I don't actually need the tutorial cuz i know how to read but you are such a good teacher
Thanks for the great comment!
Tom
Same here... I know how to read but for some reason, it is so much easier to learn when someone breaks it down piece by piece. And you did a great job! Thank you so much
Thanks @juan gonzalez
Tom
Why do you watch tutorials if you don’t need them ,my guess is you do need tutorials that’s why you are here 😂
@@del9936 no. You are quite wrong. There are two types of tutorials in piano. One is like this that explains what is on the sheet music. And other has a suggestive interpretation. This second one says what dynamics and what should the piece sound like in a microscopic way. Look I really cannot explain it to you.
tonebase.com is the site that has several tutorials like this one. Just see for yourself
Tom- hi! Your guidance to learn to form the chord shape with your hand a microsecond before hitting the chord notes is super helpful! These videos with the score above the keyboard showing your hand movements and fingerings are extremely helpful! ☺️I became a “patreon” to say “thank you”!!
That's great and thanks for your support!
Regards
Tom

I’m back and I’m happy to announce that I am at part 2!!! So happy, I’ve nailed part one. And I’m back to continue on my journey with this song I have gotten halfway through this video im at about 7:30. I’m so excited thank you for the best tutorial on CZcams for this song. I’ll be reporting back when I finish part 2 which will take me probably 2 or 3 more practices, like I said I don’t ever have much time to practice this but it’s coming along really well. I’ll report back when I have more news to share! 👍
+Random Channel excellent! Good luck!
Tom
@@KeyboardSkillsPro Part 2 is coming along! but i'm having a little trouble moving my left hand back a fourth to different chords and also cant put them together yet. But i'm working on it! Ill update you when i can put them together!
@Random Channel Thanks for the great comments! Good luck on your Maple Leaf Rag journey. Tom
@@KeyboardSkillsPro Thank you!

@@KeyboardSkillsPro have one more question for you is ragtime one of the hardest genres on piano ?
Um...every style has its features, quirks...once you’ve got the general style of ragtime, most pieces follow a similar pattern
@@KeyboardSkillsPro thanks for the response!
@@Harvsguitar_ no problems
Bro Thank You So much.. but i really need to learn how to sight read! I already learned the Entertainer without reading sheet music. and I am stuck with Leila Fletcher book 3 hahahha. Thank You Tom!!!
Yes reading music is an important skill, but so is playing by ear. Good luck with your musical journey!
Tom
I need to learn the Trio, this part is very difficult about rythme thank a lot from Paris Mr Bailly
Keep at it and thanks :)

Amazing video, I understood everything perfectly 😁
Please can you make a video explaining how to play the music of salut d’amour.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Many thanks - so pleased you enjoyed it.
Presume you mean the Elgar?

Yes I mean Elgar.
Thank you. I wonder why anyone would dislike this video because I am only 12, grade 4 and I understand this so well
@@yenuladealwis5748 Cool - will check it out - I think sometimes it is an automatic troll robot!
4:40 right hand
trying to figure out richard smith's version of this on guitar. Quite hard!
Will have to check that video out
Better alternitive to amosdoll
Thanks for watching!
Very good tutorial, but why did you change the right hand part from 8:50 on every time you repeated?
Thanks for watching - it was probably my inability to multitask!
3:09
this is sooooooo hard.
Challenging! Keep at it and it'll come!

@@KeyboardSkillsPro thanks I've been practicing! Its a great tutorial!
@@drewdixon8327 Thanks :)
Ok this is the right one not your other one but thanks anyway
Glad you liked it! Thanks
Tom
can you make a pineapple rag tutorial? they way you broke down each element of maple leaf made it really easy for me to learn it and i would love it if you could do the same for pineapple rag
Hi @charlotteeden yes this is coming :)
Tom
@@KeyboardSkillsPro Tom Brier
Superb player and such a sad outcome for him
@@KeyboardSkillsPro Yeah😭
Part 1 was easy, but I am having some problems with Part 2, do you perhaps have any tips?
I would practice both hands apart more :)

Like my videos? Please support my channel: www.Patreon.com/keyboardskillspro
@@KeyboardSkillsPro Thank you for the tips :D
@@KeyboardSkillsPro I am improving, but I am having trouble speeding it up, map you please give tips? Thanks - Josh
Practice both hands apart, then work with your metronome at about 50% final speed.
Once you can play increase tempo by 5-10% each time :)
@@KeyboardSkillsPro Thank you :D
10:08
Very helpful tutorial! However you played the G F octave part wrong - it should be G Bb Db F, unlike you did in at 9:05 and 9:47.😊
Ah the glare of the lights and cameras! Thanks for watching! Tom
@@KeyboardSkillsPro ah yes... The glare in my ears that made me not hear the Bb... Lol
this is the hardest part of the song
Hmm I think part 3 is trickier :)
Could you do a pineaple rag tutorial, there aren't many
👍😀
I’m struggling with this section
Keep at it!
Cuánta práctica es
Pregunta un niño
It takes quite a bit of practice to learn this part!
Got through the first part easy enough, this one is being a p.i.t.a. but they always do come together eventually. You keep talking about these quavers. No idea what you mean, thought it was your pet slang for something but I take it it's a real term referring to timing. I never understood timing notations to this day, I just play them so they sound right.
Quavers are a type of note length (also called 8th notes in the USA) - perhaps take some music theory lessons as this will help your music making no end.
Good luck with Maple Leaf Rag!
Tom
@@KeyboardSkillsPro I might've guessed it was a UK thing, lol! Well I've pissed away at this over the past week or so when I get around to it, and, funny, like I said, they always somehow come together! Trying to put the 2 hands together was a royal p.i.t.a, it was pretty pathetic. But - like to all the others out here that might struggle with this - all of a sudden, somehow, for some reason, at some point (like after several 100 attempts) your hands start to come together and get "synchronized" in the un-synchronization. It suddenly starts on the first measure then the rest just starts falling into place, almost like dominoes. On to part 3! :D
@@flyurway Well done - keep at it!
its a good tutorial but without synesthesia is difficult to follow
I find synesthesia hard to follow - stop reading lines and learn to read the music :)
Tom
This piano tutorial is awesome.Please Check out miracle ernest music on CZcams.
Your his favourite piano CZcamsr
He would like you to repost him.
Thanks - glad to hear you like it.
@miracleernestmusic - really liked your music videos - well done and keep it up! Tom
Thank you so much😀
Miracle wants as many views like you.How long did it take you?
@favourernest - about 2-3 years hard work! It's a slow burn process....
Key points I follow are:
1) Decide your target audience and orientate your videos to them
2) Record and edit efficiently i.e. 3 videos at a time. Upload them so you have material in advance.
3) Follow the '4 to1' rule - each week of the month, post a video
4) Share your content on social media sites
5) Keep at it! I have a very small subs number but it grows daily.
Be grateful, as I am, for to everyone who watches, comments (positively!), shares and likes your content.
Please do email me via the website for more information - www.tomhorton.co.uk
Best wishes...
Tom
@@KeyboardSkillsPro
Thank you very much.I really appreciate.😀
At 7:08 you don't explain the right hand
Yes I did seem to gloss over that!
Same rhythms as before just alternating between Ab and F notes
Very interesting on a theoretic and more advanced level, but not so useful as an inexperienced piano player. Too fast and flimsey for that. I would love a more slow and structured walk-through of both hands initially (where all relevant keys are named), and then possibly have the remaining perspectives added afterwards. I learned the first part through Amosdoll.
Sorry you didn’t enjoy the video -flimsy????
@@KeyboardSkillsPro Thank you for your response. Yes, well what I mean is just that in the video, you sort of go through different musical aspects and points of this song in a rather shifting manner, which is probably great for a more experienced player, whereas I - being inexperienced - need a very slow, clear and chronological walk-through of both hands (one at a time) in order to benefit from the video. - Preferably divided into subsections for faster learning and better overview. I've learned part 1 of Maple Leaf Rag in about a week in that manner. If it were possible for you to expand the video with such an addition - or upload it separately - I would appreciate it extremely ☺️ Thank you,
Ah I understand what you’re saying. Yes that makes sense. Thanks for the suggestion :)
@@KeyboardSkillsPro Thank you ☺️
Nice video but you spent a lot of time on the first few bars and the last bars you went over in like 2 minutes. Might as well look at the sheet music.
Well the first few bars are important :)
Thanks for watching! Tom
You don’t tell us what notes to play in the right hand
Which part of the video are you referring to?
@@KeyboardSkillsPro idk I can’t really see what notes your playing and can’t read music so I would’ve found it useful if you told us every single note to play. That’s what amosdoll music does and I can play anything he teaches because of it. Not trying to complain or say it’s a bad tutorial but it would make the video more useful. Watch his tutorial on maple leaf rag and you will see what I mean. Sorry for long comment and complaint.
Thanks for the feedback
That’s not really the style of video I produce; there are other channels where notes are played visually I.e synthesia etc
Thanks for watching my videos :)
@@KeyboardSkillsPro okay thanks for letting me know. But this is the only video I can find of this specific part of maple leaf rag
@@KeyboardSkillsPro I also have a question. does the 4 parts of maple leaf rag you uploaded cover the full song from start to finish?
Going to fast can’t keep up
Sorry! This is a fairly normal teaching pace - if we went any slower it would be harder!
Perhaps try an easier Joplin rag before tackling Maple Leaf? I’m recording some other ones soon.
Keyboard Skills Pro No I started today and can already play the first part and the second part a little bit too. I really found this tutorial really helpful don’t get me wrong on that. Perhaps I need to spend more time on this piece.
Keyboard Skills Pro And can you aslo make a tutorial on Pine Apple Rag too? It’s also one of my favorites and I think your viewers would also appreciate that too. Just for an idea😀
@@solid_kerim3202 Ah ok - well good luck and thanks for comments - always great to get!
@@solid_kerim3202 Yes I have got the Pineapple Rag on my to do list! Tom
Can you please go slower next time. You don't even show the right hand for one part
YOU ARE GOING TOO DAMN FAST IN THE SYNCOPATED SECTION!!!! I CAN'T FOLLOW YOUR FIGURING!!
Lol - run the video at 1/2 speed!
Sorry I didn’t go slow enough for you :(
Tom congratulation!! i am italian and i understood everything!!!!!
Bravissimo! Thanks for watching!
