    None of the self-centered piano teachers I've been to ever taught me what you have in the span of a few videos. This is what I've been looking for the past 15 years, thank you!

    30 yrs ago I started learning to play the piano... less than 30 hours ago (after seeing a few of your videos), I truly truly started enjoying it for the first time in my life... thank you!

    To sound busier and fuller:
    1. do more of what you are already doing 00:38
    2. adding passing notes 2:18
    3. play notes that compliment the root note 3:38
    4. add octaves 7:00

    Firstly, you ‘explain’ everything so well indeed…(and)…at the correct ‘pace’ for a 71+ years young-at-heart-and-mind-and-soul ‘Senior Citizen’ (beginner, like me)...(and)…make it ‘look’ so ‘easy’…though, NOT yet for me at this stage, may I add! But, (may I add), your ‘techniques’ sound absolutely awesome…”DHANYAVAAD!”…Pianote with Lisa.

  • @ThisIsMattsLife

    You know, a lot of us out here take lessons, learn scales and take grades but very often is doesn't sound musical. What you have done here, for me at least, is shown me how to sound musical with the most basic chords. Thank you so much.

    Your videos hit different. You have a way of stepping out from the common music theory curriculum way of teaching this stuff.

I purchased my first keyboard on Aug. 7, of this year. And from watching your videos I've gained the confidence to dive in whole hog. So, I will be joining Pianote tomorrow... I just hope you will be my instructor. Thanks for all that you do to help us, beginners with our musical aspirations.

Your videos aren't just helpful, you also know how to pedagogically transmit the knowledge and that's what a lot of coaches/teachers can sadly lack of. Thanks for everything ❤

    About this video, I'm happy to see what I spontaneously do (for decades) condensed and explain clearly so I can better understand what I was doing to sound great, but not understanding why it sounds great.
    (I hope my English is good enough for you to get my thoughts)
    Oh yes, I have more and more fun due to your way of explaining things!
