This lesson is definitely more for beginners. I'll show you how to form a major and minor chord on ANY key on the piano, and how to train your ear so that you can hear the difference. Here are the timecodes: Form a chord - 0:25 Filling in the middle - 1:07 Major chord formula - 1:46 Minor chord formula - 1:56 Training your ear - 2:05 Make your practice fun - 3:22
One way for sports people is to think of NFL Defenses. You have 3-4 Defense or 4-3 Defense. So A minor is a 3-4 defense(3 half steps, 4 half steps) , A Major is a 4-3 defense (4 half steps, 3 half steps). This is something I use to remember.
I have been a piano student for 2 months and my teacher hasn't taught me about chords yet. But since I'm hungry to learn new things about piano stuff all the time, I kinda love this video for showing me a million possibilities to play with chords. I hope my teacher doesn't think I'm betraying him. Hahaha Thank you so much! You're a sweetheart.
I started playing the piano just a few month ago and stumbled across this channel. Thank you so much Lisa for your inspiring videos and energy! And I'm learning so much! Cheers.
you are such a good teacher. expressive and making things easy to understand and remember. I am so thankful that you've taken your teaching career online for us all out here away from your area. Thank you so much!
Really superlative (GREAT!!!) instruction. She is infectious in her enthusiasm for (1) playing and (2) providing us, her audience, with clear and accurate information!! Soooooooo thankful.
When you said changing the mood with one ½ step is mind-blowing, I FELT THAT! watching this as a complete beginner to music and all that but I am taking a Scoring for Video and Film course at my school. I couldn't understand what the reading was trying to explain to me and you fixed that within 5 minutes! Thank you so much for this video!
Your enthusiasm and unique take on piano is so inspiring. You are my #1 place to go on-line for piano instruction. I'm just in month two of learning and discovering you got me over a real discouraged phase to where I am now enthusiastic again. It's so hard when you are a neophyte but YOU make it fun!! Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for the easy to understand explanation! It's been 40 years since I've been an active piano player, and I had forgotten this part of music theory.
amazing!I already sort of know this stuff but want to get better at putting it all together to write music. Thanks for explaining it so simply and giving cool exercises to try out ourselves
🤯I finally get it! Thanks alot, great teacher. You talk super-fast even for a native English speaker like myself, but it all makes sense. Bookmarking this one.
Used to play piano 30 years ago - self taught myself guitar recently, until having a stroke - relearning my guitar (put me back a couple of years), and found a born again love of piano music, love this lesson, enjoy the freshness of your lessons, relearning the piano now thanks to your channel
@@PianoteOfficial as part of my recovery, I attend a music therapy 'Strokestra' thats run by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and we had one of the lead pianists at our session today. I showed him your TH-cam videos, and he said your style of teaching is so easy to understand, and explains things a great deal better than 99% of piano teachers out in the world today. He said to follow your videos, and he expects me to be able to play 'Someone Like You' within a few weeks of following you and practising.. Now thats a challenge as I do have some difficulty with my left hand after the stroke!
Hi. Playing the piano is not my thing. Yesterday, I suddenly got myself being on the keyboard and I started to watch online on its basics. Studying piano basics is really hard, I almost cried in frustration yesterday. I know it takes a lot of practice and patience. I watched online piano tutorials since yesterday and of all the channels I visited and watched, this amazing channel helped me to understand this particular lesson so well. This lesson greatly helped me to identify the difference between the two. You're such a great teacher! Thank you so much! Gonna watch all your amazing tutorials! Much love from the Philippines!
Oh wow Hope that's so wonderful to hear!! Thank you for the kind words. If you'd like some free beginner lessons we have a series here: www.pianote.com/getting-started Good luck with everything!
Thanks for your wonderful lessons, they are most appreciated. Even after four years of piano it's still nice to go over the basics, and you make it very interesting. 😁👍
I love your training- I look forward to watching more, learning and playing more- you make it seem easy, so I know if I keep practicing based on your teachings, I will evolve my skills🙌🙏😇 Thank you StarSistah!💫
i'm falling in love with your hands....and thanks again for all your videos.....i'm getting compliments from around the globe as a professional pianist whiles mixing what u do much love,,,keep on doing this
im currently 15 and learning piano. I could play pieces,, but my hands would never accurately land. watching your videos really helps and makes things easier, thank you
I'm sorry to hear that! If you'd like some free beginner lessons we have 4 of them here: www.pianote.com/getting-started It will let you see what it's all about without having to make a commitment.
Thank you so so so much.... I never could understand notes... I always felt I don't have the ear to play music... 😕 but thanks to you I can understand the scales and notes and keys... I do have an ear. 🤩😍😍 love you so much. 😘
I am kinda confused! Many people say that to make a major you need to count four and then three and some people say it’s three two so I am very confused, it would help if you could explain this to me! Sry for bothering you! I am a beginner at the piano I got one for my bday and it’s coming tomorrow!!!!!! Your content really helps thank you!!
Thank you! You always give those wonderful tips and they are so helpful to beginners like me, trying to understand music besides just practicing you make it so exciting, like a box of ... Aha!!... moments.
Basically the piano class im in ended up teaching us with nursery songs like mary had a little lamb and etc Although they never thought the difference between a major and minor and how to do scales properly, thanks for your videos!! This is very appreciated!! Happy pride too🏳️🌈
Ooh this is a good one. One thing I would suggest is to look at the bass notes. Most often those are the chords that are being used. Then write that chord symbol above the melody line. That's how I (Scott) used to do it when I had to play hymns.
@@duality4y Because you need your each individual fingers to get used to different pattern of chords. Unlike piano which sometimes just change movement of hand to specify different note and just change your fingers slightly or even not change at all, each chords in guitar are different form which will need different complex fingers adjustment. Then, after you already get used to it. Your strumming or fingerstyling need to ring out each individual string in which beginner guitar player have a hard time with it because their skin have not still developed callouses until they practiced their guitar in a about one month time.

I love how, after all the years you have been playing the piano, you still get excited by the basics. That is what makes you an exceptional teacher!
You’re always so excited about the concepts and content you present. It’s inspiring!
I love what I do :)
Although this lesson is focused towards beginners,you still managed to make it interesting for more advanced players.
That is a wonderful compliment. Thank you so much!
That's because if people were chords...Lisa's definitely a major.

After three years I finally realised how it works. Thank you so much 😊
You are the best piano teacher I promise!
Dude! I cannot tell you how helpful & how much I enjoyed this lesson! Really breaks it down & makes major/minor chords make more sense. Thanks!
I've played synths by ear for years and this taught me more about simple music theory than I've been able to grasp for years. Very well done.
Omg, the way her eyes light up like a kid's in a candy shop. Superb! Energy is infectious. I have been devouring your videos!
Thank you so much for the easy to understand explanation! It's been 40 years since I've been an active piano player, and I had forgotten this part of music theory.
Thank you! Last year I started playing piano whilst getting chemo treatment but I never understood any theory. This helps in a major (and minor) way!
Thank you. You’re the best and your attitude makes me feel so comfortable.
amazing!I already sort of know this stuff but want to get better at putting it all together to write music. Thanks for explaining it so simply and giving cool exercises to try out ourselves
Whenever i want to learn something about the piano your videos always pops-up, i really appreciate your hard work
Happy to hear that!

enterlude and exitlude by the killers tutorial please!!
Top quality. 😊👍
You are amazing 😍🥺you are my teacher
I love ur videos they help me a lot , triad is another name for chord ? thank you I don't know my notation but u really help me
Can u make a lesson on when to change chords on piano please please please please
I'm not really sure what you mean. If you're playing a song or piece of music you would change chords when the music tells you to!
I love your class
Does it help to learn piano when the teacher is so cute that you have a hopeless crush? It does keep me coming back for the quality instruction 😍
What’s the name of the music in the intro and at the end?
Basically the piano class im in ended up teaching us with nursery songs like mary had a little lamb and etc
Although they never thought the difference between a major and minor and how to do scales properly, thanks for your videos!! This is very appreciated!!
Happy pride too🏳️🌈
Anything on "you are so beautiful"? The Joe Cocker version
For a fifth is it 7 half steps always or is it 5 notes away in the scale? (Skipping over keys that are not in the scale)
My girlfriend left me and now my mood feels like a minor chord
I"m sorry :(
Dont worry this is temporary ))))
When pedophiles get in trouble with police and detectives, their life is worse chord!
@@fooddrugadministrator4079 diminished chord?
Can you teach how to transpose a hymnals to lead sheet thank you
Ooh this is a good one. One thing I would suggest is to look at the bass notes. Most often those are the chords that are being used. Then write that chord symbol above the melody line. That's how I (Scott) used to do it when I had to play hymns.
@@PianoteOfficial thanks
It takes weeks to learn minor chord in guitar if you just started it out and it takes 5 minutes to learn this in piano. Daym
why does it take so long on guitar
@@duality4y Because you need your each individual fingers to get used to different pattern of chords. Unlike piano which sometimes just change movement of hand to specify different note and just change your fingers slightly or even not change at all, each chords in guitar are different form which will need different complex fingers adjustment.

Your strumming or fingerstyling need to ring out each individual string in which beginner guitar player have a hard time with it because their skin have not still developed callouses until they practiced their guitar in a about one month time.
@@duality4y But in my experienced, After 3 months of practicing, you can easily play majority of chords without hassel.
I think playing the piano is harder than playing the guitar...
@@verobarrionuevo learning chords on piano are way easier than on guitar
What kinda keyboard is recommended for beginners?? Can anyone help me??
Can I just count the difference in of the whites in between the keys I’m playing?
Good
Ur so good
Love!!!
