I,m so glad my keyboard has a jack for head phones lol , my neighbours would be sick to death of hearing me try to learn this over and over many times since I,m a beginner, I can play some easy songs with tab music but I have learnt nothing in regards to sheet music and reading it or any variations like you have shown here ,I loved this tutorial lesson on different ways a music piece can be played , back to basics for me.
It's always good to go back to the basics. I wish you well in your musical journey. I hope I can continue to be of some help!
@@athomewithmusic8698 …Thank you so much for your kind words , your videos help more than you know , keep them coming , much appreciated .🙏
Hello. I to am returning back to wanting to play piano after around 40 years. After about twenty professional lessons when I was twenty I learnd to memorise grade three peaces by my self but moved away to another country and then found it to be a lonely hobby. Learning with you and now 24/7 to say is a game changer, thank you for your free time you provide to us all. People would ask me back then to play this, that and the other but I could only play what I learned e.g. Moonlight Sinatra and around ten other peaces, so was boring to them. At 63 now I am looking to restart by wanting to learn basic runs first so to liven up my playing, then cords and pattens as no one told me this is how we progress, I just kept having to struggle with abcdefg etc. 'As with twinkle' can you show us 'Happy Birthday'. I would so like that to be my forty, forte' you know what I mean. I hope it will please and inspire my grand children to play, as I play for them on their Birthday's, anywhere and everywhere. The only problem I have as now I am on a sickness pention I can't aford to buy a piano as I once had a $5,000 Yamaha back in England 30 year ago, that I gave away 14 years back, so I have decided 'first' now to learn from you 'New Head Knowage', and reading the music differently than I did before, so I can tune up abit before the good Lord provides me a new waited piano, I pray, He is faithful. I also hope to send you blessings on paintron, as a labourer deserves his hire. I have subscribed and belled and liked, adding this comment too as I know it will help your Chanel to be seen as like I found you by being able to discover you, I pray all will do the same from now, it costs nothing but does so much, doesn't it. Thank you again. Philip. p.s I would not like a shoutout on patrion, thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad to learn that you want to get back to playing the piano. I also appreciate your desire to inspire your grandchildren to play music as well. I hope you will be able to get a piano soon! Thank you also for becoming a patron of the channel; I will of course honor your request to remain anonymous. God bless! - León
Thank you for the music. I'm a 'returner at the age of 70+' I had music lessons as a child at 9 for a couple of years and lost interest. I truly regret this now as I return to the keyboard, so much has been lost in memory and opportunities to 'entertain' had I kept on with the music. I find your lessons refreshing and your explanations help me return to the keyboard. Twinkle Twinkle is a little dated but I understand why this music is chosen. As previous comments have mentioned, 'Bridge over troubled water' sounds potentially a nice alterative.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy to hear that my lessons are helping you rediscover your love for music.
Speaking as a guitarist who wants to learn keyboards, this is really helpful. I wonder if you would consider extending this even further to show it as a gospel-style song (I'm thinking of the piano intro to Bridge over Troubled Water)! Many thanks for this channel - I'm now subscribed.
I'm glad the video proved helpful to you. I could try extending the idea further as you suggest. It turns out that Bridge Over Troubled Water was the first "pop" song I learned to play as a classically trained pianist.
@@athomewithmusic8698 That would be great!
I always want to learn Bridge over Troubled Water. So good 👍
I'm grateful for you.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
I have seen this method with that song before. You explain exceptionally well. Also great song to practice in different scales. Looking forward to seeing how you explain other concepts.
Thanks for watching!
You are a very good teacher. No one ever taught like this. I am Sanjay from India I love you and respect you.
Thank you for your kind words.
Finally someone who thinks like me. Yeah! I’m NOT alone. I will definitely try this.
I glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks the way I do! I wish you well on your musical journey.
Very good explanation. Thank you 🙏🏻
You're welcome. I'm glad you found the video helpful.
I would like to hear amazing grace, you are good ,keep up with good work. Teachers like you make learning easy. God bless you.
I used the song Amazing Grace in a previous video, where I was demonstrating left hand patterns. It's one of my favorite songs to use for demonstrating different piano techniques. I will probably come back to it again! Here's the previous video: th-cam.com/video/mEL5B-8dsMo/w-d-xo.html
That was beautiful.
It's amazing what you can do for a simple melody with some nice chords!
Thanks for this video, my level are versions 1 & 2, the next versions sound clear but not easy to repeat 😊
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Keep working at it, and you'll get to the next versions!
Lovely demo. Entertaining magic! I would expect beginners would soon discover they'd need to spend some hours drilling those chord changes, preferably while vocalizing the rhythm so they don't get to slow down when it's hard and speed up when it's easy. And if they plan on trying a second song by ear, they should stay in the key of C so they can make use of the chords they already know.
You've made some good points with your comment. Thank you for watching.
@@athomewithmusic8698 I just spent a blissful hour on versions one and two. My four years of training on feeling rhythm while practising all the way around the circle of fifths and this was still not quite as easy for me as you suggest, but I get that you're being encouraging and you know we can rewind. And rewind. I was happy playing the G7 as written, which you didn't mention, because G works.
Thank you for making this video..I am now a sub to your channel. 👍
Thank you for subscribing. I really appreciate it, and I hope my videos will continue to be helpful to you.
Thank you!!
Very helpful
I would like too hear Jesus paid it all.😊
You're welcome. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Jesus Paid it All is a beautiful hymn! I'll have to use it in a future video.
also good for hand independence
Yes, this will help you develop hand independence.
GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching. You're too kind!
Very good. I need to really pratice. Maybe in another video, explain how you picked or why you used dm and am 9th chords. Song sounded great
Thanks for your comment. I could do a sequel to this video, and talk about the chords I choose to use and why,
I liked your video and appreciate all the points you covered. I'd very much like to see a video on "I Love You Lord, Today."
I was not familiar with the song "I Love Lord Today." I looked it up, is it from Maranatha Gospel? If so, it's not as easy as "Twinkle Twinkle," but it's certainly worth studying. Thank you.
Had two years piano lessons aged 11-13. Can't remember much about it apart from that it was starting to sound reasonable. Regret giving it up. Don't know what distracted me. Boys maybe lol. Anyway, 68 years old now, fiddled about on keyboard about 5 years now but getting nowhere really. Learnt how to play a few tunes and just keep playing them each time. Finding it very hard to learn sight reading.
You're video is great! Can't wait to get started. I got a bit lost from about halfway through but l'll figure it out in time. The G7 threw me a bit, don't know what that means. Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video. God bless. 💕
I'm happy to learn that my video has played a part in getting you back to making music. Don't worry about getting a bit lost as you work through the video, that's quite normal for a lot of folks. As for that G7 chord, there are other videos on my channel that can help you learn what that means. This one, from the "Music Basics" playlist will help: th-cam.com/video/nmg5E58CS20/w-d-xo.html
@@athomewithmusic8698 Aw, thankyou for your reply, and for your help. Great stuff. 👍
I would love to learn Happy Birthday to you song
I've used that song in an earlier video, but I could come back to it.
14:15 Really helpful. Could you try "Oh Christmas tree" song?
That would be a good song to feature when we get close to the holiday season.
Nice will use it When I move into an Apartment that Can Accomodate A Piano 🙌👐👍
Thanks for watching. I hope you will be able to live in an apartment with a piano soon!
Jeremy ….if you have trouble try getting a keyboard with 88 keys or 61 minimum most have head phone jack you can plug head phones into which means you can play in peace and quiet anytime of night and not annoy neighbours etc , also they are not heavy to move like a piano and they need tuning , just a suggestion was all hope that helps as well at least to get playing , if you do decide keyboard,research them before buying ie …a children’s keyboard is not the same , for example small keys not normal sized keys which is what you want on a keyboard any way what ever you decide all the best with your music endeavour.🙏
Another commenter provided some good advice on getting a keyboard. Here's a video I did a while ago where I recommend a good keyboard for beginners. th-cam.com/video/qITXTqg_NI4/w-d-xo.html
That's nice. How do i make my hands play different patterns at the same time without too much struggle?
Training your hands to play different patterns at the same time is a subject worthy of its own video. I'll have to come back to that! Thanks for watching.
Great teaching. Also the same tune as the "Alphabet" song. 2 in One
I must admit that when I made this video, I had forgotten that this was a "dual purpose" tune! My daughter, who is now 37, used to sing the alphabet song incessantly when she was around 3!
Can i have a printout of the notes
These will be made available to supporters of the channel by the end of June 2024. Thanks!
Listen to Mary Had a Little Lamb by Stevie Ray Vaughn.
I couldn't resist, when I read your comment I had to stop what I was doing and go listen to it! What a guitarist! So sad that he is no longer with us.
Ah, a gem! Thank you very much. Practice will take some time, so for now one question from the theory -- in first step when you added block chords, I already heard it is based on "what sounds good", but how to narrow "mathematically" possible chords what could possible fit well. For example in the second measure it starts with "a" note, you pick "F". But that "F" didn't come from 1000 possible chords (I hope 🙂) but from smaller "basket" of choices. So how to find out the basket? As for answering your end question from simple song and spicing it Marry had little lamb in ragtime style (or bossa-nova) this would be excellent. As for breaking down and putting back pieces, the selection is too big, but nobody will complain I guess about Beatles song -- Lady Madonna would be great.
Thanks for your feedback. Choosing the chords to go with a melody is often a matter of trial and error. And sometimes the "errors" end up sounding interesting! Also, thanks for your suggestions for simple songs to work with.
Hmmm?
Hmmm!
Took to long to get into it.
Thanks for the feedback!
that is also the alphabet song ab CD ef g hi jk
It certainly is! My daughter used to sing it incessantly when she was about 3!
