How wonderful a teacher you are ..not a question but an exclamation! I am older(much) and have always wanted to play the piano. My background is with other instruments. Within 15 minutes of viewing your video, I was able to give my first concert to my husband. Thank you so very much for sharing your gifts! Diane

@@Hoffmanacademy is it possible for you to make a game theme like halo theme song or something like that thanks you

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Thanks for the suggestion! We have tutorials for Super Mario and Pokemon, but we don't currently have any other video game theme songs.

after measure 1 my son got it 👁 👄 👁 ❤🎉❤🎉😊

[@cjnadance7773]

I can't apply dynamics to the song in my electronic keyboard. It seems that the volume of the music stays the same. Should I upgrade to a digital piano?

[@Hoffmanacademy]

For the best practicing experience, we'd recommend getting an 88-key digital piano with weighted keys and touch sensitivity, or an acoustic piano.

HELLO!!!😄

[@Hoffmanacademy]

Hi!

[@seancassidy4190]

Ode of Joy is also transposed to C Major.

[@jacobwlodarczyk7208]

Does it start on EE

[@Hoffmanacademy]

For this song, the right hand starts with F# and the left hand starts playing on a D.

[@jacobwlodarczyk7208]

Then I was taught the easy way thank you though

[@aprilteniente9288]

Fun facts: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee is a song that's based on Beethoven's Ode to Joy

[@scarpiodinesh]

This song is inside of my piano where the song bank is and I like the song

[@MJ-st9sq]

but i looked at hoffman’s replies and i thought a computer replied suspicious 🤨 23:03

[@hannahmccall5640]

You say the wrong notes!!! On the first line are fa-fa-sol-la-la-sol-fa-mi-re-re-mi-fa-mi-mi etc...sorry for my bad english

[@Hoffmanacademy]

We're sorry for the confusion! Many people are used to a system of solfège where C is always Do. However, we use a movable solfège instead of a fixed solfège. That means that Do is always the first note of the scale, the “home base” note, no matter what key you're playing in. In the key of C major, Do means C, Re means D, Mi means E, and so forth. However, when you're playing in the key of D major, you start higher because the home base note is D. D is Do, E is Re, F# is Mi, and so forth. It sounds a little confusing, but it actually makes transposing songs very easy. Once you know the solfège for a melody, you can set any note as Do and reproduce the same melody in whatever key you want. To read more about Solfège, you can look at this blog post: www.hoffmanacademy.com/blog/introduction-to-solfege/ . I hope that helps!
