When you went into Hot Cross Buns I was like whoaaaaa becuause for me you were using alot of fingers!

[quentin262144]

NICE WORK !!! (hum hum one thing : "claire" in the song "au claire de la lune" as you wrote it, doesn't take a "e" at the end...)

[scaleshchess]

it doesn't take a la either - it's clair de lune

[GraceGunz]

He so has so much patiance!!! This guy is really good at teaching... I know more than I thought I would in 30mins... I had a keyboard class in H.S and it took me all semester just to learn wut I learned here with this guy in 30mins..

[beatriXkibo]

Fantastic teacher! I wish you the best for everything!

[DeNnaceTheMeNaCE]

This guy is awesome ...

[imen1993]

this is a very good teacher i can tell u coz i have been studin piano for a moment and my first teach wasn't that way i gave me hard composions to play it worked for me but still for a biginner this is the best way to start

[Gredran]

just when he starts, count off 1 2 3 when he starts u should be playing with each time he plays a chord. hot crossed buns for example had a lot of half notes(2 second or beats) and he played it like that, just with chords to make u and him sound great together

[aiyalun]

the music note is same as violin

[Gredran]

its the same for all instruments :)

[redflamesofpassion]

thanks alot for these lessons!@!!!!

they are great!!!!!!!!! im actually learningZ!!! thanks again!!!

[livelli]

i can barely see the numbers ~.~

[flyndaointment]

LMAOOOOOOO at that warning. it reminded me of Zordon from Power Rangers. i'm a saxophone player by nature, but i've always had this keyboard. these videos are really helping me! thanks!

[Darkhearts]

*confused* When you wanted us to play along you did totally different hand style. Am I doing it right to do the 1 hand?

[bubblygirl10]

on mary had a lil lamb i only used 3 fingers 4 that song!

[k0rnX24]

that would be a bad thing. get used to using the correct fingers.

[ottomobile55]

iam just staring to learn to play the piano this is awsome, way better the paying for lesson with teachers with attitude's

[4MacReal]

I use the same software ^^

[corganpaul]

I think this lesson is very clear, but the one thing that bugged me is that he played hot cross buns wrong at the begining, by playing; 3-2-1, 3-2-1, 1-1-1-1, 2-2-2-2 ,3-3-3-3, 3-2-1 ,but there is no; 3-3-3-3 in the song, just a tip for next time, learn how to play the easist song in the world be for e you teach it on the internet

[swedchef79]

Corganpaul, thanks for pointing that out - I never noticed I did that - I guess I wasn't thinking. I think when I made the video the repeated part was intended on getting you to really get used to playing with those 3 fingers. If you look at the written music version - it doesn't have the 3-3-3-3...oops! :) I really do know how to play Hot Cross Buns...

[digitaljimmy123]

Lol i saw that mistake too, it okay everyone make mistake.

[teddykuat]

well..your teaching is clear like crystal tq ^^

[m8495]

I love the entitaner along with betoveens 5th and fur elise.

[Medievalpopcorn]

Entertainer is the title of the first song

[geekxxx]

what is the title for beginning songs??

[roryyyyyy]

loved the feeling in mary had a little lamb......also whats the correct way to play an ascending scale with one hand? i really dont know how to finger past 5 notes

[Robyn923b]

I dont' get it, if 1=C 2=D 3=E 4=F 5=G, thjen why do you use your thumb to play other notes that aren't C???

[swedchef79]

For right hand C position, you use the right hand thumb to play C - but in the left hand C position - the thumb ends up on G - try it on a keyboard :)

[m8495]

you have tooo move around the keybored. you wont be in the same postion forever. theres d postion,g postion and manymore i havent learened yet. but there is scales,like A minor. you can email me if you have questions.

[MollyBepsi]

thank you for doing this - i've forgotten everything i learned as a kid and i regret giving it up. lessons are expensive so thank you so much

[cfrost]

thank you

[cherish92]

wow..this really do work...

[alacaban]

great! if you got any tips mail my acc (alacaban) james berry! thanks again! i love your lessons

[gabzzz12]

Your lessons are sooooo helpful! I really enjoy it. It help me learn piano AND english, what a amazing deal. I laughed a lot when I saw that you maked a mistake in french, wich is my language. It's *Vive la France*, viva is in spanish. Well, that's totally off the point. I just want to say that it's really helpful and I love the slow and clear way you teach.

[SmokerBoy131]

I got bored quite quickly when learning how to sight read so instead I just memorize the pieces I learn. I can now learn beginner pieces very quickly so i moved on to intermediate pieces and I can play them by memorizing them. It takes weeks though for me to memorize these more difficult pieces but the end result is being able to play them really well. Is this a bad way of learning? Should I spend more time in practicing sight reading or is it ok if I continue in just memorizing pieces?

[swedchef79]

Sounds like you have a great and amazing ear SmokerBoy131 - however if you really want to fly - force yourself to catch up your reading up to your ear. I'm sure you will be able to play a lot by ear, but being good at both reading and listening - will make you have amazing potential!

[SmokerBoy131]

I can still read. Just not quickly. It's so slow it's just easier for me to memorize a piece bar after bar.

[SmokerBoy131]

In other words. I read the music slowly and memorize each bar through reading. I move onto bar to bar doing this. The only reading I do is memorizing a new bar. I can read just not quickly. Kinda like learning a new language. You can understand what someopne is saying in a language, but you have to sit their for a moment and translate it in your head when new to a lsmguage.

[Gianluigi06]

Hwy Smokerboy any tips to solve your problem? i seem to have the same problem <.< i try but  go better by just memorizing

[gregorious123]

show-off ;)

[DubxMusik]

that little scale at the end of "mary had a little lamb" makes the song look hard for beginners, well thats what i think, anyways it was cool. goodjob =)

[CalenMeeks313]

[Gogostar]
