I had a period with an excellent teacher (my adult daughter!) For the first 18months from absolute scratch. Then a big gap on my own. Then a teacher that I still have. I couldn't be without the lessons! After trying with and without...a teacher is a must for me. However... if anyone for any reason can't take lessons..you have to ask yourself what is the goal. If its to learn liked songs... pop and rock then YT and apps...if want to learn progrssively with grades ABRSM or Trinity. .and drawn towards classical like myself... a teacher is invaluable...

The best lesson I've learned the hard way is that less is more..20 focused min for deep learning reaps more results than hours of practice.

@itorres008 4 месяца назад

Excellent content. Thanks. I want to clarify that the ability of an electronic keyboard to play louder or softer, according to how light or heavy your touch is, happens because it is "velocity sensitive", not because keys are weighted. Those are independent features. Many keyboards are velocity sensitive while having the light plastic keys. The keys have sensors that measure the speed of the key traveling down and uses that to vary the sound (volume, timbre, etc). Weighted keyboards improve the subjective feel or the touch, and almost all weighted keyboards are velocity sensitive, too. Additionally, another feature available is called pressure sensitivity which senses (of course) the amount of pressure you apply to a key after you've played it. It doesn't relate to piano playing, but it allows a synth to change volume, timbre or other property of the sound it's making.

Great video as always. I think your delivery in this videoi is great. Someone asked me why he should find a teacher when he could teach himself. I told him that a danger of teaching yourself is that you can practice your bad habits until they are absolutely part of your DNA and will be hugely difficult to unlearn.

Thanks so much for this video. It really helps put in perspective what I'm doing right so far and what needs to be added. I started (from zero ) in February with Flowkey. I did all the courses and also finished a piece that I always wanted to play. But now, striating to learn my second piece I realised I need to learn more theory and improve my reading. I'll check ou the literature your'e recommending in the links. And thanks for all your videos! They always help!

@hustlinhitch 2 года назад

Great advice! Yesterday I had this not-so-brilliant idea to buy a book of sheet music of songs I know. I'm not entirely happy about just learning chords; I wanted the notes in front of me so I can practice. I've probably bitten off more than I can chew but we shall see.

@LeCheileMusic 2 года назад

Sounds like a totally brilliant idea to me - good luck with it! 🤩

Hi Mam, very good video and real tips. Man I would like to request you, if possible could you make some videos on reading syncopated rythms, I can read rythms which are on beats like 1e&a but it is very confusing to read syncopated rythms to me. Kindly make some tutorials on it. Thanks

@jeffreyburnwood8084 2 года назад

Thanks for the video! I've been struggling keeping up with learning/practice since i haven't been feeling great for a long time. I don't find that motivation to even turn on my keyboard, but I'll try to push forward and practice. My family always put me down when once I told my mother about how I learned most of Gymnopédie 1, she would always be like what a waste of time, so I got no encouragement from learning on my own, thus me putting down my learning/practice for a while. That being said, I like your videos, somehow i get that feeling of "maybe I should try again, and practice" kind of thing, the kind of encouragement that I needed to hear- Thanks for the encouragement and motivation you give :)

@LeCheileMusic 2 года назад

Hi Jeffrey, I'm so sorry you had that experience, and I hope you'll trust that inner voice that urges you to try again. It can be hard to jump back in, especially if your energy is low, so it can help to set yourself only the tiniest commitment to start the habit - for example, "I commit to turning on my keyboard every day and playing one note". It sounds ridiculously tiny, but often the biggest hurdle is getting started, so it helps to make it as easy as possible. If you play your one note and then decide that you don't want to do anymore, then you've met your commitment and can walk away, but there'll be lots of days where once you've done that you'll want to play just a little more and gradually you'll recover your mojo! Best of luck, and please let me know if I can help. ♥

@mikelehan621 2 года назад

Jeffery playing for your own enjoyment can also be very satisfying. I am a long time guitar player who decided that I wanted to play piano. I really enjoy playing and for the most part I just play with no one really listening. But I really enjoy when I get to the point of playing a piece all the way through. Gymnopedie is one of my favorites. Go back to it very beautiful and you are very close to doing it. Good luck and stay the course.

@jeffreyburnwood8084 2 года назад

As a new player my ambition is to be able to read and play with both hands I'm a long way off and in the learning zone of knowing the notes as they lay on the stave i started with note letters on the notes and find it hard to shake this off to just knowing the note and just the note

@rojduffy9807 6 месяцев назад

More great advice. And, at least something to celebrate ! I've had an acoustic piano for 40 years or more, and dabbled now n then. However, theres a coupleo of drawbacks. One, practicing on a piano is probably No 5 after a violin, recorder, harmonica and trumpet, in rankings of annoyance, to the unsympathetic ear. Secondly, as nice as my piano is, its 100 years and sadly though tuned ( to itself ) its a semi tone Flat, which even the best learner won't sound brilliant on. So, to cheer myself up, I blew £500 recently on a new digital piano, full of all the bells n whistles I didnt need, except, its Sounds Great, it has a Pedal and, best of all, Headphones. So, imagine my delight when you advised learning on something half decent. Thank You So Much ! You made my day. And I can practice day or night, and even when the Soaps are on ! 😂😂😂

I love your videos. I’ve been playing piano consistently for the last 18 months. I took 2 years of lessons over 10 years ago but couldn’t find time to practice. Now that I retired I am dedicating my free time to learning piano. I play 2-3 hours total in 3 sessions every day and I still feel like I wish the day was longer so I had more time. Are asynchronous lessons still available? I didn’t see any link for it.

Thank you so much for wonderful practice advices. I believe it helps not only me but many other piano learners. By the way, I also have a question regarding to piano . Lot of people say practicing on a digital piano makes a piano player progress much slower than practicing on an acoustic piano be causes of the sensitive touch that an acoustic piano can offers than a digital one can. Is that really true Dr Lecheile? Thank you very much in advance.

@LeCheileMusic Год назад

Hi Natalie, as long as the keyboard you’re using has weighted keys, it won’t slow down your progress. 😊

@alte9187 Год назад

Lots of good advice…I did notice that there was nothing mentioned about a metronome. The Metronome has always freaked me out, and I have always resisted using it. What do you think about using one?

@LeCheileMusic Год назад

I love the metronome! I made a video about it here: Master Your Music in Half the Time! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uks4_au3JwU.html

@rolandberendonck3900 Год назад

Yes, she did mention the metronome, when she talked about rhythm. She even mentioned it in her playlist at 4:08

@keys6 Месяц назад

I overcame using it with fear! With Bach Invention no.1 at a very slow tempo. The mentonome helped me play it even before increasing tempo. I count out loud most of the time on new pieces. I ALWAYS count out loud with sight reading.

@miatogiapoe2369 Год назад

I would like to ask this since my fingers are quite small. Will concerts still be able to do? im only at a younger age so I don't know how much they may grow but i really want to play many pieces but my fingers are very short.

@LeCheileMusic Год назад

Hi Mia, that’s a great question! There’s a huge range of repertoire out there to suit every kind of hand and having big hands isn’t always an advantage - people with big hands for example can play composers like Rachmaninov more easily but might have a hard time with Bach or Mozart. And in many cases there are ways around problems caused by small hands, like leaving out a note in a chord, or arpeggiating a chord instead of playing all the notes together. Your teacher will help you figure out how to do this. Best of luck with it, I’m sure you’ll do great! 😊
