This is an important video for play by ear students because foundation seems to be more obvious for sight-readers. You can get Alfreds, Bastien books, etc. But you can be left in no man's land playing by ear if you're going the self-taught route without a plan.

The Best professor is Back ! His name is warren Mc Pherson Thank you professor for everything

I sit at the keyboard and get blank about what to do and yet I do know I have alot to do.... THIS today Mr Warren has given me the correct state of mind... Hence forth, I don't have ANY reason not to be better... Thank you so much Mr Warren. Love from Nigeria... 🇳🇬

Warren is the real deal. I am not a gospel player but have been watching and listening to Warren

So glad to see how well your channel has been doing lately. This is easily one of the most underrated and high-quality piano channels on KZfaq; not only is it filling a useful niche but the teaching style and presentation is top-notch.

Now I only follow your channel because I have found the more I practice the more important it is to be careful who I listen too. I even listen to the ads over your lesson. Great lesson.

Positivity! Thank you, Maestro.

I appreciate all that you do for us brother Warren be blessed!💪

Thank you! so glad to see details on how to practice! You're wonderful!!!

I spend most of my time in the repertoire category. The category i need to work on urgently is technique building. There are a lot of licks runs and lines i want to play but i find it difficult because of my technique building level. Thanks boss for another big encouragement

Excellent presentation. Clear and concise. Much appreciated.

You're a good teacher and good communicator. Great video.

Thank you my brother. This is good staff. I will apply this. God bless you man!

Very Informative. I am glad I took your course.

Hey warren,thanks so much for being that much helpful.

Just discovered your channel! Wow, I love the clear way you explain these valuable tips. You've convinced me to focus on these 5 categories. Thank you!

This is beautiful and so helpful. Thanks Warren for sharing, God bless you for the work you're doing

Thank you very much my friend.

Very helpful. I needed this. Thanks much Warren

Thank you for this! I've been struggling on what I need to practice. Thankful for your videos! God bless!

Thanks Warren Your Always Great...GOD Blessing You

Thank You Warren

Thank you so much Warren. Super amazing breakdown + I've been following your pages(FB, KZfaq,et al) for a while and I must say it's worth it.♥️💯

Really, really helpful. I found this real concise, and just simple. thank you so much Warren

Excellent Tutorial on the methodology i definitely need to use. Thanks so much.

I really love this video!!! You said alot when you mentioned about searching for videos to learn from. I just stumbled on to yours and in this shirt amount of time I've learned a great deal. I'm trying to get what's in my head to come out of my hands and hopefully you can guide me to that point. Not have a music teacher to guide me is a struggle. So I'm force to learn on my own and I am very green/beginner. Trying to step up to help my church out in a sudden short fall. And I'm starting from square 1!!! Thank you sir for your help!

Thank you so much Warren, finally I understand how to determine the voicing. Honestly you have taken me to a higher level in my piano learning. May God bless you.

I really find this lesson helpful. I've been stuck in my piano playing and these tips will help fire me up. Tnx Warren

Bravo sir ... So brilliant idea

Thanks warren for the great tutorial for this week. This concepts will take lifetime because there are so many variations to the 5 categories you mentioned. I thank you for pointing out this tips to really give us the structure to practice.

Very useful. Thanks!

Very important piece of advice Warren. This sòrt of gives direction to anyone aspiring to play the instrument but learning on their own. As you mention in this video, there's so much offered in the internet but all of it count for nothing if there's no proper structure being followed. Thanks again for the unselfish sharing of knowledge. God bless you.

Thanks for this lesson, Warren. I’ve been struggling because I had no plan or structure. You have given me a learning plan. I will ensure that I practice the 5 areas every week. 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks so much I am one of those who have scarcely make a significant improvement on the piano due to this same difficulty of not knowing the what and how to go about it. You have just explain everything. I which looking forward to learning through this path if I will get your tutorials on how to go about each of the five steps. Thanks once again

We all here know who the real KZfaq MVP is. Thank You Maestro! Greetings from Spain.

BEST TEACHER EVER

Great info Warren! Thanks for sharing. I'm truly enjoying learning the theory, progressions, repertoire and technique (scales) but haven't ventured into Ear Training as yet. I'm loving the structure of your courses and really learning a lot. As a beginner, I am amazed at all that I have learnt in less than 2 months. Thanks Warren! Oh! I especially look forward to the live coaching sessions... That's quite inspiring!

Thanks for reminding me of this, Warren.

Thanks I am looking for something like this. Been stagnant for this few days

Good teacher

Beautiful lesson; I love this. Thanks for your lesson. i just want to play music

Yh u r rught i have been ignoring this things, Thanks warren

Friends...Warren is the truth! I took on your scales tutorial last month, and the results have been promising! Watching my fingers slowing recognizing the keys before my mind catches is really encouraging. God bless you with more wisdom and skillful expression!

You are so right , as soon as you started saying what is wrong. Thats me lol

Thank you very much for you are really a blessing to the body of Christ and to the world as well . Keep it up.

Excellent tips bro... I've practiced this way and seeing tangible improvement in my piano playing and people ask me if I went to music school and I realize that what you taught was the real thing. Thanks bro

Waiting so long but its worth

I always practice chord progression and learn how to play music, but I struggle a lot with theory I can't explain what I am doing, I only watch video tutorials on KZfaq. Thanks for this God bless 😇

Thanks God almighty for your life Warren. God bless you for what you are doing. You might not measure the impact you are making but you are making A LOT.

Wow true

Wowww lit!!!

I've been mainly focusing on technique for the past few weeks...I should change that now 🍃

Bro. Warren, some time ago ( I think it was last year) you did a similar video on how to improve a person's playing ( become a more skillful piano player). After watching this video I finally got clarity on how to practice. I confess I have been a little frustrated with not making the progress I want to make. I have your templates and I know now how to workout my practice. Thanks Bro. Warren. You're a good teacher. Blessings Cynthia🎹❤🎶😀

10:38 made my day 😂😂 Thanks for these vids man it really helped me alot

Yh, he's right. I have been ignoring this.

Your facial expression at 10:40 had me cracking up 😂!

I love this video Warren thank u blessings ... Can u please make a video play list that we can use to guide us along the journey .... I really wanna move n improve as a beginner but I don't know most of the time how and what to do ...

Hi Warren? Im so much impressed with whatever you're teaching brother. I have a problem with the technical part , but with this wonderful lessons, I will grow better. Please help me to understand and grow to your level brother, thanks 👍👍

I have been full.face in love with the piano for 10 years now , but in the same time everytime I think of it , I almost want to cry , feeling I do not understand music no matter how much I try , how many scales I work on how many videos I watch . I do not know If I'll ever make it , but you have brought alot of joy to my life Warren . I'm happy people can enjoy and share music the way that you do . Bless you man

Wow, I finally found the secret. Thanks Warren.

I am very advanced in theoretical knowledge and progressions...but I ve been ignoring technic and repertoire... I ve been playing since 14 years ago, but I am not progressing the way I want it...I believe it s gonna be a new season for me...thank you warren

Good

It was helpful. Unfortunately, I dont have my personal keyboard to practice. We have been under lockdown since March 22nd and I haven't played keyboard since then. It's not easy. When they ease lockdown here in Nigeria,Ogun state. I will apply it

I have wach all your videos bro they very awesome

👌

Hey big boss Warren i'm one of your fans however i need to learn about runs if i can some exercises from you about that

Help with different scales

What I struggle with the most is on theory, please help me how can study a song especially on learning what chords to use?

and also brokers chords

Thanks for a path out of the musical forest lol!

Hi Warren could you expand a little on movable solfage vs intervals recognition? How do they relate to each other?

Just go to 3:17 if you wanna jump to the main top of the video. I'm too damn impatient to sit through fluff and others with adhd like me might feel the same. hopefully this helps others like me.

Warren can you please make a video on diminished chromatic passing

Hey Warren, when you said theory. Where and how do I go about start learning that? Do you have a tutorial for theory?

Which book helps on music theory

Right now iam struggling with air traning

Warren, I was playing a lot on Instrumentals like, Misty, You Are So Beautiful, Over The Rainbow, Tenderly. But with a personal reason I have not played for 6 months. I'm quite a bit older than you, and I've just today 4/24/201 started to set downing play. Would you have any advice for me, as I fell a little down or maybe fear that How long I'm going to have to work to get it back again. Thanks Warren.

About Repertoire, Warren, please recommend some songs that I as a beginner can learn to at least step up my playing... And if there are some PDFs about theory which you know, please recommend. I love your courses, unfortunately, I only watch most of your KZfaq videos. Help me improve Warren, thanks.

Hi Warren I couldn't get the link...i really need dis nd am sure av not bn doing any of dis
