The music came before the movie: Christopher Nolan gave Hans Zimmer a letter and asked him to compose something inspired by it. Check out the full story and dive deeper into this lesson on our blog >> www.pianote.com/blog/interstellar-theme-tutorial/
Lisa what would be the Chords for Against All Odds please it's a beautiful heart wrenching song😢 that really hurts SPIRITUALLY.
What about what 'love got to do with it "Foreigner"
Partially true. The theme was not Cornfield Chase, it was 'Day One Dark'. There's a version of the very first version somewhere on RUclips if I remember correctly.
Please tell me where I can find the sheet music for this arrangement. I cannot find anywhere. You are such a wonderful teacher! Thank you!
@@AB-dy4gh i'm having the same issue pls share the sheet🥺
When I got the beginning parts I just cried. I’ve wanted to play and have loved film score music my entire life and never thought I’d get to a point of being able to play the songs I love so much. I’m 26 and never played the piano but I bought a piano back in June and the realization that I actually CAN learn this made me emotional. Thank you for your awesome lessons!!
I haven't played any instrument in my life but I'll give my all to learn this exceptional piece of art.
Congratulations!! It's a beautiful thing and I'm so glad you have been able to do this. Keep going and doing what makes you happy
This is the move. You're certainly a good person, good heart.
congrats! Keep going!
how did it go ? don't stop. You can
"You can't make an Interstellar tutorial that's easy to follow along with, it's not possible"
Lisa: No, it's necessary.
I have been playing piano for about 20 years and this has to be one of the best worded and presented tutorials/lessons I have ever seen! Concise, straight to the point yet in depth enough for people to learn correct technique! Awesome!!
It really helps when she NAMES the chords and or keynotes. When she covers the lessons at a slow pace and when the keynotes LIGHT up it is easy to follow along!! 🙏💐❤️💡💐
I started piano 2007, had to stop cold turkey when diagnosed with M.S. in 2008, i felt like the very thing i desired for myself was snatched away from my memory and fingers. I heard this song 2 weeks ago for the 1st time and something awoke within me with this song. Ive been on my keyboard determined to learn this song for myself. Im now 46, its been a rough 20yrs with this disease but im going to get it.
Thank you for making it much easier to learn.
i hope you are doing okay! sending lots of hugs. 🥰
❤❤❤

Love your teaching style. I learn so much. You make it look so easy.
Thank you!
Interstellar / Cornfield Chase from Hans Zimmer is my absolute favourite composition. Even broken down in lesson chunks it sounds sooo beautiful. The way Lisa is explaining it all, I’m very much a beginner and feel like I could actually learn this with time and practice. A couple of weeks back I had no idea what an arpeggio pattern was and thanks to Lisa, I incorporate arpeggio pattern in my daily practice and they sound so pretty!! 😍✨🎹✨
I took piano lessons for a few years when I was just a kid. Now at the age of 33 I am becoming interested in the piano again, and I have landed on your channel. Thank you. Because I discovered that I still have many things in my mind that I thought I had lost over time. I think I'll start from here, from this wonderful music, and from your lessons
Didn't seriously play something like a piano since schools music lessons. Just started with this lesson after breakfast and learned a considerable part already. She has such a nice way of teaching, so smooth and gently.
I have tried to master it for months and the cords are really hard, this is beautifually explained and helped alot, Thank you so much ♥️
The fact the he wrote it before the movie is insaaannee!!
I did not expect this tutorial to be so useful! You''re really gifted as a teacher, everything feels so easy when mixed with practice. Thank you very much! Stay healthy!
Love how passionate you are in teaching music and going step by step. Thanks a lot!
I left playing the piano for 6 long years and almost completely forgot how to play. Always loved Zimmer's this music score and wondered if I could ever play that. I've started playing again this year and just playing along with you felt so comfortable it was like I never stopped playing. Being able to play this music feels so beautiful and emotional at the same time. Thanks for this amazing video, this has been a GREAT help!
Thank you for doing what you do. I've restarted playing at 47 after not playing since I was a teenager. Being a big fan of instrumental music and science fiction this song was one of a few that that motivated me to want to learn again. Your style of teaching is amazingly easy to follow and I believe will help me a lot. I will become a subscriber soon.
I want to thank you for your amazing videos!!! They are always so helpful! :)
true
Just wow. What an amazing teacher and pianist you are.
That first F Major 7 in measure 13 always gets me. Such a beautiful chord.
It's amazing!☺
This tutorial gave me the confidence to try and learn how to play this amazing song, which I wasn't sure I was ever going to be able to play! You're amazing! Thank you
Don't do it, scam!
Thank you so much for this tutorial 😭😊💞 Interstellar is my all time favourite film & score. I just have a keyboard, I usually play by ear. But lately I've been struggling with depression so I haven't played it. I decided I should try to learn my favourite, the cornfield chase, to motivate me, but I don't have the energy to play by ear like I normally do- I just need someone to show me how so I can more quickly feel some joy from playing it. This is perfect! And you emit such joy as well, it makes me smile. Thank you.
Love your way of teaching, piano can seem so intimidating but you take that away ❤
This is so easy to learn. Thank you Lisa! Thank you Pianote! 🎹👍🏻😊💯
You are very very welcome! its one we've wanted to do for a very long time
Lisa. I think I told you this already. You're such a character. My personal number one tutor on RUclips. Video is stored for when I feel to play some piano again probably in autumn and winter. I really need to take some time again and try to improve my play. That song is so good too.
I was just thinking about this theme and how to play it and here it is😂. Go Lisa and Pianote. You guys are awesome 🔥
I think it's meant to be!
Was literally thinking about this song today and then you shared a tutorial. Been in a slump lately and this has made me want to sit down and play. Thanks!!!
It is fate! very glad to get you some inspiration :)
You are my favorite RUclips piano teacher BY FAR. Having a beautiful voice that is on-pitch is such a bonus - for us!
I love the power and energy
This is very helpful, especially the tips for relaxing the hands. The teaching style is clear and easy to understand. Thank you.
Am from Colombia. This the best video that I've been found. I'm learning English, piano and Pentagram in a only video. I'm very happy. Keep it up! Thanks!
Hola! Soy dora
¿Dora no vive en colombia verdad?
I love how enthusiastic you explain every part of the piece. You also are amazing at explaining things at a reasonable pace!! :)
I just love your teaching, Lisa. I can play this song after just a few sessions at the piano (though the last 20 bars were a bit tricky). What a beautiful song. Thank you!
Also an update, I can play the 1st movement of the moonlight sonata too thanks to your teaching! ♥️♥️
Hi there first of all thank you for allowing me at 62 years of age to play one of my favourite pieces of music of all time it just connects with me every time and btw I primarily play drop c guitar so bit of a metal head by nature but brought up around a piano but seriously I can’t put into words the enjoyment you have given me thanx again 👌
Fantastic piece of music, fantastic tutorial. This also helped me to read music better ! 😊🎹💯💫
Wow, that's the most amazing illustration for interstellar I have watched so far. Thanks a lot!
I dont know if the most gorgeous thing here is the song, the way you play it, your voice or the way you teach it, thanks for all the above (thanks Hans too) !
You looks so focused while playing the music it is so inspiring ✨✨
Thank you so much for this, picked up piano again for the first time in around 5 years and this tutorial was so simple to learn.. huge request for me would be Gladiator now we are free! Thanks heaps guys keep up the uploads!
Geez where were you when I was a kid! I play by ear primarily before I could even begin to learn a song by reading the music. My teachers used to get exasperated with me when I would ask them to play it over and over. Thank you!!
My favourite movie ost!!! Brings me back to the movie each and every time I hear this
i appreciate you SOOO much for teaching this and being so detailed with it as well❤️
You are the type of teacher I always needed 🥰
I love your teaching style. It's so encouraging.
Beautiful combination of both hands Miss Lisa, that's awesome, look forward to practice that progression..
This music is so beautifully. I always cry hearing it.
It's amazing how much music can just transport you to places. The beginning just makes me feel I'm just staring into the vast emptiness of space and I just feel so insignificant. I get a weird feeling in my chest each time
Thank you Lisa ✨ !!
Thank you Pianote ❤️
wow her teaching is so relaxing 😌
Absolutely love the Interstellar score. Will definitely work on this. Your lessons are great.😊
This is superb!!!!!! What a masterful teacher! Thank you so much!
love your energy
Not only is this tutorial more extensive on the members area, there is also an additional video by Cassi Falk going through the needed technique to practise the specific parts of this track. Very good for warm-up and technique training days.
I've been a member for about three weeks now. Did not think twice after two or three days to get the full year package. I do need to slow myself down a bit to give my wrists some rest between sessions and I'm recording my whole progress from day one. I do have a funny personal goal; In one year I'd like to play on a public piano somewhere (airport, trainstation) and be able to play at least 3 to 4 pieces from memory. (this track is def. on the short list to play!)
So; thank you! It took me about 2 years to start while having a keyboard staring at me every day, collecting dust , and now I can't stop!
What the video called?
I've been playing for 50 years now. This is a beautiful 😍 song. I love your "thumb hack" wayyyy cool. Keep it up. 💯
Excellent tutorial. Structured, clear, easy! There are a few other compositions that I prefer to this version but thanks to what you taught me I'm able to pick and choose what I like from those!
Like I can't believe that this all was for free..... People pay to learn and still do not get such a wonderful teacher as you . I am so grateful to you an god that I found this video with such a Talented teacher..... It just made my Dayyy🙏🙏
Was so eagerly waiting for this tutorial from you ♥️♥️ thank you
It took us a while but we think this one is just right
@@PianoteOfficial Bars 45 to 56 is the most beatiful part of the intestellar. Those arpeggios is what I was exactly looking for. Again Thank you so much LISA.♥♥
I want to learn this song now. Great job Lisa!
This video was so informative and professional while also being very entertaining. Thank you for being authentic and including all the little tips and tricks as you went. :)
The infotainer they call her!
😂
Your music is so beautiful. Thank you for teaching me interstellar rhythm 🩷
I love the way you count 123 melodically.
thanx for the video. you made it so interesting.
So much tug has this vibe, love it, such and array of emotions as it builds, some folks performing it in the big church organs is amazing
You're like my favourite teacher. My other teachers are cool too! But your kind and warm welcoming approach to teaching is so thanked!
Thanks Lisa, you made it so simple that even a beginner can play with a little practice...it was a meditative experience for me while I was playing this following your instructions...
i thank you so much for this incredible explanation! it really does help me understand this piece of art and the piano itself 💗💗💗
Amazing tutorial, and such a beautiful song, thank you 😊
Hoping for piano sheet in description soon if possible 😉
Same here 😂
Same here
What a great tutorial! Thank you so much!! I don't play piano but accordion, it took a bit time to "translate" this to accordion but it has a very beautiful result, even with the stradella bass system.
I’ve learned this now. And this video was just amazing for teaching this complicated yet beautiful piece.
Thank you for helping me achieve something I thought I’d never accomplish. ❤❤
i like how excited you are for the piece, definitely helped me stick with the piece to the end, thank you very much!
Amazing as always ❤️
Thanks for watching!
10:15 this part is so beautiful😭🥺wonderfully played thank you
Yep. I get -always- goosebumps.
got a keyboard a month back and have been dying to try this out... THANK YOU SM, IT'S SO DIFFICULT BECAUSE I HAVE NO BACKGROUND BUT I LOVE ITTT!!!!
I really appreciate your work
Thank you so much for this quality guidance.❤
Omg i learned piano fot years and i was horrible. I now understand i just didnt have a good enough teacher. You're amazing! Thanks for reconnecting me with piano and music again. Your energy is amazing
Amazing tutorial !!
I think this is the best tutorial video I have ever watched. Love the way you explain the steps and your voice is really kind to listen to. Even though I’m practicing a different version of this piece, I still really enjoyed the video.
Thanks a lot! I already fiddled around a bit with the melodic and harmonic idea of this fantastic piece earlier on a synthesizer, which was lots of fun. Hans Zimmer's music is so minimalistic but loaded with emotions from another world (perfectly fitting these kind of films) ♥I'm just starting to learn the piano and after watching this I found myself googling for piano teachers in the neighborhood 😆Can't wait to be able to play such pieces! I'm so grateful I got back into music after a long break (I'm almost 40 now but I I'm pretty sure this rediscovered love will last this time), and to all the very helpful and inspring content of all sorts that is freely shared on the internet 🙏
One of my favorites 🙌. Thank you for the lesson 🎶.
definitely one of my favourites too, you are very welcome!
So excited to start to learn it 🎹🌌
Wow her classes es are so good!
Amazing improvisation! Thanks a lot
Thank you so much. 💕
It’s very easy and helpful.
MAR-VE-LOUS! Bravo!
I'm amazed I was just yesterday searching for how to play it and now you uploaded this video thanks a lot!
Its like we have a connection through time
Hello, thank you thank you thank you! I've always wanted to play this! Very excited to start. God Bless
If there was ever a perfect teacher !!!! She has the approach spot on and charisma
loved the tutorial. I am a beginner starting to lean this as my first piece and I am in awe.. by the sounds
The best Interstellar piano video tutorial so far.
This tutorial is so helpful, thank you very much!
Even as I listen, I see the movie in my mind and I start feeling the tension. Hats off to you and of course the composer.
Wow!!! Thank you so much! I’m practicing!! Right now 🎉 loved it
You are so charismatic! 🤩Every time i watch your videos a take myself uncosciously smiling.
I love your piano lessons😊
I had piano lessons at school for some time (4 years) and it did improve my playing, but I never even learned how to read sheet music and when I stopped, I watched RUclips lessons instead, to learn songs and not just theory.. And I always wanted to learn this piece but it always seemed so hard in those "falling notes" tutorials. Then when I started watching actual lesson videos, I learned primavera by Ludovico Einaudi in just 3 days. So I realized I can do this with interstellar too and wow.. just wow. It's one of the most emotional and cinematic pieces I've ever heard and when I learned the beginning.. it already sounded amazing.. now I'm just practicing it so it flows smoothly. Thank you so much. I love that you separate each part and that makes it way easier than trying to play it all together before knowing the parts. ❤️✨🦋🌸 I'm totally gonna learn more songs from you
so so glad to hear this :) :) :)
4 years and never learned to read sheet music ??? what the hell were you doing during those years lol
Epic. Chills!
I got the extreme part right away thank you for teaching me this Lisa😊
Thank You! This was so helpful :)
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial
Very very good teacher , knows exactly what the students stuggle on, very good feeling to teach , and always shows the more difficult parts very slowly and alternative tricks for using only 2 notes instead of big split hands . Very nice . thank you for teaching us :=)
Love this!!!!
Thanks Lisa, your teaching method is really good...
