Numerous piano tutorials are available on KZfaq, but some can be overwhelming for beginners. Kaitlyn's teaching methodology is quite different, as she understands the needs of a true beginner. Her teaching style is relaxing, and she uses user-friendly methods that are easy to comprehend. Thank you Kaitlyn!

... this is very helpful & plainly explained... Information. Im floating about learning bits from this/that book/vid & songs. (i purchased rhythmic Training/work books by Robert Starer, after your recommendation vid). Tomorrow(later today) i'll be preparing major scales & chord charts, plus circle of 5ths(i kno these can b bought but i believe it aids learning process to make them myself) & gradually work my way through ur other vids. Thank you. nb. you asked for info: i'm a whizz at 'C Major' & 'D Major' chords ... I've obviously got a lot to learn .. but im enjoying it so much. :)

@heckinaustin5894 3 ай бұрын

I use the same fingering for every scale and it works quite well, I'm curious if you have heard about it or not but it seems much faster than however many unique fingerings you've in your video.

I’m learning the grand form of scales now. 2 up, 2 out, 2 in, 2 up, 2 down, 2 out, 2 in, 2 down. It’s a lot. But it’s within range if you start with 1 octave, then 2, then 3, then 4. Do some parallel and some contrary. It takes some brain work to do contrary. 12 major keys, 12 natural minor keys, 12 harmonic minor keys, 12 melodic minor keys. My least familiar are the melodic minors. But my biggest issue is building speed. Especially in contrary motion. You have to almost get one hand so that it can play on autopilot and pay close attention to the other. Some scales are better than others. B harmonic minor and F# harmonic minor are the toughest. The black keys help to act as landmarks. It’s when there is a near even mix of white and black keys that I find the hardest. But I enjoy the challenge.

Ahhhhh ... no fingering details for last 3 (Bb Major, Eb Major & Ab Major) scales...(Im just finishing compiling my tick chart for practicing the Scales) ... i can wait till my Scale & Appegio Book arrives - im in UK, the book you recommended is ordered coming from USA... but i think i'll still have plenty to practice from what u've already shown in your vid) ... Thank You for explaining these scales & best way to learn.

@lyndasoar4345 Hi Lynda, I think those are ABRSM grade 3 scales, in the UK. You may be able to find practice papers with the fingerings for them online. Hope your Alfred's scale book arrives soon.👍🏽

A time line of the progression necessary to become fluent would be very helpful. I don't think I came away with the understanding of just how much practice and time we're talking about. "How long should this take" is a legitimate question. I've been at it for years now and I'm pretty good at playing a given scale, but I dont' have it near the degree of fluency that I think is necessary to become a really good player. Can you illustrate this better? I picked piano back up in my late 40's after quitting in 11th grade (from 1st on and off to 11th grade I took lessons). I was never made to do scales regularly so I never developed the fluency and 2nd nature aspect. This takes t i m e.... but just how does one go about self regulating the progress without doing damage?

I returned to the piano. I realized I cannot spend all day every day talking about and writing about pot and meth, so I decided to return to the piano after a 38 year hiatus. (I’m a defense attorney so I spend all day talking and writing about drugs and all sorts of things that you don’t want to know about. I need a diversion 😂). Update to follow in several months….Your videos are clear and concise, and very engaging. Maybe I’ll try some online classes😊

This video teaches you how to tackle all of the scales and what order to take them in. It's purpose was not to go through every single fingering for all scales. This would be too long for KZfaq. I did provide a book that will provide you all of the correct fingerings.
