left hand: check right hand: check oh right i dont have a piano

Young Man you have changed my life. I'm 78 years old and have longed to play for a very long time. I've seen other tutorials,but somehow they didn't get through my skull like yours do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart x

Brian: GOT IT Hands: I am sorry

Left hand: check Right hand: check Both hands together: epic failure Edit: wow, there’s so many likes! FYI I can play much better now, than a few months back. It’s been a while!

This guy is a great teacher. No confusing c minor f major talk, just coordination practice 👍🏾👍🏾

I am 62 years . Started 2 years back ,on myself with help of you tube videos . You precisely put solution to my problem. You are great teacher. what should i try after mastering these 5 exercises. Thanks a lot.

I never realized how little control my brain has over my fingers until today.. and don’t get me started on my left hand..

This is way harder than it looks but I’m gonna stay committed

The coordination in my left hand is actually tragic.

Bold of you to assume i have 10 fingers

A bit drunk and just bought a keyboard as I've always wanted to learn. Watched this all the way the way through and got hyped. This guy is a great teacher - thanks!

The dislikes r from the people who brought a keyboard and now it's there in the corner of their room unused

I'm 16 and for the past 3 years searched the entire internet and scoured through hundreds of videos, but never have i found something as epic as this. You won't understand how much you've done for me.

Just want to add that it is super helpful to start these exercises to metronome SLOWLY, maybe 60bpm or so, and slowly work your way up in increments of 5-10 bpm. Playing slowly PERFECTLY is the key to playing quickly well. Your progress, counterintuitively, will be much faster.

All the sarcastic comments...he is trying to share the joy of learning/playing the piano with those of us who can't afford lessons. He is kindly donating his time, energy, and resources. I for one am grateful. Thank you for your generosity. We need more people like him and fewer cheeky, disrespectful comments.

After watching several other videos, and literally falling asleep, yours was the first one that got me playing and excited to point at the end I screamed "YES"! So excited to have found what I am looking for! You are part of the reason I will become a pianist.

I have learned more from you in this 15 minutes than I have in 2 months of lessons. Thank you for your time you put in here

Took me 4 days to get the hang of these 5 exercises and now I'm relatively better than square 1. Thanks a lot!

Holy crap this is probably the best video I've seen for teaching beginners. Cheers mate

I'm 26 and just bought a keyboard after thinking about it for a year or two. Wish me luck! Really helpful video. Subbed :)

I literally went from being able to play a scale to being able to play a beautiful melody in 12 minutes. Thanks so much!

I am 62 years old and have decided to learn Piano playing. These exercises are really great. Practice this since a couple of days and even I am not the youngest for learning Piano it was helping me extremly to improve my finger/hand coordination. Have seen many other videos. But your's best. Many regards from Germany!

I was so sad I couldn't find UKposts lessons to help me play the piano... Now I found your channel I have started having hope. Thank you!!!

At 73, I am really excited to learn from you. Sounds great with this first lesson.

Holy shit! I’ve literally been struggling for like 4 days trying to learn from absolutely nothing and was able to progress through it all! Thanks man!!!!

When you were repeatedly playing C E G E C, I was singing Do Mi Sol Mi Do over and over again in my head. Good lesson, I really like it and it’s easy to understand

I've just got a keyboard piano for my 53rd birthday and never played a note before so really loving your videos and guides. You make it easy to follow and your relaxing voice helps too. Most apps I found have annoying American accents and want money subscriptions which I don't want to commit to at this stage. Thank you so much. xx

wonderful....58yrs old n startin a new venture....gettin chords together...thx fr Canada

This is one of the best videos I've seen on this subject. I picked up a 4 octave MIDI keyboard a couple of days ago and have been having an absolute blast with it. I'm not interested in just learning how to play a handful of songs, I picked this up specifically to help me more easily learn music theory and have an easier time producing music in a DAW. I figure if I can play around with an actual keyboard, I can more easily visualize notes and chords since I can just play whatever I want on it. When I first got the keyboard, I actually ended up doing all of these exercises by just playing around with it for hours. The scale exercises in particular, just going up and down, then trying it with the other hand, and then getting used to disconnecting that "I moved my left thumb, so I need to move my right thumb too" instinct. I started trying to play a few opening phrases to some songs, and some of them I even managed to recreate the second parts of entirely by ear from what I remember about the tune, so that's pretty neat. I found the easier chord progressions got pretty boring after awhile, so I started to experiment a little bit with it and decided to try playing those same phrases above but with both hands in different octaves. It helped break up the monotony of it and made it far more enjoyable when the usual notes just got too bland to hear anymore. Something I often find myself struggling with is specifically related to arpeggios. My fingers have a tendency to eventually drift into playing the wrong pattern. For example, playing C E G. You go C, E G, E, C, E, G, E, C etc. What I almost always end up doing is starting with that pattern, then before I know it I'm just playing C E G C E G C E G. I'm having a TON of trouble breaking out of that pattern, for some reason my brain always defaults to that. My fingers on both hands are coordinated perfectly, but for whatever reason the pattern suddenly changes and it really feels like I have no control over that. Sometimes I catch it but it completely breaks the rhythm, and then it's like my brain is making dial up sounds while I compute what note comes next and what fingers need to hit it. It doesn't seem to matter how much I play the correct pattern or how quickly I do it either. I just tried all sorts of different arpeggios for about two hours, in addition to all the ones I've tried over the last couple of days, and I always end up going into repeating the first three notes one after the other, instead of playing it the way it's meant to be played. I know I'll eventually break out of that, but if you happen to read this comment, I was wondering if you had any suggestions on what I could try doing to break out of it a bit easier?

I can't thank you enough for this video! I am trying to teach myself piano as an adult. Was getting a bit frustrated this evening and then came across your video. Love your friendly, casual style and how clearly you explain things. I will definitely be doing these exercises! Thank you. :)

Iv'e had a keyboard for years but I have never been a person to sit down and learn how to play it. I have looked at many piano lessons, all too complicated. I then found these lessons and now i'm hooked. Thank you

You are the BEST!!! Never played a piano before & I'm 57 years old. Your exercises give me hope!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you, good sir! I played piano for 4 years in my youth, 20 years ago. This really brought back very fond memories of the piano lessons

After 30 minuttes of playing the piano my wrists are completely destroyed! Thanks for the video. Really good!

I have LITERALLY SEARCHED AND WATCHED...70+ videos, on how to play piano videos for beginners and THIS video is the best one. Simple, straight to the point, clear.... love this. thank you

I love your practice mister When I practice I feel good with piano big respect From Timor East 🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💖💖💖

Man what would we have done without UKposts before? So glad these videos exist - amazing.

Totally awesome video. These exercises, however basic as they may seem, will build the necessary muscles in your forearms right above your wrists. Far more important then playing them fast is to perform the exercises accurately. Take your time to nail the exercises presented in the video and the speed will come in time. I am a new subscriber. Thanks for posting such a helpful video.

I appreciate a lot that your way of speaking is calm, slow, because I usually find many troubles on understanding spoken english. As to piano skills, I am an absolute beginner but very enthusiastic.

Hi Josef thank you so much for your outstanding video's about teaching and practice chords, piano techniques etc. I am Ray Floatwithme a Dutch composer and very nice meeting you. We both have the passion for piano and breathe music. Keep up that great and creative work in all you do. Cheers Ray

This is an amazing video for a beginner such as myself. I love the way you explain the process and I love your filming style. It is incredibly helpful to see the downward angle of the keyboard with your hand, the blue on the digital keyboard, and the notes on the staff. Well done. I look forward to exploring the rest of your content thoroughly. 👍👏🎹

Your instructions and tips are very helpful. Thank you so much.

Quarantine gang has entered the chat

Great method, Great teacher, two tumb for you

isn't it amazing how some songs that are really simple can sound so good

Thank you, brilliant!

Excelente thank you very much for the exercises

Awesome video I’m sharing with beginner students. Thank you! Very well made and visually easy to follow.

love the used of the graphics to assist in clearly showing which keys to play, while at the same time providing the graphic of where they keys are on the scale. I'm just getting started, and this is extremely helpful. .

this was veryy insightful and well planned out. the way you first introduced the c major chord and then gradually made us get more into it and incoporated in in an exercise

you are a fantabulous pianist..thanks for th lesson sir

I am fascinated by how much I've learned in a week than months of class when i find a good video like this one. ONE TIP for anyone reading , once you get the exercise down, try to play the progressions without looking down at the piano; you will be glad you did

Having the notes follow along on the sheet music is SO helpful! I haven't seen that on other piano vids. That alone convinced me to subscribe.

Loving your lessons!! Thank you.. This is my first exercise.. after two hours, I started to get it!! Thanks!!

It's such a nice video. Thanks a lot Teacher

Thanks for the AMAZING lesson dude! Love the way you explain things. Also the camare angle is just awesome, again thanks a lot.

This video is amazingly helpful thank you!
