In this video I react to a video by Brandon Hawksley where he shows his first year of learning the piano. For the first half of the year Brandon is self taught and then he gets some piano lessons. It can be useful for anyone learning the piano to see what other people are doing well and can improve on, so I hope you enjoy this video!

Look at how his feet are positioned as a complete starter. Despite having no pedals his feet are positioned as if he were to be using a sustain pedal.

I watched this guy's video when I started the piano to motivate myself and he managed to do the opposite since my progress was way far to his...

I am starting my 7th year of piano, as an adult learner, and I am far behind that level. Should I just quit?. NO, everyone has a different learning path and, I would say, if that 1 year time is legit, most people don't reach that level in that time. So, don't feel bad and ENJOY THE TRIP !!!

Not gonna lie... The reason why he became so good so quick was because his motivation was to play Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts piano arrangements LOL The love for the music in those games is unbelievable.

Im also an adult beginner and it took me one year to learn für elise 😅 and after 4 years of daily practice and lessons I can say I am an intermediate beginner… so no pressure. Learning piano is slowly progress, patience and a live-time-journey.

The scariest thing is that I got a simply piano ad at the start of the video.

It smells like he may have had a year or two when he was young but well done to him either way!

Thank you so much for this! Your comment at 6:22 about how he is playing without reading the sheet music is exactly the predicament that i’m in now. You’ve finally made me realise why I’ve not seen much improvement in my playing in the past 2 to 3 years. I’ve been playing for about 10 years and my ability to sight read has plummeted because I was learning pieces by memorising the hand positions or learning pieces exclusively by ear. I’m actually pleased with my ability to play by ear, but letting my sight reading slip meant that I subconsciously avoided any pieces that were above my level. I wasn’t progressing because I was using my ear as a crutch and not struggling with more difficult pieces by sitting down and reading score.

I learn so much from your videos. I took lessons for a couple years with no interest at a young age and am now teaching myself and your videos are super helpful. I’m going to start looking at my pages more than before and practise reading music.

You can clearly see the love into music in his trip. It’s definetly possible to learn that much in a year.

I started playing piano without being able to read sheetmusic. Just started recently and it‘s going alright. After this video I‘ll def look at the paper more instead of my hands so i can sightread soon

You’re quite exacting in your review, but I can see the passion on your face when you play yourself. I’ve also left reading way behind as I play for ‘just fun’, but I WILL go back and learn theory no matter what.

Regaarding the 700 hours in a year equating to 2 hours per day well when I started playing guitar I'd read and article about a young Steve Vai that did 10 per day, other like John Petrucci that practised 10-12 per day when learning. I personally spent 4 hours a day 6 days per week for a full 18 months (1 hour for chords, scales, finger picking and just general making noise or trying to jam along to favourite bands). So to me 2 hours per day is completely in the realm of moderate practise.

Ok, so I pretty much always give the benefit of the doubt that these videos are real. Only two hours a day for a year? I was an addict when I first started playing piano. I was cranking out a MINIMUM of 5 hours per day, straight for a year. I woke up at 5-6am consistently to crank out a few hours of piano before school started at 8 am. Then I would play the entire day coming home. Within the first three months I started to learn stuff like animenz’s Guren no yumiya, after a few months I played Fantasie impromptu, tried winter wind but was not technically developed enough. Then at 1 year 1 month~ I uploaded a video of me playing Liebestraum. People who haven’t been TRULY addicted to something, like piano or even my recent chess addiction, don’t know how hard you can grind in a short amount of time.

I enjoyed both your reaction videos. I have just bought a digital keyboard last week, although I regret not buying one with a pedal. I am trying to self teach me as I don't have much time. Would it be possible for you to create a video about roadmap for self taught beginners? Like how should one proceed, should one learn chords first, read sheet music, which pieces should one focus on what time and similar things. It would be incredibly helpful.
