Guys, I finally found the method. I found a great tool and I just need to be a bit creative to make a really nice piano videos. I just realized that my channel lost monetization due to watch hours (reset after 1 year) and I pumped it again via SMM. I will apply for monetization again in a couple of days, I hope it will go through easily. I already made like 6-7 videos, I will start with that and I will do 4-5 every new videos every week. I took VidiIQ Boost - 1 month for free, so I am ready for launch. Is there are any details I should pay attention of in the beginning. I don't have a lot experience with YT, as I have few blogs and doing Reddit methods for a while. Any suggestion is appreciated!

since you said you teach ... well, make a "synthesia video", probably. but make it live. I'm bored watching hands only video with synthesia.
the keyword is still synthesia, even though people started using different software (I used to use PianoFromAbove then capture it using OBS, but later I used SeeMusic - paid but not too much). I actually never used synthesia lol.
if you ask me for an idea, maybe make a "hand video" using camera on top of piano. then for the background, shot yourself from distance using another camera. for synthesia video making, i find it easier to record MIDI using something else - I usually use Ableton Live, but any DAW shouldn't matter really), then throw them into SeeMusic. For video editing, I like to just "green screen" everything on seemusic, to chroma it later on external video editor, I usually use Davinci Resolve.
if you use Yamaha keyboards or piano (like high end Clavinova series), you can record MIDI directly using the onboard computer, then throw it directly into SeeMusic. Unless you do multi layering program, which WILL confuse the hell of it.
if you want some ideas for content, maybe start covering christian songs (if you're christian), or viral tiktod songs. it will ALWAYS have some views.
also, don't worry about video quality. I started literally with iPhone 5 and 5s, 3-4 years ago. You could always be safe with iPhone. With extremely tight budget, you could start looking for iPhone 5 with broken network. for audio, you could buy iRig Cast, or another external mic / audio input converter to your iPhone with 3.5mm jack. Problem solved.
maybe check my channel? "https://youtube.com/rinaldojonathan"
I also made synthesia video, but mainly on live environment, like my church. so it's impossible to make "hand videos".

Definitely cover "We don't talk about Bruno" from Encanto. There's way too many tutorials on that one, but not many that are straightforward high quality covers.

Do you also show face with videos ? You can interact with audience like play videos demanded by them in comments.

I exactly did that last night! I did it in 4k, so the rendering and editing are painful, but i will publish it tonight.

Thanks mate! You are right about this. I started to use SeeMusic, I paid subscription. I managed to set an above head camera. Filming with iphone 11 and soon with iphone 13. I have Yamaha DGX650, recording audio directly to usd and midi to pc via midi cable. I press record in the same time so audio and midi are sync. I use audio from Yamaha and midi is only for graphics in SeeMusic. I add video then and edit it all together. I do some extra editing in Vegas, with intro and outro, and that's mostly it.
Why don't you have more views? You have the knowledge.
I think we can use great VST to improve quality cover.
I think another good way is to make video playing with piano sheet and sharing it. In fact that there's still few video like this of the song "We don't talk about Bruno".

If you are so good, ask music critics with social media accounts to interview you and make a kind of show (this is show business after all).
Besides this, congrats for your developed skills. I know playing music is not as easy as people think.

You can do these
Play 90's game song
Play Game songs and make your viewers guess what game it is so you'll have comments engagements
Go to omegle or similar website and record yourself playing piano to see their reaction. Actually it is better if you prank them, at first show them that you don't know anything then you drop your bomb.
Play Tv shows or OST

You can try to refer to Joe Jenkins' channel and play anime music because the anime community is very big and it will probably help your channel to grow.
