📹 Step-by-Step: How to Record Your First Piano Song
1. Choose a Loop You Know Well
- 4 chords is enough (C–G–Am–F, for example)
- Just 30–60 seconds of music is plenty
2. Use Your Phone Camera (Front or Overhead)
- Prop it up where both hands are visible
- Landscape mode looks better for sharing
3. Warm Up, Take a Breath, Then Hit Record
- Don’t overthink it
- Play slowly and confidently — not perfectly
4. Keep the Audio Natural
- No mic? No problem. Built-in phone mics are enough
- Eliminate background noise if possible
5. Watch It Back and Smile
- It’s not about being flawless — it’s about being proud
- Bonus: Notice what to improve next time
🧠 What to Play in Your First Recording
Try one of these song loops:
- “Let It Be” – The Beatles
- “Someone Like You” – Adele
- “Demons” – Imagine Dragons
Or simply loop C–G–Am–F with a rhythm like Down–Down–Down–Down.
📤 Where to Share (If You Want To)
- Send it privately to someone who’s encouraged you
- Post to a progress community or group
- Upload to YouTube or Instagram with a “beginner challenge” hashtag
Remember: You’re not showing off. You’re showing up.
If you’re ready to celebrate your first 30 days of piano progress with a simple song video, this is your sign.
