I'm Peter Martin, and I'm Adamannis. Welcome to the You'll Hear It podcast.

Today, we're going to teach you how to learn piano fast.

Good, because I have a gig later, and I really should be brushing up on this.

Okay, so we've got to learn it like in the next.

What time do you gig?

It's at eight, so if we can. Okay, good. All right, let's move this along. So we're gonna talk about ways to learn piano fast. So this is for, you know, mostly non- pianists, because assumedly pianists already know how to play piano. Yeah, but you know what? If you don't, if you don't know some of these things, it's probably good idea that you brush up on it. Right. So these are like really the foundational ways just to get to that

functioning jazz pianist, I would say, level, which I really think is a lot closer to, especially

if you play another instrument or kind of have heard this music and stuff,

you're a lot closer to getting to this on piano than most instruments. And I mean, we always talk about it's our favorite instrument because we're pianists and we think it's the best instrument and we're a little bit biased. It is. It is. But it's also, I think, one of the most accessible instruments. Well, that's right. I mean, if you put a trumpet to my mouth right now, I couldn't make a sound probably.

Right.

Right.

But anybody could walk up to a piano and press the key down.

Pressing a button. instruments. Well, that's right. I mean, if you put a trumpet to my mouth right now, I couldn't make a sound

probably. Right, right. But anybody could walk up to a piano and press the key down. Pressing a button. Now, it doesn't mean it's going to sound great, no, but it is accessible. All right. So the first thing I would say, and I love teaching this in a way to, you know, to people, especially if you could like maybe play a little piano, but you don't know jazz at all,

is to kind of jump right in.

And that would be to learn how to play the shit. especially if you could like maybe play a little piano but you don't know jazz at all is to kind of jump right in

and that would be to learn how to play the shell which is the seventh and the third and a bass note over a blues okay

now this would take you a little bit amount of time but but it's the kind of thing that your your

ability to play this will start to increase exponentially as you give it a little bit of time.

So if we had a C blues, you've got C in the bass.

So of course you'll have to find a C.

Once you can do that, you're good.
