You are awesome! I’m a beginner and I must say your enthusiasm is so inspiring! Unlike a lot of other piano players who just want to show off and aren’t easy to follow. You rock girl, thank you!
There's a lot of good tutors on RU-vid but she is so far the best for a beginner to follow along with. Her optimism paired with the calm relaxing atmosphere really help too.
I love this channel sooo much! I've been playing piano for about 13 years, but I still love coming to this channel to learn different techniques. There's always room for growth!
I have a bad left hand and as a result have never been a great player but am proficient in reading music and chords….after 20 years of inactivity I have gone back to playing keyboards since Covid lockdowns (not piano due to my left hand) and get soooooooo much joy out of watching your chord progressions and then experimenting with them on my keyboards 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had great fun with this. Have tried to teach myself for years and was getting nowhere. Your lessons are inspiring me and giving me so much more satisfaction.
I used to play around on this small keyboard I used to have as a kid and taught myself how to play the songs in the book that came with the keyboard. Moved on to teaching myself more piano songs that I really enjoyed like moonlight sonata but, I was not very good at reading music as far as time signature and speed of the notes. I would write in with pencil the letter of the note on the sheet music but, It had to be a song I had already heard so I new the speed. I quit with it and, fast forward to a couple weeks ago, I purchased an electric piano and have started teaching myself how to read music. I found your channel and it has really helped me a lot. Thank you so much!!!
Your videos are just fantastic. I am 6 months a beginer who found you for your hand independence excercises... at which I am struggling. But I found all yout videos are wonderful. If I could only corrdinate my hands for piano as I do for typing i would be ready for stage 🙂Thank you so much for you video lessons.
Really enjoy these videos. Thank you. Seriously some of the best quick piano lessons on RU-vid. Always appreciate your enthusiasm and excitement for music!
BTW: I started teaching myself to play in November (when I turned 71), I'm amazed at how many on-line teachers there are...tried so many of them. I'm doing quite well (if I do say so myself). Just wanted you to know you are the best -so far and thank you. TWO thumbs up!
Because of you I have learnt how to play keyboard at aged 53, been going since middle of lockdown summer 2020. It brought me so much joy! This timely tutorial is my next step and it’s just beautiful, thank you.
Lisa you are such a warm and enthusiastic teacher. My son has been wanting to learn piano so last night I gave him a little mini lesson to encourage him to use his thumb! I went “hm Lisa would probably do something fun or silly here to remind a student to use proper fingering”, so I told him that he didn’t want his thumb to get “lonely” and we had a good laugh about it each time he forgot! Vs my usual stern self “use proper fingering, kid” We ended up giving each finger its own unique name last night (his idea), including “Fivey” and “Four-o” because he likes naming things! Thanks again for your wonderful example of a kind, enthusiastic teacher.
I would like to ask if you have a book with Christmas songs and taught on youtube? You have motivated me to start learning to play the piano a few months ago and wish to practice during the year for the 2021 Christmas season. Let's all hope we have a healthier and kinder 2021 New Year. It would be a dream come true...especially at my age of 65 years. Blessings
Hello! I want to say that all of your videos are very helpful and that I've learned a lot of cool things! Could you do a video on how to hear minor chords and play scales by ear? I can usually figure out major scales since my ear is used to it, but I really struggle with minor ones. Thank you! Have a nice day and a happy new year!! :)
Pianote has helped me so much. I’m not that much into covering but more into improvising and this channel has helped! I’ll totally use this riff when I’m improvising, thanks so much! 😊
This is and you are awesome - I've played guitar for 45 years, started messing around with piano a year or so ago and all these little building blocks are so fun - thanks for the inspiration and sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for this video-cool music! Can you tell me... •What key is this in? • What is the chord progression? • Where did the F# come from? It sounds like minor, but then shouldn’t you use flats? Thank you!
Thank you different notes can create so much emotion even doubting the same note and change the rythem can lead to very interesting and intense moments. We are the painter of our moments as we paint we enjoy .
Lisa and Pianote, I found you here on RU-vid early this month, and I have been practicing almost every day -- including when I went to a women's silent retreat last week -- I had brought my piano books and some chord charts of my favorite songs (from our worship team) and found a quiet room with a piano and a keyboard, AND kept up with my practicing while there. :) My dad was career Air Force, and I never asked for a piano or lessons. I knew he wouldn't ship a piano across the Atlantic. Long story, but as an adult I started lessons and prayed for a piano. I was given one, but then I became a mom and life got busy. (Of course, I regret not continuing!) I learned to read music years ago and have sung, sang in choirs/ensembles, directed a teen choir, been on a worship team, etc. all my adult life. But the issue of playing with both hands always stumped me. Until -- you're the first piano instructor I've ever heard say that it feels like our hands and our brain don't know how to cooperate (loose paraphrase)... I always thought I needed two heads (one for each hand) in order to play with two hands. BUT you have taught me in this short month how to triumph over this, and in a few short weeks I am playing simple songs with both hands, sometimes slowly, but at least I'm playing, and the chords are looking more familiar!!! I LOVE these videos and your amazing lessons and your sweet spirit! A thousand Thank you's! P.S. You're right -- when we're consistent with practicing, time flies and 15 minutes of practice turns into 30 or 45 minutes or longer. ;) Again, Thank you!
I have finally dived in and picked up a used Casio keyboard. I have no clue how to read music (yet). I came across your videos and must say that I love the simplicity of them as I am trying all kinds of things. Thank you for showing the keys played with them being red. I take notes and then try them on my KB. Wow is all I can say as I am learning my way around. Keep up the great work as this is lots of fun to say the least. It is also great to slow the video watch speed as needed to catch the notes. Keep up the GREAT work.
Thanks for yet another ear worm! Will have hours of fun adding a few more chords and then a guitar solo. Great lessons at exactly the right level. Happy new year.
Hello Pianote. My name is Denzel. I subscribed to your channel and started following you on the social media platforms. I'm a beginner in playing the keys and hope to learn more from here.
The simplicity of this repeated riff makes me think of the theme to "28 Days Later". Although the theme is rather dark, perhaps you could use it as a demonstration of the power and impact a repeated riff can have. Love the vids.
Wonderful motion, and a simple introduction to finger movement. Yes, it has that Mike & the Mechanics style pop chart entry. Though it needs that southern electric guitar also. kind regards and happy Gregorian New Years to you and your family God bless
Happy New Year Lisa ...reminds me a lot of Einaudi pieces. I am new to the piano but find that I can play most of his work as it seems to follow a pattern.
About to take delivery of my first digital piano tomorrow (yamaha p45) and will stick with you to guide me through learning the basics and beyond. Love your personality and charisma, should be fun 🙂
Amazing, its sounds great! Trying to see all the videos you've uploaded. The best teacher around! 😊 The riff sounds a bit like "Boys of Summer" which is a plus for me. I'm starting with piano (using Melodics) but this is totally different and complementary! Those tips are fun and really improves my clumsy performance a lot! Now checking your piano courses, perhaps a new studend its on the the way? 🤔😉
