    For me when you play [root, 5th] in your left, and [3rd octaves] in your right... That sent chills down my spine and raised the hair on the back of my neck.

    Your tips are so useful and so doable, esp. for someone who just has a couple of years of getting to know my keyboard (at the age of 59!). I look forward to integrating this when I put chords to my songs. Cheers from Toronto!

  • @daimonglaskox993

    I haven't gotten to improvising yet in my learning experience but I felt like I could certainly do so using this different voicing method. You, mam, are a wonderful teacher.

    For many, this sort of exploration is often most easily done using some DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software (or you can do it manually using notation on paper). Seeing how the notes 'line up' horizontally (that is, with increasing time) gives a good indication of voice leading and you can experiment with different inversions of the chords, as some inversions will sound muddy/indistinct. For some folks, making the mental association of the visual shape with the nature of the sound can help in learning 'what sounds good'.

    Very good piano 🎹 teacher. Starting to see playing worship music 🎶 at age 53 on keyboards is easier than I realized. I had this instruction when I was younger, I would’ve been well on my way to playing in church. Your warm down to earth approach and instruction is helping to build confidence for the future. Thank you so much. Bless you. Love your bubbly personality 😊

    I sometimes do for fun even simpler thing, just play a note and a third octave above, such as C3 and E4, keep that interval and move up or down and sometimes alter that interval a little for a simple melody.

    i look forward
    to these videos every week. I have never had piano explained more simply than you explain it here. I’ ve always been bored with other piano and music theory lessons found elsewhere on youtube and the internet, and found them very long winded . You guys just make music theory fun and relaxed and easy to u sees tans. it just makes total sense to me. thanks you. Also, can you do a video explaining how to build a chord progression off of a melody? And another idea for a video would be to quickly show the song writing from process two ways. starting with a melody, and starting with a chords? keep it up ! you are awesome!

    • @PianoteOfficial

      It definitely takes practice and time. It really helps to learn the different key signatures, so you know which notes are in the chords. But it all comes with time. I'm sure you'll get there! And even though they are irregular, they do repeat!
