A beginner's guide to learning the piano // 15 topics you need to know

This video is a beginner's guide to learning the piano but also for anyone else who has some experience but looking for ways to develop more freedom on the instrument. It's jam packed with important piano lessons for beginners and teaches you a lot about how music actually works and how to start playing so you can improve and learn to speak music as a language.

These are things I have learned over many years experience, learning myself, playing with other musicians and teaching. Things that I know from first hand experience that many beginners don't realise and need to know in order to get good at piano. They will help lay a strong foundation of fundamental musical knowledge and piano skill to set up you up to keep learning and learning, get far more advanced and go down many musical avenues.

Of course it's impossible to unpack everything completely in one video, so this is an overview of how to play piano for beginners, and advice about things YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO AND WORKING ON over a longer period of time. Each topic will be getting its own dedicated videos to delve deeper into exactly what and how to learn effectively!
