Hey man, nine months later I'm genuinely curious how the keyboard playing is going? I am considering buying one. I spend a lot of time at home and need a new hobby. I am curious how far you were able to get with this RUclips channel alone.
Hi I’m 75. Over the last 35 years I have performed in musical theater. Shows like Les Mis,Fiddler,My Fair Lady and many more, all without being able to read music or play the keyboard. So I have many it my goal to learn to read music and play keyboard this year. I recently purchased a 61 key keyboard to start on my journey. I love your videos and they will be my guide on this quest.
I have the same goal, buddy! guitar player, got into vocal lessons, fell in love with musicals, and I need to get going with something piano to sing along!
I'm 54 and bought a casino ctk 1100 in a thrift store today. I've always wanted to learn and play along to some of my favourite artists such Aretha Franklin who was a wonderful keyboard player.
A request from a beginner, Please make a guide video on what to learn first and order of the piano pieces, music theory etc that we should learn first before moving to progressively difficult pieces
There isn't one path for everyone. It all depends on what you want to learn and what are your goals as a piano player. Pianote has courses on their site and a method, which is a structured format, maybe check that out?
1. Following directions. 2. Help the students feel at ease . 3. Rhythm activities . 4 . Group of 2 & 3 black keys . 5 . Music Alphabet , White Piano keys, Higher & lower . 6. Teach a short piano piece by rote . 7 . Introduction to the lessons & writing books . 8 . Assess fine motor skills.
feels so good to get back to music! i played trumpet for ten years, but stopped. i had also taught myself little on the piano, luckily the sheet music is the same, so i could read some music😊 i’ve always wanted to learn piano, so i’m excited to start
Already learning and I am 52 years old! I have always been a believer, through my own experiences, that you are always able to learn new things at any age. I have always wanted music in my life, specifically piano, so I just decided to order a lovely 88 key keyboard to start with and start this new journey. Then I found your awesome video here and off I am going! Also, as a side note, being my age I have a lot of experience typing (like, from learning off old school typewriters just before the big switch to computer keyboarding) and the hand holding you are teaching is the same, so I’m finding this rather easy and I am grateful for the typing skills helping me out here and very thankful for your beginners videos! ❤😊
Actually, once I started everyone thought I was a fast learner. The first thing I learned was the real scale and then I did very small songs. Now piano is my talent that made me win a lot of competitions.
Absolutely amazing, you are the best teacher for beginners ever, I stumbled across your lesson and straight away got hooked and followed your simple steps, l do really love you. Thank you for sharing your skills.
I dont know anthing about music, but this is so well explained , i feel like going and buying a piano tomorrow. I actually know what those litte shapes mean now. Thank you. Great teacher , great personality, and a pretty face. More vids please ❤❤
Wow, Lisa. You have inspired me to start learning again. I am dyslexic and I think this didn't help but with your easy way of teaching, I have started to get it. 🎉
great timing to start piano started 5 days ago, stumbled on your channel and found some pretty cool stuff so far. It|s fun watching you getting excited about music (makes it rly enjoyable to make progress). Also putting out little piano hacks is just great to get beginners hooked. im already playing guitar for about 7 years and it just fascinated by the posibilitys you have on the piano. thanks forthe great work your doing.
I just bought an upright piano (1902 Steinway ) I have never played piano before. I have played Guitar and Clarinet. Your website was the first I found and started watching the first lesson. I liked it very much, easy to follow and understand. My piano needs major tuning probably other work, but it is worth it. Thank You so much.
I tried to learn when I was younger, but it felt like too much. The people trying to teach me had such obtuse, unapproachable methods. Now that I've been writing tons of songs, I've decided to learn to play instead of using DAWs. This one video did more for me than any of the music teachers could. Thank you for this!
I really want you to teach me. When I was a kid, my teacher didn't teach me like you. He told me that i was stupid and i have no talent in music. I stopped playing piano and hated piano for many years. Now i realize it was not my fault at all. Thank you Jesus for giving me a chance to learn it again. I want to play only Gospel songs to praise God and Sunday School actions songs for kids.
I had a maths teacher like that. I wanted to be an airline pilot. He ridiculed me in front of the class. I got my Commercial Pilot Licence and became a cropduster. The best pilots in the business of flying. They put their money where their mouth is
I am so excited to start my piano journey. Your style of teaching is tremendous. Also telling me to breathe really helps stop my core meltdown. This is exactly what I needed as I have no, absolutely no, musical knowledge. Thank you. Nick
Thank you for this! ❤ I've always just played by ear but I never learned with sheet music. I'm illiterate when it comes to piano sheet music. I will definitely be trying this tonight at home with my kids so they learn to love the piano too
Wow! I visited my uncle and found a piano there, I just came here to learn how I can create some harmony, this video has helped me so much. I am challenged to get my own.
yes you definitely should. so many people are giving away their pianos on kjjjj just because they think of it as old furniture. we have lots of free pianos here in Toronto.
New subscriber here and I am eager to learn how to play piano. I have keyboard which had not been touch for many years. I hope through this channel I can learn how to play piano. Wish me goodluck.
I found a free piano on marketplace and thought, why not? Thank you for this great video. It was perfect to start my piano journey, learning in my 30s! Ps you remind me of Joy from Inside Out. So encouraging!
Thanks so much, been rolling my hands on the piano for years fingering it the wrong way. I love what I'm seeing..I really want to dedicate my time to learn proper piano playing and music interpretation.
Thank you...this lesson really helped me grasped playing Chords with my left hand. My goal is to masterfully play my favorite childhood song: Pure Imagination.
at start twas easier but eventually it get really so hard to play both hands but i believe every beginner experienced this so i will continue, Thanks you so much ma'am.
Thank you so much I’ve been repeating and practicing this video for three days maybe but it was so helpful and I feel more confident in playing now as a very beginner 😅
Hi, my son really want to have a piano but I want to make sure he can learn and play it through online before buying one. I found this channel might be helpful. ❤ I can't play any instrument thinking it's hard and complicated. I liked your method, it's clear and easy to understand. ❤
I like it when i have a female teacher, it always easy to understand. I like the way you teach this lesson, it nice. I just subscribed to your channel.
I´m 79 and retired, obviously. I´ve always longed to play piano for myself. Too ambitious to expect other family members to sit and listen to my clumsy fingers gliding along the keyboard. But I´m full of enthusiasm. I´d like to register for this 7-day trial course.
This is such an amazing video 🎉 thank you so much. I inherited our family heirloom piano… with not much musical knowledge 😅 thank you so much this was such a great video ❤ my heart almost popped out of my chest when I was able to do those chords 😂lol tysm ❤ps you have such a nice energy
just starting to learn this - as opposed to bashing on keys and thinking it sounds awful, I'd like to be able to one day play "A River Flows in You" - I know, a tall order, but there's a deeper conviction to it than a prefer to share - my question, and thank you for teh lesson... is there a playlist of these videos? A natural sequence/ progression I could/should follow? I'm not able to go for lesson in person for at least a year, so this is my best place to start... thank you!
I'm already a piano player But the music really got be emotional, it spoke to me although it was very easy for my level. Thanks Been playing it all day❤
Im a long time musician learning piano properly for the first and this was amazing. I knew id been putting my fingers in the wrong position for a while now so this helped me fix that
I'm Jojo from Nigeria. I love the piano and own a Yamaha keyboard. I've been longing for a proper lesson. Thank you for these first steps. I'm 46. Do you think I stand a chance of becoming like a pro?
I really loved your teachings they were so much fun and non aggravating lol thank you! I play acoustic and electric guitar and I've heard you can play piano if you play guitar they are a bit transferable. I've always wanted to play piano because there is such a different tone and beauty to the piano that I'd like to use instead of guitar when I sing. So I am learning piano to do just that. Even play piano over some of my guitar recordings ❤
Thank you Lisa... I can't believe that at age 67 I'm playing the piano! I'm practicing this first lesson every time I play, as my warm-up. I have played Happy Birthday all by myself just listening for the notes.
I have never enjoyed a first lesson so much and I actually felt like I learned something in such a simple way. You’re an excellent teacher and you make it fun 😭❤️
Hi Lisa, Thank you so very much! I just started teaching myself six weeks ago and this was a huge eye-opener for me especially understanding the chords. You have a magical gift of teaching. Will absolutely continue with you. 😊❤Best, Judy J.
I really loved your lesson. My second language is russian but i couldn't find such a clear lesson, but i found your video. I thought it will be hard in other language as English is my third language but you speak so clear and understandable. And yeeeeeeah i played my first song yooohoooo
I swear for the first time I have learnt something. I'm never leaving this Channel. LESSON 1 I'll keep practicing and I'll be back to say I have improved
I'll remember to send my students to this exciting red highlight and very comprehensive demonstration of keys and reading note basics for next time. Love the way you circle time signature and clefs - this will save so much paper to just play your video. Thanks a lot :) Nina
I always forget where on the keyboard letters are, so like i did on my guitar, where i cricut out numbers for each fret, time to make it cut out 29 sticker letters for my half century old Yamaha PSS-590 xD (got it from GF's dad, so figured, why not learn to play it as well :D And thankfully your channel exists which takes stuff in babysteps and brings in enthusiasm as well, which we need more channels doing to really keep the attitude and ambiance upbeat!
Before I become world famous, I'd just like to thank you for my first ever lesson!
Lolll 😅😂
Bro😂😂
Ha!
You got it bro!

Yes I agree I'm lost in the column of information
They have courses for this.
There are literally hundreds of videos on this. Don't just watch one channel lol.
There isn't one path for everyone. It all depends on what you want to learn and what are your goals as a piano player. Pianote has courses on their site and a method, which is a structured format, maybe check that out?
@@hodlwise2470please do you have any suggestions on some channels?
Learning with you is fantastic. I can swing right back if I missed something and go over until I get it. Thanks a bunch, you're a fantastic teacher
Finally, a simple example to make reading notes easier. Thank you Lisa .
