Really good video and I laughed during the first sketch. That said, I'd respectfully disagree on your first point (Obviously the sketch is exaggerated, no teacher just puts a book and says "this is C" before he even feels the keys) . I'm not saying your methods or the likes of 'Suzuki' are wrong as every teacher does things differently, but for me teaching a kid how to read music - either through a score or just presenting chords on a paper, simply works better due to the *multimedia effect* - it is empirically proven that people learn better when they see / hear / touch the keys and connect in their brain how the visuals, and sound and the touch align (unlike the antiquated notion that's called 'Learning Styles' which unfortunately I was injected with in Uni ad nauseam). The other purpose of sheet music for a learner is to reduce congnitive overload. I would agree that for the very young, sheet music is tiresome and should not be used for the entire lesson. I like to spice up lessons with fun piano games, percussion instruments and music trivia etc. to "sweeten" it for the kids. As someone who speaks 4 languages (2 fluent, 2 intermediate) I can say - In fact, I started learning a very difficult language less than a year ago and people are amazed at how good I am considering the time I've been practising. This is because the first thing I did when I started was to write down every single letter (and there are 44!) + the equivalent English pronounciation etc. Still I congratulate you on your video and I'd pretty much agree with everything else said... Subbed !

you, are a life saver. my new father in law gave his old Tombi Accordian and said, "if you want my daughters hand...you will learn to play. I figured I am doomed. but no! I can do this!

I just got my S55 but am having trouble finding the Yamaha app you're referencing. Is there somewhere I can DL it?

This video is 4 years old but I am just finding it - good info. However I am still perplexed as to how to get those converted mp3s (from apple music) such that Chord Tracker reads them? Which library do I put them in? Apple music folder, Itunes folder? Any suggestions?

this might just fix a roadblock I'm having with a student, thank you!

Hi Tim. Thanksa lot for the excellent intro to iReal Pro. I am definately buying the app. I am a novice alto sax player of about 16 /17 years. I play tunes , but not to backing tracks and proper timing. In the last few years I have been trying to improve with karioke backing and what a drag. Your intro tutorial has gotten me what I am looking for. Thanks again and Im looking to see more from you

Great tips - thank you! 🔥🙏

Thank you for this vid!

I remember an old stream where here talked about this song, how it was a remix of a remix of a remix of a remix... Now I understand what he meant 😅

HOW DO THEY SOUND WITH THE WHEELS OF A MACK TRUCK PASSING OVER WITH A B- TRAIN TRAILER ??

can you do I"d love from Auour that song also have such a butifull key switch

I literally taught myself how to play piano on this. No teacher. No Book. Just this toy casio.

Please put the link on the coach's eye app and download it

Good lesson😂😂😂😂😂

What does Joseph halfman come from? Now talking to His studen😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

❤❤❤

That was great❤❤❤❤❤

What songs are in g minor pentatonic scale?

Sorry but what is the point of this video.

I like that idea of ‘creating emotions’ as a kind of glue to cement the other parts of the lessons :)

Effing hot dude

LOL yo, I remember that Demo mode tune from way back when I was a child. Maybe 3 or 4 years old when I played that.

The interview starts at 5:10

Always love the beginning of the month so I can get stuck into fresh repertoire!

Clear explanation which helps me to teach my pupil to improve on her technics. Thank you for your advice.

Mine prepay. If I don’t get 24hrs notice, they don’t get a make-up and I keep the money. It’s in my agreement and it works! Not many lessons missed now LOL

What about a normal, proper piano!

This is a great into, thanks mate

Thanks Tim and Jared for that great work! Would you consider putting time stamps next month, to travel through the video? Thanks for everything!

And he buys a rattle for his little son.

I'm trying to teach my 5 year old and I notice I get REALLY obsessed with getting his hand posture relaxed and correct. 😓. Should I not worry so much at such a young age? I don't want him to develop bad habits but I know I'm not making it fun....!

Can you layer the acoustic piano with the digital grand?

Great videos thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for to help me when I occasionally get asked to help play the organ at church!

If you have time please tell me: What is MUSIC as compared to Language/talking?

Hi Tim! I love your ideas about making connections between classical and contemporary pieces. There really is a lot of overlap. I also like the idea of turning this into an improvisation. My students love to highlight their scores. I'm glad the piece was useful for demonstrating these concepts.

Great lesson

Great video! I shared this on the deadmau5 subreddit and deadmau5 himself responded! Here’s what he said: “Yeah, pretty cool breakdown, but yup, def Purcell / Wendy Carlos inspired... and the clockwork is a nod to ticking right on the circle of fifths in full and also a nod to a clockwork orange ;) Which is one of my favorite movies. This guy tho kinda funny "I dare not watch it" hahaha all good, either way he does a great breakdown!”

Awesome video. Deadmau5 is my favorite artist and this context makes this track so much cooler.

Yeah!! So good. Teacher here in the UK, I love classical and dance music and the circle of 5ths, what more could a person wish for!? 😂 I love your output, and your general enthusiasm and positivity around music pedagogy. You make me feel brave to experiment with unconventional ways of doing things, and following where the students’ (and my) energy take us. Thank you so much. ❤

Came here after somebody posted this on the deadmau5 subreddit. Super interesting video, thank you! Subscribed :)

okay it's kinda crazy how it's actually like a clock moving around the circle of fifths, 12 keys for 12 hours on the clock. never would have realized that and absolutely blows my mind. he actually opened with this track at the start of the proper deadmau5 set for his retro5pective show this last month, which i seriously didn't expect. hearing it live was awesome.

Always enjoy your discoveries!

For me these things tend to kill piano study: 1) Surrounded by people your own age and up who hear nothing in classical music 2) Parents who are waiting to cut their losses when you quit 3) Practicing on a piano that is not good enough quality for one to have enjoyment of piano sound and effects 4) Not having a private place to practice available daily 5) Having to practice in the living room irritating people who don't like the sound and the repetition 6) Learning that Saint Saens could play all 32 Beethoven sonatas from memory when he was fifteen years old 7) Being told that anything you take so long to learn to play is on a CD or can be streamed to play immediately

thankyou for your video

Awesome mate, super interesting.

Thank you! Great collection! Looking forward to teaching these pieces!

For me my problem is the fixed nature of the piano itself, especially the pedals. I'm 6'4 with size 15 shoes. I'd really benefit from having the pedals further back. Luckily I can do this with stage pianos tho

Really great ideas!

👍

Thank you for posting, I would love to get infornation on how to build confidence in parent communication as a music teacher.
