Ive played piano for over 40 years. I happened upon this video and I must say that your entire manner of explaining is excellent. Pleasure to see this. I will be back.
So many people already said what i think of these tutorials: wanting to pratice it right after, feeling you might be able to do it even you don’t have 10 years of piano lessons, decomposition of a score made so simple that you understand the different parts, and finally her beautifull gorgeous voice. My favorite tutorials!
I started playing piano when I was really young and then quit when I was about 10. This piano tutorial really helped me one of the best I’ve ever seen. I really regret quiting piano but your tutorials have helped me learn again❤️ only had to watch one video to subscribe
Me too. My parents always had a Piano in the house and I was self taught until I took real lessons in my 20s. Having kids and starting family after I moved away from my parents home I never played much again, now I'm wonting to get my young son into Music to help him with his Autism and to show him that sounds can be fun as he doesn't like noise at all.
Seriously! You have the most amazing channel and your generous instructions are so much fun to follow. Thank you for this. I’m fortunate to have found you!
You can do it for sure man! The first song I EVER learnt on the piano was "Your Song" and if I can do that, you can definitely do this! Just put your mind into it! Good luck, enjoy!
You make it look so easy, but it is a game changer for me to use lead sheets and learn these chords. They are already starting to resonate and become easier to play after only a few months of studying the scales and their chords. Thanks for including the lead sheets for this music. You can't know how nice it is to find it as you have shown it without any expectation. I love this song and you really bring it to life and show me how I can too. You really explain how to use the chords very well. I love that I can play it the way I hear it, and I don't have to try to find a score that is written as Elton John recorded it. My ear can hear the differences and I love to have the original, and now I can recreate it myself. That is as good as it can get. thanks so much. I have plans to buy all your books in the fall. And I can't wait.
You're an amazing instructor. I love your positive, upbeat, and easy-to-follow tutorials. I learned "Imagine" by John Lennon because of you! I'm a total beginner, but I'm making great progress, thanks to Pianote!
Unreal. I come from guitar but I’ve always wanted a piano because I just adore it. I have zero experience really except for playing on keyboards as a kid. I taught myself the intro to bohemian rhapsody and the first portion of this song. I’m absolutely ecstatic. Thank you so much!
thank you so much for making a childhood dream come true. . As a result of a money shortage my family could not pay for my lessons and definately not afford and form of a piano. Did so many piano and keyboard types exsist in the SEVENTIES. Now i am disabled and i thank Pianote for this possibility. It was Richard Claydeman that motivated me, the dream started when i heard a student playing Ballad for Adelein. Got my adjustable Piano Chair yesterday. I can really recommend one for height and comfort. Thk U Pianote
I don't have my keyboard yet, so i'm just watching a whole bunch of your videos while I wait. It makes me regret taking my music class for granted and never really paying attention to how to read music seeing as I only recently got interested in this. Now I've completely forgotten even just the basics like eighth notes, half notes, rests, etc. I definitely won't be able to play this song for a while as I need to completely start over but I'll definitely come back to it once I'm ready. : )
Awesome tutorial! I have been playing piano for almost 3 months now and you made it so simple to help me learn how to play one of my favorite songs, Thanks!
Thank You Lisa I am so happy I have found you, I have grown so tired of old crabby music teachers who think the piano and music is a alter where you sacrifice yourself too the gods, rather than find expression and joy ! !! You are a great teacher.... Jim
my god you make me cry how beatiful and talented you are. You really touch people and make a huge difference more than you know, God bless you thank you so much. love you -Jason
Wow! I've been watching various piano tutorials over the last year (I'm a new player/learner), and this is one of the most comprehensive and naturalistic ways of presenting, teaching, and having fun in a lesson! I don't read sheet music, but having it up the whole time is massively helpful for pace and lyrical connection - Thank you!
I'm going to try this because your video is so user-friendly. I've been playing guitar 40 years and have recently picked up keyboards and I really appreciate Elton's work. Thank you for publishing this lesson. I'm sure I will be able to play this soon because of your competent teaching style.
You are an amazing teacher!! You play and teach just like me, thank you. Finally someone gets how to teach piano in the most simplest and fun way!!!! Now I don’t have to spend hours decoding the notation from Hal Leonard. Many blessings to you.
Although my skill level is not here yet, I am grateful to be able to say that I understood all the chord AND note structure laid out in this tutorial. Thank you for such a great channel to learn from ❤️
I recently found your channel and am greatly enjoying it. I started on piano at age 6 and then after around 3 years became fascinated with other instruments (saxophone, guitar, bass). After watching several of your videos, I am going to pick up a digital piano and get back into it. I am excited to see how this journey progresses. Thank you for inspiring me......
Just found you been playing by ear on a baby grand since I was 7 (56 now) just bought a Korg Kronos and Korg 88 Nautilus............ Subbed thanks for this
Thankyou so much for posting this wonderfully clear demonstration of how to play this tune. This video has THE best explanation of the intro bar none I have seen on RUclips! Thankyou. I have subscribed. Just marvellous!
Fantastic tutorial, I had surgery which impaired the dexterity of my left hand. Improved, but never fully returned (I don't have the discipline to constantly practice scales prefer just to get stuck into a song.) Thank you fantastic tutorial. Such a lovely singer too. Delighted to have found your channel. 💕
You’re awesome! I’ve been playing guitar(self taught) for a long long time and I’ve recently picked up piano. Bought a house that came with a stand up, figured maybe that’s a sign. It’ll be a little bit of a challenge, but that’s the fun in it! Looking forward to learning many more songs on the keys… thanks to you. Great channel! 🤟🏼
You are so good at teaching, I was able to play this after a few minutes and I am truly grateful. I have subscribed so I can get more of your excellent videos. Thanks again 👍
I used to try to play accompaniment to this song exactly like the record - until I learned it's well known that Elton never plays any song exactly the same way twice. He kind of freely improvises based around the original chord shapes. Feels so much more natural and easier.
I played for two years and have been taking a break for one year (regretfully so) I am trying to get back into my groove after obsessing over Elton John more and more each month. When Rocketman came out that was it for me I had to go back to playing.
Thanks a lot ... there always were a few question marks, when I was trying to perform that songs ... they changed now into callsign! Looking forward to my net gig, where I can play it

Thank you so much!
That’s wonderful. Fantastic video. It’s above my skill level (2 months playing) but I’ll be having a go at this later. Thanks again.
Hey Adam! Try JUST the intro - go really slow .... watch, repeat. Could be a fun challenge for you!!
You can do it for sure man! The first song I EVER learnt on the piano was "Your Song" and if I can do that, you can definitely do this! Just put your mind into it! Good luck, enjoy!
Now is the time to give it a try this is your reminder
Don’t worry I’m 13 years old I learn piano since 3 months and now I can play Turkish March by Mozart.

Brilliant tutorials. Only started playing a month ago when my friend gave me her late husband’s piano. Brings us all so much joy. Thank you so much 😃
What a special gift from a friend!! Music brings so much joy to others. I hope you enjoy your journey learning to play piano!
