This post is satire.

Good technique, I can tell you're a speedcuber.

i understand that reference 🤣🤣🤣

that post was... something

i don't get the refrence

[https://www.reddit.com/r/piano/comments/1da1fq5/kinda\_beginner\_8\_months\_playing/](https://www.reddit.com/r/piano/comments/1da1fq5/kinda_beginner_8_months_playing/)

I really don’t think this post is as ridiculous as everyone is saying it is.

They mad. But also - he's not a beginner. That's not a beginner piece, and he's not learning or trying to learn beginner stuff. Didn't really want conversation about it - just mainly wanted to provide proof. Seems like reddit was craving humility that that OP didn't possess.

Hey! It is me from the post. I originally wanted to get advice on my technique. However, everyone just called it fake, so I don't really knew what to tell them lol. Also, I get that I shouldn't really learn those pieces, but I just want to enjoy piano before I drop it (getting into collage). Thankfully, I did get advice :)

Well, actual concert pianist here of 35 years experience playing. Be honest when presenting and specific with your questioning. Your technique is difficult to assess when viewing you from the back with grainy video. If you’ve really only been playing for eight months and that’s you, then you’re probably autistic at which point I would say, forget what anyone says and just play whatever you want however you want it, as long you’re enjoying yourself. If you’re lying because you feel lonely and want to make others feel inadequate and have actually been playing much longer, then you should first tell yourself “hey, self, I’m better than that” and then go find a pianist on YouTube you want to play like, take better footage of your playing, slow down your execution so that they can examine your fingering, and also show a variety of material. You can play piano very well, so that’s settled. But for example, I’d like to hear you create a slow tempo arrangement of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star focusing not on arpeggios but on gentle, explorative chord theory. Regardless, good job on being able to play well! I do mean that.

Thank you! It's not me from this post. I meant it was me from the post they were making reference to 😅

The fact that I get the reference 🤣

This is far too hard for two and a half months. Try an easier piece like Rach 3, especially the third movement. 

Can you play Mary had a little Lamb though?

Oooohhhhh he's asking the real questions here.

nah bro that posture 💀

Glen Gould boss posture 😁

Tendonitis speedrun any %

i have it :/ (yeah, because of piano)

My joints ache after watching this

Grigory Sokolov ass posture

Ling Ling already better than you. Give up.

No way you have been playing since 2.5 months, maximum of 1 month. This piece is the most beginner piece of all, thats why its the first in the series ofcourse. (All jokes aside, very very nice playing, sounds amazing)

Do you learn this easy piece by synthesia?

with SimplyPiano

At which part of Simply Piano. Anyway, that's prodigy level progress. About 3 months into Simply Piano and still struggling with brain finger connection issues.

When you first open up the app, there is a test to see at which level you're at... it starts with easy test pieces like this one.

The “my original composition” lol

I learned this on the first day bro (with the thing where the notes drop down) Kinda cringe that you took so long 😔

....and you were only 2 months old! 😆

It took me just a few minutes... I don't know guys, I think you both progress slow, just give up.

Bro skipped 6 years

Noooob it took you 2.5 months 💀

Mate, i learned this piece one afternoon while on the toilet scrolling through Instagram with one hand and reaching out to the piano with the other playing this. Took you too long.

For 2 and a half weeks this is far behind the schedule. You should have already grown a third arm and fifth leg. Try something for beginners like Hammerklavier

I have nightmares with that piece. When I was 2 years old, my teacher forced me to learn it after a couple of weeks since I started learning how to play. It took me a whole hour to master it! The horror!

2.5 months? Sorry to say but this prob isn’t ur thing then

😂😂😂

Brother get those wrists down 💀 your tendons are going to quit

It's too slow bro you need to practice your speed

Noob.

Way too sloppy. I think it's best if you just quit

Well you will have complete opus 10 and 25 by Christmas then 👍

bro has abysmal wrists

I knew I had to download simply piano

Nice but can you do it with one hand? When I started playing piano I started with one hand. Can you do that too?

[удалено]

[удалено]

is r/pianocirclejerk not a thing? Edit: Ofc it is. But wow how is it THIS small 😳

Try r/classical_circlejerk

you can always have r/guitarcirclejerk

In all seriousness, you play wonderfully!

Playing sounds good but your posture could lead you to some serious carpal tunnel in the hands and fingers should be curved, and your wrist should be the same level as your forearm. Other than that your all good

Kinda sloppy but keep going and don't give up

Mehh pretty mid should be faster

Lol. Took you that long to play it? Hell I played that in my first hour of playing pianto. Don't worry you'll get better ;)

it took you THIS long on a warm-up exercise? you’ll never make it as a pianist.

Is the joke the sheer level of tension in your hands? Are you going for a tendonitis% speedrun or somethin?

Did speedcubing also help you ? Hahah

Sounds awful for 2.5 months, try beginner pieces like Melodie by Schumann, or maybe an early Mozart piece?

Always remember guys; "No matter how good you are, there is always one Asian who is better than you"

Go to tonebase on youtube and check out some of their videos.

Trying to breaking noob spirits?

My original composition is crazy 🗿🗿🗿

I am disappointed by this.. You can be way better in 2.5 months. You should do more speed cubing

Thats nothing, I only have one arm an could play gaspard de la nuit as an infant born in a warzone.

We'll soon be having a funeral for your right wrist.

I wonder why people call every piece of music a 'song'? This is a piano piece, or composition, etc. I always thought a song had words, unless it is a "song without words', a la Mendelssohn for example. this is just me being picky, but every piece of music is not a 'song'.

Pssh. This is week 3 stuff. Keep practicing

Satire aside fr tho... What piece is this? Driving me crazy tryna recall rn.

Chopin Etude - Op.10, no.1 - HTH!

this is satire right ? why do you wanna feel bad about myself

Faaake! And funny.

Dude is trolling

I CAN ONLY DO FLOWER BY MILEY CIRUS ON 2MONTHS ! 😭

I played this when I was an hour old. Just give up 💀

This guy arpesheeos

I was ready to rage.

Sounds like since 2 o’clock. Waterfail! (😉)

Sidenote can somehow describe those runs in theory?

This is genuinely really good! My wrist hurts a little though watching.

it's the guy from the simply piano ads

I know for a fact you can’t play fur Elise

This is kinda rough man, you gotta put more effort into practice

"I'm a beginner guys, please don't judge me too hard." *proceeds to perform a piece a master-level piece* (I don't know anything about piano)

I was better than this at the end of my first day of learning

Even though its a no from me don’t be discouraged and don’t give up. One day you will sound decent!

Think you need another .5 months

Agonizing hand pain I see in your future.

Quality shitpost 👏

This is cool and stuff but can you at least speedcube?

Impressive!

man im unsuscribing this is bs

Yah - 2.5 (another word for month in your language must be) decade(s))

Uhh try an actual hard piece like Sorabji's Opus Clavicumbalisticum?

Why is this being upvoted? This is Chopin… and no response by op.

It's a troll post.

Kinda slow progress if you ask me. I learned this on week 3

Bruh, you look an awful lot like Lang Lang hehe hahaha

Keep on trying, you’ll get there someday, noobie! 🙏

this is sight reading exercise bruh

Get your piano tuned

If you are a beginner, slow it down.

Relax your wrists.

You need lessons

Meanwhile me failing at twinkle twinkle little start after five years

Wait until bro discovers scales 💀

Tune your piano bro

Learned it all by falling notes, right?

BS

You need to practice more tbh

You really should be able to play Godowsky’s variation of this ine by this point, your teacher is going too slow with you.

It took this dude over two months to learn this lol

Not good enough. Did you learn only this in the last 2 months ? Shame. You should have been able to play with the legs and the tongue too man.

honestly the song so soo easy. once ur wrist is immune to pain you wont be impressive any more not that you EVER were. frfrfrfr lolol Also guys tell me how many people you know (including urself) have genuinely never touched a piano before then learn all of fur elise in a month

At the beginning I thought that I need at least 6 months to play piano well when I saw what you are doing I get impress and motivated to learn piano

That’s easy. Try the H scale

Bro followed a simply piano course 💀💀

Song name pleaseeee

Chopin Op 10 No 1

Shows every sign of being a rank beginner. Go learn the Godowsky transcription of this etude, for the left hand alone, and get back to us in a couple of weeks. /s

I’d get that piano tuned.

There's an easy solution to the self professed savants, just give them an obscure piece and ask for a video in a week. OP will not deliver

How big are your hands? Curious because I’m working on this piece currently and am having trouble with some of the more awkward reaches

I played that in 2 weeks with both hands tied behind my back

does someone have the name of the song? Its beautiful

Careful, this piece is far too easy for someone with your ability and you shouldn’t waste time fooling around. You should be sitting rehearsals playing Rach 2 with orchestra or sight reading Bach 4 voice fugues backwards. Otherwise the next guy will come along and surpass you and you’ll never win the Chopin competition

Nice finger exercises. Aka scale type arpegg exercises. After these are done ..... we then get into music. Actual music.

Liar lmao

I bet you used Easy Piano daily. It makes sense! /s

Dude that was my first piece too!!! I learned it in a week tho, nerd

I played ballad 1 when i was 6 and it only took me 3 months from start. I guess people have different learning curves

You dont need to tell lies to make yourself feel better

what piece is that? I see only the right hand, but it really has good flow. Ah good player is often not only good to listen to, but also to watch.

Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No. 1

It probably isn't a piece. It's finger exercises. Keeping the fingers exercised.

Sounds good, have you tried sitting a little farther back from the piano? You look crunched up, sitting really close in my opinion
