I’ve been using a digital piano for the past 11 years. I’m only 19 years old, but I have a job now and I bought a real piano. For the first time ever I can finally feel the music. It took me about a week to adjust my fingers to the heavier weight of the keys. But now my fingers don’t even recognize that weight. The biggest tip I can give is that you have to realize that the key is not “harder” to press, it’s just “slower” to press. In order to play faster I realized i had to, in a way, press every key sooner than I normally, would if that makes sense? The best advice I can give is to try and feel the glassy-ness of the keys, focus more on the feel of the keys under your fingertips. Another thing would be, learn a single piece from Mozart. I would recommend an easy sonata like no. 16, because his music imo really helps to develop proper finger technicality and ability. Personally I’ve learned the full sonata 1, the first movement of sonata 2, 3, 7, 11, 12, and 17. His music is very technical and because it’s the majority of what I play I believe it’s a major part of the reason I transitioned from keyboard to piano so fast.
Thank you ever so much for taking the time to share this. I can see myself rereading this often until is all sinks in. Congratulations on being a successful human so young! When i was 8 i was playing in the dirt and when i was 19 i was wasting all my money on drugs and booze. Its unbelievable to think i could have bought a piano. Please do amazing things. And thankbyou again for the help!
I recently found a Full Sized keyboard in the garbage.(Williams Legato iii) I took it apart, thoroughly cleaned it inside and out(sanitized it) got a power adapter, Headphones and a Sustain Pedal(less than $60 through Amazon) and it works! Now I am attempting to train myself. Not quite to the level of playing a sonata.
Oh wow what an amazing find!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :) Please allow me to recommend @JJBartleyMusic His tutorials are very simple to follow and theres a fair range. I started on Fur Elise, i think thats quite a typical starting piece for a lot of people. Good luck! One day please pop back and share your progress :) and most importantly; Have Fun!! :)
Hey man, Beethoven wrote at the top of the sheet for the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata that the entire piece should be played without mutes. So push down the rightmost pedal and this is going to sound so much better instantly :) Good job!
Yes he did and i agree, once you get used to the patterns, the whole piece evolves as you start to employ the pedal. Im glad i didnt care back then though, i was having enough problems without adding more lol. Getting better every day :) started on the 3rd now too but i think that will take a long time to learn so i wont be posting my progress on that.
@@atte9702 Moonlight sonata is actually a grade 8 piece, check out the 3rd-movement. Every piece of music has a depth only understandable to the writer regarding the dynamics, no doubt this piece is complex in its entirety

I listened to a bit of it. Im not a fan. Mozart isnt my style.
Beautiful hobby. ❤
This looks awesome 🎶🎹

Sick bro! I love the ambition you have to learn these complex songs, keep up the good work!
Thank you ever so much for your support :)
I mean this isnt really the most complex song
