How I Started & What I Did First | Some Inspiration & Guidance (Video Podcast)
This is more a video podcast episode so don't feel obliged to watch if you can just listen, although I do play the piano as much as possible to demonstrate points discussed. I started around 13/14 and through a combination of major scale mastery, natural fingering, lots of listening, technical exercises and fiddling with lots of chords and progressions, I've got to a level of 'not bad'. I hope my little story motivates you to focus on what you should be, above all: Major. Scale. Mastery. --- My (free) Video Management Website: https://www.dan-the-composer.com More exercises for virtuosity: • Video Personalised Water Pianism Syllabus: https://piano-jazz.blogspot.com/2022/...
