I’ve recently taken an interest in learning piano, and I’m eager to improve my skills. After a bit of digging, I realize there’s a ton of content out there on YouTube, but I’m having trouble narrowing it down to the best lessons available.
What I’m Looking For:
Quality: I want lessons that are well-structured and easy to follow.
Beginners to Intermediate: Ideally, the lessons should cater to someone who is just starting out but also has some intermediate materials that can challenge me as I progress.
Visual and Auditory Learning: Since I’m a visual learner, I’m particularly interested in channels that use clear demonstrations and explanations.
Channels I’ve Checked Out:
I’ve tried a few channels that popped up in my search, but I’m curious if anyone here has personal favorites or recommendations. Channels like:
Piano Video Lessons
Pianote
Gains In Piano
While they have some good content, they don’t seem to have everything I need.
What Would Help:
Any specific lesson series that focus on particular skills (like scales, chords, or sight-reading)?
Recommendations for instructors who break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand segments.
I’d love to hear any suggestions or advice! What are the best piano lessons you’ve found on YouTube? Any hidden gems that might not show up in the usual searches? Getting some guidance would really help in my learning journey. Thanks in advance for your help!
I really love the YouTube channel ‘Piano Video Lessons’! They offer structured lessons that gradually increase in difficulty, making them perfect for beginners. Plus, the instructor’s style is very engaging.
Have you checked out ‘Piano with Jonny’? His lessons are super fun and also cover a range of styles from classical to jazz. Perfect for expanding skills!
I prefer ‘PianoKeyz’ for learning pop songs. They break down popular music into manageable parts, which keeps things interesting. Great for intermediate players wanting to play along with the charts!
That’s a solid choice! I think ‘Piano Lessons on the Web’ is also worth checking out. They have a more traditional approach, which is great for those wanting a strong foundation.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about ‘Simply Piano’. Some love the interactive app help, while others think the YouTube lessons can be lacking in depth. Anyone have personal experience?
For a bit of humor while learning, I like ‘Josh Wright Piano’. His jokes make the lessons enjoyable, and he’s quite knowledgeable! Perfect for staying engaged during practice.
Haha, love the recommendation! But, have you considered ‘Betty’s Music World’? She’s super calm and patient, great for those needing a supportive teaching style.
I’d recommend checking out ‘Toby’s Teaching Piano’. He has a lot of videos that cater specifically to different skill levels, which is really helpful as you progress.
That’s such a good find! I also like ‘Lypur’ for diverse lessons. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed, but he has great tips to simplify challenging pieces.
I’ve found that having a consistent practice routine really helps to reinforce what you learn in online piano lessons. Setting specific times for practice can make a big difference!
Absolutely! I like to set mini-goals during my practice. It helps keep me focused and motivated. Plus, visual aids like charts or diagrams can enhance understanding!
Have you considered incorporating ear training into your routine? I’ve read that it’s vital for developing the ability to play by ear and it really complements online lessons!
Yes! Ear training has helped me identify chords better. I listen to a lot of songs and try to figure them out on the piano, and it’s such a rewarding experience.
I agree with you both! Consistent practice is key, but I’ve found that mixing up techniques keeps things interesting. Sometimes I use apps for ear training, and it’s been quite effective!
Using apps is a great idea! I guess it’s all about finding what works best for you. Some people might prefer traditional methods, and others like a mix of both.
I wonder if anyone else feels overwhelmed by all the resources available on YouTube? There are so many channels that it’s hard to know where to start. Do you guys have any specific channel recommendations?
