Piano Lessons for Kids - 8 - INCREDIBLE Exercise for Better Technique #kids #piano

Hello everyone and welcome back to this beginner piano series for kids. Today we're gonna be practicing playing with both hands. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna first write our notes on the keyboard. Here's middle C right here C D E F G and we're gonna do the same thing down here from this low C C D E F G here's our hand placement we're gonna put our right hand in the middle C position like we have been doing in past videos and then we're also gonna put our left hand down here but in the low C position where our pinky is on C and we have our five fingers lined up like this on each hand. Ready to go. So our exercise today sounds like this. What we're gonna do is we're gonna first play two notes with our left hand and then two notes with our right hand. Here are the notes we play with our left hand. We play C G and then on our right hand we play C G as well. So the same notes for each hand. Left hand C G, right hand C G, C G C G, C G C G and you're going pinky, thumb, thumb, pinky. Let's just keep practicing the C G C G. Go at your own speed whether that be slow or fast already. If you can already do it fast, you can rock and roll and let it go. If this video is helpful for you please give it a thumbs up. Now what we're gonna do is we're gonna change the very last note of the pattern to an F. So we'll play C G C F, C G C F, C G C F, C G C F. Let's change the pattern again. We'll change the last note to an E now. C G C E, C G C E, C G C E, C G C E. And we'll change it one more time. We'll change it from an E to a D. C G C D, C G C D. You can practice the whole pattern like this. That's kind of fun. If you have a sustain pedal you can also use that. A sustain pedal is this little switch or pedal that plugs into your keyboard and when you hold it down and play, it sustains the notes. If you're playing on a real piano that will be the pedal on the far right. If you want extra practice in this lesson, what I recommend is doing the exercises we did in previous videos but with both hands at the same time. For example, the exercise Seesaw went like this. But now with both hands. Then we had Gummy Worms. Both hands this time. And the very last exercise in the past video was this. Hey, thanks for watching this video. I hope that it was helpful for your learning. Please check out the next video in this series because there is so much more to learn.
