    Just found this while looking around for a beginner arrangement of carol of the bells and I must say, Christmas has come early! Thank you !

    I still cannot believe you how simple you made this; you've got the gift of teaching. It is my dream to play this song fluently. Going to start practicing now and hopefully be able to play a more advanced arrangement by next Christmas. Thank you.

    Awesome as always! Thank you!!!
    If you could play the entire song either at the beginning or the end though I think would be super helpful ; )

    I have tried several other piano teaching sites but yours is head and shoulders above the rest. You have made learning the piano fun and that makes makes me want to keep going. I also find myself smiling a lot as you have an infectious smile. Thanks to all at Pianote for making learning fun.

    Once again you've done a fantastic job of arranging and teaching. Carol of the Bells is such a beautiful and energetic song. I love it and now I can play it, thanks to you.

    You are a wonderful teacher! I love how clear and simple you keep things. I am excited about learning this Christmas song. I do know some music but not like I should. I want to learn how to play better. Learning as an adult is different than as a young person. I love music and just being able to play songs is motivational. Happy New Year!

    This is amazing thank you! This is my favourite Christmas song and I wanted so badly to play it but got discouraged when I seen how complicated it can be. So this simplified version is great! Can’t wait to learn!

  • @nicolacllee
    @nicolacllee 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's my first time to hear this song but now I can already play it. I know it is a very easy arrangement but is great fun as I am a beginner. It's much easier then "Perfect" which I am struggling in.
    Thanks with joy.

  • @ananyaroy6047
    @ananyaroy6047 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can't explain to you guys how much I loved this lesson! I can't believe that I learned to play a song in a piano (& I'm from non-musical background). I always wanted to play piano but could not. I even learned how to read musical notes from you guys! Feeling happy & confident.
    It is a 5 min video but its so educational!
    Can't wait to learn more piano lessons from you!

    I just started learning the piano got a Alesis keyboard :P This must be my frist song i refuse to learn anything until i have mastered this song. Of all the sounds on the planet these notes when put together in the way they have been laid out send quivers up my spine and mesmerizes my brain.

    Thank you for this one! I really like it because it’s not as difficult as so many versions of this wonderful song, so a lot of us can play it! But at the same time, it’s interesting and beautiful, something that can get lost in easier arrangements. Love your work and merry Christmas!

    I am a piano beginner I have watched many videos online but Pianote Lady makes it super fun super easy and very considerate of beginners, the best explanations I've got is from her channel, So basically if you are a beginner and you're looking for the best Piano Teacher, You just landed on the RIGHT Channel.

    I'm excited to try your version! Thank you for the fingering. Figuring out the best fingering is hard for me, especially since my hands are small and I have to make more jumps because of it. Hoping your version works out for me. Thank you (and your team) for all the fantastic videos!

    • @PianoteOfficial
      @PianoteOfficial  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    @Athena_Sparrow 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This was so helpful! Thank you! My only issue is that it’s hard for me to play both left and right hand keys at the same time, and perfecting the timing. Is there an easier way to do this? Or does it just take practice?

  • @franciscocalvo1980
    @franciscocalvo1980 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks.
    One question. The first time you play section C, at bar 3 you play the left hand F with the middle finger (as is written), but when you dig in that section, you play a left hand D with the thumb.
    Which is right to you? Both sound good to my ears.
