Hi dear fellow musicians :) In this other ‘follow up’ lesson we learn more about how we can use the pentatonic hand grip to play thrilling Jazz. You might wanna check it out when having done the exercises above... Cheers from Oliver ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P_VtfPlOS7E.html
Love how the difficulty level steadily ramps up and builds from the previous steps. For me the jump in difficulty from exercise 3.3 to 3.4 was quite noticeable. Thanks Oliver!
Best channel on RU-vid teaching jazz piano!!! I’m so happy that I found your channel. I was trained as a classical pianist since I was a child and always wondered how jazz pianists improv’ed those magical sounds and rhythms on the piano. I’m slowly absorbing everything you’re teaching in these videos... I can already see how my harmonies and rhythms are becoming a little more jazzy already!! Thank you SO much for doing what you do!!!!
I study Mechanical Engineering and Physics, so the workload I have is killing me right now. I stop practicing seriously for months, but I do enjoy listening to your voice while I do my homework lol
I completely agree, Javier! By the end when he plays a little faster it's like a brilliant improv or a solo that can be adapted into a song. Pure brilliance :)
your lessons are magic Oliver. i have wanted for years to learn piano and knew that improvisation was the way, but just didn't know where to begin. after finding you i challenged myself to show up for 10 minutes a day and just try the black keys improvisation. i find that i get going and little bits from this lesson find their way into the black keys improv and then i keep going and really feel it and completely forget about any agenda or worry about 'getting good' or if i'm learning enough. finally i'm just able to enjoy playing music naturally without drowning in ultimatums or dragging myself through rote practices.
The best tutorial i have ever seen. This really changed the way I practiced everyday. Timing and creativity all together...awesome! Thank you very much!
Wow! I am learning and absorbing just by watching this. This is definitely liberating to just watch knowing that it will set my fingers free. I hope whoever gave this video a thumbs down did it by mistake, if not, they need a mental diagnosis. This man is absolutely one of the best teachers, period! Thank you for sharing your passion.
Hello Sir. From now till forever you are my Master of music, I will adhere to every insight ✨ you offer and master it. And I will pass these treasures to others. I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦
Wow, Oliver! You've created an entire course in one video with your unique and incredibly useful approach. What I really like about this is that it hardly even feels like exercises - the sounds are so engaging. I've sent a little contribution your way so you can have enjoy a good sandwich and beverage or maybe a tasty appetizer.
I've struggled with rhythm for as long as I've played, this is an amazingly simple, yet deceptively brilliant, way of teaching right/left hand independence. Thanks professor!
This is next level genius! I love the way you build up the complexity. Thank you so much for this, Oliver. I had to laugh though because..... Oliver: "Please stay tuned." Me: Glued to the screen, not going anywhere!
These videos are so great. It's not just the theoretic stuff which is explained in a great way, but you can just sense the joy of music and playing that's radiating from them instead of just the dry stuff, and it's contagious and inspiring!
Le cours parfait pour progresser pas à pas en s'amusant chaque jour! Cela fait 10 jours que j'y suis, je prends mon temps jusqu'à ce que ça soit parfait. Mais ça ne l'est, et ne le sera, jamais, donc j'en ai pour encore 10 jours pour terminer la video et toute la vie pour me perfectionner dans le plaisir. Merci infiniment Olivier!
beautiful beautiful still that I don't speak English and I don't understand it at all I could understand it thanks to the graphics and the great work of the teacher Oliver phen thank you God bless you teacher there is no doubt that music does not know languages and borders greetings from Oaxaca Mexico
Absolutely brilliant Oliver..., and so ingeniously put across.You have revealed secrets that thousands have sought to learn and discover, while many possibly never did. Thank you sooo much for your generosity and givingness.
Very happy with a new lesson and listening to your calm voice. It kinda reflects the "after" situation. At first, I find myself struggling with new patterns. But once my brain is switched to do so, it's very easy to be so calm and relaxed in playing.
when i was college my Prof never teach me piano like you sir, so that time was so streessfull for me, but im relief now, your videos help me alot. I can safely say you are the best piano teacher in the wolrd. :) thank you for the hardwork that you put to this channel.
i love your videos and your teaching approach . literally the best results out of anything ive tried . ive been a drummer for over 30 years - so this comes really fast and easy for me - but still need to learn the basics and not be arrogant . i feel these lessons give me a good balance of results and also developing the fundamentals at the same time. quite genius sir. thank you :)
Another incredible video Oliver. The build up from simple to difficult you have done with such subtlety, that you somehow take us with you, beyond our own current restrictive limits of playing.
Hey Oliver! EXCELLENT video!! Long time guitar player here trying to sharpen my piano skills and this might be the most comprehensive presentation of how to build improvisational skills on the keyboard that I have seen. FANTASTIC JOB!!! 😀👍🎶
Been working on this for the past few days. Last night I got to 2.4 and even though I didn't get to the free play part yet, I literally stopped at one point laughing uncontrollably. It was silly, brilliant, nutty and liberating all at the same time. Can't wait what the next exercises in this video have in store for me. Thank you! Oh and btw, if you switch switch thumb placement after 2 of the 4 16th notes, this exercise is A LOT harder than what it looks like.
Thank you Oliver ! So far saw your two exercise video and I'm sure I'll see all to learn Piano. Believe me, my fingers continuously move like you said in other exercise video (while sleeping, studying, reading, eating etc.) Thank you for these outstanding lessons.
Been splitting the video over the course of a week and slowly making gains, your videos are so compact it takes time to learn and master, i infinitely thank you for the contribution to my growth 🙏🏽
You're so cool Mr Oliver Prehn especially when you're singing the soft beats. I am looking forward to practising this. The Odd Note Sequence will be very challenging for me but will be very beneficial. Thank you Shifu!
hello Oliver. once again thank you very much for a very nice lesson. your channel is my favourite on RU-vid and your videos have inspired me and changed my approach to playing the piano in a really good way. mange hilsner fra århus :-------)
merci pour vos exercices, une façon de travailler et de progresser très efficace, un grand coup de chapeau pour vos études, j’ai beaucoup apprécié aussi le travail des gammes pentatoniques, bien musicalement !!!!
This is nothing short of pure genius! You are a brilliant teacher! Thank you so much for starting simple and allowing the viewer to progress gradually, so many teachers don't understand how important that is. I am only halfway through the lesson but my sense of time and my ability to move fluidly from one position to the next has already improved so much!
Wowwww ❤❤❤❤ so great of your teaching dear Sir ..I am from far away from your place. but still I could be able to get the maximum benefits from your great teaching Thank you so much..❤❤
This is excellent. I wish this training was more wide spread. Most musical training and teaching, at least here in Canada tends to classical music and training which in fact tends to hinder improvisation and makes learning blues, jazz and some modern music harder. The most I got, and my teacher was quite unique from what I heard from others was learning to improvise chord work on bass hand while maintaining the normal melody on the right and I didn't get this until I reached grade 9 level. I b think both systems have merit and both should be implemented more widely to make us better and more adaptable musicians overall.
Jeeez this is much harder than I thought. Thank you so much for this tutorial, I'll keep practicing till everything is perfectly on time and I don't even need to think about it. I have such a hard time with getting locked into a single scale when improvising, I just got into jazz a couple months ago so really thank you for these exercises. The more jazz I listen to, the more I want to play the complicated stuff, so you can rest assured that I'm going to practice the hell out of this essential stuff. Great videos, lots of love
thank you for doing this video! Im trying to learn how to improvise but I was really struggling because I couldn't afford a teacher, you are the best :))))
Guau😇 you're a special person and teacher whata lucky to find you I like the music of birds cause all days I hear they in front my apartement thankyou very much.I hope to don ate soon
Brilliant as all courses of danish Piano Jedi Master Oliver Prehn. I am very proud that I was able to use this pentatonic hand grips quite fluently. But unfortunately I have to practise really hard and long for mastering all beyond this lesson 2.6 here. I think this will be a great goal for me for the next years 🙂
I don't even play piano (yet, anyway) but for some strange reason I find your lessons compelling in that they teach (me) many aspects of music to a non player. Things like tension between melody and rhythm are not something I ever would have thought of, not at a conscious level anyway. Makes perfect sense, though, and now I will be listening for that on this type music. Fun, and cool. If you aren't, you would make a great professor. "Precisely on the beat .... not so easy". Impossible, actually, it's all degrees of error when you cut the measurement intervals down through just a couple of three orders of magnitude. Those orders go on forever (theoretically, and least down to the time it takes light to cross a hydrogen molecule, so far, which has been measured. It's not long I wanna tell ya, zepto second range,10^-20 seconds. Time may be actually be quantized at some point, as dimension apparently is, but we haven't reached it yet, if so. My simple understanding of it, anyway. If I did it correctly, one nanosecond is to one second as one second is to 31 years. Same equation for the zeptosecond puts the number at about 2300 times as long as the universe has existed, so REALLY REALLY REALLY (ad infinitum) short, unimaginably short, actually. :-) Yeah, a BIT outside the video scope, but JIC anyone is interested. No musical application, just for fun, as you got me thinking, always a dangerous thing, as is now readily apparent from the above.
I never played piano until recently man, ever since I started ive been addicted. You should try it out, its extremely relaxing and satisfying, especially the progress you make.
