This is important!! The process is the process! Great lesson 🔥

Been struggling for years as I need an upgrade in my piano skills for church music. This is what I was looking for. Thanks man! God bless you more.

"If you practice playing fast, anxiously and with many mistakes, that becomes part of your playing [your performances will be filled with mistakes and anxiety]" , I love that thanks God bless.

Mr. Warren thank you much, you have built me in a 20 to 30min of me watching and listening very carefully of this video it gives me all I needed thanks much I'm your big man here in dubai 👍

I have been going back and forth doing different things at different levels not being specific. But now I can cruise into another level with an understanding. Thanks

Oops! Not ASKING the right questions. Makes total sense. That’s telling it straight and has helped me even more.

This video is rated super for me. Its just the 1 million dollar guide to be anything you would like to be as a pianist. Great Job Boss!!!

You’re absolutely right about being self-taught. I learned about 99.7% of what I know on my own, but in 20 years of playing, I see some fundamental things that I missed as a result of not getting formal/informal training. As I’ve said in previous comments, your videos have helped me in the last year improve significantly. Thanks again for everything!

thats the key to a successful pianist

I truly appreciate you. I use to not like you, thought you were moving to fast. I finally followed your technique now I consider myself an intermediate piano played, yes I was trying to fast to be a better player without starting from the ground up. I took a little knowledge and convinced myself that I was ready. So I decided to listen to someone (you) doing what I want to do and I do feel and see the change as a confident and more relaxed piano player. Thank you, I highly do appreciate you. Much luv

Anytime I watch your new LESSON, I am getting to like your teaching better, you are the best piano teacher on KZfaq, Warren.

Thank you Warren, I find myself watching your videos every chance I get. I believe in what you say.

I've been playing for 6 years, and I have mostly been self-taught. As you can see by my KZfaq channel, I can play somewhat complicated songs, but as you said, I think some things I missed along the way have kept me from going further. Thanks for making this!

I so appreciate your truth. Its my issue with song-specific tutorials. Students "learn" a single song and have no idea the theory behind it, so they can't play anything else. I push my student's forward to a new song every lesson and tell them, once they memorize a song, they're not learning to play, they're learning to memorize, which at some point can lead to un-learning, a huge issue with strictly classical students. Anyhow. Glad someone is saying it!

You are the best teacher out there. Thanks again Warren.

Hey Warren everything your saying is true foundation is key, I couldn’t have moved forward if I wasn’t able to play in all 12 keys fluently and I had to dedicate a whole year to it through your videos and hours of practice , also now with this video I can comfortably rank myself above intermediate almost advanced player solely because of your motivating and informative videos 🇯🇲👍Keep up the good work

Thanks Warren for saying it all. Such a great lesson.

Brilliant Warren. Just superb.

Thank you! Now I have a clear cut way of structuring my practices. Having all of this knowledge wasn’t getting anywhere because of poor planning. Loved this video.

Wow..this is what I needed to hear, the doubt is cleared now that I am a certified beginner. warren you are the best online teacher I have seen so far, God bless you sir.

Great lesson Warren. Thanks for allowing the LORD to use you in helping others....

Hi Warren. This was the best lesson ever. For the first time I actually know what I need to work on. Appreciate your time and dedication to helping musicians like me improve. Thanks and God bless.

Thanks Warren !

Thanks Warren. You are great teacher. Very useful lessons.

Thank you so much for this! I can't wait to share my success story with you.

WOW, WOW, WOW ! Dear Warren, I thank you for this amazing video ! I'm a beginner gospel pianist coming from France and I was asking God how I could improve my gospel piano playing. I was really frustrated. But by God grace you made this video ! She's the answer to my prayer 😭 I thank God ! May the Lord bless you and your family 7× more ! I pray for one day when I'll be an advanced gospel pianist player meeting you 🙏 Following you from France ! Enoch ❤️

Well done Warren

After 8 months it's was My first time to watch this video but now i can play all 12 key this video Helped me a lot now I build my beginner foundation proper thank you a lot mr Warren

Hey. Warren. I Did not practice for a week. Seriously. Keyboard down. I am a beginner who practices 12 key major, minor, blues scale, and inversions, but music is an endless learning journey. I feel I will always be practicing these scales. Thank you for the video.

Great Warren love this

You're the best 👍 Thanks a lot for the this lesson

This is the perfect video for me right now! Thanks so much Warren!!

Hey warren, what's up, as usual great stuff. Now I can really access myself and move forward, Bwoy I can't say it enough u are a great teacher, keep doing what u doing sir and let no one deters u. Bless up!!!!

The best advice I've ever received🎉

Great advice sir......... I do believe this is the process to learn piano... Very very grateful to you

Thank you very much for this

This is helpful thank you Mr

Thanks warren i needed to hear this.

I'm currently learning to play the bass but for some reason I cant stay off your page. Your content is so amazing bro! love!

Very informative. I credit you as one of the better Piano Tutor on KZfaq. Keep it up man...Good Job!

Hey warren I'm an intermediate. Thanks for this lesson. It helped me a lot. I owe you

Wow...,The Foundation is essential. You are extraordinary with teaching. I know a musician that plays in one key.....15 years now. The person is so comfortable transposing until it's ridiculous. Thank You so Much Warren.

Excellent!

Wow. This is a blessing. Thank you for sharing this. It demystifies the process. God bless you abundantly

Great one man

Thank you Warren, seems was missing this! God bless you

Great stuff Warren! Great stuff!

Your right Warren ✅ am self taught and I figured it out that i have to go back to simple finger exercises and how to play my major and minor scales with the proper fingering, I can use intermediate passing chords but at the same time I cant run a major scale fluently and to me that makes no sense to me

This is what I need at the moment.. Never found someone to tell me this fact and I've struggled for years doing my own stuffs and being greatly confused .... 🤔🤔🙏Thanks man

Wow!! Prof. Warren has made my day again You are an excellent teacher and i will always follow you on all social media. Thanks so much sir.

This is exactly what I need right now. Thank You so much!

And what you said about the skill level being at different places is definitely true. That’s the way I feel.

Great work bro🎉

The only video i watched without skip on youtube

Theres no other piano teacher like you. thank you, love you bro! ... and yea those ppl need to be asking the right questions aha

This is what I needed Mr Warren thanks A lot may God bless you more

What's up Warren!!! This video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL. I've been playing for 25 years. Jumping between 5 instruments. Keyboard is pretty much the main one. Since that's what most churches want. I know where I'm at now (Intermediate) thanks a million!!!

Thank You so much Warren! Great Tutorial!

Great job

Thanks a lot!!! 🌼

Great content.

Thank you so much! Good stuff!

Man you're such a great person. Thanks for sharing this important concepts!!

I really love this guideline,now I know I'm an intermediate and I know how to move to the next level in my playing. Even though I'm just seeing it when it was released 2 years ago, Warren I think you will agree with me that this should have been your first video or if not, you should always make reference to this video in all your upcoming tutorials

What a great lesson. I'm still building my foundation, so the first 15 minutes were gold. I have a major change in my situation so I can devote more resources to piano. And you're course is very tempting.

You are a life saver

Success is just ahead-thank you Warren for so many great practice tips! Can’t wait to get started! NAClark/Philadelphia

My mentor i bless you and all your family. always the best.

Thank you so much

very educative one from Warren, thanks

Thanks Warren I like your stile i need lots of help bro

Thanks for your advice! Now, I know I want to review all of those arpeggios, scales, chords and progressions in every key. I have them in my head, but I need to practice them. Our hearts and minds should become one with the music we play. What you said about speed is so important. What's the point of learning something fast if we can't understand it and feel every note? Once something becomes part of our heart and soul, we become the music. I remember a piano teacher telling me once that I was memorizing mistakes, so your pointing that out reminded me of that advice. No one can be advanced without having a rock-solid foundation. I understand a lot of the theory and can play a lot of pieces, but I still need to work on that foundation and also work some things out in my head. Practicing for fluency of expression is key. I agree with you that the process is more important than the destination.

Hi Warren! I'm new in this channel!! I feel in the right place to develop good skills on the keyboard!! This video is the best of all those I have been struggling to watch in different channels inorder to know how, when and why I have to do a particular exercise so as to move in the right direction during my keyboard learning. I thought I was at the intermediate level 😂 , but just after watching this, I realized I was far at the beginner's level!! Thanks very much and may God bless you, for you to bless us with more videos!! You are a good teacher 🙏

Woow lemme start i believe i can. This is the best video please do this more often.... Teach us it helps us beginners 😊

This is really helpful thank you! I have been playing piano for a long time but without a proper break down of the progression of skills have been mystified as to how to advance to a high level.

Wow, Thank you so much for this, You are so right, It all makes sense.

WaaW! I really absolutely needed this! cause I basically learn from internet i dont have a piano teacher, so I was kind of messing up learning stuff here and there, but now I have a clear roadmap. I'm gonna dive into this. THANKS! GOD BLESS!

Excellent

Gold

superb!

Dear Brother, Thank you for doing this, I'm sure you're helping so many souls serve God to their best. Lots of love to you from India. God bless you Abundantly..

Thank you Brother Warren for again sharing your vast knowledge with us so that we can be blessings to our local churches. I took your advice and started over with your Beginners Practice Template.

thank you😊…I’m at it everyday, this video was much needed to keep me on track with what I should be learning …

Nice lessons Mr. Warren. Wao!! Just got a good structure of how to practice and rated myself where I am presently in piano playing. I can say I am in the late beginner's stage. Ha ha! Thank a lot

I wish I knew this 20ys ago. I'm a self taught and picked up really bad habits: The transpose button. I could play prety much anything but with one key adjusted with the transpose button., i only realised that this was a serious limitation when the grand piano was what I needed to play. For a song I knew but it was in a key I'm not familiar with. I was so frustrated how difficult it was . . . But recently [3years ago, I started forcing my self to learn how to play with all keys.] Today,. I can say., I can see the improvement, im still not fully fluent with some few keys, especially F and G, i confuse these alot, but with your vedios, .. . I've got a hang of it., thank you for the good work you doing ,its really appreciated

Wow! Fantastic lesson, thank you!

Hellow sir. Am truely learning. Thank you very much for taking time to teach. But i still want to learn a lot.

great great great material. thank you so much fam!! gotta get that template right away!
