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..... ❤️🆕🆕❤️
I am 63 years old. When I was 28 I had organ lessons. When I was 58 I bought a Yamaha Tyros and played with the experience I had on the Tyros. I always wanted to learn to play the piano since I was 28, but that never happened.
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.
Where were you 3 years ago when I NEEDED you XO
67 yo. I've tried to teach myself a couple times with books but got frustrated and stopped. One of your lessons was on my youtube, I watched and was very impressed. Watched another, and I was sold. Your humor is much appreciated, I started yesterday and am really excited to learn.
Awesome! Welcome to the pianoly world!
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 .
So glad you found me! Thanks for watching!! 😊
Hi Glenn! I think you will find great success with Kaitlyn! Good luck with your journey and enjoy the process!
I have been of more interest to know how to play the piano .having more interested in piano basic and simple playing techniques. Although I bought a piano recently. Am 43 on ege from kenya East Africa. Obliged
Hello. I'm excited to have come across your channel. I really wanted to learn cords and NOT that baby stuff. I feel like this is perfect for me. Thanks so much.
Your teaching is amazing! Thank you!
So good! Thanks!
Just love the sound
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.
Thank you for the great lesson
great teacher love this
I'm 58 and my entire life I wanted to learn the piano. My reason is both challenging myself and learning something new. It also seems like a activity that will be brain stimulating, I love puzzles and I can see the piano as a puzzle to solve. It is overwhelming and I even asked myself "what am I doing at 58?" Unsure how I will progress, trying to build finger dexterity with scales and learning how to read the notes. But I'm starting slow, scales, reading, and looking for and easy song that will help me with my motivation. I like your teaching style slow enough to comprehend yet not too slow to be boring. There is so much to learn!
After decades using typewriters (but not playing pianos) I find curved fingers absolutely natural and wonder why anybody would hold their fingers flat.
I’ll be 62 in a month, whacked at the drums a bit, but had too many melodies in my head that I could never get out of my head to my fingers.
Learning notes on the keyboard, while trying to learn notes on the staff just wasn’t (isn’t) working.
I need to learn where on the keyboard are the sounds in my head. Your method allows me to quickly relate keyboard areas (regions) and how they relate.
It’s sort of like learning guitar by strumming chords versus trying to play classical guitar finger picking as a beginner while trying to read sheet music. You can’t be musical with your hands when your brain is stuck interpreting notes from sheet to keyboard.
Wow this is certainly a excellent teacher she has really simplified the piano thank you for sharing in such detail and simple way.
You are such a great teacher with clear explanations. THANKS!
The church I was in this man played a piano, but sadly he passed and his wife donated me his antique piano, when I was younger I was taking piano lessons very shortly till we moved away, so now it is my dream to learn how to play hopefully someday for the church! ❤
I love the sound of this instrument. I have played guitar for many years and now wish to build on that. Piano theory is helping me to write music.
Indeed you're a teacher
Plz I need more of your tutorials. Thanks alot.
These piano tutorials are amazing!
I'm 62 and this really is my first piano lesson. I bought my piano today! This lesson is packed with info, and I am glad to know my arthritic curled fingers are the correct shape for piano playing.
Hi. Thanks for taking your time to teaching me
Great! I got a lot from this mini course. Love It!
I find the piano relaxing, conveying melodies that combine happiness with sadness
Thanks!!!
A wonderful teacher, I’m excited to learn
Hi, I'm 70 yo today and have promised myself to play the piano we've had for 40 years. I've watched some of your tuitions on RUclips and really impressed. Thankyou for inspiring me. Cheers, Rob from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you .
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.
wonderful
Super first lesson❤
Wow this lady is fantastic teacher, she makes it so much easier, if you get this message from London England, you are brilliant 😊
Took lessons for about 2 or 3 months in 1985 and stopped (won't go into detail why, but it had to do with my ex and her daughter). I have a keyboard and kept playing for awhile, but stopped. I recently got back into it now that I'm retired. They say learning a new language or an instrument is the best thing to keep your mind sharp. I really enjoyed this lesson. I have a small keyboard, so I'm limited to keys (64). Took me only a few minutes to get the C and D notes and Chords. Thank you for these lessons and I hope you keep making them.
Just trying to build a skill set. thanks for the lessons!
Everything is just B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L watching this lady!👍🏼♥️😎🎵🎹
Girl,,this is the best class ever, been watching several Vds, but nothing like this,concrete,very informative and animated, thanks much. Yup !
I retired and I'm 66 and I have always wanted to play a piano but I never had the time until now. About a month ago I bought a Yamaha keyboard with 76 keys to learn on. Yamaha gave me a free membership to a lesson site to get started, but the technique teaching is a little lacking on that site. I found your videos and am now cleaning up my techniques to make it work better and sound a little better. I'm learning the keyboard, I never marked the keys, I'm just learning where they are from sight and feel and I'm learning to read music in the treble clef at the same time. I'm really enjoying this adventure and am looking forward to learning a lot more as time goes by.
I am very happy to start piano training. I usually play piano but , really it is imitate others. Tha is why I need to start learning all lessons.
Awesome ❤
Awwww Thank you sooooo much xo
I relearning to play. I enjoy the paino.
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!
Thanks so kindly,I really want to know because I love it and be playing it during Masses
I love your style of teaching piano. I've been teaching myself since Christmas and struggling to learn notes still. I subscribed to you yesterday and can memorize chords...I've always wanted to play the piano since a young girl. I'm 46 and just now starting...
I want to finish once and for all to learn to play it has been a passion all my life to play. I had got married then the children came then my career. Now I live alone with my piano and have all this free time for me now. And mostly of all I would love to play and sing to the Almighty God to give him glory. Because is the one who gave me the gift..I also love your way of teaching I can understand you very easily. Thank you!!❤🎉
I will take your lesson from today. I got personal guidance last time, but after months of not having access to piano at all, I decided to learn piano again and started watching your lesson today. I will work hard first, so please post a lot of good videos. Thank you
I like the way you teach and explain, easy to follow. I like your video. Thank you
So nice your lesson. Finally I find someone who can teach for really beginners. I just want to learn a music instrument and help my little one enjoy music instruments and have fun playing music. Thank you so much.
You're a wonderful tutor
I did not skipped the ads in exchange for learning piano for free. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge❤.
Great Job you have motivated me to start singing! I bet your friends and family think you are a riot!! ❤ your facial expressions!
I'm 61 years old and have always been a music lover. I dabble with guitar but the piano haunts me. So, I bought a nice used piano and found you ! I'm very excited about learning. You make it very understandable. I'm not really a book person so your tutorials are great. Thanks for being you !
You explain in a very easy way ❤
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!
Watching you from Moscow.... You language is very clear, I understand almost every word, learn how musical terms sound in English. Your lessons are very interesting. Thanks! And good luck!!
Love that you are doing you tube, Kaitlyn. You really are the best piano teacher. Linda, Turks & Caicos Islands
Thanks, Linda! And thanks for watching! 😊
Hi..From Sri Lanka...Going to learn Piano,Selected you as the first Piano Teacher...Since your Features & Techniques...Simplicity..
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 😅
Hello Kaitlyn; I have been a Jazz lover since a young boy, I was always a sports player and once I found myself thinking about an instrament I fell in love with the sounds of the piano and it's natrual good looks. I really would like to incorporate poetry into my piano playing.
Very nice I learn a lot thanks very much for uploading your video tutorial i really like it and God bless you always. Take care.
Always wanted to play for church. Your method of constructing cords is easily learned
Really enjoying your videos, just wondering if you have any videos on rythems like in this one. 😊
I want to learn piano because I want to learn the violin🎹
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.
44, Dad of 2 toddlers, just bought a piano keyboard on the black friday sale via very large online retailer. Im looking forward to starting my journey next week or so. I figured im very good at typing, fast and accurate without having to look and can chat whilst doing it. Surely this must stand for something when playing piano. Let's find out 😅
🎉 your in my good teacher lovely teacher thank you teacher.
I should have learned it a long time ago because my parents put me in lessons, now I'm an adult and I'm committed to learning piano until I master it.
I subscribed! I want to learn because I have always wanted to but never had time or the ability to focus. Now I am older more relaxed and got anew piano!
Very good explanation mam
Hey, I’m same age and started piano class😁 since August… Class ended Dec 12, so now I’m getting ideas from youtube…
Am much enlightened now
I learned a long time ago the basics now I would like to learn how to play
I have always felt that there is a music inside me , which wants to come out. To be honest, I did try playing guitar and violin for sometime , but I couldn't, somehow, I couldn't connect. 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 always wanted to learn piano, every time I saw a piano in the hospital sitting there, I wish I could just sit there and play like a professional, but never know how, when I saw your website I was so happy even that I try to catch up with you still unable to, in my next visit your website again I will absorb small step atatime.
I play a lot of guitar and bass, but just sorta noodle on the piano/organ. I want to be able to express the ideas I have on the piano. Or to play things that I hear and want to emulate
I’m 66 and have always wanted to play the piano. We have an old baby grand piano but I’ve never felt comfortable learning it since it’s in a living room and would disturb my wife and dogs if I practiced.
I just acquired a high end keyboard that was seldom used and have placed it in a spare bedroom. After watching many videos, I purchased a bench and head set so that I don’t disturb anyone. I want learn to play by ear but due want to learn to read music. I found your videos to be easy to understand and I’ll be using your piano planner. You have an excellent teaching method. Thank you for the inspiration.
Glad it’s helping and good luck on your journey! 🎹
I love music that's why I wanna learn it and I love keyboard too.
Madam it was very inspiring abd simple guidance for better encouragement. I shl follow this.
I'm impressed that you packed so much content into one easy-to-follow introductory lesson! I'm going to have to practice those inversions, but I think I can learn this song today and (maybe) master it this week!
You can do it, Jonathan!
Learning to play for a girl surprise. My Grandfather was an excellent pianist also, back in Illinois @ church and most of my Bros and sisters play. Lessons when I was 12 or so but had to quit and never went back.
D minor c major b flat major
I am sorry have for your music lessons. I am very much interested in playing praise and worship songs. Thanks for your lessons
My doctor said that i must learn to play piano/keyboard for my epilepsy
I wanna learn piano because i want to teach my future kids and i can see myself when i get old piano is the only thing i can do😊
👍 Great
Started playing about 3 weeks ago and I had no clue my posture was so bad until I started lol was a great wake up call for sure
Playing piano will for sure make you aware about posture! :P
i started out wanting to learn to sing when i discovered my lack of timing and other things i thought if i understand music better than i could sing better than i found music theory wich led me to piano so this all about supporting the singing
One of my childhood dream to play
It has been my dream
Hi.Iam 67 retired and need another outlet so i dont wither away..I already play amatuer guitar but always wanted to play the piano.Im going to give it ago with these lessons.Thankyou
I am 80 and three months ago bought my first keyboard so that I can learn to play. So, so difficult and it looks so easy. So I’m trying to find a way to be able to pick it up without having to learn the inevitable “Three blind mice”, etc. I’m hoping that this might just be the way forward.
I kid you not -- immediately before I watched this video, I watched another RUclipsr's "Piano for Beginners" video...and she used "Mary Had a Little Lamb" as one of the exercises! (And didn't even teach the correct melody!) 😂
Your entire video is great, but the BEST part is the "Mary Had a Little Lamb" cracks! Your channel is awesome! You got another subscriber!
I like thar song! I just wish l had a piano and you, to initiate me!
I love your way of tutorial
Can you make a tutorial on
Million years ago by Adele ❤❤❤
I’m excited to start with these lessons. Any recommendations on a proper beginner keyboard? I’m a terrible wishy washy shopper.
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.
I was lonely and needed something to do with my time. My husband has a keyboard. He never really play it. He work 12 hrs a day 5 days a week . We moved from Ca. to a new town PA. and I have nothing to do and really no friends here. Winter is coming so piano became my go to.
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.
I am a guitar player but I would like to learn piano. A few years ago I purchased a piano, signed up for lessons and failed miserably. I have learned more by watching a couple of your videos than I have going the traditional way. Thank you.
I think there’s a slight error. At 10:14 you play D minor chord and call it D flat.? Am I wrong?
Neat move to skip the theoretical jargon and single notes, and move straight to chords and simple formulas to build them! As a string player wanting to get to grips with the keyboard, learning the note positions as two groups (based on the pairs and trios of black notes), rather than individual notes, is so very helpful to me.
One minor quibble, though - you said that one had to be seated the correct height and distance from the keyboard, but jumped straight from explaining distance to hand shape, and if you specified what would be the correct height in relation to the keyboard I missed it.
A very useful and encouraging video. Thanks.
Yep. I forgot to mention this. You’ll want your elbows to line up with the keys. 👍
