These pieces are perfect for beginners who want to start exploring the world of classical music or for experienced players who want to brush up on their Chopin repertoire.

I have always heard the saying "those who can't do, teach"......you break the rules!! You DEFINITELY can do AND teach!!! You have helped me soo much....I cannot walk past my piano without sitting down for a practice session. ..so much fun!!!
Thanks so much for being here and learning with us 🙏 lots more to come i promise
Don’t think that rule ever applies to piano instructors though.
I have to thank Pianote and Lisa for your wonderful and engaging teaching style... I've learned Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata thanks to your lessons, and these three Chopin pieces are next. The emotions that are stirred by listening to these beautiful pieces is one thing... the emotions stirred by playing these pieces is next level... I keep coming back to pianote for my lessons because Lisa really is such a wonderful teacher... I'm sure every student here feels like she is speaking solely to them... Thank You so much from one very happy older (58) piano student
Prelude in E minor! I absolutely love Chopin! Thank you for sharing this lesson❤
All three are simply beautiful. Thanks for simplifying them. They will provide hours of enjoyment.
"Chopin was a Copernicus of piano"
What does Copernicus mean? Pls?
@@ruperthay8439 Nicolaus Copernicus
Copernicus got the model of the Solar system wrong
@@SuperFatafatihahahaha
This is one ☝️ f my most favorite pieces . You are a gentle , enthusiastic and technologically strong teacher . I ordered your book and can’t wait to receive it. Thank you .
Just a moment ago I thought:
What if Pianote made a Video on Chopin?
And suddenly this gem appears!
TELEPATHY!!!😂
I can't believe this magnificent content is free😍
Please make a series out this where you present easy pieces from other composers.
We really do try to make some really cool stuff available for free to get people excited about playing piano again. The free trial is worth checking out one day if you wanna see what more we have to offer as well! ;)
You are so animated and make learning SO MUCH FUN! THANK YOU! My favorite is the Waltz in A minor!
Timeless!.. simply magic.. thank you 👍🎹🇳🇿
Whoa! I've been searching a lot lately for someone to explain these amazing Chopin pieces to me, specially op9 no2, Thanks pianote for this amazing tutorial!!!
You got it 👍
Wow! What a Beautiful sound. You are an Amazing Lady, for sharing this beautiful music. Thank you Lisa. DB
Thanks again Lisa for another wonderful Tutorial! Your enthusiasm is infectious! thank you so much!
Love your teaching style! You’ve taught me so much Lisa , I’m forever grateful. Many blessings from Miami.
I'm a Pianote member. Finding these RUclips videos just adds to the fun. Thanks.
I will allow it!
Superthanks! I love Chopin's nocturne op. 9 no. 2, it's the reason why I want to learn how to play the 🎹
Great video! I love Chopin's music, but it's difficult to play, so thanks for making simplified versions of some. Prelude in E minor was actually the first song I taught myself after having bought a second hand Casio Celviano AP-450 digital piano a few years ago. I play acoustic guitar, but I've never learnt the piano. I heard the Prelude in a Remington Steele episode (Laura plays it on a grand piano Remington has bought for her) and wanted to play it. So I got notes and looked up tutorial videos on how to play it. In about a month with daily practice (about 15-30 minutes each day) I started to get the hang of it. Now I play it fluently (if perhaps not beautifully ;) ) So I think it is possible for beginners to learn the more complicated version with three fingers on the right hand, especially if one has practiced this simplified version. They are all very beautiful in my opinion, and I really appreciate all your videos which has taught me a lot :)
Love you Lisa
Hi Lisa and team 🙂 Thank you so much for the sheet music and tutorial. I play it with a smile on my face.
Amazing lessons, truly amazing.
Woww. Nice teaching. My Snowball the Hamster loves this melody. Stands still while listening it.❤
That is the best news i have heard all day
This is absolutly awesome and professional. I'm so grateful with you!!
Thank you so much! I was looking for playable Chopin...Awesome!
I’ve tried a number of different videos and methods online and Lisa’s style and methods have by far been there most helpful/motivating for me personally. I hadn’t played piano for 25 years because I was never very good and didn’t enjoy it before. Now I look forward to playing everyday and progressing my playing. Thank you!
Preciosos temas y excelente explicación, siempre con esa simpatía. Da gusto ver éstos vídeos.
Enhorabuena.
Thank you very much. ❤❤❤
Finally! A video on Chopin
we had to keep everyone waiting because its the best one!
I ve been stop playing piano,,until i found this link,,,thank you,,,i can play fur elise and canon in D☺☺☺
Thanks for the great video. Would love more lessons on Chopin, especially Nocturne in C sharp minor.
Wow !! So Amazing have today's playing piano with Lisa Witt I loved you 💓😘. 🎹
Thank you for this video! You look stunning 😍
These are great, fantastic work...
Good teaching, thank you.
Great video and a lovely selection 😊
Thanks for being here for its premiere!
Thank you for breaking this done. Now I can try playing it ❤
Super ❤ Love It, Thank's 🎶
Muchas gracias .
Excelente su pedagogía. Una obra musical tan compleja, nos muestra Ud. a nosotros los novatos también querer tocarla. Gracias.
Such beautiful pieces! I'm already done with the waltz in A minor, and I'm currently learning the waltz in A flat (the Farewell Waltz) and I'm very excited. The Nocturne in Eb is my next milestone.
I started playing piano about 18 months ago. Nocturne in Eb was a goal of mine. I learned an easy version but it eventually was not satisfying to me. I decided to learn the original version. It took me 2-3 months but I can now play it. I play it EVERYDAY and try to make it more expressive now that I know the mechanics of the piece. I really recommend learning the original because if you’re like me, you will love playing it everyday till forever. Every thing worthwhile takes a lot of time and dedication. 😊
I always appreciate ur videos, u make everything so easy!!
very happy to help :)
Thank you!!!❤
All of them I loved to play and hear iit all over again.
I love your energy❤
You're such a wonderful human being ❤
THANK YOU FOR SHARING, THAT IS FIRST CHOPIN I LEARNED FROM MY PIANO TEACHER DIANE PERRY 45 YEARS AGO WHEN I LIVED IN WASHINGTON STATE. SHE IS GONE, BUT EVERY TIME I PLAY THAT SONG I MISSED HER. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Wow, simplified Chopin, that is exactly what I have been looking for in the last couple of days and it has materialised on Pianote channel.. Thank you for listening to my thoughts 🙂
my favorites Like watching the fingerings, the R hand I notice she used only her fingers not the thumb. Fingering and moving to the correct position has-been my headach. Thank you for clear instruction. Lisa - your looking more beautiful every year.
Superb composition and melodious 👏👏👌
He is truly one of the greatest of all time ❤️
Well-done Lisa.
Hi Lisa, you are a great teacher, can you make a video on advance checklist like you made for intermediate checklist so that people can know are they an advanced player or not😊
Amazing 😮
You are the best ❤
Thank you
Hi, love these Simplified version ! Would you guys mind showing in the future how to use the pedal on the nocturne ? As a beginner this version is perfect for me but I struggle a bit with the pedal to make it perfect , would also be good content I guess because I can easily see a lot of people in my situation
I'm struggling with the same issue
I saw this headline and it immediately caught my interest. Then I noticed these are all arrangements. One can find beginner arrangements for most (not all) pieces. Something that’ll really help beginners is learning the keyboard and accomplished note reading so one can play without looking at the keyboard.
You a good Piano player. Thank,s for you leccion,s
Thank you for your video, i like chopin so much and you are so funny I like how you learn . You are Great, please make more videos
Loved them all, but. I loved Prelude in E minor just a little more. (Maybe because I have played the other 2) I can picture myself walking down a sidewalk in London on a rainy and foggy evening just strolling along with that music in my head. (To much time on my hands.)lol
I just have to get better at sight reading. Memorizing all these chords and finger patterns is going to be a monumental task.
Very very good
He's from Poland and I feel so lucky cause I'm also from Poland
Thank you for this video. Chopin made easy(ier)! Q: The original score for Prelude doesn’t include use of the pedal except in a few spots, but I can’t seem to get the flowing sounds out of the base notes. Is it okay to use the pedal, or not ok?
The left hand is beautiful all on its own
Fantastic video, i have a slightly un related question though, in every video i see those grey shelves in the back ground though i cant find them anywhere, i was just wondering where you got them or if theres a link to them or anything, if any one else in the comments has any ideas id love to hear it
you save my life :)
Okay now i want teacher like you 😂🎉
I think i found good chopin lesson
i think you have a simplified version of the prelude in E flat on the left hand, or do i have a expanded version?
Great. Please do Peaches from Mario Bros Tutorial .
Thank you for doing this. I thought I would have never be able to play them.😭
Can you please please please do a tutorial on Chopin’s Barcarolle in f sharp major? If it’s one song I want to learn to play this is it, yet I cannot find a decent tutorial to it. Thank you so much!
Please do titanic tutorial 😍
very nice, the editor could have done a 𝄽 too after the 2nd ;)
THREE MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope that you'll be teaching us etude 25 no. 1 in Ab major.
Please Please teach the whole waltz in A minor piece.
🤩🥰🎶
After the tutorial of the easy version Chopin - Prelude in E minor, would you like to make with the thesis version or the original? Best regards!
Love Chopin ❤️ not the easiest music to play on your piano.
we tried to make it a little more accessible at least :)
This is definitely a challenge for me but what a great video!!
Thank you Lisa, I’ve been feeling a bit unmotivated, when I sit on the piano nothing seems to flow. Maybe with this lesson I can start anew and try some Chopin to stir things up! Wish me luck.
Hello. Hope you did succeed. How has your piano progress been so far?
Love it but can you make a video foe succession them song please

It would be nice if you discussed the pedaling. But loved this as usual.
Thank you so much for classical pieces simplified lesson~ save me from struggling with the piano sheets 🤣
I've booked my first concert at Carnegie Hall, but I don't know how to get there.
Anyone know the way?
I have loved watching and learning! You are a wonderful teacher! Can you do some more Christmas song tutorials? (E.g. angels we have heard on high, God rest ye merry gentlemen, o come o come Emmanuel)

This is nice, but simple versions aren't challenging enough. I play the advanced versions of his songs, and I'm self-taught.
Congrats on your progress! I can only wish to be able to say the same one day. At my stage of learning I really appreciate such simple versions.
