I love this video. I am a Pastor's wife and recently started playing in the church after we lost our regular piano player. I tried to take one-on-one lessons and failed horribly. I find that I can relate well to your form of teaching. I am looking forward to learning more.
I really appreciate your philosophy on teaching chords first. It trains students to internalize theory and harmony intuitively and aurally as well as technically.
@@pianoly My girlfriend loves the song "Honey in the Rock," which uses the same chords! However, I'll have to transcribe the song to C so I can play it using the chords you taught me in this video. Will you do a video on transcription someday?
Hi, That is great! Thanks. By the way, the C major descripton on top (from 1:18), has a small mistake. The green mark is on the Eb, so it is a C minor, but you played and told it well. (You can repair that video if you want.) All the best, keep going!!!
Thank you for this clear snd concise lesson. Your combination of the actual keyboard and the chord overlay makes it seem easy, which is extremely motivating! “Let it Be” is a great song to learn. More Beatles please!’ I recently discovered your channel and I’m all in. Thank you!
I took piano lessons when I was younger. Now I'm ready to try again. You are a fantastic teacher and I am working on your methods and lessons. I would love to learn my favorite song : Imagine, by John Lennon. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent.
🎉❤You Are a WONDERFUL teacher !! I am 58, just starting my keyboard lessons , and I am really enjoying your insights !!! Thank you, From Recife, Brasil !!🎉❤
I'm a total beginner with the Piano / keyboard as from literally today, I have just subscribed to your channel and Kaitlyn you really do impress me and really hope i can make this a favourite hobby of mine. Love your style & delivery. Bless you!
It is amazing how much one can learn just by watching you play. I'm a beginner, and am now learning chords (still learning the scales, though). I began playing "Let It Be", and started in middle C like you do. However, I was inexperienced enough that I moved my right hand "UP" to get to the Gmajor instead of moving my hand DOWN to get to the G. No wonder it didn't sound right. Too focused on playing the G moving up, probably because that's the way I learned scales (C>D>E>F>G, etc.) and subsequent chords (triads) moving up while in Cmajor. Thanks for straightening me out.

Great info.. I have been watching Kaitlyn for awhile now. I watch a few good teachers.. For those wondering PIANOLY with Kaitlyn is in my top 3 not in any certain order! Great teacher you will not be disappointed.. I really think she gives some the easiest content to learn she goes slow and explains extremely well.. Lee 01-17-2024 from MN
I wanted to thank God for everything He has dun for me but a chose something i can not do at all to thank Him and playing Keyboard or Piano is one of them
Hi there. I am trying to google lyrics and chords to a song, but cannot get the same that results that you received for the beatles song Let it be. Can you help me with this.
Okay you showed these chords starting at C4 and going up and then Let It Be was C4 and below. So how would you know if a chord starts at C4 or higher or lower? So if the C chord starts on C5 or C3 how would you know?
Thanks al lot for th video. I'm a bass player and I have been getting really into learning my fretboard, scales and modes. I realized how you can just use that theory to play the keyboard, so I have been learning basic chords and triads on the keyboard. Eventually I want to create melodies with my midi keyboard to go along with my bass! Have a good day.
Recently I made the decision to learn to play the piano. I’m now seventy eight and have not the time for ta twenty five year training program. Well,you are the answer to my prayers. You manner of teaching is uplifting and encouraging. Thank you for offering this course. I’m so excited and looking forward to playing and singing. You’ve given me the confidence……..it’s going to happen. Thanking you in advance.
Question, I am new to this but I'm wondering about the four chords and what it would look like on a sheet of music? Notes, sheet of music. C-Major, F-Major, G-Major & A-Minor chords
This woman is so EASY to understand because she makes lessons so SIMPLE to understand! Love this teacher cause she names EACH keynote or chords by LETTERS 🔤🔠 , just cannot go wrong!! Awesome lesson here! Please do more pop songs! Too many Beatles songs already!!
I am a beginner and have 32 key key board , I have a few simplified programs I on to learn What is a good simplified app to buy to use to type in any song for key board to get my 4 chords to play thsnk you
Kaitlyn, I have a question for you. In this video from 1:20 (time into video) to about 4:08 you demonstrated the chords C major, F major, G major and A minor. In your demo, you proceeded up the scale (to the right) with the chords following C major. Then when you did the demo using these chords for the song “Let It Be”, you start with C major at the “C4” point on the scale but then used the other 3 chords going down the scale (to the left). That threw me since you demoed the last 3 chords (prior to the song) going up the scale. I get it that those are the correct chords, but is there anything on the play sheet that would convey that direction relative the C major? Also at 1:17, the graphic image of the C major chord has illustrates a black key with green coloring to indicate to strike that key. I assume this is just a typo, correct? Kaitlyn, you are a brilliant instructor. I am sooo enjoying your TH-cam channel and am an older student who want to play the songs that I love using your methods. Thanks, Mark in Woodland CA
Awesome.. you have inspired me to buy a keyboard..when I was young I could play the piano by ear.. and I've been messing around with free Garage Band on iOS ipad mini..its a little small.. and also now use the King of FM synthesiser plug-in .. both these are free and awesome too. But I realised I need a keyboard at least to experiment .. after your video I now see I need to learn other things too.. thanks again ..awesome..I'll be watching videos..
Nice you teach well I knew notes on piano not chords but now I understand because I know guitar so this tutorial is eye opening now I understand the logic thanks a lot ❤. Keep making tutorials like this one
Wow! What awesome class, thank you a lot for that! My favorite is the 3rd, the waves arpeggio, due I realized it sounds amazing with the sus pedal, and once the two hands are flowing coordinatelly it's like an hypnotic trance... really sounds like magical waves... and I was surfing them...what a feeling! Then the most challenging was the 6th, two octave arpeggios, due this cross thumb on the forth note, who has to jump 3 keys instead the one we get used on the scales technique... so really big jump for my clumsy thumb... 😛but I will keep practicing until master it due you're right, arpeggios are really amazing!!!
Wow you're a good teacher. I was so frustrated ..I'm thankful for having come across uour teaching. Bless you. I'm 73 and so thankful to God . Shall be in touch
I never learned chords in my lessons as a child. At 74, it's time! I have just been playing whatever music is on the page! I think I'm a 4th grade level. I can play the entire Poet and the Peasant overture. I started learning it 60 years ago but never finished learning the last pages until two years ago. Phew!
That looks really easy. I never would have thought Let It Be could be so easy. Heading to the piano I got on Next Door from advice from your previous video.
Hello! After a brain injury many years ago I lost my ability to play the guitar. I spent a lot of years on stage and its all gone. re-learning the guitar is just not happening but I refuse to give up on music. I can plink out a couple of simple tune segments on a piano and I have access to a piano. I'm going to give this a try for the next six months. Lets see where this takes me. Than you!
Hey there’s a mis… 🤣 I’m funny.😬 Thanks for sharing. I’ve heard the “you only need to know a few chords..” so many times, but don’t think i’ve ever seen it. That looks incredibly feasible. Gonna try and remember this for the next time I’m randomly in front off a piano 6 to 12 months from now!🤣 Looks fun.👌💪
Hi, I am a newbie trying to learn this beautiful instrument I'm starting to see your videos I hop I can learn the song Big shot from The Artist, Billy Joel . Thank you for your patience, thank you, ma'am. Ps Happy new year.
Hello. My intention is to play the main melody with the right hand and accompanying chords with the left hand. Is theis tje roght course for this? Thank you.
This was great, thank you. This is one of my favourite songs, so this would be my choice. You are playing another note between chords it sounds like. What is that?

Brilliant, thank you. Just confused by the graphic that shows C D# G?
I really appreciate your philosophy on teaching chords first. It trains students to internalize theory and harmony intuitively and aurally as well as technically.
Finally someone make it easier for me to understand why, why, how, how & what those 4 major chords are for. THANK YOU! God bless.
I used your method for Googling a song's chords and realized I can play TONS of worship songs using the four chords you showed me! This is great!
That’s awesome! What song will you learn first?
@@pianoly My girlfriend loves the song "Honey in the Rock," which uses the same chords! However, I'll have to transcribe the song to C so I can play it using the chords you taught me in this video. Will you do a video on transcription someday?
Oh wow I’ll have to check that song out. Amazing that you know about transcription. Yes, I’m sure there will be a video about that soon!
Hi, That is great! Thanks. By the way, the C major descripton on top (from 1:18), has a small mistake. The green mark is on the Eb, so it is a C minor, but you played and told it well. (You can repair that video if you want.) All the best, keep going!!!

Awesome lesson.
This is super helpful!
I'm so glad! Which song will you learn first?
I’m just trying to learn a song by - - Joe Cocker -Unchain my heart. I’m 75 yrs old been a while since I’ve had piano lessons.
