Observe fingering at an available slower speed
Use a slower rate exposed by the player to inspect hand position and movement in the source. LoopVideo does not detect which finger is used.

Loop Piano Passages and Tutorials from YouTube
Keep one piano passage returning while you observe fingering, practise a chosen physical task, and connect short sections.
Quick answer
Paste an embeddable piano lesson, performance, or masterclass, set A and B around a short passage, and choose a slower rate the player actually provides. Practise the right hand, left hand, or coordination yourself, then add Count-in, Rest, or Gradual speed-up when useful. Gradual speed-up advances one player-reported supported rate every two loops until 1x.
Build a piano passage loop
- 1
Choose a piano source
Paste a valid YouTube ID or supported URL for an embeddable lesson, performance, or masterclass.
- 2
Mark a short passage
Set A and B around one phrase and adjust either boundary in 0.1-second steps.
- 3
Choose speed and physical task
Select a player-reported rate and decide whether you are observing fingering, practising one hand, or coordinating both.
- 4
Add support, then save or share
Use Count-in, Rest, or Gradual speed-up when helpful, then save locally or copy the supported practice state.
Practise one hand or coordination
Right-hand practice, left-hand practice, and hands-together coordination are activities chosen by the pianist. LoopVideo repeats the same source audio and video; it does not separate hands.
Connect short passages deliberately
Master one A–B range, then move or widen its boundaries to include the next phrase. LoopVideo does not create or automate a sequence of multiple segments.
Prepare rhythm with Count-in clicks
Use a 0–3 second Count-in before returning to A. The optional click plays only during that count-in, not as a continuous metronome through the passage.
The pianist chooses the task
LoopVideo does not synchronize sheet music, detect fingering, separate hands, or record practice. Videos may fail when embedding is disabled, or when they are age-restricted, private, removed, or otherwise unavailable. Live streams are unsupported because they have no fixed duration. Returning to A may have a small seek delay. Speeds and captions differ by video. Saved loops and history stay in the current browser. Background playback and lock-screen playback are unsupported in LoopVideo.
Frequently asked questions
- Can LoopVideo separate the right and left hands?
- No. You can choose to practise one hand while watching the same source, but LoopVideo does not separate its audio or video.
- Does LoopVideo follow sheet music or detect fingering?
- No. It neither synchronizes a score nor detects the fingers shown or played.
- Can I hear a preparation click before the passage?
- Yes. Enable the optional click for a selected 0–3 second Count-in; it stops when the video passage begins.
- Can I build a chain of several passages?
- Not automatically. Practise one A–B range, then move or widen the boundaries yourself.
- Will saved piano passages sync?
- No. Saved loops and history remain in the current browser; copy a share link to move supported state yourself.
