What I've Learned About Piano Beginners

I've been posting piano tutorials on YouTube since 2009, and I launched my free Piano For Beginners' course on YouTube in 2015. In this tutorial I go through some of the common technical problems that piano beginners, and especially self-teaching piano beginners, face. Some of them are obvious (hand independence) some are not at all obvious (the problem of counting) and I've also dropped in a couple of random ideas that might help you... like learning how to play the recorder.
