At Home With Music
США
Добавлен 11 янв 2021
Welcome to At Home With Music!
I’m your host, León Olguín. (lay-OWN ol-GEEN) My young students often call me “Mr. “O”.
I started At Home With Music as a way to help homeschool parents teach all things music to their children.
As this channel has evolved, I have discovered another audience, folks of all ages from all over the world who are just getting started learning piano or keyboard, and those who are picking up their music education again, maybe years after they first took piano lessons.
Here you can learn (or review) basic keyboard, music reading, music theory and playing by ear, presented in a systematic, step-by-step approach. You can also study music history, and other music related subjects.
There’s no hype here, just solid information presented in a calm, conversational style.
Thanks for stopping by! I wish you all the best in your musical journey!

Thanks so much
Absolutely amazing explanation of piano chords and sound with respect to the circle of 5ths.. Word painting? Leon, you are brilliant. I subscribed and thumbs up. Thank you as this video is a treasure.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful.
Honestly thank you so much. I'm currently bed bound and these are exercises that I can actually do. I was so excited that I could move my fingers again. So again just thank you. Thank you, thank you! Amazing RUclips channel
Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry to learn that you are currently bed bound. I hope you will be able to get up soon. I'm glad that in the meantime the video proved helpful.
God's Grace. 🎉
Indeed! God has been unfailingly gracious to us.
Grateful you are safe and well. Your attitude is unsurprisingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing the phases of disaster.
Thanks cuz! Hope you are doing well.
very clear explanation, and great style! :)
I'm glad you found the explanation clear. Thanks for watching!
Enheartening news. May your good fortune never run out!
Thank you! Wishing you all the good fortune in the world as well!
Glad to hear the update and good to see you getting better. Take life one day at a time for now. It won’t be long before things will return to normal again.
Thank you for your kind words. The recovery will be long and arduous, but it will be done.
So glad you both are well! ❤
Thank you! God has been gracious to us!
Thank you for your update. It’s great to see you safe and sound. Praise the Lord for keeping you safe 🙏🏻✝️
Thank you for your kind words! We're grateful to be safe and appreciate your support.
God's blessings for you and the people of Ashville. Thank you or the update! We are in central Florida and are okay, certainly nothing to complain about compared to you guys up there. Our prayers are being sent for everyone in Ashville.
Your support and prayers truly uplift our spirits during this time. Thank you for thinking of us, and we're glad to hear you're safe in central Florida. We lived in central Florida for 32 years.
I'd argue it's not the technique, it's the panache that made Chico's playing fantastic
You're certainly right about the panache that characterized Chico's piano playing. Technically, what he did was actually quite simple (especially his left hand), but endlessly humorous and entertaining. Harpo, on the other hand, seemed to be much more serious and "lost in the music."
We just finished cleaning up from hurricane Milton, please keep everyone up to date.
Will do! I'm getting ready to record a quick update before returning to regular videos.
I loved this! I would like to explore the "melody" of the bass notes, as well as the "melody" of the highest note in each progression and see what we discover there!
That would be an interesting avenue of exploration. I may have to do a sequel!
Hi, if I could just make a small suggestion, maybe if you could take a simple song like Yankee Doodle and apply the different typed of modulation to show as examples to make it a little easier. Thanks, your videos are an excellent source of information, Pat.
That's s good suggestion. Yankee Doodle would be a good song to use for these types of examples. I'm adding this to my list of video topics I plan to use soon! Thank you.
At 63, this is happening to me. It's disrupting my piano playing, and it's REALLY screwing up my sight singing (for example, at church with organ accompaniment,). I used to be able to sight sing even the most dissonant and atonal music flawlessly; no more.
I can certainly understand how you feel. I'm not really a singer, but I can understand how having your perfect pitch begin to fade and waver could affect your ability to sight sing. In addition to losing my perfect pitch, I''m also losing my hearing in general (I have to wear hearing aids!). However, I intend to keep making and teaching music!
Thank you so much. Im taking piano lessons soon. These are great for prepping. I cant wait to play my favourite music. ❤
Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy to hear that my video is helping you prepare for your piano lessons. Enjoy every moment of it!
this is the BEST VIDEO on how to use the circle of fifths! Thank you so much Mr. O! I’m a vocal coach and I also teach beginner piano to help singers be able to sing and play at the same time. I’m classically trained in piano but was not taught about the circle of fifths. Thanks again! 🙏🏽
Thank you for your kind words. I think it's great that you are teaching your vocal students piano as well. They will definitely have a better chance of becoming well rounded musicians.
Our continued prayers for you and the rest of those affected Americans by Helena. Love and Hugs, Leon! ❤
Thank you! We are doing OK. There is a long road of recovery ahead for a lot of folks here.
Yes, it is something new to me but impressive and a little hard too fruitful.
It’s great to hear that you’re finding it impressive. Embracing new challenges can be tough, but it’s definitely rewarding in the end.
yours dad's birthday day celebration was awesome! Thank you
Thanks for watching. It was an awesome day!
I have yamaha 77keys.but don't have piano. so when I try something on piano, my finger waighr is very light , get hardtime to play something I like.
Going from a keyboard to a "real" piano can be a challenge, especially if the keyboard has unweighted keys.
I know the major /minor chords relative chords, etc. I know to play Tabla ( Indian percussion)
That's awesome! Knowing major/minor chords and playing the Tabla really showcases your musical versatility. Keep it up!
do I really need to lear staff notation? Does chords notation is enough as I am lazy to lear staff notation.
I encourage my students to learn the treble clef, and not worry too much about the bass clef. Learning the treble clef can help you play the melody of a song before you add in the chords.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome!
I am 68 years old. I love music for myself, and not to perform in public.
That's wonderful! Playing music is such a personal and enriching experience. Keep enjoying it just for you!
your 7th chords and bypass chords or make it gorgeous lesson is really good
Thank you!
My muscle memory is taking time ,specially my left hand. I have some background ofI dian classical music and basic theory of western music mostly by ear. I can play songs with chords still need to learn a lot.
When it comes to music, you never stop learning!
your teaching style is very encouraging! Thank you for showing me some hope!
You're welcome!
I'd like to purchase the book you referred to. How/where can I buy it?
You can search for "Hanon Piano Book" on Amazon (not affiliated).
Sir, wl practice these exercises today.🙌
That sounds great! Practicing these exercises will definitely help you improve. Keep up the hard work!
Beautiful teaching. Sir i am from Bengaluru, India. I am 50+ yrs old and a carnatic music teacher. Interested in learning keyboard very much. I tried but the teachers r too money minded and took many months to cover very less portion of the keyboard lessons. Wl try your lessons and can i share the video after practicing it to get corrected. Pls guide me. Thank you🙏🙏🙏
I'm glad to know that you are interested in learning keyboard. The "Music Basics" series can help you get started. The videos are free to view. Just as you want to learn keyboard, I would like to learn more about Carnatic music. If you would like to share video with me in the future, I would be happy to give you my thoughts.
Thank you for your teaching and inspiration.
You are so welcome!
Hi Leon. I have been a guitarist for many decades but now in my 70's I struggle with poor circulation which means playing a keyboard is much easier on my fingers than guitar. I can play chords and scales but hand independance is very difficult. Have you addressed this in an earlier video? I couldn't see one among them.
I may have touched upon the subject of hand independence, but that is definitely a subject I should come back to. Thanks for watching!
I don't mean to be rude, but we in Tennessee did not depend on fema and Joe Biden we are even being called on to help western carolina, we will gladly do God bless and fair well.
it is encouraging to see how many folks are helping others in this stressful time. Thank you for your well wishes.
This was not natural.
are you a geologist?
This was, we hope, a once in a lifetime event.
@athomewithmusic8698 lol, keep dreaming. How many of those have we had? Many many and everyone forgets Vermont. NYC, Katrina, the list is endless at this point. This is all done on purpose and they keep doing it. It will only get worse.
@@igneousidol yes, an awake geologist.
That made my day, thank you
It certainly was a special day. My Dad is quite a man!
,Thank God you and your family are safe. Prayers for everyone who was affected by Helene. Stay safe and God bless everyone☝️🙏🙏
Thank you for your kind words! We're truly grateful to be safe, and our prayers are with everyone affected by Helene.
This is the BEST explanation I have ever seen for the circle of fifths!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! The circle of fifths can be a tricky concept, but once you get it, it opens up a whole world of music theory.
❤
Thank you!
Such a terrible situation. Prayers for everyone affected.
Thank you!
🙏
Thank you for your prayers!
Sorry to hear the devastation brought by the hurricane Helene. Praying the Lord keep you all safe from harm and keep you well. In God we trust. ❤️
Thank you for your kind words and prayers. It means a lot to us during this challenging time.
The nation is "trying" to help but the G o v is PREVENTING people from coming in to give aid! Preventing air and ground assistance! Preventing food, water and supplies from coming in! Glad to hear the community is helping each other because that's all the help they may get! We love you all and want to help, but are being prevented just as in Hawaii. They are saying this is deliberate, in an attempt to do a "land grab". The land, they say, has resources "they" want, thus the hurricane. Plus it has been said they believe it will affect the votes, if you know what I mean! May God work miracles, because that's what is needed!
The government certainly has its problems, but it is heartening to see communities coming together and helping those in great need during this most challenging time.
@@athomewithmusic8698 Yes. The people are the true heart of America! Thank God for the people because there are still people out there struggling, holding on, waiting for aid. Hopefully the people get to them soon.
Wish you the very best to manage the situation. Best regards from Germany!
Thank you very much!
