Thanks!
Why is this comment 5 hours ago and the video is only 30 minutes old?
@@MyCarlover It was a premiere so he posted the comment before the video went live
Thanks for answering đ
Hey do you know whatâs the name of the song you played at 3:35
Never ask a hack, ask the one who KNOWS: Jazer Lee is the BEST!đ As one who has been playing piano for over 50 years, I am glad I found Jazer's channel! He is the Real Deal.
50 years & you are learning from this? Really? Think Iâll quit nowđ€Ż
Does anyone here know the name of the aong song at 3:35 ?
You are so right about all of these, particularly loving the piece you're learning - that is key. Also your brilliant tip regarding practising difficult bits 7 times to ingrained into muscle memory is vital...and I can categorically confirm it works - and how rewarding that is! As for Chopin...†love his works.
You re right I have the same feeling of such an excellent teacher
Thank you for all those videos. Iâm 41 and Iâve started to learn piano 2 months ago and your exercises and tips are a goldmine. I have made so much progress in a small amount of time mostly thanks to you. Greetings from Belgium!
It's hard to call myself self-taught when I've been studying with you for a while. The internet's piano teacher!
Indeed
Jazer Lee is the best pianist Iâve ever heard of! Thanks!
54 yo beginner in my third year. Jazer is the best! All of his suggestions are spot on. My single addition to the list is pay for a good teacher! That will give you motivation like nothing else đ€
Thanks so much Jazer! I'm making progress due to your advices as a self-taught pianist. God bless you!
Thank you. Always valuable advice
Jazer Lee is the BEST! As one who has been playing piano for over 50 years, I am glad I found Jazer's channel! He is the Real Deal.
I've been watching your videos for about almost 3 weeks since starting to learn the piano on March the first. I'm extremely grateful to you for posting such helpful content to learn how to play the piano as someone self-taught. Ever since I started learning I've dreaming about the piano almost everyday, I have found my passion. Love the videos!
Maestro Jazer: thank you very much for your useful advices....un abrazo from the "eternal" beginner.
Thank you Jazer, I really needed tha video.â„
This Q&A is very helpful, thank you Jazer! Canât wait for the next one!
I only play pieces I love. But the first months are hard, it is work there only.
Iâve hit that brick wall hard and largely self-taught with a handful of teaching over the last 30 years. I canât advance into late intermediate or sight reading with ease. Currently, Iâm going to ground level in scales and arpeggios and intending to get deeper in the circle of fifths.
Thank you from Vietnam
I love all your tutorials Jazeer! It really helped me! Tks
Thank you so much Jazer! Your videos are so helpful
Merci for the advice.
Thanks for answering my question! Great video!
Hi Jazer, thanks for another awesome video! Mind if I ask a question as a complete beginner? I've been watching some CZcams videos where they suggest rotating the wrist to support the pinky finger while playing. It seems to improve the sound, but I find that adjusting the wrist angle leads to my fingers constantly shifting from their correct positions. I've noticed you don't seem to use these wrist movements in your videos. So, I'm wondering, is it really necessary? Or perhaps you could even create a video on how to position the wrists correctly. Thanks in advance! Hope my question makes sense.
Thank you so much.
Your videos answer questions I had for a long time, thank you for being the excellent pianist and teacher, your clarity to teach, Im starting to learn piano a few months ago. Thank you â€
Hey thanks for todayâs video! It was fun, I got some ideas and you shared about yourself and played too. Wonderful đ
Hello I just started now I am 40. Your videos are very helpful thank you.
Helpful cover for beginner đđđ Many thanks Jazer đ
"Fun sight reading".......hmmm. I have a different question. I notice we have a similar book library and I'm guessing I'm not the only one wondering about some of the illegible titles. Maybe a liszt could be placed in the description? I have a title I highly recommend for you: THE WINNING EFFECT, by Ian Robertson.
This was a very informative and great video. Thanks Jazer Lee:)
Love to play piano
Working my way through the first Alfred book. I had wondered if I should be trying for perfection on each piece so your comment on that was helpful. I think I probably get to B+ or close to,it on most pieces.
You seem so passionate about piano after 10++ years of playing. Maybe you can share some tips as to how to maintain enthusiasm after all these years. Sometimes I find that the number one reason we quit playing is we cannot find a way to feel the same excitement as the first day we decide we want to learn how to play a music instrument.
Jazer, I hope you will do another Q&A video soon. Thank you. đ
Congratulations on the channel. Your tips are awesome. What would you say is the best way to choose pieces according to one's level?
Hi Jazer, love your videos. And i do have a question. "If you want to be an extremely good sightreader you have to memorise all the notes within bass- and trebleclef, but how many ledgerlines on each clef should you be able to instantly read by sight?" The reason i have this question is because i dont see the point in for example learning and memorising more than 5 ledgerlines on each side of each clef because music are rarely notated with more than 5, or at least i haven't seen that many pieces with single notes more than 5 ledgerlines away from the clef. I just want to hear your thoughts on this topic. Thank you :-)
Hello Jazer! You give a lot of great tips. I was wondering if you had a good one for how to practice coordination. I seem to have a lot of trouble making both my hands play different things at the same time...
Thank you!
Thanks Jazer! Thatâs really helpful and inspiring! Also which Yamaha Piano you got there?
How funny, I saw your message the other day and I couldn't recall the question that I had and just as the video is over I remember it.
Do you try to play or practice on different pianos to experience the different feel and touch? Is it normal to feel completely off when playing on a different instrument?
Juzer, I will write to you something in Greek to put it in the google translator because it is a Greek expression and I don't know how to say it in English (even the translator won't translate it accurately): Îα ÏΔ ÏαίÏΔÏαÎč η ÎŒÎ±ÎœÎżÏλα ÏÎżÏ ! Bravo ! I would be very very proud if I had a son like you!
Love your videos, i am lefthanded-wrtting by i tense a lot my left hand when playing like Hanons exercises. How to relax it?
Do anyone know what he played at 3:35 ?
i want to learn fantasia impromptu, i played it but i still missing some keys and press the wrong ones so can you tell me how to get better at pieces that i play 90% but not 100%?
Thank you. Can I ask, how do I address what I call a 'banging thumb' or heavy thumb. They always dominate when playing in the RH. Thank you.đ
41 years old, took like 5 lessons as a kid, trying to start up by myself. This is encouraging. Iâve always loved the piano but scared of failing.
Maybe think of it as learning, certainly not failing. You will get there, it takes time and patience.
Iâm 65 and just starting backâŠand I only took lessons for about a year when I was in my mid 40âs. Iâm doing it for meâŠnot to be a performer for othersâŠthatâs too much pressure!
Halo tuan jazer, saya baru belajar 1 bulan tentang piano dan saya baru bisa hanon sampai no 3, apakah saya harus menamatkan hanon dulu untuk belajar lagu ? Atau saya bisa belajar keduanya?
Thanks you, saya sangat senang dengan video anda tuan
Hereâs what i have bee doing. Play a piece but dumb it down a bit then later add more of the parts once more comfortable. I hope thats good.
Hi! I used to play trumpet in my high school days and 3 yrs ago I retired and learning piano by myself. How can I improve playing without looking at the keys while reading the sheet? Thanks!
hi can you tell me something Important about piano
I find where I am out is with the numbers of songs I play with my band, I see I am executing more complicated pieces than I was a year ago, pretty much by ear, which is great- I am trying to get my sight reading to catch up to what I can do by ear. I've been using SRF for the past 3 weeks about 4-5 days a week, about 30-45min at Level 2, random scales and rhythms. I am trying reduce the amount of tries it takes to get through any 8 bars that they throw at me. On average, it still takes me about 3 to 5 attempts before executing perfectly without reducing the tempo. I am trying to speed up the amount of time it takes for me to see on note in front of me and make sure the 'correct' finger follows suit. Do i need to wait to be able to execute any level 2 exercise in the first try before attempting the next level? Tks.
If you are learning a new piece, at what point do you start using the metronome in practice? It seems to get in the way, in the beginning, when I'm trying to figure out the notes. So maybe I should wait until I'm playing the piece with more confidence before trying to use the metronome?
Are there any exercises to increase hand span? Octaves are fine but 2 past that I just can't reach! I'm encountering it often in church hymns where I'm supposed to play F and and A. I usually just resort to playing an A octave.
Can we schedule a piano lesson?
Hi jazerlee I'm 58 yrs lady I like to play piano
I'm curious about the depth at which you recommend analyzing pieces. I recently retired and completed 4 semesters of theory at a local university as part of getting back into music. When I started to get into more involved pieces and wanted to be able to play them better or memorize them, I tried doing Roman numeral analysis, thinking that understanding their harmonic progressions and thematic materials would help. But I found that knowing the harmonic structure of a section (relative to the tonic) didn't actually help because of the variability of how that harmony is implemented (the progression of the individual notes) and the fingering necessary to play it. As a result, my ability to play a piece - particularly from memory - seems to be more dependent on the ability to mentally or physically (looking at the keyboard) visualize what comes next . . . or simple muscle memory. What are your thoughts on the depth of analysis which is most useful?
If you want to explore music analysis in depth, consider Schenkerian analysis. It is a method of analyzing tonal music. I took a semester of it in graduate school, and it helped a lot.
hey jazerleepiano I am a 12 year old beginner that's taking private lessons I have a question I am worried I am not learning enough pieces, my teacher gives me a piece I need to learn every week is that enough or should I start learning other pieces as well? And I also have another question is 12 a good age to start learning the piano? by the way you are an awesome CZcamsr
I really need a mentor damn!
I started learning piano by myself just 4 months ago. I find it boring to learn by the book, ive been playing songs i really like just learned how to play them and play them. I can play river flows in you, fur else, experience and nuvole biance by ludovico, compte d'une autre, rues des Trois FrĂšres.
I need some advices
Can somone tell me whatâs the best piano to buy for beginners â€
Floppy for legato octaves also?
Something that hangs me up is when the treble case is written on the bass line or vise versa. Itâs like I become dyslexic. I can read the treble clef or bass clef when they are in their proper places, but turned around, I become so frustrated that I ship those pieces. Do you have any suggestions for understanding how this works to understand?
I find the visual layout of the piano difficult. I can see the C scale and related chords. But the # and flat keys I can't picture. Is there a way around this?
One week to learn blue Danube intermediate level is that too long?
Sir i have an electronic piano for practise cuz the others are so expensive so... what do u suggest to someone like me to practise before i get a nice original piano?
If yours has weighted keys and is touch sensitive, you're in business! I †my Yamaha P-45
What I would be interested to know is: If, for example, I practice 2 bars, how often should I repeat this per practice session? 10 times, 20 times, 50 times? What does a piano teacher recommend here?
This depends on the bars? Like if it's twinkle twinkle little star, why should you repeat it that often if you get it down after 3 times?
My question does not refer to most easy stuff but to more complex like bars 17 and 18 Revolutionary Chopin Etude. @@katttttt
can you play sans last breath phase 3 for me
Hi
How many pieces should you try to learn at one time?
What did you play at 3:35 and where can I get that music sheet?
Did u found what the music from ?
â@@yezzy8829 No :( đ
Damn..
What do you think of John Thompson Book 1?
Thompson is great and has proven itself over time.
It's been around for years!!
I wonder how many of us picked Coldplay - Clocks to be our first melody to learn
How can I become a student? Can I be your student?
Some where over the rainbow. So difficult combining left and right. Sad.
Yes, play the songs you love. That's why Little Emme would never play Beethoven!!
I'm retired and always wanted to learn the piano. You seem like you go too fast for me. I love the idea of learning the chords but there are hundreds of them, or so it seems, and some seem difficult for finger placement.Then you have the intervals as well. Plus you have the left hand working.
In your 20s .. ? So how old are you ? đ I thought you were like 26
The big text on the screen is annoying and distracting. Long time subscriber. Thanks for sharing!
