[@mademaddie5613]

So beautiful, with only 4 simple chords Scott produced a nice rythm , Please give a lesson on that

[@nsiac]

@@PianoteOfficial Please let Scott make a lesson on Pianote for the song he improvised, it’s beautiful! 😍

[@prodbyaye8751]

@@PianoteOfficial promise me ur gonna make a lesson on scotts improv

[@princessl.d.g.]

Wow!!!! I want to learn what Scott did! That sounded beautiful! Oh, MY WORD!

[@hithitt4080]

Hearing Scott cuss after a very, very minor screwup has got to be one of the realest moments all beginner to intermediate players out there recognise lol

[@element-alchemist8875]

Dave: “Can I do the little things like...” Lisa: “I want you to just do the things.” 😂😂😂Love it. IMPROV!!

[@PianoteOfficial]

🙏'

[@patotrevinot]

You are the reason I decided to practice more and more my improvisation in piano :D

[@PianoteOfficial]

and THATS the reason we do what we do :)

[@dracoola55]

Lisa got SUPER attractively excited at 7:00 😂😂 love the video !

[@PianoteOfficial]

Glad to get it to you!

[@Nilslos]

Yes, and also at 3:34 😊😁 The accidential dim chord after that didn’t sound bad as well!

[@enpenguin4776]

Why did Scott played like an actual songs?? And here I am making twinkle, twinkle little stars.

[@PianoteOfficial]

He is a very talented player :P

[@princessl.d.g.]

How I wonder what you are.

[@lindonwalker5500]

I would’ve been an above average piano player if I could’ve had Lisa as a teacher. What an incredible gift and they’re sharing it with us. Makes me want to buy a small piano and get started you know even though I’m in my early 60s I believe I could do it just by watching these videos. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Kiwanuka1]

Yes you can.

[@aliflem1968]

You can. Join Pianote and get heaps of online lessons and live q&A's. Plus lots more. I love Pianote. In one week I learnt more than 2 years as a kid

[@amjPeace]

I'm officially blown away! All three overcame initial hesitation and shared their uniqueness!

[@SKUNK_FPS_Clips]

Your enthusiasm for piano is contagious

[@catiehoppe]

This is such a cool idea! I love how this shows that truly everyone even with basic knowledge can learn to improvise. Also, what they played sounded beautiful!! Jaqui learned soo fast and Scott's improv sounded so beautiful and Dave played so dynamically!

[@kahai99]

Scott's improv is right up my alley. Loved it!

[@PianoteOfficial]

He was really impressive!

[@sarapintilei6219]

I love the way she keeps encouraging all of them when they were playing!!! 😍 I just love her, you great Lisa🥰❤️ keep doing it!!

[@bigbubba4001]

I just ordered a keyboard that will be delivered friday the 25th of June. Never sat at a piano or keyboard before. Been thinking about it for months. Last week i found this channel for the 1st time , between Lisa's brilliant teachings that ive watched over the past week and Scott's amazing playing in this video that I've watched for the first time today, gave me the inspiration to finally order the keyboard and start learning at the age of 50. I hope this new desire and hobby keeps inspiring me to keep going. I love to listen to very beautiful music, and to play a piano would be a dream. Thank you lisa and scott for the inspiration to finally order the keyboard and get this dream started. Im a truck driver and drive all day so before i start driving for the day, ive come to your channel and to your playlist amd listen to it through the speakers in my tractor trailer as I drive down the road. I cant watch them till i get home, but i sure listen closely while driving. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[@vonnajohnson5634]

How fun. It is so inspiring when you make it fun; especially when you include your staff. It feels so personal ; like we are really there in person interacting. Thank you.

[@princessl.d.g.]

Please teach us what Scott did on the piano!!!!!!! Please!!!!!

[@PianoteOfficial]

noted!! :)

[@nsiac]

I second this!!! ❤️

[@ninjacube7770]

This was beautiful!, please can we learn this.

[@nataliescott3416]

Yes please 😆 it was so beautiful!!

[@ThePaw14]

Is there a video ?

[@hesingshesobs]

And this is why improv is important. 3 people, 3 different messages to the world 🌍

[@PianoteOfficial]

Love that!

[@ManuTe93]

I started playing recently and I'm at Jacquie's level. This was such an awesome inspiration, I feel like I could improvise for hours now! Thank you so much for this!

[@PianoteOfficial]

Get to it :)

[@sho9315]

Dave: I have played very little piano Also Dave: Goes full Chopin after Great video guys, thanks!

[@TheGracie710.53]

How does a DRUMMER play that good? No way, you guys are so talented!

[@Home_1]

Lisa you always inspire me❤️

[@PianoteOfficial]

She's bottled inspiration!

[@jennypalayatha2346]

Scott's piano improvisation is...wow

[@mymynavarro3817]

Oh my gosh, I got emotional with Scott’s improvisation... 💕

[@katie230175]

That was amazing.... would love to be able to improvise like that.

[@naimakhan5464]

5:44 Scott’s part was amazing

[@samanthaburns7170]

Please make sheet music for Scott and Dave's pieces so we can learn how to play them! :)

[@mayabautista2923]

Wow!!! This is amazing and Scott sounded so beautiful and magical. Wow

[@yudipitre5720]

I love what Scott played

[@adeniranadeolupeter6652]

Lisa is a great teacher...I discovered this channel recently and I've learned loads of stuff here.

[@patriciaann6380]

Wow all white notes !! So beautiful x

[@PianoteOfficial]

simple but beautiful!

[@sichyanglo2845]

Wow

[@MissyTCA]

Thank you for doing this challenge, Lisa. It’s very inspiring ✨✨✨✨

[@PianoteOfficial]

Happy to inspire! Share anything you create with us!

[@jemaykulitz]

I hope Scott will teach us how he did his improv! Looking forward for the video. 😁

[@stanleysurjanto5572]

teach us Scott’s right hand riffs please that was beautiful

[@aam1192]

This channel is great and I am very thankful for it. May I suggest more lessons in different key signatures? I know we could always transpose the exercises from C Major on our own, but I think it may be good for students, of beginner and intermediate levels, to hear other keys and be able to go along with the video. Then they can enjoy all the beautiful sounds of this instrument and it will keep things fresh and exciting. Also, they will be able to see how the teacher hits other keys, which fingers to use, the way the hand looks striking new chords, and other hand techniques and placements. Thank you again for making these videos.

[@albert56gibbs79]

Really enjoy your teachings and playing Thank You!!

[@lindeehopkins6439]

Love love love all these!!

[@breannab7112]

This literally moved me almost to tears. I loved EVERYTHING! 😩😭😍

[@melissaarandela-collins9135]

This is an amazing challenge! The improv from everyone are very exciting and so inspiring specially Scott's, well done! I hope I can play like this someday 😁

[@Dominique632]

Love this video!! need more of these!!!

[@koothendi]

Me being a self-taught pianist for 7 years, and yet I am out-paced by Dave. It makes sense, because he is learning from Pianote. This KZbin channel is by far, the most amazing channel I have come across!!

[@samuelbeltrami5647]

Try studying jazz piano and you'll become a god in improvisation trust me

[@3iknet327]

I like playing with chords and when i make a mistake i literally say fck so when Scott did I felt that

[@olakolade6656]

ive always loved improvisation! even more than reading sheet music lol. I improvised all the time, and that's how I got good at it, in like 7 months I went from just being able to do 2 or 3 notes at a time, to doing arpeggios and jumps and chords(cause I messed around with the keys and I figured those things out for fun). Lol.But ive been neglecting sheet music so i'm gonna have to go back and practice that :(

[@rickprohaska3949]

Lisa reminds me so much of Joy from Inside Out. Such an amazing cheerleader!!!

[@triciakamerer3544]

I absolutely loved this 💖. Thank you for providing such wonderful inspirational videos 💖
