So Simple, Even a Toddler Could Play the Maple Leaf Rag 👶🍁🎹

Maple Leaf Rag is an easy-to-learn song for piano beginners. Simply locate the black key, then start bopping along with both hands. Once you get that, add some chords with your other hand. With practice, you'll be playing Maple Leaf Rag in no time!
If you have not taken my course “Learn Piano in 5 Days” yet, that would be a good starting place for you: bit.ly/3XsXtQt

🎹🍁 READ THIS FIRST!!! 🍁🎹 Hey there, welcome to my piano tutorial. Hope you find the answers to your questions here: ❓ "I have no clue how to play piano. Where do I start?" Don't panic. Where there's a will, there's a way. The fact that you're reading a FAQ in the comment section of a KZfaq short tells me you're willful. So, I want to let you know about my "Learn Piano in 5 Days" course, which you can get here: bit.ly/3HvS8Cz. ❓ “Why does the tutorial have 3 hands? I don't understand.” This isn't a conventional piano tutorial. Just watch it and let yourself have an experience. Along the way, you’ll learn something. ❓️ "No, this is FAKE! There's NO WAY you have 3 hands." Contrary to popular belief, I don't have 3 hands. I'm a normal human like most of you. Unlike most of you, however, I've read thousands of jokes in the past couple months about how I have 3 hands (from my Rush E video). I'm sorry to report that none of those jokes have been even slightly witty. ❓️ "Can you tell me the names of the notes?" Don't worry about the names of the notes. I quit piano lessons after a month when I was 9 because it was all flashcards and trying to learn note names. That stuff just doesn't work. Play music, learn songs, get fluent at the keys first. Then, the note names will come automatically. ❓️ “Do you really have a master’s degree in piano?” Yes. ❓️ "What piano/keyboard is this?" This is a Yamaha YDP-223 digital piano. It's old but they make newer models that are similar. I paid around $1500 for it in 2006. ❓️ "Do you mind if I troll you?" Yes, in fact, I do mind. But thanks for asking first. I appreciate the effort. ❓️ "Why do you act like a North Korean dictator in your comment section?" Because when I want to get stuff done, I only learn from the best. ❓️ “Let's say I want to learn this for real. What do I do if I don’t have 3 hands?” The way to learn this is to build it up, step-by-step, in this order: 1. The low part. 2. The high part. 3. The middle part. You’re going to play steps 1 and 3 with your left hand and step 2 with your right hand. But they MUST be done in this order. DM me on Instagram and I’ll get you started (@no.michael.here). ❓️ “What's the blue lobster all about?” There's no blue lobster in this video. You're thinking of one of my other videos.

If you were my student, you wouldn't be allowed to talk about "easy" or "hard". Those words only make it harder. Instead we would be talking about specific exercises that you need to be doing. That's how you get power
