How to Play Debussy | Clair de lune [Tutorial]

Here is my complete tutorial on "how to" learn, practice, and play the Clair de lune by Claude Debussy.
In this video, I teach practicing and learning this piece with hands separate and both hands.
The methods I am showing will help you create a transparent and colorful texture when playing it.
I also focus on pedaling, timing, and giving you some suggestions on designing your interpretation.
Good luck!

Lang Lang and all those great pianists that give masterclasses can only wish they could explain the essence of each piece in a very simple logical way to understand the piece like you do. Thank you!

[DomskiPlays]

This video is insanely underrated and I hope you continue!

jesus what a player!!! and how articulate with the explanation. Amazing. Your hands look almost superhuman the way they work and move

[AL-nfbe]

Thank you for incoperation of the view of pedal, not other video has done. Pedaling is so important.

[tinayang]

This is a great tutorial video. Your interpretation has helped me a ton when I self-learned to play this piece. I’m looking forward to more tutorial videos from you and thank you!

[pravin]

I've been working on this piece for 2 weeks now and this will definitely help me. Thank you!

[coppas]

Out of all the videos I have watched while learning this song yours is by far and away the best in terms of structure. Having a pedal cam has been incredibly helpful through many sections of this as a beginner. Big thanks for your content!

This is a great tutorial and is a correct way to play Clair De Lune as written.

Now I am obsessed with this channel. It is so chill, engaging, informative and damn skilled teacher! I have been looking for tutorials like these, but I just guessed I would not just come across them and for free. I was, fortunately, wrong. I already commented it, but really good stuff, sir. Thank you very much.

[RobinDaelman]

Very nice tutorial. The best explanation amongst all others. Keep publishing these tutorials as long you can please. We do appreciate a lot the nergy and time you spent on these! Best

[mariasolidum]

[martinposavec]

absolutely love the sound of your piano!

[sarmadpiano]

Thank you so much for the tutorial and the efforts of putting a camera on your head position. Excellent interpretation and playing.

I can say that you, Mr. don’t try to get more followers or attention to become the biggest page here. Your magic is fare explanation of what actually notes are and how to read them carefully and beautifully. Thank you ❤

[PatrizioDelliGatti]

Sir, your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Greetings from Italy

[danwolfe]

Wow. THANK YOU. Speechless. I begin my study tomorrow.

[mexico-yx]

Great! Just finished this piece some weeks ago, with 7 months of piano experience, self-thaught. This video will help the to master this piece. Maybe can you make a video on Arabesque No.1? Thanks 😊

[fionanogawa]

Thank you for a wonderful lesson - really valuable and inspiring technical, analytical appreciation of the piece

[Nomen_Latinum]

This is very helpful! I'm relatively new to the piano, but I have played this piece on classical guitar before (arranged by James Edwards). It's a delight, and I'm sure this video will help improve my interpretation of both versions.
