If you are new to piano don't make the same mistake I did by learning songs using synthesia and memorising the notes. When you get to more advanced music it takes you 10 times as long to learn as someone who reads sheet music.

Kinda embarrassing that I’m starting grade 7 piano today but found the end of this difficult, sight readings always been my weakest thing and I’ve always just memorised the piece instead. Now it’s time to get good at this

i started about 5 days ago and here's my progress (maybe it'll motivate someone) till 2 days ago I couldn't even do above 25th. and today finally!! I could do all the exercises. tho not along the music in the video but I could complete each piece in the time allotted to it! yesterday I was so demotivated, couldn't play anything right so I practiced only for 15-20 minutes. the day before yesterday, I reduced the speed of the video to do all of them. but still couldn't catchup in normal speed. the day before it I couldn't learn and understand the extra notes (Notes above G in treble cleff and below F in Bass cleff) i dont take any classes, teaching myself the keyboard. i'm pretty happy with my progress today so thought of sharing, might not be too much for most of the people here.

Wow! Practicing without feeling like you're practicing. But deep central nervous system learning. This is fantastic. 30-60 minutes of this, once or twice a day, with the program slowly progressing in level, and in a few months you'll be playing any song it is building on. Dream come true. Hope levels continue to become progressively more advanced. Great work!

Still can't accept the fact that I can read notes but not play while sight-reading. So here am I, back to grade 1 🤣

After about a week of doing about 15 minutes of these a day I can now complete the hardest ones and I definitely feel more confident at sight reading. Gonna reinforce for another week then move on to level 2 :)

Music with no pain is a great name for this channel, I went in with a "10mins to learn to read notes" vid as my only knowledge, and this has been soooo helpful like i actually get the notes now. And it was fun. I'm going to repeat it tomorrow!

I am a senior adult just learning piano. I am glad I found this. I believe sight reading is important and I started this today. This is most helpful.

i need to get better with the bass clef

I finally completed grade 1 At first the final 10 seem so difficult but once you go through them it’s quite easy! I did little by little never forcing my self to finish a level I couldn’t fully comprehend and I managed to finish in about a week and a half. Now my goal is to be able to run through grade 1 with little to no mistakes before moving on to grade 2. Thank you so much!!

After the 20th sheet of notes i noticed that pressing my fingers on the table wouldn't quite cut it for me anymore. Might be time to actually purchase a piano before venturing forward...

I was tempted to start learning to play songs to get instant show off. Then I realized the mistake and immediately focused on rading sheet music. You will be able to play any songs without tutorial if you read notes.

These are the best exercises I've found, not to learn how it works but applying it and just doing quantity work. I'm a flute player learning the piano, so the left hand is really hard to read. But even for the right hand - just knowing what note I'm reading (since I can read that clef), is just half of the job. Teaching your muscles to find the right key is just as important. Please make more of these!!!

I've been playing piano for quite a while now, using it to accompany myself as a singer. I am fed up with reading and playing some basic notes with great difficulty, so I came to your channel and have been practising every day about 20 minutes now for a week. I hope I can keep it up, because I believe this is really good. Thanks a lot for your generosity 🙏

Came from Pianote's How to Sight Read video to this. I practiced last night for 20 minutes and stumbled a bit, came back this morning and nailed the first 10 with no problem. This definitely reinforced something in my brain. I also like that the sequences are supposed to make sense musically and you can hear when you mess up even with the video sound off, instead of it just being random notes thrown together. I'll be using these videos from here on out. THANKS BREH

11:16 Just to remember where i should start my practice

What an excellent channel. A very good beginner exercise practice. Has helped me at 66 to overcome left hand/right hand note memory by "slowly" being able to take note of note positions relative to those before and proceeding. Brilliant. Regards from South Africa

This Video that for all people love to learn Piano must see. Im 75 years old, feel lucky with this video, cause I was learn from some Tutoring how to reading note, but there were all 10:32 good , a lot of thanks for this video ecxactely great❤❤❤❤❤👍🏿

Im 38, started playing piano a week ago. This is one of the best sources I've found. +1 Subscriber

Thank you for making this! I already feel a little better about my sight-reading.

Ive been playing piano since 2017 and have not bothered to learn to read sheet music. Ive recently taken curiosity into it and found your videos. They have definitely been a huge help and make it easy to understand

I’m been playing for about six months now but I’ve always been memorizing pieces. I want to learn sight reading and this video is helping. 9:00

Great great great video I love to practice that way Please make Grade 2 Can not wait.

i've tried learning sheet music in the past and i feel like i've made more progress in the couple of hours i've been following this today than i have in any past attempt.

Wow! This is more advance than first glance suggests. Nice work.

many thanks! ...this is EXACTLY what i've been looking for!

This is exactly what I've been looking for, but didn't know it. Thank you so much!!!!

I was looking for a way to speed up my sightreading. It's not my strength and especially the bass clef is weak. So I started just reading out the notes in time to see where i'm at. Next time I will actually play it too. This is gold. Thanks!

Here is my story. I'm a piano player as well as a guitar player, the down side is I can only play on hearing. Like listen to a song and then 1,2,3 I play it. I started with piano adventures adult book 1 like 2 days ago. My dream is to become a very good piano player, but I'm teaching myself so any information is good. I practiced this today. For 5 minutes and got to number 20. New notes I need to learn. Thank you for this.

posting my process as someone who’s learning themselves piano from home day 1 : 16:00 - done with 20🤍 day 2 : day 3 : day 4 : day 5 : day 6 : day 7 :

I came across this just now. These are the kind of exercises I’ve been looking for. This is motivating me to learn how to read notes .

Having trouble after number 19. That's great, I'll see if after a few days it becomes easy

Nice vid, today was my first day for piano lesson and my first lesson is literally sight read immediately.. like i have never felt so pressured in my whole life until today 😂 hope i could learn it as fast as i can lol

I can barely get past page 15! ahahahaha it's okay I'll get there eventually. If you're reading this, have a great day ❤

I'm learning from this. Thank you! Hope you make more of these kind of exercises.

Awesome practice. Easy to follow along for a beginner like me :)

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDDD

It is very useful to me thank u sooomuch 👍

Thank you for this!

Good. Well explained. Thanks.

This is amazing. Thanks!

Ok practice session 2 and i already at level 19 using the landmark method ! It feels really nice to get this far, but now i'll have to learn how to use my fingers properly beyond G4 on my right hand lmao

Tip: dont read every single note, just read the first note in the measure and watch the pattern so its eazier, for example if it starts on g and goes to c and the stepping pattern is 1 note per step ( g a b c ) then just play it accordingly than having to read the a and b taking time

Aight I'm stopping at 29 for today. I literally just started learning how to read notes lmao that sharp look intimidating 😂 21:40 Just so I can come back to this tomorrow

It’s a big help to me

love it, plz make more

Wooow great lesson for beginners. 👌👌

Thanks

I FINISHED EVERYTHING

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rod bless you.

the intro made me feel like am starting a horror movie lmao

Never learnt to read music but used to find starting note and count how many jumps, think it's about time to start

Do you have this excercize for prep A and B level. Even this is too hard for me.

This was very tough as someone who never learned Bass clef
