Learning to play piano

Post by zosomagik » Wed Sep 04, 2013 2:18 am

Anybody have any good piano videos? i'm not just starting out, i'm pretty knowledgeable with music theory. I can play major, minor, and 7th chords and some inversions. But i'm definitely not a pro by any stretch of the mind, but i would like to get closer to that point! So any references would be appreciated.

I'd work on your finger work and general knowing where to place your hands. Rhythm and then being ambidextrous.

Knowing where the notes are and what to play to get the chord is completely different from being able to actually play piano.

To actually play piano you just have to set up exercises for yourself. A few chord progressions are good to start with. First slow, then start speeding up. Once you have those down then you should try and play some harmony on top as freestyle within that key.

Following this unless the simple becomes second nature and then make more complicated exercises for yourself.

How does playing chord presets on a monome help you learn to play piano? :?
