You are just incredible. I just want to spend my life sitting at the piano learning from you. I love your delivery and easy to follow explanations. My playing and music theory knowledge have tripled since I started watching your videos, thank you so much for keeping me inspired!!
Your tutorials are insane! I like the tone of your voice, the way you approach your lessons, your choice of tunes and the little tips you sprinkle in as a true gift for beginners like me. You are absolutely inspiring! Thank you so much (My name is obviously not Beethoven but I do come from Germany and my surname translates into the composer's:)
I really love this song, and the arrangement enhances its charm even more. Thank you for the great tutorial. Did you use a VST for the piano? The sound is so good. It's exactly the captivating sound I've been looking for. Can you share the details?
How much thought goes into your arrangements beforehand vs. just having an immense knowledge bank of voicings and chord substitutions/progressions off the top of your head and playing as you go?
Lovely video, but this song from The Sound of Music has nothing whatsoever to do Christmas. The movie musical is about the von Trapp family who fled the Nazis in Austria. The music is by Rogers and Hammerstein.
Thanks for your comment. You’re correct that the lyrics make no mention of Christmas or the holidays, however the lyrics do mention warm woolen mittens, sleigh bells, snowflakes, silver white winters etc… and so the song can be appropriately performed at Christmas time. The video title has been changed to avoid further confusion! 😄 Enjoy the lesson and happy holidays!
@@PianoGroove True, those are "some of [her] favourite things", albeit among schnitzel with noodles, raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. As for silver white winters, they "melt into springs", which you might think makes it an Easter song. But I concede any mention of a sleigh is good enough, and the fact that songwriters Rogers and Hammerstein were Jewish has no bearing on the matter; so was Irving Berlin (White Christmas) and Mel Tormé (The Christmas Song). Thanks again for a very nice video; I play this song, but influenced by the classic McCoy/Trane version; it's nice to be reminded what else can be done with it.

So lovely...inspiring me to get back to learning! Thx for sharing...watching from North Vancouver, Canada. Regards, Jules.
Love this! Is the sheet available by any chance?

Yes it's the default 'Steinway Grand Piano' sound in Logic Pro X.

Can I please have a pdf of this version?
For me The Christmas Song is way more Christmas and jazzy 😊
Yes that's also a great tune - we have a tutorial on that tune here: th-cam.com/video/ZB95TpfmY5M/w-d-xo.html - enjoy and happy holidays!
So if you could give the same excellent course on that song, I would be grateful 😉
What software are you using to display the keys played and highlighted music sheet above?
Yes! Like if you agree
HOLA
