1 Year self taught Piano progress

Published 2024-06-26
i created a Discord server for anyone who has questions or advices to share. learning with others, and exchanging ideas with people who know more than i do might motivate to study music theory and sheet music and could be enriching

i forgot to mention that I bought a much better piano starting from the second month because the number of keys was very limited on the old one and there are a few audio glitches at several points in the video

  • Bro, please play a full piece and trying to get 0 miss. Just imagine piano as rythem games that you need to full combo to get better score, not just trying to pass hard level and get nothing!
  • I highly belive u were born to do this. I mean u play fantasie impromptu op.66 with only 6 months of experience... wow man. Keep going!
  • @Xolten_Official
    this is such a glow up with the improving piano and everything
  • Wow, Fantaisie impromptu on only month 7 is crazy, hope you never stop playing, you are amazing!
  • @maximusrl2095
    This is the most believable progression I’ve ever seen 😂 At this point bro is gonna be the next Lang Lang in a year

    Learning music sheets is very easy and would help you learn whateevr u want without uaving to remember it all. A suggestion is to just look at read the wikipedia page "list of musical symbols" i learnt it from thete and since i can just read and learn whatever i want, well not everytjikg ofc
  • I was exposed to musical instruments since 2nd grade, im a lot familiar with the musical field. I’ve been playing jazz drums for years and I am talented in that particular subject, I’ve also tried to learn the guitar last year and I have been playing it religiously until now, would consider myself an expert at it as well 😅. But despite my effort on trying to learn the piano, I never make progress as fast as for other instruments. That went to show how infatuated I am with your talent and dedication, you are gifted and need to cherish that, keep going ❤. It was also fun to share my musical experience with other peers!
  • I tried learning fantaisie and Clair but lost interest, but watching you def gave me the courage and motivation to continue the songs and NEVER GIVE UP🗣️🗣️ I’m going to look back on this when I lack motivation and remember if you can do it so can I🙏
  • I love watching your progress, you play beautifully. I as well am learning paino.
  • @NotesbyTom
    Awesome progress!! I just started so seeing this is great inspiration for me 🙏🏼
  • @Cutedoggo2
    Trust me I can sight read and while it takes time to get good at reading the pieces you are playing( fairly high level) it is sooo worth it you are able to learn songs 10x faster. Essential to mastering an instrument
  • Incredible progress! As many others have said learning to play Fantaisie Impromptu in just 6 - 7 months with no prior experience or musical background is really impressive! Clearly you have a lot of potential. Keep practicing hard and never give up!
  • @user-gp1op2xy9g
    Bro, i really recommend you to star reading sheet music. You are progressing really fast and at one point you’re gonna be stuck trying to learn one piece that doesn’t take that much time if you know how to read sheet music, Also try not to play hard pieces at full speed at first try to play them at the same speed you’ll gain the speed after you practice it. You are playing really good this are just recommendations keep playing!

    I noticed in the beginning that you said you learned using synthesia videos. They’re good at first, but they make it more difficult in the long run to progress. This is because as you move to more difficult pieces you need to pause the video all the time because the music and hand placements are all over the place. With the sheet music all you need for any part of the piece is right there. I’m mostly self taught as well as well; I had a teacher through my school (I go to a performance arts high school) who largely encouraged exploring different genres of piano music to find one you love. He also said the most important thing was to learn to read sheet music it’s probably one of the most important things for progression. Start as soon as you can, every second benefits :)
  • A lot of these pieces i tried learning while i started too and ended up coming back later to fix them. I think its great because it forces technique on you but you'll be so focused on hitting the notes you miss out on the bigger picture. Its absolutely fantastic how far you got in a year but always have something simpler on the side you are learning that you can perfect. Also a good tip is to practice without petal it makes it so easy to spot mistakes.
