I have been watching your videos for about a year now and I truly enjoy them. It is clear that you are doing what you love and you have inspired people to strive. I am 74 years young and started formal piano lessons about 1 1/2 years ago. I try to practice daily for an hour, but often the time gets away from me and two hours have passed. Thank you for the videos! I am a martial arts instructor, focusing on Tai Chi and I find that I get the same calming sensation playing the piano as I do practicing Tai Chi. Thank you, again!
This song was one of the main reasons why I wanted to learn play to play piano (I'm usually guitar player). I love the piano music of Satie, Grieg and Tschaikowski.
Guitar and piano seem to complement each other really well, I've only been learning the piano for 8 months but notice transposing between the two is very common.
U said that 4 months ago now you've Been playing for nearly exactly 1 year in this time what have you accomplished and have you ever taken a long break or just stopped
This is my favourite piano piece. Almost every time I hear it I either get chills down one side or it brings a tear to my eye. It’s amazing. On a good day, both
One of my favs, I play this everyday and was the first song I learned as I taught myself piano. John Tesh has a nice arrangement of this as well. He called it "In the Comfort of Angels" on his The Power of Prayer and Worship album.
Thank you for this. I am an old lady and working on memorizing a few pieces I like. Although it is taking me many many sessions to learn this, I never tire of following along with you! From Rhode Island
in this weird year, most of my gigs and classes as a percussionist dropped, so hardly any income. rough in a way, BUT my deep deep wish to learn to play the piano got at once lotsa space, time and hours to devellop!!! now 5 lessons later and about 4 hrs practice a day.... Satie is one of my main studies... wow! you explain it very well!!! (bach, jarrett and glass are also my main studies)... again: you are a great teacher, even for a non native english speaker, good to follow.
I loved this when I first heard it in 1980 as the B-Side to Gary Numan's "We Are Glass" single. We had it played at our wedding in 1999. I've now decided to learn how to play it - so wish me luck(!) and thanks for the upload 🙂
I'm learning Gym-1 and it helps me learn the notes on the piano. Piano is a good way to get through the Pandemic. I need new glasses to see the sheet music better.
I got as a present the double LP of Reinbert De Leeuw with the early piano works of Erik Satie 30 years ago. It became my favorite music for a year. Since my brother was a pianist, there was a grand piano in the house. I couldn't play but I loved Gnossiene no. 1 so much, that I learned to play it note by note until it sounded great. De Leeuw plays it slowly so it was possible. That's the only piece I can play. If you don't now this version of Reinbert De Leeuw, give it a try. It's heavenly.
I just started playing so really way beyond me at present but you are inspiring. I will save this video. I always loved the haunting melody of this piece. Thank you.
after a few months watching and learning this I can finally say I can play it! Now I just have to practice it. I didn’t know this was a simplified version either. Oh well!
I year ago heard this piece on the radio and have been in love with it ever since. Thank your for sharing this video and the sheet music! I will not stop until I have mastered this! Thank you :)
Ok it's official - you are amazing. I've just finished my 2nd semester and my music teacher is now on her holidays - I'm a mature student and my teacher works to term time and so I was looking for 3 pieces to practice over the holidays...I have definitely come to the right place - you took all the fear I had out of this piece. So wonderful...
I love your pace, tone and way of teaching. Very clear and concise. I think I can do open heart surgery if you did a tutorial. Thanks for sharing, have a good day 😊
Today I watched first time your video I am 38 years old and want to learn piano I believe I will after seeing your videos You are awesome and I am very very thankful to you
This song came pre-loaded on my Yamaha CSP-170. It's one of the easier pieces to play when you just follow the falling lights. I play about 40 songs well after 7 months of practice and there's hundreds more to learn. Videos like this help with my fingering technique and provide lots of info for someone teaching himself at home like me!
This piece is beautiful! As I was playing, my husband said it fits me far better than a lot of the other, almost stuffy, pieces I've worked on recently.
Love this piece. We got a piano last December for our kid, so i started playing again after 30 yrs. That's the first piece I'm trying to learn. I'm still at the key change, but someday I'll get it right!
I'm looking at buying my first keyboard. This piece is definitely on my short list of things I want to learn first. Great advice about warming up with scales. I have old fingers.
Watching "my dinner with andre the other night" and this is the theme song..perfect fit ..sooo relaxing..im gracious for all your pure love energy ..one 💘 love
Not Herbie Hancock from the Method, this is a great practice and gave me an idea of where I am. This showed me I know the scale formula well enough to figure out a scale I've never tried before. And I followed your right hand well enough, about 65% but still encouraging. I first heard this piece in The Royal Tennenbaums, probably my favorite selection next to Van Morrison.
Oooooh! This is the very 1st classical piece I ever tried to play and is one of my favorite songs on Earth! Can't wait to watch this video because I need help with the second part so bad! Thanks 4 this!
AWESOME !! I can share this with grandkids ... I used to teach their parents way before TH-cam :) Now I have to RELEARN -- Thank you for sharing your gift ✨✨✨👍
The song actually hasn’t end yet, you play the piece as Lisa demonstrated but you have to learn the second ending which ends on a D minor, Satie tends to get weird with his chordal structure in his pieces so don’t feel bad for not being able to memorise the piece.
I chose the "Sheet Music with Fingers" download. I found the right hand fingering of measure #22 was impossible for me. Also the fingering in measures #27 and #34 are also not consistent with the video. I am so grateful to have the video to refer to.
Well If you are just starting to Play it makes no sense. this comment makes no sense in generall. This Version still Sounds good and especially when you are starting it makes you excited to Play Something beautiful @@scavenom2008
Thank you so much for this :) This was one of the pieces that made me fall in love with piano, and now I'm learning to play finally. This is so helpful for starting out Ms. Lisa thank you
Yay another good tutorial. This is the 2nd good tutorial I’ve found. It isn’t a song I know or love but it still sounds good and and I wouldn’t mind learning. Don’t wanna be stuck only knowing meme songs and fur elise
8:43 somehow I felt this is a lot of "there is nothing we can do about it, the society is just so harsh... we just go by the day by day things and it is like that..." but Lisa added quite a bit of grace to that... actually, Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement is feeling sad to the world, with a lot of emotion, and Gymnopédie is look at it with a somewhat cold eyes... this is my interpretation
I know we are supposed to follow what is written but i found myself just going with felt good to me and it sounded nice to me. This is a good piece to improvise on

all three are such beautiful composers!
@Amni Yusoff Good luck to you hope you stay with it it will be rewarding
U said that 4 months ago now you've Been playing for nearly exactly 1 year in this time what have you accomplished and have you ever taken a long break or just stopped
3 of the best, Chopin and Debussy are also my bois
This is my favourite piano piece. Almost every time I hear it I either get chills down one side or it brings a tear to my eye. It’s amazing.

ill check it out!
Erik Satie's music is simple yet complicated. Mixed of all emotions.

Just bought a piano and it’s my goal this year to be able to play this 🎹 Lisa makes it easy to watch.
So glad I found you on this channel. Thank you for being so patient with us.
You are an awesome person, the perfect teacher, stay sharp and amazing, no pun intended.
We'll never be flat!
Would you say that pun was accidental? I mean, it felt so natural
Yes, stay sharp, don't be flat!
Thanks for your beautiful work!
Life without music would
B-flat!
(I want musical notation capability on my iPhone.
🎼🎵 is all I've got.)
@@Cologram I agree it does, I should compose a liszt of music puns.
I just started playing so really way beyond me at present but you are inspiring. I will save this video. I always loved the haunting melody of this piece. Thank you.
How's it going man
Jerrod. Whatever your paying this woman, it ain't enough. Give her a raise! She has made this channel
after a few months watching and learning this I can finally say I can play it! Now I just have to practice it. I didn’t know this was a simplified version either. Oh well!
Took a break from Piano for a long time... I’m thinking of coming back now. You are the perfect tool to becoming a pianist! ❤️
@Dean Clark True... :( You are the perfect TEACHER! :)
It's worth doing it all over again!
I year ago heard this piece on the radio and have been in love with it ever since. Thank your for sharing this video and the sheet music! I will not stop until I have mastered this! Thank you :)

You are the best piano educators I have found in ten years on TH-cam, and trust me, I have searched like hell
Today I watched first time your video
I am 38 years old and want to learn piano
I believe I will after seeing your videos
You are awesome and I am very very thankful to you
LOVE this song, Erik Satie's music is Awesome! :)
Man, Erik is one of my favorites! Heard him 4 1st time a couple of years ago and I was like, "Oh, ok. I'm liking this!"
truly!
This song came pre-loaded on my Yamaha CSP-170. It's one of the easier pieces to play when you just follow the falling lights.

Thank you for doing these simplifications. You make piano more accessible especially for older beginners :-)
Agree!
Thanks! I am going to jump to the piano after 15 years with this piece. Love Satie!
rain drops on a window. love this song.
This piece is beautiful! As I was playing, my husband said it fits me far better than a lot of the other, almost stuffy, pieces I've worked on recently.
It’s one of the best piano pieces ever written indeed :)
I love the way you teach piano ❤

@@PianoteOfficial Wait, did the actual lady from the videos ACTUALLY just respond to my comment?!!! What?! Made my day!
Satie is a favorite. DeBussy a close second. Myb14byr old is learning it for me. I am grateful. It is one of the songs that makes you feel deeply.
Beautiful! Your lessons and sheet music are an incredible resource, much appreciated!
thanks for watchin!
AWESOME !! I can share this with grandkids ... I used to teach their parents way before TH-cam :) Now I have to RELEARN -- Thank you for sharing your gift ✨✨✨👍
This song is relaxing to hear, but very busy to play 😁 especially for the left hand
What a lovely piece of music ❤
8:44 i so hoped for one session without talking... thats such a great class altogether!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!
OH MY GOODNESS you make it sooo easyyyy thanks a million... I know you are not playing as it is written, but it feels and sounds so good.
You create the best piano tutorials
Simple and beautiful gymnopedie 1. Thanks Lisa😊👍
You are welcome!
thanks for the sheet music for this tune. i've heard this at times in movies and such and never knew what it was.
The song actually hasn’t end yet, you play the piece as Lisa demonstrated but you have to learn the second ending which ends on a D minor, Satie tends to get weird with his chordal structure in his pieces so don’t feel bad for not being able to memorise the piece.
You are so pleasant person! What a joy to look your video. Pure treasure for TH-cam
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ! THANK YOU SO MUCH... LOVE SATIE ♡
you are so, so, so, welcome!
You sound great!🥰
Music is so beautiful. Thank you very much.
I can't wait to learn this song this is a very relaxing one..

Lisa, very nice arrangement of this beautiful piece. I am working on the original now, and appreciate the changes that you made!
glad to hear it!
Thank you for showing the uninitiated your great lessons how to play sweet piano music. Highly apricated.👍👍👍
Thank you for such clear and interesting instructions and the work you & the team do. Your channel is a god-sent.
You are amazing. I wish I could play. I will settle to listen and enjoy. I love your teaching style. It sounded so nice when you played it. Lovely.
yellow looks beautiful on you Lisa:-) ! Gymnopedie No.1 is a wonderfully ambient and dreamy piece of music that is just timeless!
@0:12 it's pronounced like: Gym-no-pay-dee and you got it right 👍
You so awesome teacher !!! 💙 De Paris France
You are just delightful. Thank you for the lesson!
Would love to hear your take on digital vs acoustic, not necessarily just for beginners but long term also or more experience players 😊
Thank you, I’m really enjoying playing this.

Great video thank you 🙏♥️🎼♥️🙏
Merci pour ce tuto magnifique avec la partition que du bonheur
I can see wanting a simplified version for students, but these cords don’t capture the beautiful harmonies of the original
Definitely.
I'm sure it doesn't that's why it is the simplified version
Exactly....I rather go for the real versión no matter how difficult. The sound is rewarding
True
Well If you are just starting to Play it makes no sense. this comment makes no sense in generall. This Version still Sounds good and especially when you are starting it makes you excited to Play Something beautiful
@@scavenom2008
magnificent piece
truly!
Thank you so much for this :)
This was one of the pieces that made me fall in love with piano, and now I'm learning to play finally. This is so helpful for starting out Ms. Lisa thank you
Just lovely, Lisa!!! 😊👍🏻
Thanks for being a part of it with us!
Oh, I found the sheet music under "SHOW MORE." THANKS!
Thanks I was wondering about where to find it
this is so amazing, would love to play that
Yay another good tutorial. This is the 2nd good tutorial I’ve found. It isn’t a song I know or love but it still sounds good and and I wouldn’t mind learning. Don’t wanna be stuck only knowing meme songs and fur elise
Really beautiful. Thank you!!
Thank you. I'm not a beginner but I like to play things simply at first to get the feel for things
Beautiful piece of music!
8:43 somehow I felt this is a lot of "there is nothing we can do about it, the society is just so harsh... we just go by the day by day things and it is like that..." but Lisa added quite a bit of grace to that... actually, Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement is feeling sad to the world, with a lot of emotion, and Gymnopédie is look at it with a somewhat cold eyes... this is my interpretation

Who almost fall asleep listening this Sooo satisfying and elegant song~😩🖐🏻
Thank you... you are also fun to watch, as you teach us
Really motivational I will give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
I have a hard time meditating on a daily basis learning this might help for the days when my mind is racing
Lisa is great!
Love and Light.
Thank you so much for showing this tutorial. You just make it simple for me. Such a beautiful piece.
Glad to hear it was helpful :)
I love the super simplified version - thank you!
I love this piece of music by Erik Satie so calming peaceful a master piece.
True that. :)
Thats just what i needed
Third !
Love it 🥰
Loved it. Hopefully I'll pay it in a few weeks
Thank you Lisa for your wonderful piano lesson connecting to simple classical pieces of piano...
She did well, right?
Woah I planned to learn this song and then your video came out before I can even start learning it by myself. Thank you!
