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

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 👍

"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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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!!!

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

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

thats the key to a successful pianist

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

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

Brilliant Warren. Just superb.

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!!!!

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!

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 ❤️

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.

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

Thanks Warren .you are a very good teacher

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

The best advice I've ever received🎉

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

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

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!

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 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.

Best teacher on KZfaq.

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

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.

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

Thanks warren i needed to hear this.

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

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.

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.

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

Dear Warren, thank you very much for this video. It is a hard way that you describe but everything makes absolutely sense. I would like to say thank you for another thing: You talked about consistency and discipline in this tutorial. I think it needs a lot of both to make these kind of videos every week. The fantastic thing is: You are doing this kind of videos for a couple of years and you alway kept the quality of the videos on a very high level. So: Thank you very very much for that and for YOUR consistency and discipline :-) Kind regards from germany Christoph

Thank you Sir, for this vital information.

Well done Warren

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

Thanks Warren !

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

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

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

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

You are a life saver

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

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

Awesome information, ty much

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

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.

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

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..

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

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!

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!

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

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

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 video , thank you.

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

wow i've been playing drums in church since my early age and now iwant to move to the piano for composition but i've been learning a lot from people but still don't know what am doing on the piano, but this video Warren, makes me understand now, am starting everything new all over again...Am challenging myself for a year...God help me... Thanks warren and God richly bless you and your love ones..

Great Warren love this

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 🙏

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.

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

Thanks Mr. Warren

This is really good information.. a few minutes ago I was wondering what can I do to play better cause right now am bored with my playing... this really helped, it will take time for me but I know I can get there.. Thank you brother, God bless you.

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

It's kind of weird that my prayer was answered about how to play gospel music and what steps I need to take. I go on KZfaq and there you are pointing out the steps that I need to take and I found out it's not going to happen fast but if I keep my hand to the plow I believe I'm going to see the promise that God has for me. I already have the beginner's course. Four chords and fingerings and progressions and technique. When I'm done with that you can trust me on this one I'm going to be ordering more as long as I can stay connected with you in this walk of Faith by playing the piano for God's glory. Many blessings in Jesus name.

God bless you sir, I started on the wrong foot, I am self taught. This is for me

Thanks alot for such a wonderful lesson ..u are the reason i sound so good these days....I'm curious about the fingering for the blues scales tho

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

I’m blessed with the abilities to play anything I hear and because of you I’m able to add theory to concept🇯🇲

big ups my guy, I'm so far behind and have so far to go, I'm self taught and really don't know how to practice. I just downloaded you practice tips for beginners hopefully this will help me move forward. Its very embarrassing to be sitting at a keyboard at a church and cant play the song that they are singing... Thanks again man for all you do.

Warren! You're are amazing! This is is quality stuff! I appreciate you man. God bless you amazingly in the name of Jesus!

Thank you sir...always following from KENYA. You are great in the world of music and I hope one day we wanna meet .

Great lesson, Warren. For me, though, it would be even better without the distraction of the intrusive background music - but this might not be the general consensus of your wider audience. Great to see a "Yardie" leading the way - again.

Excellent!

Thanks a lot!!! 🌼

Thank you very much for this

I feel like technique is the thing that really holds me back the most. Especially since I don't have a lot of time nowadays.

very educative one from Warren, thanks

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

Thank You so much Warren! Great Tutorial!

Great video Warren! I've been playing and making music for years. I always wanted to get better at writing better music and always felt like something is blocking me for advancing. I've watched hundreds of tutorials but always ended up getting confused or frustrated. your video felt different, and I could understand the things you're saying very clearly, I actually watched it while taking notes on a notebook after not touching a pencil in years! now I feel like I know better what path I have to take in order to achieve my goals of becoming a better musician. also I couldn't find the beginner template you mentioned at 13:04 so if anyone could let me know how to get it it'll be great! Thank you so much for this video, keep up the good work and God bless!

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.
