[pugdrummer73]

I needed to learn piano for a test in my school band and this video helped a lot. Thank you so much!

[PSXGAMER22]

[qwerty74108]

[bandawei]

Fantastic. I just got a Produktiv Genossenschaft and with your excellent help I should be playing it in no time. Keep up the good work.

[bogie6316]

Thanks for posting this video! Just learning how to play. Always been a mystery to me how to know where the keys are on the piano, and you made it very quick and easy to learn!! I was wondering. How does a keyboard, differ from an organ from a piano? Is it just the type of sound they produce?

[keatonx3338x]

[Kartel87]

[Yugiohplayer5]

Very useful information! Thanks so much! I wanna be able to play the Piano like my brothers. :)

[swedchef79]

How is it a scam when I spend a lot of time making these videos to teach people how to play for free? Not really getting that. What is a scam is using this space to promote your website, when I produced this content.

[teehood2]

man ah love youtube cause its helpful and thank you

[Bertdoom666]

Thank you

[chancafer]

This was my first ever piano lesson. I actually learned something too! Thanks for the effort!

[sarah7589]

thanks!

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Nice teaching style. But the first illogical step is when you jump in with the notes C and F, having just introduced ABCDEFG.

[franciscount]

thank you...!!

[lamsauping]

good !

[trueday2001]

so dark...

[cindyvermillion]

good and concise. thank you. the only suggestions is that you may want to turn on some more light and probably raise the volume a bit for those who have weak speakers in their computers.

very good class. thank you.

[dexarouskies]

that was razor sharp clear thanks.

[kendra11510]

what was the compostion you started out with called? i want the music sheet for it. i play the violin and with music background it really helps when your trying to play a new instrument and this lesson really helped thanks a lot

[Crapitsmatty]

at 0:49 he says it.

"Fur Elise" by Beethoven

[turxxx]

Wait a second. Wait, wait wait . . . What comes after C again?

Just kidding! Well done. Great introduction to piano keys.

[fu210botiq]

congratileisan from romania ... ..if u can translate or make a soft i will be first who it will buy .. and thanck for helping us ...

[LOveTwiNz]

This The first lesson that didn't make me want to pull my hair out of frustration!

[sanjosemike]

I think you play beautifully. But I wouldn't expect "early" students to play anywhere near as well as you do.

I believe in encouragement. But if students expect to play like you do after a few lessons, they will be vastly disappointed.

However, I would continue to encourage them. Life is a missing hole without music.

[ninomiya]

thanks so much! this was the first online lesson i've come across that goes slowly and is easy to understand.

[forevanesce]

that was ridiculously easy it's not even funny haha i've been dying to learn how to play the piano and now i can finally learn from you. your an excellent teacher my friend.

[zvitorap]

isn't h instead of b, and b is lowered h?

[godelike]

that's the german system you're talking about. in english speaking countries, b is the german h.

[lioness4113]

Thanks a bunch for such a great tutorial...I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano, but money has always been an issue. This, however, has solved all of my problems. Thanks again! -hugs-

[gigi3763]

very useful

[joshsbrain]

very good video, you have a great aproach to teaching piano. I am just a beginner but a fast learner, I will be watching all of your videos and subscribing. Thanks for posting these great videos, and keep up the good work!

[L4guna9]

Awesome! I was searching for something starting from tha basic basics! Thanks a lot!

[gvwolf]

which is white keys are a mjority and black keys are minor ;) lol

[swedchef79]

No of course not - you just have to deal with flats and sharps with black keys - those come later. Some older keyboards had the colors reversed if that is helpful. : )

[EAdrian08]

YEAH! i know the C,D,E,F,G,A,B keys now. lol! thx alot

[mikeypezza]

finaly sum1 went to basics!

[rhinotillexis]

lol i actually learned something! thank you!

[rabbit827]

Thanks so much for the free lesson. You really are a good teacher.

[mickderkskouta]

pretty kewl but für elise is a piece litterly millions can play. Should be possible after 1 year or so although the 2nd part is a bit more difficult but still easy ^^

[allday850]

that was a very simple well explained video thanks!

[chone7]

thanks, that helped alot.

[femmemimi1]

[shizzle5]

...shutup...

[tmib92]

Thank you for this great lesson!

[Mu8384]

you r a champ

[Mu8384]

dude your a champ

[atropipertio]

thank you

[Jizu16]

why Do is C instead of A ? Because the first note on the Piano is A?

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Well hardly any music teachers know this. But I explain how ABCDEFG were originally defined. Click on my username to find the video. The do re mi system came a hundred years after ABCDEFG. Cheers, john

[Jizu16]

thanks!

[myles562001]

[ataris99]

thanks for the lessons :D

[oOSweetbabyOo]

hey.. thanks!

[astropastor]

Great Great lessons. Love them. Thank you very much.

[digitaljimmy123]

Hey thx , this really help, now i can find my keys on piano easiery!!

[lpag119]

but why there is an single black key at the left corner?

[swedchef79]

If you count down from C (before the 2 black keys) you will notice that the piano starts at A. If the piano continued lower than that you would see another pattern of 3 black keys. :) Hope that helps.

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Hey, nice video, but kids must wonder why you start with the 3rd letter of the alphabet.

In fact when I show kids my way of teaching the piano keys from A to G, they usually exclaim "Hey, that makes much more sense!"

I have found the historical origin of defining the pitches, and they start with A, logically enough. The story of how this was done is fascinating, and should be more widely known. See my video ...

[chris1002clf]

thank you sir... good teaching i will practice that chords ..im intrested for piano its different in guitar..

[zlpdjb]

super cool! I am gonna start to learn it

[brujithaz]

[paigehk]

[Shanto420]

Best lesson on the net!

[KEYSONGS]

good lesson

[thechinadesk]

So far this is the clearest, most concise introduction to piano I have come across on the Net. Only someone confident in his own ability and genuine in his desire to help others, could make a tutorial as understandable as this. Much appreciated.

[asdfghjkl03]

THANK you so much!!!! it help me understand better on where the keys are! :DDD

[santiagocabrera]

[valneedham]

PLEASE teach musical alphabet backwards as well - VERY important. ABCDEFG, this is all we need you see, say them backwards every day - GFEDCBA.

[1nformer]

Goddamn you're stupid.

[persianlolita2002]

wow!! very nice!! thanks

[roserose2007]

wow...i finally get to see some thing that i think i might be able to learn. i bought some books & printed some online material but it just get more & more confuse. Thanks i'll watching the next part.

[lenkaolenka]

when beginners start learning piano and devlopiing fine motor skills, he/she doesn't need to THINK where he should look for a key, but he/she ought to SEE each key. This is why when we drive cars, we deal with street signes. Nobody make us to memorize order of streets.

[hellavaguy]

It was very basic, but ok if you didn't know the white keys. The only critisism I would have is when you were dooing the 'test' at the end, it wasn't always that easy to see which key you were pressing. Maybe you should have used just one finger

[Smith4Heisman]

thanks

[enfusion81]

Very well done, thank you.

[blcerico]

Good job sir, Thanks

[amberxander]

thanks this help me so much

[ebufford]
