My Brain: this looks easy
My piano: sounds like dying parrot
lol
so true xD
LOL!
You sound better than me😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Try stand up comedy
"This is surprisingly difficult to do while talking."
Couldn't agree more.
"This is suprisingly difficult" Period xD
I feel like the last exercise created a brand new connection in my brain
i can relate to you xd
It's not just 2 hand independence, it's actually 10 finger independence!
And reading the sheet... That's 11

Really challenging
and pedaling
I'm 13 and I've been playing for 2 months now and I just practice and practice everyday and I didn't notice that I improved a lot. This channel really helped me😁👍💖
Heeeeeyyy I'm 13 and practising for 2 months too! And I agree, this channel helps a lot :D
Reminds me of when I was 13.
You know what I do? When I get to a certain page in some book I just stop and go back to the beginning and do a quick but careful review to see if there's any difference, and I can always play the stuff a lot more easily! I found that in life I need to do something about three times - in anything, school, whatever - to really get it. But three separate times, like with time in between. I'd say keep track of whatever you are doing and periodically go back to whatever you were doing a month ago and see if it's any easier, it probably is!! Good luck!!
@@watermelonely3970 u go guys! i had piano lessons at around that age too and quit around less than a year, im now 19 and relearning everything on my own hahaha. don't give up and keep on playing!
I’m 11 and I use to play when I was little but I stopped so I’m trying hard to find my passion again
Lisa is such a clear and helpful and knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher, a helpful instructress!!!!!!💗!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU
I agree
@@kunalfuria9768 You, Kunal..... understand the Spirit of Music!!!!!
I can't tell you how badly I have needed this. I am a beginner and my instructor keeps telling me that hand independence will come. Now I finally have something to work with. Thank you
Did those exercises help you somehow?
I just started 4 days ago and I already noticed that I need this. It's not something natural for your brain. My left hand keep wanting to follow my right hand and it's soooo frustrating. I'm going crazy
@@avpbriglia ikr it's annoying and then you look at people covering a song and play flawlessly
@@rashmipai9523 this is so relatable
MY HANDS KEEP DOING THE SAME MOVEMENT
I am an 80 year old started to learn piano at 74. You have made learning so wonderfully interesting. I love trying new skills that you introduced and felt the benefit every instance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. xx
Thank you for posting. I’m 53 and JUST started!
@@cheslrahaha range of ages here I’m 16 , good luck ❤❤
my hand independence is zero and it is driving me insane, but i have just watched this and after playing for an hour i seem to have mastered the first and second part of this tutorial. I am so pleased because i thought i would never get it in a million years. I know this is so simple to those who are more advanced but to me this is a huge achievement believe me and i am bouncing off the walls right now with excitement. Thank you for making this tutorial so straight forward for me and i am going to practise this hand exervcise over and over until it is fixed into my brain and i don't have to concentrate so much on what i am doing with both of my hands.
Only started to play again this week after giving up 40 years ago. My left hand just slapped me in the face to remind me why I gave up. Now at 62 I hope to have more patience.
???
good luck!
You got this man!💪
Your left hand is still 22 years old.
I hit a plateau 15 years ago because of hand independence issues. I started all over in my training and figured out my teacher advanced me too fast and had not developed independence. Practice slower, sightread slower. Really focus on sightreading that has helped me a lot. And practice, practice, practice.
Not even going to lie, I’m 30 years old and this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. This was very difficult for me and I was starting to get really frustrated and doubting my ability to learn piano, but I eventually got it 😁
How?? This is something that I am struggling with
@@toyalee6841 Slow it all the way down. Go slow. VERY slow. Trust me, it will work.
Any recommendations of vids. I usually do piano tutorial but sometimes the songs are too fast for me.
@@toyalee6841 Have you tried the exercises in this video right here that we're on? I'd recommend starting with exercise one and do it very slowly. Like extremely slow. Put like 4 or even 5 seconds between each beat. It might seem silly and very slow, but you need to train your hands. Gradually pick up the speed and you will be surprised. In no time you will be doing them very fast.
@@Nick-kb2jc Thank you. I will do that
Hello Lisa, I’m 71 year old man, all my life I dream of learning playing piano, unfortunately never had a time, first family then kids. Finally I retired and my wife bought piano for me and I started learning piano 6 months ago but the biggest problem was hand coordination.
I’ve look in many RUclips lessons but still have a great straggle with two hands coordination
Scrolling through website trying to find a lesson on hand coordination and finally stumble
In to your website and I tell you beside being a beautiful young women you’re the best music teacher
that I found, within a week my hand start to listens to me and I’m doing better as days going along.
Thank you very, very much and God bless you.
this woman is an ANGEL FROM HEAVEN
1) I really appreciate you leaving in the mistakes. I'm a very self conscious person so seeing others make mistakes when they've been playing for years really helps me to not feel so bad making beginner mistakes.
2) I love that your exercises are musical and not just a series of empty notes playing one after the other. It makes me feel like I'm actually playing something and not just pressing keys.
Thanks for these videos they really do help.
I agree!😊
I love how optimistic Lisa is! Just when I watch an exercise and think "I'll never get this" she seems to read my mind every time, pause, and say "I promise you'll get this!" 😂 this is where I get my self-confidence from! Thanks a ton ❤
Great tips Pianote! I think at any stage of playing we can do with better independence of our hands (I find my right more developed than left, like most right-handed people). Another good exercise (maybe suitable as the next slightly more advanced), is for INDEPENDENCE IN ARTICULATION - play a scale up and down with both hands, but ONE HAND LEGATO, ONE HAND STACCATO, then as you go up again, switch (without stopping) so the legato hand plays staccato now, and the staccato now plays legato.
That is a supe smart exercise to practice!
I think Pianote has given this tip in one of their videos about hand exercises but I can't remember which one.
And you are right, it is a really good exercise ! Helps practice another type of hand independence.
As a beginner, who still struggles with hand independence, I wouldn't say it's more advanced but a different type of exercise (still difficult though ^^).
65 year old beginner here - just what I need! Still learning to do the C major scale with both hands after starting about 3 weeks ago. I can do each hand independently without mistakes, and NEARLY without mistakes using both hands. It does help to hear that even you have your momentary struggles playing certain things with both hands.
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR LEARNER FRIENDLY VIDEOS. 👍👍👍
My hands doesn't listen after i do all this exercises. Because they are D.E.A.F
Lisa: 1:19 "Let's pick a note. I'm gonna pick G."
Me: whoa, whoa, whoa... I thought we said beginners!
exactly.... She G noted us
@@itstonnix7348 I don’t understand... what’s so special about the G note? Sorry if I missed a joke
@@milesgilbertpiano just sarcasm lol
😂😂😭 damn I thought that too!
@@milesgilbertpiano it's just that your typical "beginner note" is C. There nothing particularly scary about G, I was just exaggerating a bit for laughs.
lady you literally saved my life. please keep uploading videos.
I’ve only been playing the piano for 3 months and I’m 48 years old. My polish grandfather used to play the piano and accordion, I would sit and watch him in amazement 😊 I have been struggling a little with hand independence and so I tried these exercises. You are by far my favourite piano teacher on RUclips ❤️❤️❤️ these exercises are really helpful and I love the fact you explain everything so clearly and slowly for us beginners. Thank you so much for all your hard work uploading these videos to help us play you are an absolute Angel 👼 god bless you.❤️❤️
Yours are the clearest tutorials on RUclips. I do get a lot of action from some other channels, and I can play their stuff at really fast rates - which make me feel very virtuoso. But, when it's you...I really feel like I'm learning something that's very important and that I get new abilities "mechanized" (I'm not sure if it's the right term in English, but it also applies to you) and I make so much progress, it's like a RUclips pianist's Pandora's Box. I think that you're able to share your knowledge very, very well. Thank you so much.
Lisa's the best teacher I've found on web. Her positive attitude and upbeat approach is great... and the lessons are just enough to be challenging..but still doable. Thanks for helping... and the encouragement 👍👍
When Lisa plays the piano everything seems to be esay but when you try to do the same, it's harder. Helpfull lesson as always. Thank you Pianote.
I've been playing for 6 months, 3 to 4 hrs a day and struggling with hand independence. I actually played Linus and lucy once correctly from your exercise and now it all comes to light. You are the best. Thank you, Lisa
I"m just getting to this video and I love it! I've been using your earlier hand independence video as practice and came up with a similar cadence with scales on my own based on that video. I can't wait to get to the techniques in this one! Thank you for all you are doing and happy holidays Lisa!
Whoa did I just play that?! lol It really helps if you start super slow and get every note right first try, THEN start to speed up. Great Video! I subscribed! :)
This is so great! I have only been properly learning via your channel (and a couple of others) a couple of months and practising exercise 2 when it suddenly came together and my fingers just behaved and listened to my brain, it was magical! You made the magic happen, I can't thank you enough. I'm over 60 now....
You are the piano teacher which I love the most. Thank you for your teaching.
You and your exercises both are the best!!
Had so much thrill to practice
I love how you think neccesary yet endless repetitions still sound beautiful! Keeps my spirit up for one!
This is so helpful! I am so happy to have found you. I am 40 and haven't played piano since I was a kid. I'll keep watching this lesson on a regular basis until I can play both parts of your Halelujia lesson at the same time!
You really make these exercises sound beautiful and it makes me want to learn more 🙂 Thank you!
I've tried simply piano, various RUclips channels and apps but hands down your lessons are the best, by a mile! Thank you so so much
Hey ma'am I'm a 14 year old girl and I've had a piano since I was 11 but I never really understood how to play it and recently in quarantine i've learnt a lot from you and I'm so grateful to you ❤️😊also ma'am I've a piano with 23keys.. Is it ok if i practice on that because it's just the start the model of my piano is CASIO SA-47 can you please tell me if it's ok to practice piano lessons on this piano it would be really helpful 😊
Of course! Practice anyway and everyway you can! 27 keys is better than none, and the right piano or keyboard will come to you if you are patient!
@@PianoteOfficial thank you so much 😊also this is the first time any channel pinned my comment 😄
@@p.v.joseph1594Really, I'm a brazilian 12 year old girl and I've had a keybord since I was a 6 but I don't have interest to play it, and recently in quarantine i learn I lot about keyboard with this channel. In this year I despert the interest to learn English and this channel help me a lot with that too.
@@laralucymendes3343 awesome!!! really happy that you love this channel cuz yeah i had no clue about keyboard before I started watching this channel😄
This whole thread is so sweet. If I had the means I would send you a piano. 💓
Hi Lisa! I love how you have the time to post, with the frequent uploads!
Just discovered your channel, Lisa - after 50+ years of collecting record albums, I figured it was about time I learned to play the piano. Your exercises have been very beneficial and inspirational - thanks so much!
Really helped me develop my hand independence and was surprised to see myself getting the hang of it easily once I put in enough practice. Thanks a lot for this amazing free content!
Thank you Lisa🌹. This vid puts up a smile on my face. You're a very good teacher. Bumping upon your first vid I subscribed immediately! Much love from Suriname🤗🌷⚘
Just started a week ago after decades of never touching a piano at all.
Quickly I found my hands weren't independent and then ran into your video.
First day, found your first and last exercises were really tough!
But, surprisingly the second was almost automatic.
This is just what I need... something to train my brain's two halves independently and approximating some kind of melody at the same time.
Thx!
I love the challenge of these exercises! The one causing me the most challenge right now is in one of your other videos - legato on the LH and staccato on the RH. My brain gets all confused! I play the flute and have fallen in love with the fun and challenge of the piano. Thank you!
Your such a good teacher!! Really enjoy your lessons. Played for many years and have taken many lessons and yours really teaches the fundamentals really easy. Thank you
I'm loving these exercises. After just one day of practice with these, I'm playing something that sounds genuinely musical. I've only been playing piano for a few weeks, but this is the first time I've felt like I'm making music. I'm thrilled. Thanks so much.
Amazing free Piano lessons, thanks Pianote & RUclips!!
Educator, guide , coach, teacher, skills development ... on and on. Thank you!
This is why I love piano. The challenges are endless. This exercise forwards and backwards in every key will challenge best. And this is just a few exercises. I will be playing piano for the rest of my life!
I’m struggling with this and then this video dropped. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Timing is everything! 🎵
Your lesson is thrilling.... I've been playing traditional piano for a decade now. But this is the lesson that wake me up
Your lessons are some of the BEST of RUclips, thanks!
Hi!! I love this video thank you it is really helpful I also focused n your other videos on hand independence I have been practising for a couple of weeks now with those videos and they are just amazingly good and impacting on my piano practice, thank you Lisa 😀😀✌️🤗🤗
And you're so joyful throughout, you remind me of my high school teacher who taught ,e to sing, anyway thanks Lisa
Thank you, Lisa! These 3 exercises are challenging, but not so much that it's discouraging. Thank you!
Your energy and positivity is so great and inviting me to learn more. Very fun teacher. Thanks for your effort in the video 😊
I just want to tell you that I am very pleased with your videos and the amount of effort that you put into them.
These sound so pretty! It makes me excited to do hand exercises, can't wait to try it!
You are the best Lisa! Thank you for your teaching nature, you are a natural.
I am watching some of your videos and enjoying them. I am 85 years young and have always loved piano music. 2 years ago I decided I was going to learn how to play. Im doing on-line which there are seemingly many good on-line piano teachers. I am enjoying every minute in spite of being very slow at learning. I especially like your teaching methods Lisa. Mastering hand coordination has definitely been a huge challenge. I have never expected to master the challenge at my age but have definitely enjoyed the journey so far. Thank you for being here for me.❤️
You are brilliant! I only discovered this channel last night and can already feel a difference :)
This was just the lesson I needed ... loved your style and your approach.
Great tutorial again, thanks Lisa! Will add this to my daily beginner's practice 😁
Never played piano before. Just bought an FP-10 this Christmas and I can't stop playing. Learnt to play Toccata in D minor and fur elise, both half way through on RUclips. At start my hands swelled a lot and had a lot of pain playing some of the cords. I just watched some of your video's and love them. Probably wouldn't have been so painful if I had found your daily routine warm up and hand independance practices in the beginning. Thank you! Big fan already!
Absolutely worth a million to me. THANKS.
You can't POSSIBLY be this nice in all your videos... except you can
thank you for all your videos...they make piano playing fun,musical and easier....you are the best🙂
It's rare that I write comment to anything but now I must thank you for your tutorial. With your help I have improved my skills faster I could ever imagined. These are very practical exercises for beginner like me and you have absolutely professional teaching skills. There's enough challenge to improve patience also but exercises are not too challenging. You know how to motivate and how to use your lovely personality as a tool in process. Thank you so much!
Your voice is so soothing..it gives me peace..n the teaching is amazing as always
Thank you for your superb explanations!!!!!
Most important thing about this video is i dont skip ads, thats my way of help. You creating videos for us. Thank you
I am starting and your lessons are great. Please continue delivering this quality of lessons, you are helping so much.
And keep up the good vibe too ..
It's a deal!
Proper helping me, thank you!
I have been looking for decent exercises to help with hand coordination and this has been brilliant!
Admittedly, I nearly threw my tablet our the window on just exercise 1!! But stuck with it and managed to do all of them quite comfortably. 👍
These are amazing exercises. I practiced this on my desk along with you (cos, I don't have a piano yet) and it sounded amazing 🙃
Thank you so much. You are the best ,funny, and helpful piano teacher !!! Regards from Barcelona, Spain.
I really like the way you make practicing fun and interesting and explain how it all works together as a whole.
It's also cool how you keep lessons challenging and give just enough to practice until the next lesson. And
my favorite is how you explain what emotions and barrier that will come up while practicing and how to work
through them. Once I get my hand independence better, I decided I going to become a member of Pianote!
Thanks for bringing me this far.
Very very glad to have you here :) We have a lot of new stuff on the way!
Hi Marc, I have joined pianote and if I may make a suggestion please do a lifetime membership as I found I am not making as fast a progression as it thought I may have and was planning on doing another 12 month contract BUT it is better in the long run to just do lifetime at the start. I am not affiliated with pianote at all, I am just like you and Lisa is enjoying crucifying my brain along with yours too lol. You are not alone trust me. P.S. Good luck and enjoy the emotions as you improve, which you will do.
Great tutorial here, thanks! I have been learning for almost 3 months now and went through all the courses with one of the apps but still find hand independence very difficult. These exercises are very good. I thought I had gotten them down until I tried to swap hands. Oh boy, my hands turned into cinderblocks. But, this is something to work towards now and, as you said, that means you're learning. Thanks again!
I don't usually comment but today I really wanna thank you, ma'am. I was struggling with hand independence since last 3 yrs and now I am able to believe in myself and practice it all because of you. I'm genuinely grateful to you ma'am. Thanking you! Love from India♥️
A wonderful challenge, thank you. Yr teaching is clear and easy to follow, makes it a pleasure for me as an adult learner. You make learning fun and inspire me to keep going and make my own music ! Stay safe and keep smiling : )
Thank you to show us this simple to exercises 😊♥️
Very helpful. Thank you very much. 🙏🌻🎉
These are awesome tips, and really help with improvising as well! I'll be adding these for sure to my practice routine.
🙏🙏🙏
Like the way you make what's seems impossible possible.
Its your passion ... awesome approach
i absolutely love this series.
These are great for just starting to work on hand independence. Thank you for your help.
Thanks for sharing your teachings I have found them very useful, I play other instruments but never tried the piano so your lessons are very helpful.
Very effective exercises for all beginners... again Thanks Miss Lisa... 👏👏👏
These hand independence excersise will bear more fruitful music for me in future thanx m just a beginner and I am loving it
Must be 20 years since I last touched a piano upon which I could never play properly just tinker. I now have a new Roland Go and have found the best teacher... Lisa.... you say you're never too old.... at 73 I'm going to try and make that statement come true!! Your enthusiasm can only drive me on. Amazing progress in only my first week. Enjoying the exercises very much. Thank you.
I was surprised at how fast your exercises work. I have a keyboard for 3 days and can now play with both hands! Thank you so much
Thank you! I really needed this
Thank you so much. This was very helpful
Thanks for making this video it helped me a ton
long time bassist here - solid music theory and *decent* ears, finally moving to piano. (and more) so happy to have sumbled upon this channel!
Me, too! I also took drum lessons for a year for fun and that helped me with piano a lot realizing that it's not strange to have different things going on at the same time.
@@scottmccampbell72 i Tried the Drums once and i was awful at it but i am gonna Stick with Piano
When you explained about exercises that you found difficult and swore you would never get, but then slept on it and had it that is how I felt when doing 2 against 3 or 3 against 2 scales. My brain just couldn't process it then I slept and the next time it just clicked and I could play it in B Maj (the key I chose to start with) and quickly progressed it to every key. Just sharing a personal experience showing the real world relatability. Excited to practice these exercises thank you for sharing them.
This was so awesome and helpful!! Thank you🤩🎹🎼
Great excercise! Thank you very much.
When something clicks. It's a feeling that you cannot compare. Love the videos and the way to run through things. Thanks for keeping it musical
Thank you very much for the lesson.
Just found your channel today. Thank you! I like the way you teach.
Wow this so informative 😉. My goodness it's so helpful for beginners struggling with two handed playing. Thanks a million👍
Oh my! The root-fifth pattern in my right is just difficult. The struggle is real. 😅 and As a beginner this is a huge help! Thank you for for this. ❤️
Your videos are really great,
i have learned so much and really great, please keep posting
