How the "Payam Method" keeps the joy in learning piano

I'm sorry but teaching with a personalized curriculum or reharmonizing existing pieces wasn't invented by Payam lol

As a classical pianist this is how i teach my kids

60 minutes is just a platform for long form advertising now apparently

Adaptive Education is the future

That reminds me I need to finish the The Iliad and The Odyssey

Legacy media is so out of touch. This is just standard piano teaching for at least the past two decades.

I took piano for 6 years until my teacher retired in 2009. I mostly chose which music I wanted to play so piano was always fun. But as tedious as music theory is, it is important to make it a foundation. And it's also good to start with classical music because once you learn classical, learning how to play everything else is easy.

This is how my piano teacher taught me back in the early 2000s!

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing this piece. I never studied piano, but just learned pieces I loved. Amélie, A Thousand Miles from Vanessa Carlton, Fur Elise, All of You from John Legend, Clocks from Coldplay… it was so much slower because I was self taught. This was 20 years ago. I still play these pieces. Recently, I’ve played Amélie for a classical pianist on her YouTube channel - where she roasts channel viewers. She actually picked up on my rubato and ended with “I hear you’re a very musical person - self taught? Very impressive”. So this method makes a lot of sense! Thanks again for sharing! 😊

I like "ode to anxiety" 🎹🎶🎵
