CONQUER Hand Independence on the Piano & IMPROVE your Sense of Rhythm 

This is inspired piano instruction! I am 73 and have been taking lessons for a little over 1 year. I know my scales, my rhythms, and all my chord inversions, but my hand coordination is awful. None of the other online tips on hand independence have worked for me, but after viewing this lesson, I was inspired to try it. Jason, you are right!! Singing the melody DOES get your brain into the mix! I tried the first, basic part of this lesson, just trying to get my right hand playing at double speed while my left stayed at the base speed. Mistake after mistake after mistake, until I slowed WAY down and started singing the right hand melody part. Gradually I got better and better, and had my first mistake-free 4-bar success after banging away for 1 hour. I did it!! There is nothing better than this feeling of accomplishment, that something I thought I could not do, is now done. It may take me months to get to quad time, but I am now determined to get there. Thank you, Jason!

When you go live I feel like I’m stealing. So much knowledge for free! Thank you in advance. 🎹💯

Thank you for your generosity

THIS guy knows how to actually teach. More students would relate and retain interest if more teachers taught this way.

Extremely useful for keyboard learners. A must watch. Thank you so much.... Sir, you are unique teacher ... Many many pranaams to you

This is how a complete tutorial has to be. In the right sequence addressing every doubt a learner would have. Jason, thank you so much.

The world of musicians needed you....

Hello sir thankyou so much for the way you teach and explain... God bless you sir... I have a yamaha pss26 keyboard the keys are small in size... I tend fumble on the keys... Do i have to purchase keyboard with bigger keys or do i have to practise more on the same keyboard. Thankyou🙏🙏

Awesome Sir. I needed this exercise thank you.

You are always amaging, thank you so much sir

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge in a way simple persons understand

Jason, GREAT exercise! I did quite well playing "divide by 2" Straight, up to 90BPM. A bit of a struggle for me playing it in Swing, I have to turn off the metronome, and just play it much slower. Now, with Triplets -- that's a difficulty for me, my Left Hand doesn't want to seem to "hold it's ground"! Will do more practice, and I'll get it. So, a question ----- is playing Triplets considered a "Swing" tempo, or "Straight"? Is there any other way to play Triplets, other than what you have shown? Thanks! Jerry

I will be practicing 🙂 this. Thank you

Please upload a video on how to improve rythem sense on keyboard

First time I've seen your videos, you're awesome bud. Fantastic teaching and keeping it musical.

I have bounced around to a lot of different piano channels, looking for something along these lines. You had exactly what I needed! And you explain it so well…Thank you…You’ve earned a new subscriber and I can’t wait to watch more of your videos.

Thanks Sir

What a truly excellent teacher; with a beautiful voice as a bonus!

It was sheer piano....no moment wasted. Seem very easy, though it won't actually will be, for a beginner like me at 63. Real training.

I live for the day that my brain and fingers can work this way

As a guitar player I picked the piano up through the years. In the last year I have started writing a piano piece but got stuck and my left hand just wants to follow the right. Getting my left hand to be independent from my right is a struggle because I hear things in my head but my left hand won't do it.

Is there an exercise that would help me avoid raising my finger when not in use? For example when I hit a key using my right pinky my other fingers raise or sometimes hit its designated key as well. Please help. I'm 33 and would really like to learn.

Faboulius teaching, your music knowledge us awesome, techniques are too good, God bless you

awesome hands on teaching. Now we understand AI, we understand ourselves. Learning is easy, just repeat exercises and the brain will figure it out without any conscious effort. It's all about giving the brain the right exercises, and this guy knows how to do that 👍

I’m so happy to have found you Jason. You’re a wealth of musical knowledge and a treasure! Thank you for your generosity - I will subscribe to your Patreon. I do have one question though… I have a bad habit of holding my breath as I concentrate which began during a high stress job on the computer 10 years ago and has now become a subconscious habit when I play the piano. It’s maddening and diminishes my ability to relax and play freely. I’ve tried meditation, breathing exercises and more without success. Is this common and what do you you recommend I do to overcome it? Thank you again!🙏🙏🙏

Thank God I found your channel sir. You are the best teacher so far. I've deleted other videos from my device because I want to get it write this time around. GOD BLESS YOU SIR.

Here am I in the French Pyrenees. I don't know exactly where in India you are, but take my word for it - you are absolutely beguilling. Brilliant - thank you and please don't stop. If ever there were proof that music transends all language and cultures, you are it.

Thank you 🎉❤

Thank you for helping me play better minor scales are the best

thank you for exercises

I just practice it then :) It’s hard but worth it ! Irealle want to play two hand desperately 😀😀 Thank boss 🙏🎹

Great lesson keep up the good work! (Looking forward to a triplets lesson!..) Kind regards WF Robinson

Hi, I just subscribed your channel. I cant seem to separate the beat in both hands. Can you please explain how to ? Thanks !

I like your methods of teaching but please keep the length shorts

6:51 C,D,Eb,F,G with Metranome 11:35 Same drill and double it Thanks very much Jason, you're a gem!

Hi Nathanial, no matter what I do I still have fingers independent issue. any suggestion? Thanks

Jason. I think you must have been working as a college teacher sometime. Apart from learning to play keyboard or piano one can also pick up a lot of stuff enabling us to learn the English language. Two mangoes in one stone. Thank you very much. I am following your videos one by one.

is there a part 2? Couldn’t find it unfortunately.

Can u please teach some runs and fills of Jordan Rudes

You are a WONDERFUL TEACHER!~ Thanks.

What software do you use for your music on the mac sir?

Really, really good vid - thanks.

The scientific systematic and creative approach yoy are transmitting to your viewers jason..... It is the thing we dont get even by paying so much money to different academies and ustads.... God has specially selwcted and crafted you to share the divine musical knowledge... Believe me.... Never lose your greatness jason.... You deserve ans you will get lot more andbigger than anyone can imagine... Still you are getting it.... I.e.the inner peace you achieve by doing all this work....

So what is it these 6 ppl don’t like in this clip

tanks sir for your video class...

Amazing exercise. Thank you!

I do enjoy how you implement emotion into the lesson. Makes it so fun❣️Thank you❤️

My master you're doing great well

great video man, you make the rhythm to stand out and i could really feel it watching your video ... .the sentence you said will stick with me ... the rhythm comes from your body, not the metronome .... it had profound meaning, you can't even imagine ... you need to FEEL the rhythm ... no metronome will ever do the trick for you unless you start to feel the rhythm in your body .... thanks man, amazing video, i'm glad youtube brought me here

I believe the piano is considered a stringed AND a percussion instrument!

love this! Having the metronome in the background was incredibly helpful, a game changer in fact. You made a subscriber out of me. Thank you Sir.

I had already learned the basics of this exercise from another channel. BUT this is a whole new level. The sound of the minor scale is great and made me realize adding in black keys made it much more challenging whether you are using minor or major. Tge C major version of this was getting boring. The metronome is a great idea as well. I haven’t been doing that.

AMAZING JASON 🌟 BEAUTIFUL ✨🎹🎶 THANKS YOU GOODNESS ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME,

Thank you very much!

Your a very good teacher ,

You're a good teacher 👍

The wait is over❤️❤️

Very very helpful… u r the boss

I am glad to know you ! You are both a good muiscian and music thinker. So, in my opinion, you are a skilled musician and music educator.

NICE!! Good job bro..!!

Wrath a lots of keyboard tutorial on RU-vid, you are the best, straight to the point. If I didn't get it its just my faut because I did not exercise enough. Your teaching is the most I watch. Thank you for your r unselfish contributions to the music world.

True...I have a special thing for the minor keys too. We appreciate you Jason!💯🇯🇲

wow you're the best

Great lesson! It is amazing to practice with you, I like your approach to practicing, especially for beginners. You transform technical exercises from boring to a musical ones. I think to practice like this will give much better result. Thank you very much!

I am just starting with piano (keyboard) learning. I was blown away at 14:55 where it reminded me of a James Bond tune. I hope to continue the daily practice. Thanks again.

Jason and all blessed readers ! I bet i assure i feel that if mozart beethoven bach chopin and all the musical greats were alive today and watched jason teaching sincerely and sharing the true essence of musical knowledge in the most effective interesting practical and simplest way with highlighting so many important aspects of music.... And the passion of jason for music and teaching music.... Their eyes must had been filled with tears, they must had given standing ovation to jason, and they would have given their blessings to jason for his sincerity and would nominate him as their closest musician.

this helped me so much. im 63 and just started piano. you are amazing thank you so much.

Merci for this.

starts @ 5:38

„Wirhout any further delay let‘s get right into it!“ *lol*

You are such a gifted teacher. Thank you for your work and for giving these videos for free!💕♥💞💕🥰

Good Play.

Amazing knowledge!!!! Thank you so much. Subscribed!!

You are a gifted teacher

Excellent video tutorial Jason. It really teaches so many variants based on one basic beat with a melody which makes the exercise very interesting. Thanks, a lot for this unique presentation. all the very best.

Dope Thanks I just got a piano, but haven't played in a long time. This helped loads

Tried the metronome the first time today starting with these exercises. It was a game changer, thank you Sir! How you count the beat reminds me of my ballroom teacher back then.

Concured with Black Hawk. I have found my mentor. Most videos are cut short, but Jason's lessons are complete. I practice everyday with any videos I'm interested in for that day. It feels like I'm in a class and a music lab everyday without leaving my home. Or just listen to the lessons while on the road. The only reason I am not a Patreon supporter is because I don't care to have a Patreon account. If there are other ways to support Jason's channel or Jason, I'm interested.

Thanks!

Thanks
