The best part in learning as an adult is it was really “You” who really wanted to learn the piano :)

[@ObliviousTeenager]

I’m 27. Jumped on piano a year and a half ago and have never looked back or regretted it. I play every morning and every night before bed. In one year I was able to learn Chopins Waltz in A minor and Pasacagalia-Handel. Pianote helped me through a lot of it and I find myself learning new songs much faster and easier than when I first started.

I'm 68 and learning. I had some lessons as a kid and played a bit over the years but never even knew chords until a year ago. The advantage is that now I'm retired and I have all the time in the world to play so I'm making great progress. Your videos have helped a lot! Thank you for these great lessons!

[@treau3131]

I want to thank you. I am 57 years old and have always wanted to play the piano. I was a trumpet player in high school and still dabble in it. I finally bought a Casio Privia PX-S1100RD which I saw a young lady from Russia named Gamazda use. She started my on this journey. I was pretty much using other KZbin videos in an attempt to learn how to play. I was going to take lessons but just lost my job of 17 years. I found your video 7 days to learning piano. I'm on day six now and I was in tears. I can see the progress and can see the beautiful music I can play. I found this video and your story about the women learning how to play real music made her cry. Yeah that was me as well today. Thank you so much for putting these videos out there. Your message his home. I can do this no matter my age. Thanks again.

I too started at age 60, actually three months before my 61st birthday ~ a treat to myself. I’ve been taking piano lessons now for 3 months (in person) and am elated each time I learn a new song, especially when my initial thought is “oh I’ll never get this!” Thank you for the tip of “knowing what it is” that I want to play and “communicating that” to my teacher … and thank you for the encouragement! Huge and helpful!

[@stevenpatterson794]

Wow! I'm finally advantaged after 70 years. I wonder if I should have waited until I'm 80 and really impressed my friends.? Then again I'm having so much fun now I can hardly bear the excitement ( between naps)! I tell ya though I do have a vision,.... my first national tour when I'm 80! I can see it now. A big bus and driver; an ensuite with room for my walker; and of course my support team; physiotherapist and nurse and audiologist; and of course the nutritionist to help with the latest nootropics. And best of all... "I'm doing it my way! With your help of course. ..... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

I am 62 and started playing piano 2 years ago. I could not read music or play any instrument. Your passion for piano is infectious and inspires me to practice more. I just want to play some songs for my grand kids.

[@typhoontom]

Is it only me or does the sign behind you have a misspelled word? "Practice vs Pratice". As an English teacher in Japan I always teach my students "mistakes are okay" and you are most definitely forgiven! I am addicted to your lessons and you are a super duper piano teacher - and player. Thanks for all these videos you make!! I'm learning slowly but surely. Thank you!!!!

[@villageidiot8718]

Talk about a book older than the student...my mother used to teach using the John Thomas books (circa 1936). She started to teach me when I was seven but my parents divorced and that was the end of the lessons. Just over 20 years ago I came across a Casio at Costco I couldn't refuse, thinking I was going to learn to play it. Since then I've occasionally plinked on it but still can't play ANYTHING. I am currently 68 and have decided to make a real effort before I run out of time. I paused this video and ordered a sustain peddle. I think I'm committed. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll see if this old dog can learn a new trick.

[@kathym.5676]

I'm 57 and started learning to play the piano last year. Online learning has been super helpful in my journey and I absolutely love Lisa's videos. If I could make one more suggestion - start a journal that includes your daily practice plans, challenges, victories, etc. You will go through peaks and valleys of frustration and motivation. Learning the piano (especially if you are learning to read music) is very difficult. It will take years to master this instrument. Having a journal will be a concrete reminder of your progress and it helps to keep one disciplined with practice. Remember - learning is an infinite game. It's incredibly fun and rewarding to hear music created by your own hands.

[@Mtaalas]

Biggest hurdle (as someone who started to play when I was 23) is to motivate yourself to learn the coordination and muscle memory required. And only thing to ensure you'll get that is to PLAY EVERY SINGLE DAY! And to do that, you want to make it as easy and effortless as possible to play. You want to have a digital keyboard that has it's own speakers and sounds, that's powered 24/7 so that every time you hit a key, even if you're just walking past it randomly, it'll make a sound... or to have a "silent piano" (if you can afford a real one) that even if at 11PM you get the urge to play, you don't need to worry about bothering others. etc. You'll lose your will to play if you need to start setting something up, powering up the keyboard, starting up an app on your computer etc... you want all those hurdles out of your way of just playing. Situate the piano in such a place that you're arms distance to it most of the time or that you pass it by multiple times a day while doing stuff around the house... and you'll be just thinking "I'll play a bit before I continue what I was doing..." and it'll create those chances of just randomly getting lost into it and that 2 minutes turns into 2 hours... and you'll love it! And learn to enjoy just the fact that you press buttons and they make interesting sounds. Don't worry about being really great or "learning all these songs"... just enjoy every moment you sit there making some sounds and you'll be spending a lot of time in front of it without you even noticing. And when you spend a lot of time on something, you'll become good at it... you can't avoid it. Never get frustrated, or you won't play. It needs to be fun every time, so don't put goals and achievements of demands on your progress... that way you'll never get frustrated and you'll always be learning and enjoying. And remember to sleep a lot... if you can't do something today, sleep on it before getting frustrated and try again next day... and day after that. And you'll learn, without ever even noticing. This has worked for me wonderfully and I'm somewhat accomplished composer/arranger as of today regardless the fact that I've never taken lessons. I just want to enjoy my time in front of the keyboard... and if I do that, everything else will fall into it's place :) Good luck everyone!

​@@nikkijubilant this is true even for learning a language, if you can't use it every day or frequently enough and don't like it, no amount of teaching or courses will make you get it...

How good are you now compared to 5 years ago. I'm 22 and I just started learning to, in the hope to play all my favorite songs and being independent with both hands.

[@musicmelany]

@@charlottekatakuri1414 I wouldn’t consider myself the best, but I can definitely play more than I expected I would be able to 5 years ago. I was able to play a simple tune with both hands like at the third or fourth week of playing, which is pretty late but you get my point. Now I can play my favorite pieces and it definitely worth the grind and the hours or practice put into it. So, I would say if you stick with it and keep practicing, you will get where you want to be in a matter of time. If you do it correctly, it won’t take long until ur able to play ur favorite songs. I’ve learnt that this channel helps a lot with that. Everyone is different. Hope this helped. Good luck!

I enjoy your videos. I started piano at age 61 and at 65 I still practice every day, also play bass guitar and did play trumpet through high school. While I was still working I would practice every night before bed, because I never knew what time I would be getting off work. Trying to get a group together now, I have been taking my bass over to a piano players house and working with him. Have a guitar player that we are going to try and get together with next week. Love playing music, was in a group in the mid 70's as a bass player. Still using your octive lesson to keep my small hands stretched.

[@natasharostova5859]

I'm in the same boat. Same age, used to play rhythm guitar w/a couple of different bands, decided several years ago to really learn piano & here we are. What fun it is, what glorious, wonderful fun. I content myself by playing along with records, which is a blast in & of itself. Learning to read music at this age is a true adventure.

[@johannesmerten9068]

I'm 33, learning the piano and next year I'm applying at the university of arts and study educational music.

Guitar both hand are mostly strictly connected !

[@Golden_reds]

Well, I am 50 this year and finally decided that my life longing of learning to play the piano needs to be now - not tomorrow. You have fired me up, and your enthusiasm and personality really comes across brilliantly. Then, I looked at the info below and saw the $1 sign up offer. Can't lose, if it works for me, then I'll keep the subscription up. If I find I can't do it...nothing lost. You have given me a green light to just go and try. Wish me luck. Got my piano just 2 weeks ago. Not ever played before.

[@MultiCriticalhit]

Haven't played the piano in 30 years, I'm 36 now and yes I was 6 years when I last played. I must mention that when you learn at a younger age the brain is still 'pruning' out the neural connections that it doesn't 'need'. I purchased a piano this year due to covid because I have more free time at my disposal and came across this KZbin channel and it got me excited as that 6 year old. It all came back to me with a little bit of effort and I have to thank this lady for it, you've ignited a spark I thought I lost but didn't, thank you so so much.

[@chriscopeman8820]

I've been trying to learn piano as an ancient adult (67) for a few years now and the Pianote videos are great. My grandfather used to play Home on the Range when I was young and that's the one song I wanted to learn when I started piano but my teacher wouldn't teach it to me.

[@edbailey7533]

I am 61. I played trumpet in middle and high school and, except for playing Chopsticks on the piano in the band room, that was the sum total of my keyboard experience. I stopped making music after graduating. Last month I bought a keyboard because, dang it, I just wanted to make music again; preferably using an instrument better suited to solo performance than my old trumpet. I've been using a variety of resources--books, KZbin videos, and the like--and have been having a blast! I wish I had kept making music throughout my life instead of taking a 43-year hiatus, but that's water under the bridge. Now I'm focused on revisiting one of the joys of my early days, and embracing a more musical future. Thanks for making these videos available--they're a godsend!

[@natasharostova5859]

When I started reading these comments, I had no idea there'd be so many from people my age. Wow. Music, of course, is ageless, but it's cool to know there are others out there like me. I had to choose between music & horses. Horses won, but that was then. Gave my life to horses for decades; time to move on. Learning to read music at this age has been the adventure of a lifetime. And as you say, these videos are a Godsend. Good luck to everyone. PS: It would be so cool if all Pianote students had a message board or Facebook group or something to share stories, goals, frustrations, etc., wouldn't it? Let's see, we could form a facebook group, figure out a way to do Skype piano band rehearsals, end up writing a song, & somebody would write a book about us & we'd perform virtually for St. Jude's Hospital or troops overseas or Farm Aid, & they'd make our story into a move. That would be cool. I want Annette Benning to play me.

[@Gill3D]

Having worked with people suffering from Alzheimer's, when my husband retired he feared he might go the same way. I had heard that there were two good ways to prevent this - either learn a foreign language or learn a musical instrument. Since we have too many dogs to go abroad, I bought him ten piano lessons as a taster the Christmas before he retired. He loved it, and still does three years later. The teacher asked me if I would like to try, so I did... and I fell in love with the piano immediately. We're not bothered about getting our grades but it's nice to have a few party pieces. So there you have it; I took up the piano at 56, my husband took it up at 64 and we both remain in control of our faculties. And two pianos. And a digital piano. And loads of manuscripts. We're having lots of fun!

I'm 45. Recently started playing piano and already making a decent progress as far as I can tell. The best thing about being an adult is patience, which I have plenty :) Your videos help a LOT and you're a real inspiration. So thank you! ❤

[@lynndarcey7161]

I am 71, and close to my birthday last September, I decided I would put my flutes in their cases for a while and focus on the piano - how to understand and learn improvising and jazz on the piano. Your KZbin video that reviewed which piano to buy helped me decide on a digital piano. I am fascinated! Yes, my brain is moving faster than my fingers, so thank you for the patience reminder!

[@LARKIN5950]

Recently I really embraced the "it's newer too late" attitude and I just bought my first piano :) I'm 28. To anyone reading this that wants to start learning anything... Not just piano, just do it. Age is no limit. I am grateful for your guidance, you're an amazing teacher.

[@jonyjony6775]

I am 12 years old. I am learning playing keyboard but the problem is I can't find a teacher. And now I am watching tutorials on youtube. But I am having problems now . But I know that I can do it. And some of your lessons helping me lot.

[@PianoteOfficial]

We've got lots more coming--- maybe its worth checking out our 7 day trial at pianote.com/trial to see the community there and see how that could help you out!

Jony Jony, you HAVE found a teacher.... :D

Lisa is The Best Teacher! Come join us!

[@robertasmart4396]

Since joining Pianote I have the confidence to play sing I love. I'm working on Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac, Cardigan, Taylor Swift, Right Here Waiting for You by Richard Marks. A wonderful blend of ease and challenge. Sight reading. Inverted chords. Moments of blind panic, struggle and rewarding self discovery. I use my keyboard (unweighted) to soothe my nerves and find my centre. Thankyou Lisa! You are a Joy in my life!

[@kenny553]

Thanks for this. I'm 59 and just bought my first piano. This seems like a great exercise. At this point my head, hands, and fingers can rarely agree on anything lol.

I’m an adult who just started trying to learn piano. I play the guitar, but I don’t read music, and I wanted to learn something new.. I found you on you tube, and I just love your excitement and the way you teach..your personality explodes through the video and your passion is contagious. Thank you for doing what you do❤️

[@MisterMoto125]

Hello Lisa! I have discovered that there has been a piano man living in me for 67 years! Now I find it helpful if I take responsibility to teach him what’s going on and that he understands and then I make him practice! And make him prove to me that he’s learning by extra practice! When he says “I’ve had enough!”, I know I’ve done my job!

[@sumaaann]

I am 29, learning piano from past 2-3 months, all your videos are so motivating. So much love,, keep teaching with the sweet smile and all positivity, thank you so much.❤️❤️❤️

[@Mira3441]

You are so fun!❤ Thanks for being a nice inspiration!

[@Sainfinitum]

Been playing drums for 20 years and decided to try to learn the piano. I have one sitting in my living room, yet is hardly touched. Time for that to change. Your channel has inspired me!!

[@brenohenrique6666]

I started very recently, at 23, and the energy and lessons of these videos keep me going when things gets too repetitive in my simple keyboard practice. Thank you so much for keeping me inspired.

[@kristinepfs]

Diving in at 49!! This video was helpful!! I am mostly new to piano, but not new to music, as a lifelong flute player. I know, though, that this is going to be very, very, very different!! I will definitely be checking out more of your videos!!!

[@precious031767]

Lisa I love you. I am a 53 year old grandmother and always wanted to learn how to play. My granddaughters got a new keyboard for Christmas and the 6 year old is not interested so I will use it. I watched a few of your videos and already made some advances already. Doing the scales practice is harder than it looks with both hands together. Thank you for making these videos. I will keep practicing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@thepianoplayer416]

I had a few lessons before 10 that didn't get anywhere. I restarted in the mid-30s. Starting was the easy part. Getting through technical challenges including sight-reading took a few years. My main problem is family responsibilities with elderly parents that live out of town. Of course we want to spend at least an hour a day practicing but had other things to take care of. When I'm on the keyboard, I feel that I have to push myself to finish the pieces I started learning. There would be a few months in between I would be away from home with no access to a piano.

[@PianoteOfficial]

totally get it! I had a keyboard at my parents place that I would always play for them when I was over there.

[@chrisgrieves5503]

Lisa! You just make sense.. love the new look 🧡🙏

[@janewaigwa4089]

New adult learner from Kenya, thanks for your guidance.

[@harryo1549]

I fit the "never took lessons" scenario; studied a couple of your videos while the recommended keyboard/accessories was in the mail. Got it yesterday and choked up a bit when it came out of the box. I think that many people now being WFH means less trouble finding time to practice. Whatever the case, I find your can-do attitude helpful, and the practice routines practical and rewarding. My wife and 4 young kids are amped, too! (Wife has them all on violin). But something tells me I won't be the only one for long, on piano...

[@percywhite3467]

I come from a musical family, my Dad was semi-pro guitarist used to back the big stars.. I was allowed to go to 1. concert when he played w/Hank Williams jr. .. Hank was 16 , I was 14 & trying to emulate my father on guitar, which didn’t work.. my mother , self taught on organ.. By ear I did rock & roll on organ.. in 1 “c” scale .. I just bought a beginner’s keyboard & just took my first lesson from You!! Wow !! Thankyou Ma’am !! I’m going to enjoy THIS!! I’m a drummer & a biker …. & going to play Keyboard!! I’m 72 w/3. Back surgeries and 2 shoulder surgeries…. Still gonna do it!! Blessings Upon You!!!!

[@sevenlee4318]

You are lucky, My family didn't play any instruments. I played piano since I was 4 and have been for 8 years

[@Rothwellsmith]

Love these exercises and drills - keep them coming Lisa!! You're the Best!!!

[@ianjohnson4987]

Excellent lesson - thanks - just going to have a look at pianonote. Feeling hopeful that I'm not quite past it. Greetings from a 76year old sax and bass-playing Brit.

[@PrakashSubramanya]

Hi I have started to learn Piano for past week and I'm 41. Thanks for the amazing lessons and your enthusiasm for music.

[@maryvenuti8636]

Great enthusiasm and very. Clear and easy instructions !

[@rogeratkinson8186]

I did about six years of lessons when young but never really got to grips with it... I know that I did not practice enough so didn't progress much at all. I just wanted to play. That was 60 years ago.... I did teach myself to play acoustic guitar and sing (folky) and I am now going to try and learn to play piano to accompany myself. I know now that I'm in charge of what I want to learn!! I look forward to your lessons

[@Rmomar]

You have helped me understand some things with my Adult Piano Journey. It has been Wonderful so far... I strongly hope I will Play for you someday. ❤️

[@joytekb]

46 and hooked with this channel ,on a way to buy my first e. Piano and with dream to play all those great songs in couple of months

[@Chappis91]

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours. I instantly subscribed! Your tone and way of communication is very genuine and concise. You made me feel so comfortable every step of the way through your teaching. I appreciate so much what you do. These lessons are a blessing and so valuable. Thank you so much for putting them out!

[@subhashisghose]

This lesson seems to be helpful for Hand Independence Practice. Thank You for creating this lesson.

[@julietissue8528]

I signed up for pianote a couple of months ago and it is great! I have already learned so much. If you're wavering, sign up! It is NOT like taking piano lessons in the 1970's when it was like homework. You actually get to make music!

[@Hemond1]

I'm 67 and started playing 1 year ago. Self taught by using KZbin. My repetoire at present is 2 Boogie Woogie pieces, Great Balls of Fire, John Legends's All of Me, a couple of arpeggios, and currently working on Einaudi's Una Mattina and Nuvole Bianche.

[@wallewaltz]

Started when the lockdown started. I'm 21, I learned the chords on piano first by just watching people play piano, it's usually always that same shape. Saw the chords once a couple years ago and somehow I just knew the chords on the piano. I can play the chords and sing over it, I'm working on playing both hands at once. This channel helps a lot!

[@cloud-ux5lj]

I'm 21 as well. I already took grade 1 in piano lesson but wasn't able to continue due to studies and school activities. How are you doing so far? I also want to go back to learning to it because I feel like its going to take me away from all these stress (idk what to call it, i guess the isolation effect).

[@wallewaltz]

Mother of Potato I’m doing good, working on both hands I don’t practice like everyday anymore because of homework but I still try to practice a couple times a week

[@fivebyfivesound]

Being in the room as my mom taught piano lessons is one of my first memories. I was maybe one and a half years old. She never pushed me to play (though singing in the childrens' choir at church was mandatory : ), so when I was ready as a teenager, I loved every minute of it. I was self-directed at that point b/c I'd been playing drums and reading music notation for a few years, so I felt confident that I could figure some things out on my own. I only learned the very basics, but it's one of my best memories of playing music--sitting in our church late in the evening and just playing scales, exercises and beginner songs from a method book. Love your communication style and the way you structure your lessons! Going to recommend your channel to a friend. Thank you!

[@BizarreAvenir]

My first keyboard arrives this week. I am 26 starting it. Never had music lessons before. Started watching music theory videos and ordered a book on it. These exercises will be the first I'll do when it arrives.

[@Onslaught707]

Such a great instructor! 👍👍

[@actie-reactie]

I am 56 , started playing last year december.... (my girlfriend plays piano very well)... bought a yamaha psr e363....just to see if I liked it...and I did....practice frequently, and liked it so much I purchased a kawai mp11se..... so now I have no choice anymore....😄

[@DLGamer8]

This beautiful woman was truly born to teach. Thanks, and success as you deserve

[@mahendra4352]

I took piano lessons during Elementary school. The songs at that time were European classic/"Beethovenish". I absoluuuutely couldn't grasp what those songs are about and I gave up. 30 years later, I have favorite singers & happened to find piano covers of their songs. Now I KNOW what I want to play and want to start again.

[@brianfarrelly7757]

So gladI found you, I still suck at piano, but in saying that you have started me on my way and now in my 75th year I can do things now I never ever thought I was capable of.
