I was recording this video as experiment where I had 4 different mics setup (this video uses the piano line-out). However, this first take was pretty much what I would have hoped for. There are still a few small things I would change based my teachers feedback that I've not practiced yet. But other than that I'm really happy with how this came out.

Beautifully played, Daniel! This was the piece that inspired me to learn piano.

Thank you. It's a really nice piece and I'm glad I can play now. Definitely one I'll try and keep in my fingers.

Hi Daniel & happy new year ! This is really A M A Z I N G progress considering you're working and running a family and walking your lovely dog ! :) I thus warmheartedly congratulate you for so much solid music progress since your video on your 1 year progress that shows how "bad" and slow the beginnings are ... it has encouraged me because it is so realistic and honest ! Thank you for the great effort and expense of filming and publishing all this so nicely with your Sonys !! You much deserved to treat yourself to the wonderful CA99 (top of the line E-piano). and I'm sure it motivates you to play. "It’s never too late to start learning" you stay.... well at 60 I'm a complete begginer the way you were 4 years ago. Like you I watched some videos on the matter and I'm realistic about the hard work and slow progress I will make... (I'm not like those talented exceptions or 'fakes') . My ears and brain would want to play Chopin, Bach, Elton John or a Jazz riff... but it ain't going to happen in the next year ! SO thanks for showing the way... Il'll try to do 30 min.'s a day... then I drift away as it's to frustrating to play so "bad" ! Looking forward to seeing other pieces and keep inviting your dog please... editing a new 4 year progress sumarry would be cool to see and show yourself the amazing progress made over all that time. For higher ambition stay patient... you're still young ! ;- ) Best wishes for 2024 ! Mike Inspiration from a pro for you : J.S. BACH : -------------------------------------------------------------- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mreXrceWvZzPmo0.html

The growth in your playing has been tremendous! Love seeing the progress! Great job on the pedal use and keeping the sound from being muddled. BTW, I think you'd have fun with Chopin's Prelude C Minor Op 28 N 20.

Thanks. I’ll have to give that a listen. For now though I am still generally working on the pieces my teacher sets me.

I just watched your rant video and now this. It's an impressive progress. I'm curious - do you do it all on your own, or do you have a piano teacher?

@DanielLearnsPiano 5 ай бұрын

Yes, I have a piano teacher. I don’t think I would have progressed half as much without. I would have probably quit through lack of direction.

@leelo4717 7 ай бұрын

I'm around your age and you're really inspiring me to buy a piano.

@DanielLearnsPiano 7 ай бұрын

If you like the idea of playing the piano, the best time to start is now. It’s never too late to start learning. But us older folk just need to be more realistic about how far we’ll get. But I think within a few more years I’ll be in a place where I can play some really decent pieces. But that’s not to put down the pieces I’ve been playing up until this point. It’s been an enjoyable journey up to this point and will only continue to get more enjoyable as this level of piece becomes easier and more advanced pieces are within my ability.

@leelo4717 7 ай бұрын

Absolutely! I am under no illusion that my brain learning and manual dexterity isn't what it used to be, but it's a skill I have always admired greatly, and I would take great enjoyment in playing even at a basic level. Thank you for the reply and advice. Greatly appreciated 👍

Nicely played Daniel. Treat yourself for achievement and go spend your £20 on yourself

@noisyrebel7743 7 ай бұрын

Nicely played, you have certainly come a long way with the piano. Your tone is controlled very well. Since it's this piece, I have an excuse to link this video about it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prh8daV7sb6RlIU.html It's densely packed with wisdom that you can carry with you through your entire journey with the piano.
