And if i have the next improvement, when i can do things with more ease than before, it really is motivating. I look forward to the future. :)

@jazerleepiano 2 года назад

You're doing good BewmBawks, just be patient and you'll get great results. The kids and ''prodigies'' you see on the internet are generally combinations of mininum 3 hours daily practice + great teachers + extremely supportive parents who manage the practice sessions well. The kids may look innocent and naive, but they have had more time on the instrument than most adults- it just doesn't look like it from the surface level. In the end it all comes down to the hours you log in my opinion. Someone who has done 10,000 hours is going to play and see music in a completely different way to someone else who has logged 400 hours.

Jazer, I've been teaching piano for 30 years. I often send your lessons to my students. Your suggestions are spot on for any level student. Respect and kudos.

@enginerdy 2 года назад

#3 is called “chunking” and works for all skills and memory tasks. You learn bigger and bigger building blocks, then you can build something bigger and more complex very easily.

@nahblue 2 года назад

Not only chunking but also the prerequisite: comprehension. From simpler to more advanced. Let's say you see the chord progression C D G - what you take away depends on music theory knowlege. Maybe you first notice that these are chords that are familiar to me (starting with a very basic, but useful, step!). Then that they are all diatonic to G-major, then maybe functional relationships between them, or maybe you recognize this from a particular song in a different key, any kind of advanced concept like this - this is how more and more comprehension lets you form the chunks of information. :)

@arthurw8054 2 года назад

For me, it's both poor practice habits and poor practice methods. Not only am I not consistent, but when I do practice it's too easy to fall into the trap of playing what I'm already comfortable with. I need to develop more discipline and patience to step outside of my narrow little comfort zones. This is an exceptionally helpful and useful channel, thank you.

@rebanelson607 2 года назад

For three months I've been struggling with the beautiful hymn "What Wondrous Love Is This" in A minor. It is not particularly difficult but for some reason I could not get through it without making a plethora of mistakes. I didn't think about going online and listening to a piano version. Thanks for the suggestion. I am self taught and your videos are like a tonic to me! Many thanks!

@jewellevy 2 года назад

Don't practice wrong notes. Allow yourself to hold (and hear) one correct chord while you look for the next one and leave out the wrong notes altogether. You must be trying to play too fast.

@Robertbrucelockhart 2 года назад

The speed at which one can learn a piece depends somewhat on what “learning” means. I hesitate to add to my repertoire because I continue to make little mistakes on previously learned pieces. I have this idea (inculcated in me by my first music teacher) that I should not move on to another piece until I have played the current one PERFECTLY. BUT since nothing is ever really “perfect,” that rather subjective standard makes it difficult to move on to another piece. I’m a self-teaching adult beginner on the piano, and there are still troublesome passages in all 8 pieces that I have “learned” in my first year of playing. My fear is always that I’m moving too fast.

@terryrowe8214 2 года назад

Guilty as charged. Especially prone to playing the pieces I have learned at the expense of learning new ones because it is difficult. But I have forced myself into the remedies you have stated: understanding the composition and how music theory applies or conforms. And trying to understand why I am repeatedly making the same mistake at the same place. Where are my fingers in relation to the next note or notes and how best to get them to the right place. And slowly repeating that pattern and shape of my hands for numerous times. Your training and tip videos are accurate in their diagnosis.

@jewellevy 2 года назад

Difficulty learning new pieces is made easier by daily sightreading at a lower level. The better you read the language the easier it is. Stop focusing on one song.

@chucky35uk 2 года назад

Jazer …I have been tinkering with the piano for a number of years but..never see myself anything other that a beginner. In this time I have just about subscribed to every piano teaching/theory channel there is. I have bought about a dozen online progs to help me learn. Although it’s not been money wasted…with your channel, I think I have found my favourite. Love your playing, your ability to describe the pitfalls and peaks of learning the piano. Keep up the good work. 👌🏼🎹

@p.l.g3190 2 года назад

How timely!! This past week, I just stumbled onto the idea of listening to the piece you're working on. I'm learning the first movement of Beethoven's 5th, as translated into piano by Liszt, and I was struggling because some of the chords that sound great when played at speed, one flowing into the next, sound awful when played slowly, concentrating on each one. Hearing what it's supposed to be made me more willing to put up with the sounds I was making long enough to learn and for them to start sounding better. Thank you for your videos! Keep them coming, please!

@Voooo____oo 2 года назад

Great advice, thank you. I’ve found that I am able to stay motivated and excited most when I don’t box myself into corner - forcing myself, for example, to finish learning a piece before trying anything else. Instead, I just do whatever sounds like the most fun in the moment - sometimes I work on chipping away at a harder piece from the sheet music, sometimes I follow a tutorial on RU-vid, sometimes I practice very simple pieces from beginner books (I’ve only been playing a year), sometimes I watch videos on music theory or like this video! But no matter what it is, I try to always pick something that will push my boundaries a little more and a little more. If it becomes a chore, or you don’t give yourself the option of practicing something that is not incredibly difficult for you, you will not want to continue. I think it’s so important to find the way for you to stay joyful - when learning is fun you want to learn!

@jorgerivas1424 2 года назад

Thanks! Now I don't feel guilty about spending 6 months on a very difficult cello etude. On piano, it's been helpful to do Hanon etudes and also play different pieces during the same practice session. I've recently taken up jazz piano and found that it has improved my overall musical performance in other genres, reinforcing what you are saying about quantity and variety. The flip side is that in playing too many pieces I end up learning morsels and not entire pieces.

@30ghosts1 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for this, as a 53 year old who has done exactly as you described, schlepped along with 5-ish pieces I love my entire life, I plan to take your advice of scheduling in new pieces. What has trapped me with these songs personally is that I’ve never truly mastered them. I’ve made mistakes that keep me stuck, feeling I should not move on if I haven’t really “got” them. I hope this may make you laugh, but some mistakes I make are literally from the muscle memory of having begun to learn them in childhood, and not compensating for my hands growing!! Again, I’m 53. Anyway, thanks very much for your fresh thoughts on how to invigorate my practice.

@ridazahra8582 2 года назад

The first one is so true for me! For a long time I just stuck to the same old pieces because I was too lazy to learn new ones lol but now and over the past few years Ive been playing whatever songs inspire me (either by ear or youtube) and honestly it keeps me hooked on the piano. Whenever im learning a new piece I cant seem to stop because its so exciting!! And I love the challenge too! And I think it keeps me motivated to continue getting better at the piano so I would 100% recommend this tip!

Learning on various fronts - which includes theory - even into areas of counterpoint - after having learned enough of the earlier theory. Smoothness and nuances, timing, reliability/consistency are also very nice and interesting areas to work on.

@e.j.grandmaison8563 2 года назад

Thank you for posting these videos. I've been teaching piano for about ten years. My students do fairly well overall but lately, some bad habits have popped up with some of them. I use these as a sort of "professional development" session. As for myself, I wasn't a piano major in college but was a voice major and of course, we had to play a certain proficiency level to graduate. Unfortunately, my family was poor and I did not have piano lessons before college, as so many do. I was in Band and choir and could definitely read music but beyond that didn't have much music theory knowledge. It's true, the more pieces you learn, everything becomes easier. I was asked to play "mood music " at an upcoming Christmas party for a friend. I froze. I've never been asked to something like that before. So, I went and bought 6-7 Christmas piano books at our local music store and just started playing through them (made sure they were all grade 3+ and above because the easier stuff was garbage). What was fairly difficult a few weeks ago is now relatively easy so I'm working on finess and presentation for an expert performance.

Currently I’m learning some jazz piece and it goes slow as hell since most of the chords there are like EbAdd9/Ab. Without the music theory this chord is a bunch of random notes which makes the progress really slow and frustrating. I’ve recently started the channel in which I’m planning to have a lessons about some part of music theory from adult’s perspective, since I’ve also started playing as an adult. Please consider joining if you plan to learn in an easy way something about theory :)

Guilty but getting better. Can you do a video on tension. I am discovering that I am only able to release some of the tension the more familiar I become with the piece I am learning. Initially it is as if I am clinging on for dear life. I struggle to relax and keep focus.

@IloveSPIDERZ Год назад

I can totally relate to the playing the same thing over and over again for many years, and I even started getting bored with the piano because of that. But to keep the things interesting, I switched over to the pipe organ, and I'm taking lessons on that! It is a whole new animal, but super fun! That added dimension of the feet keeps a very interesting and challenging! And the legato... I love every bit of it!

I'm relatively new to learning piano so watching these vids helps a lot. Also, I'm not sure what I should prioritize for music theory. I go over 7th chords and major scales but I don't really know if its what I should be doing. Any insight on this from anybody would be awesome :)

@Blake22022 2 года назад

Hey, hopefully you've figured it out a little by now but the best way is to play pieces. Know what quarter notes, eight, 16th sound like, as well as recognizing chords. Keep theory in mind while practicing. Only way to "practice theory" effectively is to play music. Theory is boring by itself. Knowing scales is good but theory only gets you so far without real practice on an instrument. Theory is a tool, people used to and still do get good without it. It's hard to get a good understanding of theory if theory is the only thing you focus on, because theory is based upon music, not the other way around

I have been following Pianote lesson plans so I am a ways from "reading" music yet. But I have been concentrating mainly on practicing the piano techniques, scales C, G, Am, Em, diatonic chords, chord inversions, intervals, arpeggios. I want to be able to play these smoothly and accurately because I figured then I would be able to pick up playing pieces easier.

Been doing an hour or more per day since January 1st. to try and improve my playing and especially reading skills. I could not agree more about knowing music theory. When I took lessons as a child/teen, I just read each note separately. Now I notice chords/patterns/keys in a completely different way. It has greatly helped my reading as I'm not stuck on every individual note once I've analysed the chord.

@pwells2389 Год назад

Ah ha! A good reason for all my scales practice popped up in your vid. The incorrect note stood out very clearly to me. Maybe if it was even more subtle I wouldn't have but it shows me at least some of the reason for the incessant focus on scales...

How do you feel about splitting practice time between learning new pieces and maintaining repertoire? I love learning new stuff. But I want to keep older pieces fresh too. Thanks! Love your tutorials !

Please do more tutorials on basic chord theory. I've been playing for years ,and my sight reading is good, but I've never had a teacher who could help me understand how chords are made and what they're called. Elaine Stainburn
