Ya know.. a little PayPal Donation box on your website might be a good thing. I know I'd contribute, just because you've put so much work into this. Thank you so much.
Well, since you asked, how about giving some lessons on how to play different styles, like piano bar style, stride piano,ragtime, how to accompany while playing in a band, accompany someone who is singing and to accompany yourself when you are trying to sing.
I could not understsand what he says for the end (during the last ten minuts). What are we supposed to do which is in the scale book? Could anyone write it here please? Thank you!
This was very helpful. I play/read music much too slow, looks like I will need to get a scale book, do you have one that you recommend. I'm looking on Amazon, but have no idea which one's good.
hope you already bought a book by now...but if you haven't almost any scale book would do. As long as it has a lot of scales. i think you should find that information in the description of the prodeuct.
Any thing you know that will make hands grow bigger becasue i can't hit both c's without hitting others becasue my hand isn't big enough...im 15m is my hand still growing?! AAA
blah, i spend almost all my time on my keyboard when im not: playing hockey, basket ball, base ball, or out with my friends, or playing guitar, clarinet,and drums, but i have most of the day to play my keyboard.
Thanks for the compliment. practice structure is as important as what you practice! if you don't practice properly, you'll be going nowhere fast! You need a balance of technique, (scales etc) repitore development (learning new songs) learning to play by ear, recognize intervals etc (ear training) and of course taking some time to goof off and have a little fun!
Thanks for the lesson! You've taught quite a few sets of scales so far...um.. could you tell me when do we get to use those? IT's kinda hard remembering all of them without actually using them. :P
The scales are used all the time:P you play the every day or two to improve you finger speed/quickness, i know it's a bit tricky to remember them, but that's why they're on video that you can watch anytime you want to go back and see. also there are scale books out there that have every scale in them written out for you ^_^
Good lessons. I haven't watched them all, but maybe you could show some exercises to help develop independence of the hands? That's a problem I keep running into, and I've been playing for a while. If you haven't already made a video like that, of course.
The best way to develop independence is to play with both hands at the same time, but at different speeds, (example: playing quarter notes with the left hand and playing eighth notes with the right hand)think of one hand leading and one hand following
Great Lessons :-) I'm currently teaching my daughter (6.5 yrs old) so any advice would be great. Also, great to hear you're a Rex owner! I have an '85.
Hmmm, you're trying to teach your daughter hey? well, i find teaching in general, if you can find a way to make things fun, and add images into the things you're trying to teach her, it will help ALOT in the long run, it'll keep her more interested in what you're teaching, and she'll think of piano time as fun time, not as AHH get me out of here!!
Aw kitty!
