Brief Introduction

Learn by Watching, for Beginner Through Advanced Pianists. Includes Pedaling. Start Playing From the First Lesson.

Description

After receiving hundreds of requests from my YouTube viewers for a tutorial of Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2, which is a very advanced piece, I decided to create a version that keeps the gorgeous essence of the original, but is still playable by less experienced pianists and requires much less time investment.

In this course, you will get a note-by-note demonstration of this Easy Piano version. Each lesson is short, and focuses on only one section of the piece. You get the freedom to fit the lessons into your busy day whenever you choose!

You'll learn to play each section one hand at a time, so that you can really build up your muscle memory. Then, we'll put the hands together and practice combining the movements of both hands at the same time.

After you feel comfortable with moving your fingers, you'll learn exactly where to add pedal for that professional sound!

There is sheet music available (purchased separately) but reading sheet music is not necessary because I tell you the name of every note that I play, plus which finger to use, and you can write in the note names on the sheet music. Having this "map" to follow helps keep you organized, but it's not a requirement for the course.

I also provide a performance video of the entire piece, so that you can always refer back to it for ideas on musical expression, and to keep yourself motivated to keep going!

With my clear instructions and your commitment and love for playing the piano, you WILL experience the joy that comes from letting your fingers bring this beautiful music to life. You can do this!
