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

"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.

thats the key to a successful pianist

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.

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 👍

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

Brilliant Warren. Just superb.

Best teacher on KZfaq.

This is the best tutorial ever

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

The best advice I've ever received🎉

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

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!

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

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!!!

The only video i watched without skip on youtube

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

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

Gold

i've been follow you so long and i think you deserve to be one of best teacher in this categories hope god provide you soon be bless

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.

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!

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

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.

The best video you be made---in my opinion. We need this.

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!

Thanks Warren .you are a very good teacher

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

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

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!!!!

Very very helpful for me. I am self-learning, mainly learning from you since 2017. It seems now I am 60% intermediate.

Just saw this now, I'm a beginner player. This is literally Gold for me, thank, you sir.

Thanks Warren !

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

Awesome information, ty much

Thanks Mr. Warren

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.

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

Well done Warren

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Excellent video , thank you.

Thank you Sir, for this vital information.

so glad I found your channel. You're a great teacher.

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 🙏

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

You are a life saver

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

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

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

Thank you very much for this

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

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

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

Thank you so much! Good stuff!

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

Thanks warren i needed to hear this.

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.

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

Thank You so much Warren! Great Tutorial!

Excellent!

Great Warren love this

Thanks a lot!!! 🌼

To encourage all the beginners out here, when you learn your major scales you also learn the minor scales! So you get 24 scales in your arsenal by learning 12! try it!

Great stuff Warren! Great stuff!

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!

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

Thank you so much

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.

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

This is helpful thank you Mr

ready to start over...

Thank 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 ❤️

Great one man

Great job

Broo...the. Best. Video. Out. Here! Keep it up it seems im in beginner in some areas advanced in others and intermidiate in alot lol thank you God bless you man

very educative one from Warren, thanks

Excellent

Following your channel has helped me improve alot warren. This is a great video. Though i can not get the link to intermediate practice template. You really explain issues with the learner in your mind. Slowly and sensitively.

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!!!

superb!

Appreciated man

Wow i get it ! Thank you very much sir from south Sudan , you are really a great teacher always stay blessed

Great content.

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

Thank you sir.sometimes me back then i only want to go where sir warren is dropping those beautiful progressions licks and lines and observe, and not give time for theoritical explanation .these year I want to focus more on the theoritical aspect and improve practically.thanks sir
