How many hrs a dsy is too much on this as a❤❤❤ healthy sthletic 72 yr old retired RN snd tristhlete????
@@dancassidy7471 Poor you Dan, no response. I am a retired 77 year old nurse. For me I try for an hour a day and more if I am still having fun. Hands can get tired too. Best to break it up, I think. Maybe three hours tops for one day Hope that you are progressing nicely. I am just starting again and wish Pianote had been available years ago. The bass clef note reading has always been my downfall. Best to you.
Not sure if this helps anyone but I wrote it down:
Step 1: Left hand arpeggios:
- D, F#, A, D (2nd time stop at F#)
- B, D, F#, B
- A, C#, E, A
- G, B, D, G
Step 2: Right hand triad (inversions):
- D major: root (D, F#, A); 1st inversion (F#, A, D): finger 2 instead of 3 and move hand forward; 2nd inversion (A, D, F#); root and back
- B minor: root (B, D, F#): hand slightly forward; 1st (D, F#, B); 2nd (F#, B, D); root and back
- A major: root (A, C#, E): use C# as landmark for hand movement; 1st (C#, E, A), 2nd (E, A, C#); root and back
- G major: root (G, B, D), 1st (B, D, G); 2nd (D, G, B); root and back
Step 3: Line up arpeggio notes with chords (first with one note per chord and finally with two notes for every chord!)
Bonus: end with A and D (left) and D major (right)
I’m waiting for my piano delivery (haven’t played for like 8 years) so I’m preparing my practice exercises! Thanks for the great video!
thanks
It sounds like a I vi V IV progression, if anyone is interested in trying the whole exercise in other keys.
You’re an angel 🪽
Thank youu
Yes, it should be helpful. When I captured the text and wrote to a word file, I also had be format it. Be ready, unless you just write down by hand.
Dear Lisa,
I have followed your lessons for 7 months and you’ve made me believe that an old dog (can) learn new tricks. I’ve told you before in a previous comment that I’ve always wanted to learn to play piano. I was apprehensive because I have Shrapnel damage to my Left hand and some of my fingers aren’t able to be as flexible as I would like. It was so hard at first but you once said that I could use the finger position that works for me. So I did and it worked.
Through constant practice and believing in myself I’ve not only learned to play basic melodies but my understanding of chords, notes, arpeggios and so much more is becoming second nature to me. I am so proud of my progress that as a birthday present to myself I plan to signup for your full course. I’ve just turned 61 Yrs old this month.
I’m playing not for fame or to impress others, but for me and me only and I couldn’t be happier.
Your enthusiasm, energy and infectious smile has made me believe in myself.
Thank you so much.
Kevin M. Thompson, Cincinnati, Ohio
Yes Lisa is amazing! For me piano helps on my reumatism!! Music 🎶 heals💓🙂thank you for your inspiring message @Kevin M. Thompson Sr
@@Keira88 kindred spirits :-)
I love this
@@archiejabari8292 yeah no one cares.
Good for all of you!
An extension to this would be to reverse the hand patterns, so the right is playing the arpeggio while the left is playing the chords. Both hands should improve at various techniques.
Great idea!
Good point..
Awesome idea indeed, wayyyyyy harder though
I'm wondering if that's the way she should have did it in the first place. The left hand is more likely to be playing block chords than the right, no? And the right is more likely to be doing something a bit more complex, no?
good idea, thx
You just pull it off like it’s nothing and I’m here sitting and thinking, “Yeah, this is gonna take an eternity and a half to actually do.”
As Lisa says Little steps can be satisfying - Gospel is easier than Boogie Woogie so pick your pieces with care, some people make a fortune out of 4 chords others enjoy the journey to higher realms 😊 Lisa took us there in 8 minutes or 30 years depending on your point of view.
same bro
Have a little faith in yourself and give it a try for a few minutes a day. You may surprise yourself!
I thought the same thing 2 months ago! Leave it for now, sit on the concept for a while as you practice other stuff then come back and impress yourself!!
This is the BEST piano channel on TH-cam and that's a fact:).
Not gonna debate this is a great channel but have you check out Kent Hewitt
@@ryanmurphy3813 no! No great lessons there.
Facts
Arpita... you speak truth. Lisa is a devotee of helping us to learn for ourselves. She is an inspired (and inspiring) friend who loves to hear other play and be happy, fulfilled, creative, joyful, (10 out of 10!!!!!!!) What a Blessing!!! (I secretly want to quit my job... hang out at my friendly keyboard store, get asked to score one magnificent film, and then retire to travel the entire USA and visit all (ALL) the national parks. And take my keyboard along too.)
@@ryanmurphy3813 Kent is great. Very useful lessons and a straight shooter. He's in a different niche so it's great that there are room for two piano teachers ha ha
love this. I'm now working on it where I do the chords with the left hand and arpeggio with the right. Such an excellent exercise
One week in and I see a small progression. My understanding of doing this is that if I master this, I may as well master a lot of other things coming later. Truly grateful for the help provided by you and other youtubers.
Beautiful, I love how you incorporate technique into really great sounding pieces. Best piano channel on youtube hands down.
I love this. I am just trying to learn piano and piano music theory and technique after wanting to for many years, and it's incredible how many nice people like yourself are sharing the knowledge and techniques you have gained from years of playing. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Lisa.
This answered 3 of my questions at the same time! Your videos have me practicing so often I might cancel my cable tv because I don't watch it...I'd rather play the piano!!
...Ended up I have cancelled my cable. Do NOT miss it at all !!!!
I actually deleted all my social media platforms in order to be focused on practicing, get rid of cable, wont ever bring you what music will!
@peach laros I did the same just today,😂🙂💪
Preach 😊
The more you know
I appreciate you 🫡
I’ve been working on this for the last few days and I’m now playing slowly with hands together (part 3). Thank you for this lesson. I think I will definitely make it part of my forever practice routine in different chords and progressions! Wonderful teacher!
discovering this channel is a game changer. Came back to the piano after almost 30 years. these lessons are flawless! thank you so much and wish you all the very best!
Thank you!! You're really helping me gain more discipline and control over my practice, I'm always excited to practice after watching your videos:))
You’re so inspiring & delightfully joyous in the pursuit of piano/music magic. Thankyou 🙏
I am learning so much from you!! And also exactly what I need to learn to be confident and really enjoy playing! I have years of practicing classical piano, but this is what makes me alive!
Thank you for explaining it so clearly. I like how you showed the movement of the wrist. Keep sharing the good things! 🌻
Love your explanations! You take it slow, and provide levels of practice for beginners like me, and for more advanced students. That’s what great teachers do 👌
You’re fantastic, very enthusiastic, and above all, a great teacher! Thank you for your help. I’m making a lot of progress by following your lessons.
Love, love, love your ability to pass on your knowledge so simply and so enthusiastically. I really appreciate you and the platform you have set up for experienced and beginner students to glean from your wealth of musical ability in small bites! Thank you.
Soooooo hard!!! I just started this today, but I’m going to master it! Thank you for making this teaching video!!
Love this! Stated practising 5 days ago. Followed Lisa's advice and sat at the piano today and kept up with Lisa. 🙂
As an adult, I took piano lessons close to 20 years ago. After several years away from the piano, I've been trying to get back to playing. I've picked up my old lesson books, but for the most part, I'm not enjoying playing. I am so happy to have found Pianote. I've only checked out a few of your lessons but I am already more interested and excited to be playing. Thank you
Your sweet, positive voice adds a lot. Thanks. I’m teaching my little grandson online and all this helps me direct him.
Thank you for sticking your ad before the lesson and not in the middle and thank you for being willing to take the time to teach all your far flung students.
You are an amazing teacher, I’m gonna guess one of your values is ‘make learnin’ fun’ and you certainly do that!👍🏻
Great exercise I love learning new exercises to include into practice that help focus on different techniques. Keep up the amazing work.
I love how every time you tell us about ways to improve, you also show us how to do it. Everything is explained very well. I have watched several videos now, each time I learn something new and you are so entertaining. I am actually excited to practice everyday.
This is a very helpful exercise if you want to master piano. Thanks. I've been practicing this for a week and playing is so much easier now.
Lisa, this is a practice idea I was looking for a long time. I’m gonna do it both hands, in switch and all the way through circle of fifth… ❤ We love you!
You’re the best piano teacher on TH-cam. You make even the boring exercises seem fun
Absolutely delightful presentation I am going to do this immediately,
Thank you! I've started practicing again after 30years and doing it differently from the old way and these tutorials are amazing
I love it! A simple how to showing every detail. I have had my keybosard for a week now thasnk you!!!
I played piano as a kid. Did not touch it in 15 years. This is sooo hard it is unbelievable. You are such an amazing teacher and your voice makes me not wanna give up and relearn it all ❤
I like that you showed the final result in the beginning, awesome !
And great video by the way, I am currently practicing inversions and my routine started to become boring so I will definitely try this out !
Good timing!
did you notice the additional pattern she slipped in there? Sounded really nice too. 0:25
I am so glad I put so much practice in on those G inversions.
Everytime I play an inversion I remember you saying how important they were going to be....
Thanks Ms.Lisa....
So many people love your vids Lisa! You are such a skilled and generous teacher, thank you. I am a lifetime member of your Pianote site and I love it xxxx
Hello you,
I just wanted to leave you a big thank you, for putting all this content put here. I'm far from bering able to pay a teacher and you make me get up before work to practice for 1h plus!! This enriches my life big time!
I'd really love to see a collab of you and aussie vocal coach, who's my other hero here on TH-cam!
You guys are so special and really giving me hope that the human race isn't the worst as I often perceive it!
Please keep it up!
I'm gonna check out if you have little purchasable lessons somewhere, may I can support you a little bit financially too!
Much love from berlin!

Why does this video feel like the best one on Pianote channel.
@@elricdrifter4467 always trying to one-up ourselves!!
Thank you for all the time you apply to your videos. I enjoy watching and learning new techniques from you 🙂🎹
Lisa,you are amazing, do not ever forget that. Thanks so much, you're mindset makes things that used to look terribly difficult as if they were a walk in the park!
Third time's a charm. I see that I need to pratice this every day. I'm starting on Bach and his C Major Prélude and would like to thank you for all you've done to help me on this journey.
I'm a beginner piano player and have only been "playing" songs thru TH-cam videos but I decided to up my piano game by learning proper piano chords! So glad I found this and will be practicing this everyday!
When i watch this channel >>
* skills improved ✔️
* looks professional even still need learn and practice a lot ✔️
* show a simple ways to make a beautiful performance✔️
Thanks pianote!!!! This channel really helpful and blessed me
I love this practice routine!! I'm getting the hang of it. Thank you!
Same here 😀
I’ve been playing 2 years. Love learning, playing and now finally performing. Thanks for sharing.
Beginner here! I appreciate your explanation (simple, slow,thorough) and see the value in this practice. Glad i found you here. Thank u!
The ONE thing to practice each day... is (1) being appreciative for a teacher as wonderful as you and (2) appreciating the music that heals all who hear. A real big 💗 (........................ and one more 💗)
I just need ‘more pratice”. 😉 She’s a great piano teacher, who makes learning very interesting.
Don't you know pratice make pefect?
Bet that was on purpose!
I saw that right away!!
Good Idea Gbu.
There's an edit button 🤣
I love this exercise! It's challenging but it sounds very pretty. I have saved several other of your tutorials to practice. This is my favorite piano channel.
This is they type of practice technique I’ve been searching for all day!! Thank you very very much!!!
This is exactly what I need to practice and finally found a video to teach me this. I was playing basic chords like how you were playing in your worship songs. I think this will be a great building blocks step in learning to play more "fancy" ;)
Been playing for 50 years and practicing piano is essential to playing it well. She shows fingering and explains theory in here.
I love your videos. I’m teaching myself from scratch and your videos are just what I needed. You explain everything in a way that is easy to understand. Thank you.
Lisa, you're one of my favorite piano teacher on TH-cam. I'm so glad I discovered this channel. 🥰
I really liked the lesson and will begin applying it. Thank you for your engaging, enthusiastic, and joyful teaching. It was entertaining on many levels.
I just found this awesome channel! I'm a 13 years old intermediate pianist and this channel is really helping. Thank you so much
You may also enjoy the channel "piano career academy"
Really Love. Had to watch about 8 times and to create a page notating what you said/did ! I am following another program for learning through the books/songs, but this feels like it will help put the theory into my fingers.
Thank you very much for your efforts to make practicing engaging and fun. I practice all my chords daily and your rythmic playing techniques really helped me move forward. Thanks again , your very much appreciated.
Thanks for this valuable tutorial. I suppose that after mastering this I-vi-V-iv progression in D, we students could move on to the same progression in C, and G, and A, and so on . . .
Girl this is so much stuff to learn, and that never happens! THIS IS SO USEFUL!
Wow, LOVE THIS!!! Thanks, Lisa!! Best channel for piano by far!!!
All your videos are amazing. I’m doing a free trial of Pianote at the moment, and I realise I have to commit to the full membership, it’s so, so good. I have learned new ways to practice and not get bored. I never thought I would be able to just play, and have fun and not get bogged down with classical pieces. Classical is great, but you need to have fun too don’t you? Thank you Pianote.
I am going to work on this everyday. What a great excercise and I don't see how I wouldn't improve so I will just practice it and see what happens. Also I learned so much in this video. I really enjoy learning. So much I don't know regarding piano and music in general.
Again thank you, I look forward to becoming a better student of the piano..
Nice comment, and great idea. I've been playing for 8 months and started on this exercise 7 months ago. Even if progress is slow keep doing this and once it gets easier you'll feel an improvement.
How are you getting on with it?
Lisa is great!
You are wonderful! Engaging, motivating, the whole package!
This is such an excellent exercise where you can build from...to play it smooth and accurately not as simple as it seems at the beginning....I have added it to my everyday practice...you are a great teacher..Thanks!
More PraCtice ahaha😂 Great video! Yep this is particularly useful when 95% of contemporary songs are based on chords I, IV, V and vi😀 Definitely getting the most bang for your buck with your exercise tips here
Glad its helping you out :)
So I can choose any note, make the progression and do the same exercise?
me before i started to play piano: look so fun i will play so many songs!
me after 1 month : 95% do practice 5% play kids songs
TAOISM : “a journey of 1000 miles starts with the first step !!! “
Give it about 8-9 months and you'll be good
@@dmtripreport8542 I think your comment worths millions : why teachers coaches forget often to give time schedule to reach a certain level . I struggle to bring both hands together because my brain is not used to it :
A /
to make my hands work independently !!!
B / capture 2 different melodies at the same time
but I need to give my brain enough time to reach that level and that step varies for each of us but with persistence and motivation I should succeed !! Is that challenge which motivates me the most at the moment !! I studied many years at university to gains degrees .. I am impressed that does nt help me to play with my 2 hands but I know , learning piano enhances for sure my brain physiology and neurology !!! worth it 💯 % !!! Lets do it ! Thanks again ! 🙏🏾🙏🏾👨🏾⚕️
@@Kassiusday I give that time frame as the point where you will have less 'nervous fingers", and things start to move more smoothly. The best piece of advice I got when starting out was not to think of it as two hands working independently, but 10 fingers working together. The first two handed song I could do was the amalie song, and it will definitely give your left hand a workout. If I could go back in time I would probably just drill cannon in D with each hand and slowly put it together(also learn the right hand part with the left hand, great exercise for all the fingers), seems to be one of the songs that really breaks open the mind when trying to use both hands together, I still don't have it perfect.
@@dmtripreport8542 thank you very much is there any other instrument a part drum where hands should reach that coordinate independent skill Found teaches coaches do no insist enough about that challenge specially when starting as adult ! You always learned to do everything with your 2 hands synchronised closely !! Once I thought gosh ! is like playing my bass guitar one hand and the other one my guitar at the same time !! But is exactly that challenge which motivates me to hold on ! Despite frustration !! I should have started piano long time ago ... but bass has always been my beloved instrument ... but now older I am passionate by musical theory chords harmonic etc and piano is the greatest instrument to learn all of that .!! I planning to organise my life around that aim as hobby will wake up early to train ... travel with a 66 keys etc will see where I stand in 5 years and 10 years ! Cheers ! 🥂
I’m a super beginner, and not the youngest in the bunch. And so, “THIS” Every Single Day Practice was awesome to find!!! Love the way you teach. Thank you kindly.
I am really blessed to have you as a piano teacher miss Lisa ,I will sure one day meet you and will give you a thanks giving .
How can I get the piano sheet of this appergio?
*arpeggio
Well finally another daily practice for me, I’m stuck n start to get bored with my daily routine lol will try em tomorrow I promise bcoz tonight I’m not feeling it 🤭😬
Okay but I trust you will get right on this when you can :P!
LOL I have so many practices I don't get time to play!! Hmmmmm
You’re amazing...you’re helping my dreams come true. I appreciate your channel more than you know.
She’s is a great teacher. She’s calm and makes sense. I love her
Who are these 102 people giving this marvellous stuff a thumbs-down? Why even do that? If it's not your thing, just move on. Why be like that? It's not like there's anything offensive here. Puzzled.
Some people just want to see the world burn.
This was maybe recommended and they disliked it because piano is not their thing and they hope it will go away.
The majority of negativity about is not a reflection of the person or content we think it’s related to. The negativity is usually a reflection of the way the person giving the negativity feels about themselves or has failed to realise about themselves.
102 people either don’t want this content or need some help to be happier.
@@addictedfoolgamer1970 I suspect you're right.
I think most of the thumb down people are just jealous of this piano teacher because of her talent. It's just annoying.
Coz they can’t play
Liking *or* disliking a video is better for the content creator than moving on without a rating. The TH-cam algorithm cares about engagement as a whole, so even an extremely disliked video will make money.
Wow... this looks like this covers a lot of things .Look like I have homework.
I like it because seems challenging, interesting and fun and once done I
should be on another level of being a beginner.
You got this! 🧠🔨
One of my favorite lessons from great Lisa! Thank you💓🙏🙏🎶❤️
Lisa, I cannot THANK YOU enough for these online tutorials!!!!! I took piano 🎹 lessons as a young girl, but did not stick with it. Now at 52, I am so enthusiastic about my playing, and you make it really fun to learn and want to practice!!!!!
i can extend this to seventh chords and get a rhythm of 4/4. Very helpful!
I was thinking the same thing. Lol.
ooo good idea!
You left out the part where you're supposed to do this 1-6-5-4 in every key. 🙂
Which songs use this progression?
@@Sebb559 uhhh...PURPLE RAIN my dude. 🎶💜🎸
As someone learning jazz piano, that was my exact thought. Plus, doing this with every chord type (min 7th, maj 7th, dominant, half-diminished, fully diminished, min/major, altered dominant, etc., etc.) in every key. 🤣🤣🤣
Seriously, though, one should start where one is and make it a bit more complicated. "Challenging, but doable" (- Ruslan Sirota) is the sweet spot. And to have fun wherever you are. Otherwise, you end up in the "20 years of practice and never good enough" trap.
The beauty of Lisa's approach is that she constantly reminds one that progressions are not carved in stone. I love jazz and was confused by the predominance of 2 5 1 then I found Charlie Parker, Barry Harris - 6th diminished scale, John Coltrane - Giant Steps, Miles Davis - Witches Brew and to cap it off Pulitzer Prize winner Ornette Coleman with Harmolodics. Music is an expression of the soul it is not defined by mathematics. Maths is simply a language that is used to describe styles of using Natural Vibrations that the human ear appreciates.
What do you mean?....
Once again a super lesson, starting simply and working up to something that gives me hope that I might one day be a piano player. Excellent stuff Lisa.
Lisa, I think this is awesome. A lot of things going on, going in the right direction. Thanks!
If all my teachers were like you I'd be a genius!....
If u were a genius u wouldnt need it
Lisa, you are so beautiful especially lately, and you seem having so much fun in this video! Thank you and Pianote for helping me learn piano myself, I'm practicing really well these days :D
Thank you sooooo much sister. God bless you.
I have been trying to practice chord inversions on my own. My method was boring, so I didn't practice them very often. After watching your tutorial I am looking forward to practicing them. I even practiced them while breakfast was cooking this morning!
What about “upgrading” this exercise by additionally switching hands so that the left hand plays the chords and right hand plays the arpeggios?
Would train both hands more evenly
Yes Yes Yes. Much harder for a beginner but more worth it
Yes I heard that from another teacher online : and it seems also we can create our own training tips // one of mine is to try to play a constant arpeggio rythme on the left while I change rhythm arpeggio chords on the right hand... as I need to get independence of both hands... piano is a great instrument ! I used to play bass and guitar .. since young age .. but never needed independence of both hand is almost the opposite !!!
It’s more easier to count arpeggios 123456
1 is always the new arpeggio.
Is there a video that shows how to determine the finger pattern to use like 1-2-5 vs 1-3-5? Thank you.
It's basically what feels most comfortable with your own trial and error. There are some triads where the first gap near your thumb is smaller, so 1-2-5 makes more sense.
Dear Lisa. As a guitarists I wanted to improve my piano skills and this video really helped me a lot in gaining speed in playing. Thanks a lot.
Love your lessons - I’ve always just read music but now I’m improvising!!!!
Why didn’t I think of these !!!
Thankyou
fact: This is the BEST piano channel on TH-cam
oh wow thank you for the likes im flabbergasted
And the cutest Piano Mentor
Can't wait to see 10M subscribers for this channel 😊
It's really a perfect channel for the music lovers and learners mostly ❤️
I am a beginner and have tried many you tube videos. I have to say that you are the best. You explain it so good and you don't show off like some of the others. Thank you. You have made such a difference. 🎉😊
I’m giving this a 2nd try. With Covid lockdown my passion is to learn the piano. I’m currently practicing on the Nord 6D. Beautiful sounded instrument. Your a awesome teacher. Thank you. 😊
Hello. I’m new to your channel and I’m 10 but I’ve been playing piano since I was 6. I live piano, so to new beginners I really recommend one thing:
Never give up if you fail;
And always work hard to achieve your dreams. My dream is to become a pianist! Thank you Lisa for the lesson because I really enjoyed playing the arapeggios with you :D 😃 I will show this to my friends who also play piano 🎹:))))
Wow. They should call this channel “Lis-anote”. She’s awesome!
Great great exercise, I will definitively add to my daily practice, thank you so much Lisa.
Love your exercises, very helpful. Thanks, Lisa!

Just started playing ,do an hour a day, I'm up to old mac donald, wonder how long its gonna take to get to this level!? I'm figuring a couple of years.
You'd be surprised how quickly you get better when you dedicate one hour a day.
I have been practicing this exercise almost everyday since Oct 23, 2020,.Thank your so much for the wonderful posting" . My right hand play up to three-octaves , so much fun.
