Best feeling ever is learning from a maestro herself

*maestra

[@Screw064]

Bro I had no idea this was even her channel until I read this comment bruh

[@chilllyeyeay2094]

Shoutout swizz

[@thech0sen0ne50]

I can only fathom the vibe in person this is like therapy with music instructions crzy

[@droombazuiner]

This is like learning how to pray from Jesus himself. I love this so much.

who else was waiting for her to just say “hmmmmmm” 🥰

[@edsonk710]

Yessssss

[@tokyobby1699]

Rttt😭😭😭😭I was too confused

[@mikejwomack9597]

She would Definitely be the coolest music teacher ever. My music teacher was so lame

[@jpg1392]

My piano teacher was lame too. Always rushing me, and making me feel stupid when I asked questions 😔. I didn’t even continue with piano after her, but Alicia inspires me to go back to it♥️

[@mikemailei4491]

😂😂 i remember my piano teacher used to fall asleep lol on me. Rest her soul. I quit after one year.

[@IvanMtl]

So beautiful, and so talented! Those chords are Cmaj7 (G-B-E), Bmin7 (which is like a D major chord 1st inversion F#-A-D over a B bass), Amin7 (E-G-C), and GMaj7 (D-F#-B) in case some people have trouble seeing what Alicia is doing with her right hand. The left hand bass part is just walking down C, B, A, G.

[@voiceteacherjulie2054]

Thank you. When she didn’t say major 7 I died a little inside

[@stephanieawote537]

I'm a classical pianist but this has and will forever be my favourite song to play on the piano. So glad Alicia made this video cause it's such a beautiful melody.

[@fearnoevil7168]

WOW! I'm shocked. You do not see many A-List artists just giving themselves and time to the public. And obviously many do not know about this channel or you would have millions of followers. But yeah, doing on the fly music lectures with intimate details puts you in another class. I am an old-G male, but I love some Alicia Keys....and I have a few on my Karaoke list...lol. Oh, and as a DJ, you bring them to the dance floor to...👍

I don't love her bcos she's famous, I just love how she's herself, so natural, so pure, and seems easy to get along with. This video really defines how cool she is with us her fans. She treats us fans like family. I remember back in school, when am about to perform on stage, my colleagues named me after her. God bless you Alicia 😘

That’s what I call an ALL AROUND MUSICIAN!!! You go girl!!! You truly rock!!! I genuinely respect you as a musician. You read music, play by ear, write notational music, lyrics and more. May you live forever with perfect health and strength and plenty more success in all your endeavors along with your family!!!

when she started singing I could barely believe it My heart is still recovering

[@kq8499]

Wow Alicia , i just learnt your song on my new piano . My husbamd gote for my birthdays; its so nice of you to give your time like that to your fans. Thankyou so much You are a beautiful soul❤

[@porte568]

This is how you learn music, no teacher or book can take the place of what comes from the soul. The piano is just an extension of what the soul expresses

I started practicing piano 3 days ago. and today I'm sitting there and practicing my favorite song with you personally. I have goosebumps all over my body. I grew up listening to your songs and today I'm 31 and I still love them.❤️❤️

[@karlacanales1542]

I’ve always wanted to learn to play piano and at 26 I’m finally learning and my goal is to learn this song. I love this song so much, since I was a kid. Good luck on your journey 😊 you’re never too old to learn something❤️❤️

[@teamjoffery]

I have been moved to tears that Alicia ACTUAL Keys is teaching me the song that floored me my whole life!

[@RooibaardBoerseun]

Don’t you just love how she makes you feel right at home!

[@pattylung620]

How I wish to see more of these stories behind the music from Alicia. Alicia has this magic of storytelling while playing.

[@bwazi5455]

It’s like watching magic.! I got so mesmerised seeing a genius in action showing so much talent. If I ain’t got you is such an emotional song and not surprising as it was written to the shock impulse of Aaliyah’s death. It’s such a beautiful song and I remembered loving it instantly at first hearing. Not many songs hit you that way as sometimes it takes a few listening to song before being blown away.

[@arthurn8952]

She's the realest artist out there

[@Martinbeef]

She’s an inspiration, and artists like her and Elton John who are incredible pianists like to share how they play, even though they’re extremely busy people. We are blessed.

[@BDrones]

I started playing piano just under a year ago as you were one of my most inspiration‘s to start this however I am 42 and I have had RP all my life which is a retinal disease I am now losing my vision and my instructor dropped me and I love losing everything I love to do because everything I love to do requires eyesight I still have some site remaining and I practice 6 to 7 hours a day however unfortunately there is no instructor that is willing to teach someone in my condition I wish I could see your hands however I am listening closely to what you were saying and applying everything I can to try to duplicate the beautiful, inspiring sound you put out. I will not give up on the piano I will succeedNo matter how many times they tell me I can’t I’m going to continue to practice all day every day thank you four just being someone who understands that playing instrument can bring a happiness someone has never felt before and I wouldn’t have known about it until I heard about you.

[@Toxikk42]

Yo no clue if you are serious but try looking for a blind piano player, he might be able to teach you on how to play by ear and feel, instead of sight

[@ayesha8809]

You are inspiring me to get back into piano and really put my heart into it. I think its amazing what you're doing and I hope you find a teacher who is willing to work with you. Music is learned by the ear not just by sight. If the teacher dropped you as a student then I don't think they were well suited to be a teacher in the first place. Keep on doing you you're killing it. I pray for so much peace and joy for you. Also someone else replied to your post as Alicia Keys but that is a fake account its not verified so I would say don't engage that person.

[@jeffjean5965]

Alicia is so damn deep. She's been 100, since she came out the game. They tried to change her but she stayed in her lane and made her own way. Shes a LEGEND.

[@IamDB3]

I remember seeing Alicia Keys for the time ever, on a so so def show, when she was 15 years old, braids in the hair, playing little drummer boy. I fell in love with her, I fell in love with music. I was 16 at the time. These days, its kinda hard to watch her, knowing swiss ended up being the lucky one.😆 I know, hilariously foolish, but at 16, I wanted to make music, just to one day at least do a song with her. 😂🤣. I knew she would be great one day, and here we are! Congrats on all of your success and may God continue to bless you and your family🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@jradMIT]

Wow, this has always been one of most cherished songs I’ve ever heard. I might sound lame, but it literally would send chills down my spine sometimes when I would hear it. I hadn’t heard about the inspiration to this song, but OMG, I’m tearing up hearing about how AK who didn’t even know Aaleeyah personally, felt such a deep connection to her loss and was so inspired to write this one night after she heard. Such a beautiful song that captures the essence of true love, the ephemeral nature of life, the suffering and joy all in one, what it truly means to live and what to live for. And to top it off she took a basic I - ii- iii- IV progression and wove an ornate tapestry of sound which encapsulates life and love itself, distilling it from the ubiquitous materialism into a simple yet powerfully true meaning. I’m in awe, almost like hearing the song for the first time again. I can’t thank you enough Mrs. Keys, a true artist, she doesn’t just entertain, she moves you to deeply feel something very real, and that is as priceless as the “you” in this song.

[@luisalberto8107]

This song, A Dream by Debarge and Moonlight Sonata made me go buy a keyboard today and learn to play.... Tienes la voz de una Angel.

Alicia, you’re such a good person, so generous, so kind. You’re a real star, you’re beautiful, and you look so close to your fans. I’m from France, I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years soon. But I missed something : I could’nt play your songs on piano ! Now I have been learning piano for a couple of years and I enjoy trying to play your songs. Not perfectly of course but I have such fun ! You take the time to teach your instrument. Thank you so much for the lesson. Thank you for all you do !

[@j.j.1064]

Thanks so much. At 71 it's difficult to learn new tricks and with a baritone voice I can't play an acoustic piano. It has to be a stage. The only way I can sing is to transpose to get anywhere near the range. This is one of my favourite songs. I digress a little. I'm still waiting to hear you play the rest of moonlight sonata. 3rd movement. I hope to hear it before I get too old. Bless you.
