane and outdated

Great video! I've attempted to play the piano fluently off and on for 40 years (yes, 40 years) and this is the best advice I've every received. You've inspired me to start practicing again. Thank you.😊

What a charming lady with the right idea of what are the real problems of learning keyboard music for the individual. Concentration is essential and pain kills concentration. Playing with no distraction is the proper formula for a brilliant performance.

Excellent vid. I like the quiet/resting hand concept. At 19:22 - it is interesting that - if someone has a hard time with having their finger in between two black-coloured keys, then they will have a hard time playing the block chord (triad).

I'd love it if you did a video on explaining the detailed use of the sustain pedal on a number of different styles. Great video Thanks!

Position is everything after attitude.
From shooting a basket to love making.

Hi if you will give more advanced recommendations it will be great. Most of us who watch you are adults and want more advanced technique. Thank you 🙏

Some say to curve fingers, others not, so which is correct? I bought a pair of the 'miracle' spectacles constantly advertised on YouTube. I wish I had not bothered. In my opinion, they are cheap, poorly made plastic rubbish—a complete rip-off.
