the random speeding up during fur elise as a begginer is so real

Bro, please play a full piece and trying to get 0 miss. Just imagine piano as rythem games that you need to full combo to get better score, not just trying to pass hard level and get nothing!

I noticed in the beginning that you said you learned using synthesia videos. They’re good at first, but they make it more difficult in the long run to progress. This is because as you move to more difficult pieces you need to pause the video all the time because the music and hand placements are all over the place. With the sheet music all you need for any part of the piece is right there. I’m mostly self taught as well as well; I had a teacher through my school (I go to a performance arts high school) who largely encouraged exploring different genres of piano music to find one you love. He also said the most important thing was to *learn to read sheet music* it’s probably one of the most important things for progression. Start as soon as you can, every second benefits :)

Bro, i really recommend you to star reading sheet music. You are progressing really fast and at one point you’re gonna be stuck trying to learn one piece that doesn’t take that much time if you know how to read sheet music, Also try not to play hard pieces at full speed at first try to play them at the same speed you’ll gain the speed after you practice it. You are playing really good this are just recommendations keep playing!

I study music and been learning piano for about 2 years now. What I can tell you can make you make a big improvement is reading sheet music, because at some point you're probably going to end up being stuck trying to learn a piece watching tutorial videos. And learning pieces like that make you waste a lot of time that you can use to practice more. Also while reading sheet music and knowing a little of music theory you can begin to practice making your own arrangements. You definitely have talent and your ear must be sufficiently trained because you play amazingly well for 1 year of training, but at some point reading sheet music is going to make a huge difference. If you feel like you can't push yourself enough to practice reading sheet music, I recommend you get into an academy or get a teacher, because there they're definitely gonna make you learn it the hard way and it gets really fun once you finally understand what's written in a sheet music.

Wow, Fantaisie impromptu on only month 7 is crazy, hope you never stop playing, you are amazing!

I highly belive u were born to do this. I mean u play fantasie impromptu op.66 with only 6 months of experience... wow man. Keep going!

You've done a really amazing job, there is so much effort put in it. I know it's hard to stop but try to learn not the most difficult pieces first. After learning a while you'll probably be wanting to have your fingers fit in order to play not just what's written but exactly and precisely what you need. Bach Preludes and especially Fuges can teach really well how to control your fingers and master piano. Just choose a few of them fuges and eventually you're gonna be playing a lot better. Good luck and continue it

23:12 this was me half a year ago desperately trying to play this piece and it wasn’t worth it. you will develop muscle memory of you playing witch makes it way harder to play even then you have become good enough. trust me, pls try to learn pieces at your level before trying things like this. you have so much talent so pls don’t let it go to waste🙏 (btw English is now my first language so sorry if there is something you don’t understand😅)

I tried learning fantaisie and Clair but lost interest, but watching you def gave me the courage and motivation to continue the songs and NEVER GIVE UP🗣️🗣️ I’m going to look back on this when I lack motivation and remember if you can do it so can I🙏

Conservatory student here (im very strict) I do think you have some musicao talent, your hands seem good and have a minimally good position, playing like this which isnt very good but in yiur circumstances is indeed impressive, the op 25 11 did the surprise me You should learn notation and theory, helps so much with learning and reading pieces, using synesthesia just isnt the way to so it, also please get a good teacher, you need to study the basics of technique (which can also be good in a certain way like learning the healthiest ways to play with a taubman like approach instead of a more finger independent technique which can result in serious injuries), also learning self taught is a terrible way to learn, you might create serious bad habits that result in tension or even injuries, you should also train with a metronome Getting an actual piano is also something very important, to play seriously one needs a serious piano, its a matter of technique and sound control, no good teacher will allow you to keep playing with this for more than like 2 years, you can also rent a piano which is what I did, there are also digital pianos with hammers which allows you to build technique and these ones are cheaper but the sound control suffers Playing in such a dark envoirment also doesnt help (I told ya, im a bit strict)

Dang bro. U r cooking on the piano!!! I hope ur self teaching was worth your pian journey

Are you a alien your progression is amazing

A lot of these pieces i tried learning while i started too and ended up coming back later to fix them. I think its great because it forces technique on you but you'll be so focused on hitting the notes you miss out on the bigger picture. Its absolutely fantastic how far you got in a year but always have something simpler on the side you are learning that you can perfect. Also a good tip is to practice without petal it makes it so easy to spot mistakes.

Incredible progress! As many others have said learning to play Fantaisie Impromptu in just 6 - 7 months with no prior experience or musical background is really impressive! Clearly you have a lot of potential. Keep practicing hard and never give up!

Nah that's Insane Progress through hard work. Well done👌🏻👍🏻

Learning music sheets is very easy and would help you learn whateevr u want without uaving to remember it all. A suggestion is to just look at read the wikipedia page "list of musical symbols" i learnt it from thete and since i can just read and learn whatever i want, well not everytjikg ofc

Trust me I can sight read and while it takes time to get good at reading the pieces you are playing( fairly high level) it is sooo worth it you are able to learn songs 10x faster. Essential to mastering an instrument

As someone who is in the exact same boat as you (doesnt know sheet music and is self taught) the fact you played fantasie impromptu in 7 months motivates the hell out of me

I started playing piano about 1 year ago I also watched piano synthesia videos to learn fur Elise and the Turkish match I learned as my first to pieces I then learned lots of easier songs that weren’t classical. Later I came back to classical after learning Un sospiro if I could recommend you one song it would be passacaglia it has the same type of melody which made me fall in love with Un sospiro and moonlight sonata that I couldn’t find anywhere other than insanely hard Liszt pieces and trust me I’ve searched but it is now one of my favorite pieces to play and hear

Wow! This is so inspiring! Thank you!🤩

Lmao attempting fantaisie improptu on day 24 is crazy! I'm actually self taught too, and this is super relatable, I would always try to play the hardest piece, but I wouldn't care about accuracy or if I was sloppy. I suggest dialing it down, master the basics, you won't people able to play successfully until you do. 7 months to play just the notes of Fantaisie impromptu is impressive, but you won't be able to play it without mistakes, and expressively without years more of training. That's unfortunate, but it's worth it. In the end, if you keep it up, and focus on perfection, these pieces will come a lot easier. If you practice like this, you really aren't good at piano... you're good at specific songs.

You're doing great, keep going!

I’m 17 and I started playing a piano only one month ago. Now I can play the song from “moving castle” and bella ciao. Thank you for this video. It really gaves me motivation to play better. I hope that one day I will play like you!) And YESSSS I can’t read sheet music yet… it’s pity a bit. But I’m really to lazy and afraid that it’s hard. Sorry for my bad English, I’m from Russia!

Look, you clearly have a musical soul and you have that musical 'touch' to the way you play. I think that you can be very good at the piano. If you look to only play pieces to 'impress those who know nothing about the piano' then this is the way to go. But for someone who plays with a piano teacher, who practices scales/arpeggios etc., does daily sight reading etc it's clear that a lot of basics and structure is lacking here. It's a matter of personal choice: do you wanna play just for fun and not be too good? Then great, this works well and I hope that it offers you everything that you want cuz you do seem to be having fun and that's the most important thing. But if you want to actually get good at piano and sound good, you will need basics and a teacher (although I know they can be expensive!). Best of luck!

You are so amazing and inspiring!!

You can play all the songs you want, but a real pianist combines rhythm, dynamics, texture etc to make a beautiful sounding piece. Its more than notes and sounds. If u can't play a piece at a stable tempo, its not worth moving on. I'm not trying to criticise but there are certain parts where your confidence seems to drop while playing. This is coming from a self taught pianist almost 7 years now so I'm not just speaking crap because I can :)

fun fact, I am 15 and I also want to learn how to play the piano, my parents say that I should only start at 19, they say that I should focus at my studies : (

Franchement bravo à toi je suis presque jaloux… Le seul conseil que je pourrai te donner : Travailler des pièces plus abordables ( moins ingrat une fantaisie impromptue ou qu’un prélude de Rachmaninov ) mais qui t’aideront à te forger des bases solides tout en étant satisfaisant à travailler. J’ai démarré un peu comme toi, en passant presque l’entièreté de le première année de pratique à vouloir jouer l’opus 55 no 1 de Chopin ( moins dur que la fantaisie impromptue mais j’en ai quand bien bavé surtout avec la coda ) tout ça pour un résultat qui, avec du recul n’était pas incroyable ( voire médiocre…) et je pense que si j’avais utilisé ce temps à bon escient j’aurais un meilleur niveau aujourd’hui ( le pire étant quand on me demandais de jouer autre chose que la pièce pour laquelle j’avais bavé pendant des mois et que je me retrouvais bredouille devant le piano) Enfin bref tu as quand même un très bon niveau technique, hâte de voir ce que ça donnera dans l’avenir !

keep on going I know your gonna be a great pianist one day!

Hitting the piano keys when making a mistake is so relatable 😭🙏 4:01

I get that you enjoy this type of brute force learning, but isn't it depressing that even after 12 months you cannot play a single piece well? Its so much fun mastering all the timing and dynamics of a good intermediate piece. If you put the same effort into one of Chopin's nocturnes as you did learning fantasie impromptu it would genuinely sound amazing and you would enjoy playing it so much more.

Oh wow this is such an incredible progression! You're learning very fast and I know you'll be great at this in the future if you keep it up! :D I wish you good luck and have fun with your journey. ❤ New subscriber btw, looking forward to seeing more from you

I love watching your progress, you play beautifully. I as well am learning paino.

This is insane. I’ve been playing piano for over a decade on and off and recently decided to learn fantasie impromptu to challenge myself-I feel there must be a level of musical background or dishonesty with the amount of time you’ve spent learning piano, or you practice 5-7 hours a day, your form and hand speed is unbelievable for seven months. Either that or you are genuinely a genius.

Well done! Keep going (as long as you want to) :)

you need teacher my story: i played 1year by myself then 1 year with teacher then 3 years by myself what i noticed that i needed teacher, he gives you very useful tips (like play slower), and what's the most important that comes from teacher is interpretation - singing the piece, and he explains how to learn, you cant learn a piece without training it, you cant just play, you need to use metronom, you didn't end even fur elise, or impromptu (finishing a piece is playing 100 times in tempo in a row and make 0 mistakes) just get the teacher for just one f🙏🙏🙏ing year, and you'll be the best because you have potential, you'll see

C'est incroyable !!! Quel talent. Tu as vraiment un don continu 💪

You have talent, but ( I hope you take no offense) you are progressing way to fast, and without learning sheet music? The thing with youtube tutorials and copying hand placements is that it’s always less accurate in many situations. Sheet music allows you to learn pieces completely with it’s dynamics, ornaments, etc. It’s also very important you learn music theory. I recommend buying solo piano books such as the Alfred’s series. They are great books that facilitate learning sheet music and theory. Also, I doubt you can FULLY complete those last few pieces with copying hand placements. Of course we go back to its dynamics and those things. But prove me wrong!

this is amazing!!!!

You pick too difficult pieces. It's not good

Awesome progress!! I just started so seeing this is great inspiration for me 🙏🏼

please learn how to reed sheet music and go for music at your level... you lack dynamic, consistency and mechanical skills, and that ruins your performance... still a good job, just dont get tempted by pieces that aint at your level

all this wihtout a pedal would be impossible for me

bro you are a beast in 12 days you do what i do in 1.5 month

HEYYYY !!!!!!!! I STARTED WITH WET HANDS TOO !! (That's it i'm just happy someone else did the same as me)

This is the most believable progression I’ve ever seen 😂 At this point bro is gonna be the next Lang Lang in a year

bro, how are you so good after just three months? I'm here struggling to play with both hands together 😭

thats soo inspiring man

La Campanella at 9 months was crazy bro. I’ll give you 2 years and you will play this masterpiece errorless 😂

Congrats! Although you still cannot play any of the pieces you showed, keep with the good work and in a few years you'll be able to play them properly!!🙏🙏 A little tip: study musical periods and their characteristics edit: not coming from a conservatory's student but from a self taught who got the opportunity to take particular classes for free

I love how as you progressively got better and better, the piano also got progressively more epic 🗿 You got very quickly good at it, great progress! Don't ever stop practicing

assez dingue le progrès continue comme ca!

this is such a glow up with the improving piano and everything

nice job man!

fantaisie impromptu in 7 months... im sorry for playing the same instrument as you

Eat your heart out r/pianolearning, this guy just brute forced a grade 8 piece in 7 months.

Crazy progress dude! Tryna be like you one day

I also self teach myself and I can play rush e and lots of other hard songs. Only been playing for half a year

how much do you practice per day? fantaisie impromptu at 7 months is crazy

was waiting for the part where you bought a new keyboard

talented AF

How much does your Piano cost ? Could you please share us the Piano (Like, Is it 61 keys or .. ?) that you're currently using ?

fantaisie impromptu is a good piece and very hard, you have talent😁

UH-- i guess it might be age thing but im 13 and have been playing piano since 7, and i just learned fantasie impromptu, you are making me jeaolus.

HE CUBES!

there's no way u can play clair de lune in 9 months bro i've played piano for 5 years and im learning clair de lune. ur cappin

Np man he is a beginner 😊 good job my boy I play piano too I play interstellar cornfield Chase❤❤❤❤❤

Were you more focused on playing those individual pieces or did you also focus on other things such as technique and sight reading?

you hold the motivation I wish I had right now. sigh

really good! just one small thing- when you play the faster parts, try to keep your fingers closer to the keys to avoid the tapping sound from the keyboard

Everyone else: Wow I can't believe you can play like that! That's amazing! Me: He can solve a 4*4 cube!?

I’ve been playing the piano for 2 years but didn’t see any progress at all, i cant read music sheets, just chords, help :((

You are extremly good buddy

Bro these songs remind me of your lie in April.

How long did you practice per day ? And also fantaisie impromptu in 7 month is crazy

How is the lighting thing called . The one you first got on the 12th month

I don’t want to slander you, but I would like to correct some people. Learning the piece fantasy impromptu may be hard, but not to an experienced player. It took him 7 months to learn the amount of fantasy impromptu that I learned in 3 days. I have only 6 years of experience. Whilst learning the piece may be fun and challenging, make sure to taper the difficulty of the pieces you learn because you can’t improve on the things you need to. Many pieces such as the impromptu are based on 2-3 timing which makes it seem fast, which it really isn’t. A goal you can make should be practicing the stuff a difficult piece is centered upon with other (easier) pieces to familiarize yourself with the content, such as the 2-3 timing in fantasy impromptu. However if you’re just playing to impress, then the way you’re doing it may be the way to go. It’s just that a lot of fundamentals are missing and you could greatly level up the speed you learn pieces by practicing those fundamentals.

if you are up on your fingertps instead of flatt hands, it will be easier

Insane progress, but I have to say the same that mostly all comments, you will progress a Lot faster if You learn to read sheets, and also try to domain a full piece, it will get you more technique and also you can say that you can really play piano, took me only 1 month to domain fur elise after 1 year and a half of learning full pieces and practicing sheet reading

3 monts and you can play well thats so amazing for me its been 1 year of practicing the piano but I cant really play so well but my mom want me to have a piano lesson so I studied to read notes first but I'm still strugling for now sightreading is so hard!!

You’re so much better than me and I have been playing for almost 2 years with a teacher 😂

I am definitely not jealous. I am definitely not

Just out of curiosity have you ever thought of trying to learn how to read sheet music ?

Is this realistic for the majority of self taught pianists, or is this learning at an accelerated pace?

Bro, I am also self-taught but I learned from bill hilton on youtube I watched his videos and learn step-by-step. Hopefully his channel helps you.

A very important thing i see here is that you start a piece really fast just to slow doen and loose the rythm. I suggest you start the piece slowly so that you can keep the slow rythm for the whole song. Yo uare doing amaizing and if you keep practicing you'll get really good results🎀💞

How much do u practice a day???

How is one guy better than me at piano in 1 year when I’ve been playing for 8.5, :,)))

you are capping

You do have a musical ear and i can notice that but learning without any sheet music from YT tutorials its tremendous. Not only you are limiting you possibilities by not learning properly, but you are also shooting for very Very hard piaces that take years to learn My advice is to.adjust your hand position and going for easier stuff Peace Edit:also practice hand movment and do easy technical movments to get better and never give up

Do you practice with a metronome? They’re super useful in evening out notes :)

Hi! Your progress are so good! May i know what you use for recording? I mean the microphone. Because I also want to record my piano digital, but it didn't sound so sharp if only use phone microphone

i quit playing piano bye guys, how are you real, omagaaahhhh

Where your buy led for piano touch plz ? And you play awesome 😊still learn and you will become really good

impressive

Lol chopin op 66 on 23 day. Grade 8 abrsm and 9 rcm. Sure 100%

how the hell did you learn etudes and fantasie impromptu in just 1 year? I need tips pls

The fact you've been doing this for at least a year shows dedication. Which is great and respectable. BUT... I know it's tempting to jump straight to the big pieces you love, either if you want to impress someone, or you just dream of playing them, but the harsh truth is - it is and always will be a time wasted and there's a possibility you'll get overwhelmed and it'll put you off playing piano entirely. Because learning any complex instrument does not work like this. If you dedicated another 2 years only to learning Fantaisie Impromptu, you'd still not be able to play it well even if you learned the whole sequence of notes. You can't go from 0 straight to La Campanella. You need to slow down, ideally start from the beginning, build technique, get comfortable at the keyboard. In my opinion learning from synthesia or even worse copying people's hands on youtube is the worst way to learn. 1. It takes a crazy amount of time 2. You just become a button pushing robot, not knowing why you push the buttons you push. Even though it brings you joy and you enjoy this process.. There are two ways to approach the piano depending what music do you want to play. If you want to play classical music, you simply have to learn to read sheet music pretty well. It can't be cheated. It doesn't have to be a pain, because if you choose pieces appropriate for your level which you still find nice to listen to (there are soo many great compilations and lists on youtube for sort of late beginners), it'll be as enjoyable and you'll be getting more confident and at ease with the instrument, and you will be able to focus on technique and musicality. Instead of making the process a game of copying key presses, make it a game of recognizing music on a paper, it will be much more rewarding, you'll see. My general rule would be (apart from excercises etc) try to pick pieces that won't take you more than 1 to 3 weeks to finish learning to play somewhat comfortably. And maybe pick a sort of challenging piece just slightly above your level on which you can work on let's say for two or three months. The point is to actually finish the pieces and move on to the next one. But the most important thing is to recognize when something is just out of your reach and a waste of time. The second approach, which is more suitable for jazz and popular music in general is to focus on learning music theory, learn scales, chords, work on harmony. Then you don't really need to read sheet music that well, or at all. Anyways, hope you'll keep playing :)

I have three questions and would be grateful if you answered them! Did you have any musical experience in the past? What kind of skills and techniques did you practice and how long did you practice a day? Did you think Fantaisie-Impromptu was good choice despite being relatively new?
