Glad you like it! Did you find the pattern easy or a fun challenge?

Glad the video is providing motivation! It’s too bad the book you found isn’t a great fit. Many piano books don’t include chords above the measures, but will include tempo markings and, depending on the level, changes to related keys. Often we want that transition to be smooth, but I’ve also heard great examples where the abrupt change sounds good. Which type of music are you looking to play and are you using a method book or something else?

Inside the upcoming piano solos collection. 😉 You can play them on either acoustic or digital piano. Sorry ... no free piano lesson gift card. But, if you are interested in piano lessons with me you can find out more in the channel description.

Glad you liked the lesson! Which idea /tip will help you the most in your piano playing?

Great example! 😎 Upbeat piano part with sad lyrics. For a little nerdy info, the reason you see the piano player playing almost only black keys is because it’s in B Major (which has all 5 black keys). 🤓

Ah, lyrics. That’s a whole other topic. 😉 Glad the video helped you out and it’s got you thinking about creating music. 🥳

So how can we relate any kind of Lyrics to Do, .Reh ,Meh , fah So Leh , tthe Do?! .we really want to know how to pick it ALL out on the piano!! ❤️creating any lyrics with with common chords, etc..

Ted, you are mentioning two things. 😉 Solfege (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti) is a way of singing and naming the pitches of notes so you can understand how they are related to each other. Creating lyrics (singing words along with music) is an artform in and of itself. I would recommend searching KZbin for these two topics if you are interested in them. Hope this helps you find the info you are looking for!

👋 Have you played this type of piano scale before?

Yeah we’ve all messed around in piano and played just the black notes, pretty cool tip tho Pentatonic sounds great

Glad you liked it!

That’s awesome! 🥳 And … great title. 😉

@@mustlovemusicpianostudio yes it’s actually written into the soprano line. I didn’t realize it till I watched your video.

Very true! Don’t you love that something so simple can make such interesting sounding music? Did you try the improvisation?

@@mustlovemusicpianostudio Yes. It was fun. I like the idea of moving away from the anchor we tend to establish in the white keys. I'm actually a guitarist that loves to play Blues. Piano is a new endeavor. Very visual in comparison to guitar, but I'm finding my way slowly. I appreciate your approach in teaching and will likely buy some of your material moving forward. I've been serious about it for about a month. Figured out Sirius (Alan Parsons Project) by Ear and working on that at the moment. A few scales, chords and inversions... I have a Yamaha P121 with the pedals, which I really like. Have a great evening.

That's awesome! Glad these videos are helping you start with piano. I'd love to hear more in the upcoming months as you continue to learn!

No worries! I’m glad that this video helped you find a whole new set of notes. 🥳 Just remember we all learn things at different speeds. Sometimes things come easily and sometimes it’s more challenging. I have things that take me (what feels like) FOREVER to learn 😂 so I try to keep that in mind as I’m teaching. When you go back through the video, I’d love to hear what helps you the most. P.S. Happy belated Canadian Thanksgiving! Sorry it took a bit longer to answer your comment. 😉

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. When we played the chord bridges using only 2 notes of the chord (around the 6:30 mark), they sounded the same because I was using the outside notes of how I had played the chords before. If I had played all the note of the A minor and F Major chord inversions like earlier in the video, they both had C on the bottom and A on top. What made them sound different was the middle note of E (A minor) and F (F Major). Later in the video, because we were playing broken chords (notes played individually) our ear can sometimes focus on just the outside notes and not catch the middle note as easily ... like remembering the beginning and ending of a story or movie. I hope this helps!
