    I just cannot get enough of this woman! She is just a wonderful teacher and when she names EACH keynote or chords by letters with charts or POPUPS symbols just make it all easier to follow..... ❤️🆕🆕❤️

    The simplest, most comprehensive technique of teaching teenagers in a way they'll be motivated.....unlike learning notes that might bore them and no longer pursue learning.
    Great job ma'am. I'll use this method in teaching my nieces .❤❤

    I came to your videos to learn the Nashville number system. I got a good keyboard with the intent of learning music theory to help me learn the guitar. After going through some of your videos, I'm going to give learning piano another try. I'm 65, and I have plenty of time to learn music now. I've tried several times in the past, but life gets in the way. I recently bought what I consider a good music theory book. I'm part way through it. Hearing things explained from another source has helped clear uo some things. Thanks for your work.

    I've always had the passion to learn to play the keyboard, and now, at 58, I bought my first keyboard. I've been searching on RUclips to find some tips and techniques step-by-step. I have gone through dozens of videos until I came across yours, and I find very catching onto and hoping to learn more from your videos .

    Day 1 for me. Just got home with a new Yamaha keyboard. And it’s so cool to see that the song that inspired me to Finally start to play is the first to learn. (Well, many years ago as a child, I did learn MHALL 😉). Now, off to learn this. Thanks!

    I’m using my niece’s old Yamaha keyboard and relearning how to play piano. I’ve had lessons many years ago. My first instrument was an accordion so I struggle with the left hand. I’d like to teach my sister who is 80 years old too. The idea of starting with chords makes it sound nice. I like it.

    Thanks for asking, Kaitlyn. I am 41 from Greece. I want to learn the piano because I love music and I find joy in playing music alone or with the company of others. I already play the electric bass amateurishly, but the piano and the keyboards are totally different than that. Playing music is so beneficial, healing and a means of socialization. I think it's the most enjoyable and powerful mental exercise. Also, I like learning and developing new dexterities in general.

  • @leocadelina7146
    @leocadelina7146 Год назад

    I want to learn to play piano. There's nothing I can do better with time. I feel weaker everyday. I was blind once for about three years until I was lucky enough to get a free eye surgery in two consecutive years. I was using Davis 955 Piano Keyboard with 61 keys for several years now however a slow learner, I was enjoying as I strike the keys and pretty excited how my fingers can work with some of the keys I can hardly remember what name it was. I enjoy most of the sounds I was able to create while practicing broken chords, sometimes not really. Thank you for sharing your channel with your skills and talent. I don't regret starting off late to learn piano looking years back because there's still months left, but with you around, no need to struggle to enjoy playing piano in years.

    I'm the eldest of 6 kids. We had a piano in our house for as long as I can remember. I learned guitar from 9 years on, by ear. Then I taught myself all the chords on the piano, except I know now was the wrong way. Eg the C chord I would do an octave on the C with my left hand, then E, G, and C with my right hand. I would follow that pattern on all the chords for every note. I started learning the lead guitar parts for Beatles songs, The Shadows, etc. Formed a band at 16, where I played lead guitar for 5 years, playing at pubs and clubs around Birmingham in England, UK. At 34 I formed a new band, where I played bass guitar for 5 years. After that I did nothing but the occasional playing electric guitar along to backing tracks.
    Now at 62, I've decided to learn to play the piano properly, from scratch, as I recently bought a new Yamaha P-125 for my 85 year old mum, who plays from music sheets. I tried to play "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc, by watching RUclips videos of people playing it, then realised I really need to learn all the chords again properly, especially the inverted ones.
    So I found your channel and like your approach to teaching. I plan on following your method. Thanks!

  • @With-one-wing
    @With-one-wing Год назад +2

    I started teaching myself guitar at the age of 52. Last year at the age of 58 I developed severe rheumatoid arthritis and I cannot bend my fingers well enough to easily play guitar chords. So I got a keyboard and decided to try the piano since I can keep my fingers Fairly straight. I’m not really into piano and I would love to get back to guitar but I enjoy playing music and maybe I will learn to love the piano. Also, I am legally blind, and cannot see well enough to read sheet music even on the computer zoomed in. So this is why I have to learn piano using chords.

    I saw your videos on RUclips and immediately felt like learning to play the piano. I then bought a Roland FP10 and am now trying to follow your learning method.

    @memmlo Год назад

    So I've had a piano/keyboard all my life and been able to play chords on it.. But only like with chords + one baskey if i could say so. I want to learn more. And today, because of you, maybe 20 years from starting I'v learned how to make scales. And i'm frustrated it took so long but i'm also VERY happy. So now i'm looking around, see what else i've missed out on.
    But for real, piano wasn't what i've tried to learn. It's the violin! So from that to learning notes, thinking it will be easier to understand on piano, i'm here 😅

Few weeks before, I was in my cousin's room, where I found his keyboard, and started playing. Although it was just random notes, but I kind of felt connected to it. Now I want to learn it properly, so that I can chanelize my energy through it...Let see how it goes

    I started playing piano for the first time at 51 yr old through private lessons. My primary goal is to be able to play at home for fun. I want to be able to play Clair de lune. Is it better to stick with private lessons for classical music or can I use this faster method? I don’t want to have to take lessons for years with little progress. I am having to learn a lot of songs I’ve never heard of so it’s hard to know if I’m playing them correctly. Every once in a while I’ll play something and I get excited but there isn’t much to the song since I’m in beginner mode.

      Hi there! I have subtitles created professionally and uploaded to this video. You have to turn them on yourself.

    Instead of counting half-steps. i look at the keyboard in terms of intervals. Chords stack in thirds; music theory is not as problem for me. I'm not familiar with the song you used as an example. but I think I'll start with the song "Imagine". The reason I want to learn the piano is because it is the composer's instrument and I am a singer/songwriter.
