Are you wanting to play classical pieces but don't know where to start? After about 1-2 years of music training, I recommend playing these 5 beginner pieces. They are beautiful, famous and fun pieces to study. I also discuss briefly the educational benefits of playing these pieces.

PS. I use the word 'beginner' loosely here. In an ideal situation, my students would learn many other simpler works before these 5. But not everyone has the time to dedicate themselves to a strict and long program of piano study. The point of this video is simply to show you some potential works that might interest you, whether you play seriously or for leisure. Good luck!

Another important thing about Fur Elise is that it is one of the first pieces a student can learn that actually sounds good. Gives the student a lot of confidence and encourages you to try harder pieces.

Hi Jazer I am also a 64 year old beginner and love playing the piano. I started 3 years ago with no teacher but playing on average an hour everyday. I love all 5 pieces you suggested. I can play the whole Fur Elise and the Moonlight Sonata Mvt 1 but of course not too proficient yet. I haven’t tried the other 3 but they are on my bucket list. I started off with Pachelbel’s Canon in D as my first real complete piece when I first got my piano. I am still playing it every now and then, as there is always improvement needed in various areas. Then I tried Chopin’s Nocturne Op9no2 and finished it - which surprised myself as I thought I would never be able to do it. In between I would play some pop songs and some oldies, but I still prefer classical pieces as they sound beautiful and challenging. Canon in D is not a true classical piece isn’t it? I am currently playing Chopin’s Tristesse and Nocturne in C sharp minor Op Posth. Tristesse is very challenging for me in the middle part and perhaps too hard for a beginner but I am determined to learn it. The latter one is not too hard except it is a challenge to achieve fast finger speed towards the end. Am I too ambitious as a beginner, especially for someone over 60? Paul from Sydney Australia.

I want to add one thing to all of the elderly starter and readers here: It is not a question of age. It's all a question about practising. And the advantage what elder beginners have: We all want to play piano. Many of the kids are forced by parents to start playing piano. Probably we need longer for learning because our brain slowed down but we compensate that disadvantage with willing. To all starters: Never give up!

@vickv1424 Год назад

I did not touch my piano for at least 5 years because of wrong feeling that solving problems is more important than time squandering for playing music. I was a beginner at nearly 70. Today I woke up and rushed to my piano. At my 75 😊 You woke me up! I am alive and happy when I play it even for myself! Thank you, teacher!

@Adrien_l.73 День назад

Hi, I have some advice for you. First of all I'd like to say that you play very well. There are just a few imperfections that you could correct to make your pieces even prettier, with certain things that you don't necessarily hear when you don't apply them, but when you do, it changes everything! -For the Prelude, the second note played by the left hand (the thumb at the beginning) at each repetition is an eighth note, so don't keep your finger on it. -For Satie's gymnopedie, "lent et douloureux" means "slow and painful", but in your interpretation, there's nothing painful and you play it rather quickly. -For your interpretation of the Chopin prelude no. 4 in E minor, there are rhythmic variations with your left hand that are not present on the score. - And for Für Elise and moonlight sonata, I have nothing to say it's perfect!

@charlenenowicki9671 День назад

I take your point! But don't forget he's speaking primarily to "beginners" lol ... even self-taught 70 year oldsters, like me! We'll get to the finer nuances later I think 🤔 ... for now, I think most folks are amazed they can even "attempt to attempt" music they never thought they could play. And yes, I agree, Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata were spot on! What would you add to a beginner list? I suggested Bach's Bourre in E Minor ... mostly because of the repetition and precision among other things. And I just think it's another "neat" one to put under your belt, lol. Not tooooo challenging, but you are still playing something amazing! Char in San Diego

So thank you so much for your video because I love these songs. Now I know what I'm gonna learn after für elise. (sorry for my english I'm french)

@paulhaygood7158 2 года назад

Thanks Jazer, this is great! Could you please say more about "Not everyone has the time to dedicate themselves to a strict and long program of piano study"? Are you suggesting that most people, if they want to or need to for any reason, could just kinda skip some levels and try stuff that's way harder than their current ability, like shifting into an altogether different gear to proceed much quicker in their piano advancement? Seems to me some people might do better to learn level by level, getting incrementally harder, rather than "skipping" some levels, if that's what you're suggesting. I'm 48, and would really like to advance my skills quickly, but it feels sometimes maddening and other times downright impossible. Any counsel would be appreciated :)

My parents gave me piano lessons starting at age 6. I loved playing and played every day until I went off to college. After college I started working and always lived in apartments where it was impossible to play. I inherited my childhood home and piano. My husband and I will retire there in the spring. A few weeks ago while there I came across the sheet music to fur Elise. Much to my utter astonishment after 52 years of not playing I discovered that I could still read music! I set out to learn the piece and at first it was really rough. But by the end of our two weeks there I could play it fairly well from memory. Still needs a lot of work but I am so very excited to discover the piano again. I can't wait to learn the 5 pieces you presented here once we move into the house. I am so grateful to my parents for giving me this gift of music. I'm so happy.

Für Elise, then Canon in D and the Moonlight sonata were the first pieces I learned as beginner and it boosted my knowledge immensely. I skipped most of the "true" beginners pieces, because they were just boring and taught me a fraction, due to lack of interest. I picked some tough ones and stuck with them and try and learn them bit by bit, measure by measure, until they sounded decent, then refined the sound while recording myself. It was a true miracle to me, how quickly you can learn.

@J.R.Swish1 2 года назад

Those people know nothing about piano playing! Don't listen to them. It's very normal that some notes will need to be louder and more accented than others, especially if those notes fill a melodic purpose. This means that those notes are more important and need to be heard above the other ones. This doesn't mean to always play melodies super loud, but to play everything in a certain level that will take it all into consideration and give a pleasent feeling to the ear while also making sure that the melody is the focus of the piece, if it needs to be.

My first piece was Elise at the age of 74. Then I learned Chopin Nocturne no 2. (Easy version) My favourite. I could play both by heart after 3 months. I've now been playing the Prelude from Bach but in duo with a flute or violin playing the melody of Ave Maria by Gounod. Absolutely the most beautiful!

There’s a beginner tutorial that has Lessons 1-3 for the different parts and it was very helpful and straight on. I definitely suggest it.

chopin prelude you are an excellent teacher. I agree with all of technique that I have seen you endorse. I happen to have learned all 5 of these pieces in my instructional phase. I have played solo piano professionally for almost 50 years. I really didn't like conservatory training but it forced me to do things I would never have done left to my own devices. Keep up the good work. I wish I had had a beginning instructor as enlightened as you are.

As a number 6 piece, I'd also include Mozart Sonata K545 second movement that's of around grade 4 standard. It's brilliant for teaching legato, phrasing, balance between the hands and chords with its beautiful broken chord accompaniment. Keep up the great work and I'm really glad that I've found your excellent channel.

@bishopspitfire4399 2 года назад

The chopin Waltz on A minor is not bad for beginners, good for learning chords, dynamics, metronome and it’s very beautiful in my opinion. Another tip is to try to learn a piece by heart. I know that it takes time but then you’ll actually learn everything that the piece has to offer for you. It also helps you in the future if you see similar things in the next piece you’ll learn. You don’t have to learn every piece by heart but maybe one in your skill level range.

@k_slyons7346 Год назад

The insane thing about Chopin prelude in E minor, is that I just watched a video of an incredible pianist named Seymour Bernstein break apart this piece and the extremely complex and beautiful articulation that is required to play it as truly intended. Even if it does still sound amazing with just basic piano skills. This is what is most fascinating to me about piano, it’s that notes are meaningless without articulation and pouring your soul into a piece

@callmeqt1269 11 месяцев назад

That’s why you’ll hear professional pianists tell you the hardest pieces to perfect are the slow ones, because everything is audible to the audience and the challenge isn’t mechanical (professional pianists have the best mechanics, after all), but more emotional and expressive. Another great example of this type of demand in Chopin’s works is his etude op 10 no 6 which requires a lot of focus if you want to create the atmosphere and effects that the wandering voice, lead voice, and bass voice want to make.

@fileunderwater 9 месяцев назад

Didn’t have any formal lessons until class piano in college which was just focused on fingerings for scales, but! In being self taught 3 of these 5 were in my practice time. And now later in my piano life, not being classically focused I am still fascinated with the musical journey in Chopin’s Prelude in E Minor. The pivot halfway through when you are almost back home but restart the journey instead and then finally reach the satisfying resolution.
