    I just wanted to say how much i appreciate your channel and especially (!) the beginner lessons with Lisa.
    I am 41 years old and just starting to learn, so i browsed dozens of lessons on youtube, but it never "clicked" - until i stumbled upon Lisa.
    I think she is hands down the best and most inspiring online teacher there is. Period.
    The choice of material and how she presents it makes it fun to play and keep practising, and in the end that´s most important if you want to improve, isn´t it?
    So a big thank you from me and keep up the great work!

    I love how you put so much effort into your videos and how you understand how difficult it is to learn piano. You make piano the most fun it could ever be. You make everything very clear. You are very confident, you don't pretend that you're perfect at the piano making it look easy. Then, we go and try it and fail and get upset. I'm very glad that everything is either really cheap or free. You are amazing at teaching and you seem super nice, understanding, and smart. I'm glad I found your channel.

    Lisa, I've been in many bands as a guitarist and music situation since the age of 15. I am coming to my 62nd birthday in May and have only started piano in 2010. Out of all the piano teachers I've had since as well as one on one, I've got to say that you are the best. I've gotten stuck with the octave playing on the left hand and in fact become really boring but you have opened it up to challenge myself and the way you teach I could not even start to begin to say "THANK YOU".

  • @JoeyIndolos
    @JoeyIndolos 3 года назад +71

    Many of you already know this, but since this channel caters to beginners, some of you might be confused as to why the second piece is attributed to Petzold in the description, when you’ve known for the longest time that it’s by Bach. The latter was due to its coming to prominence in a collection of pieces gifted by Bach to his second wife, Anna Magdalena. It also included pieces credited to other composers, but some, including this, had no credits. It wasn’t listed outright as Bach’s either, but that became the established conclusion. But more recent research on Petzold’s work have lead many scholars to believe it’s his. But it’s still more well known as Bach’s. In fact, the sheet music for it that’s linked to here has a Bach byline. Lisa also mentions Bach in her introduction, and this isn’t the only video I’ve seen where Petzold is in the description, but the speaker mentions Bach. Regardless of the provenance, it’s a beautifully simple piece that’s great for beginners. It was also one of the very first pieces I learned when I studied classical guitar.

  • @benthepen3336
    @benthepen3336 3 года назад +383

    For all the beginners, if you are speaking to a classical musician about a "song" then say "piece". Nowadays since the most common form of music is pop with words a lot of people use song for any music but in reality in classical music, a song means something very specific so as a general rule if theres no words just say piece. Technically music for choirs can be called pieces too so if you're in doubt use the word piece! I hope this helped some beginners because saying song is quite sensitive to us classical musicians because of respect to the composers of the past:))
