[@chibuzodickson-x3e]

I like the lesson too well

[@rudolfdizon7327]

I want to learn worships songs, thank you very much

[@eduardomagat334]

Thank you kaitlyn l love the way you teach us we love you and GOd bless you.

[@PreachermanPiper]

I used to practice 6 hours daily before a concert. Now I am disabled with my left hand no longer to use. I’m 78 now and so miss sitting at the piano. I love what you’re doing here, helping people to learn to play.

[@nopizzanoglory]

If your right hand still works you can still play the piano. Plenty of options from very low tech (find another person for the left hand part) to more high tech (let the computer play the left hand part) are available. If you have limited usage of your left hand it might be good to know that some keyboards allow you to play chords with a single key, so maybe that could work for you. Don't let a disability stop you from enjoying what you love to do!

[@noahtruth6554]

Right now my practice routine is watching your videos. I don’t play piano but I plan to. I play sax and use piano to hear chords. This video explode in my mind.

[@martymalinowski6352]

Right now my practice routine is 45 minutes every day. I am working through a John Schaum piano 'exercise' book which is not real scales and my first 15 - 20 minutes is spent on that. I bought your recommended "Scales, Chords, Arpeggios & Cadences" book and will start with the real scales when I finish the exercise book. My next 15 - 20 minutes are spent learning songs; currently learning A Whiter Shade of Pale and Moonlight Sonata. After that is free time playing arpeggios, songs I learned years ago and just experimenting with the features of my new Yamaha DGX670B. Thank you for these videos, sometimes we need to refocus and they sure do help!

[@pianoly]

You've got a really great routine there!

[@TheBronxVagrant]

nice, i have the same piano marty. now i need to implement this. thanks for this video pianoly!

[@MikeM91320]

Good video..cureently my routine is a quick warm up mirroring what my hands are doing up and down middle C to G and back. Next is major and minor Chords. Then some hand coordination exercises. After a short rest (and long tones on my trumpet) i will work on exercises in one of the two books I have (beginner books). Next is sight reading of music I want to work on. Then a break (and more trumpet) before playing music. Usually 30 - 60 minutes.

[@enoz.j3506]

What a breath of fresh air you are, wonderfull advice, ive been learning piano for a while, and needed direction, you have given me , just that & i thank you.

[@jamescps8799]

I learned piano when I was student, and teacher focused on all the classical pieces and I just followed to play on the notes, many many years later after I stopped playing, I have no idea what I was playing and what chords are all about and I lost almost all past knowledge of piano. After seeing these videos, I understand the Great way to start learning chord first so that you can make your own music later on with ease and keep the hobby going.

[@PMELKUS]

This really help me. Because of back problems I can only set for about 10 min at a time but I do this 3 or 4 times a day so in all about 30 min of practice per day.

[@pianoly]

That is a great way to handle the back problems. Keep up the great work!

[@hippophile]

My warm-up routine: Some scales. Scales in thirds are much more enjoyable, so I try to add those after the basic ones. Some Mozart trills (probably not all). Some chord sequences, taken from actual pieces, but slowed down so they are a warm-up if necessary. Prefer fun ones. Arpeggios as helpful to any actual pieces I know then the same one(s) in the other hand. Total time c.15min.

[@sugarfreedom]

Right now, my routine is the C Major scale, and all the chords I know. I'm going to apply what i learned here. 😊

[@pianoly]

That's a good start!

[@Mike-zl7ht]

[@Tyler-1203]

Excellent video thanks let’s not forget fingering when learning new pieces, it must be decided at the very beginning when learning separate hands

[@DesertRat332]

I like practicing a different major key every day. Start with the key of F maj on Sunday, go around the circle of 5ths(C-G-D-A-E) Monday thru Friday and end on B maj on Saturday. This also includes playing the major chord inversions and the diatonic chords in all the keys in blocked and broken form up and down the keyboard. Someday, I'll practice the other 5 keys in the circle of 5ths. (lol)

[@eileensauter5056]

I appreciate all you teach us. I for one need a plan on what to do. Step by step.You share that. Thank you.

[@pianoly]

I'm glad it's helpful to you!

[@kenhoneycutt2046]

Working on the scales, chiords and arpeggios the G key in the arpeggios, scales and chords book. When I can play all those competently I’ll move to the next key. Thinking that will give me a good background for continuing my piano learning journey.

[@luisrojas3755]

Hi, there. Right now, my practice routine is to watch your videos and try to internalize every tip or suggestion you make. At the same time, I take down notes of your explanations. I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL.

[@richardocr]

I attempt to normally do a few scales, chords, arpeggios, then attempt a song, though I really need to learn and have a consistent practice plan, please.

[@pianoly]

Sounds like a great routine! Pencil in your calendar each week when you will practice and reward yourself at the end for good work. :)

[@bailey123198]

Miss Kaitlyn, I did not see it addressed in the comments below, But my question is How do you teach lessons? By progressive videos or by a Zoom like method?

[@elenymm]

This is just a video I needed! Thanks

[@pianoly]

Fantastic. Thanks for watching!

[@lyndasoar4345]

What's D/c Chord and how do you play it? thank you....... i will check and sign up for the Free lessons.....

[@samuelrubyvarakumar3493]

Thank you ma'am. Daily practising 2scales. Due to lap of time spending 1hour. For chords I wish to know correct fingers. Thank you 😊

[@pianoly]

Sounds like you've got a good start!

[@mortimersnerd801]

.... yoiur videos are quite helpful... well into geezer-landia and have time on my hands (not as much as I'd like), but as they say: "you're never too olde" ....to learn to tickle the ivories... Ordered a Korg B2, it's not that expensive and has the recommended weighted keys so shouldn't get stale too fast... Should be playihg 'Interstellar' in 2 weeks... we can only wish LOL

[@boazroth927]

Question: could you explain what Dm/C means? I've seen this notation when the letter after the slash is a member of the chord (like Dm/A), which I've taken as a signal to play a second inversion Dm. But here, C is not a part of Dm. Is it really like a Dm7? Help! Thank you for the video.

[@jbentonio]

I think it’s a way of notating that the bass is walking down to the Bb (the chord in the next measure). Dm7 is one way to think of it! The slash chord usually tells you what note to play in the bass or left hand, and it doesn’t have to be a note that’s in the chord, though it usually is.

[@JimsMusicLessons]

As you said, if part of the chord, it's an inversion. And/or it also calls for the note added to the bottom of the chord, (even if the combo is hard to name). In your case you could say it's Dm7 but you need to add the C strictly at the bottom, which I wouldn't do if it just called for Dm7.

[@garylee5544]

slash chords can be an inversion if the slash or bass note is part of the chord as it is in this song. Another thing it could be (especially where the slash bass note isn't part of the main chord) is an extended version of the dominant 7th chord whose root name is the slash or bass note. In this song, Dm/C is made up of the notes c, d, f, a So it could be a C13th chord (where the "missing" 7th note, bflat, belongs to the Bflat chord that follows Dm/C) . The slash chord notation tells the player how to build the chord (play a Dm over a C bass note) rather than telling you that this "variation of a C" chord is a passing chord that creates a descending bass note voicing (bass notes d - > c -> bflat) that links Dm to Bflat.

[@carolallen157]

@@garylee5544 OMG. Your explanation was thorough, but made my pea brain spin! Ha!

[@garylee5544]

@@carolallen157 Sorry about that. For this particular song, Dm/C is an inversion of Dm7 (ie. Dm7/C) so you end up playing that descending bassline. I'm a bit obssessed with finding strange slash chords in other songs, only to figure out later that instead of a D/E chord, it's really an E7 with extra notes to make the chord sound a little "different"

Wonderful🥰👍

[@21299]

If you are the "self determined" type - that is to say, someone who can be both the student AND the master and you can hold yourself to a long term schedule then you will do well, faster. But if you're not, like me, then something that I should have learned decades ago, like all of my scales thoroughly, then I find that I have taken years to accomplish this and frankly I am still at it. I am older and I come from a vanishing world of physical classes and belonging to a "school" of some type. These days it seems that is no longer the "norm". Its complicated. I started playing between 1st and 2nd grades and stuck with it on and off through 11th grade. But I never was a serious student and I never learned my scales (1974 is when I started piano - what the heck have I been doing?) After 1985 life got in the way and I abandoned all musical instruments. I was very active in the band - sax and clarinet mostly. Then in 2017 I picked piano back up where I left off in 1985, which was not that great, although I could read music well enough I had a long way to go. There was once in 1996 when I was determined to go back to piano so I bought a nice big grand piano thinking it would encourage me in some way. But it didn't and that dream faded away again as things do. But now i've been playing and learning like a sponge for going on seven years now and I still have not conquered SCALES! But I can sight read the heck out of almost anything pop oriented, like Elton John, Billie Joel, all the romantic pop stuff, but what I want to play is Chopin. I have several Chopin books but I can't even begin to attempt most of it. The training for classical is much different than pop. Where to begin the conversion???

Hi, I find you piano sessions very interesting. I am interested in the training that you mentioned. Whenever I hear people say "check the link below" I don't know what that means. I am interested in the details of your courses but can get no further. I would be grateful if you could enlighten me please. Thank you.

Chords I learned in one day…no problem. My problem is getting my right hand and left hand to play two entirely different things.

Im just learning all major scales and after im going to learn minor scales

[@pianoly]

Nice work! I definitely recommend doing it that way!

A lot of useful info here. But you missed out the rest in bar two when you played Yesterday. Either that or you only had 3 beats in your first bar.

If you want inspiration .... look up Lucy the Pianist who is hypermobile and suffers with CVS... she is completely blind but in remission from bi-lateral retina-blastoma and is globally developmentally delayed.... Yet her musical talents defy mine or likely anyone's understanding considering her medical challenges.

[@magnusemeritus]

Casuals who want to play pop are fine with that kind of practice volume. To us real nerds, who are into the real legit stuff, the likes of Chopin, Beethoven and Schubert, for us practice is a lifestyle, not a hobby.

You can "play" what you "Practice".

[@Luiz-w5s]

It all depends on what is your goal. No virtuoso ever in history praticed only 1 hour per day. This advice only applys to people who wants to play piano as a hobbie, being a amateaur for life. If your goal is being a professional who do concerts, if you only pratice one hour per day you will never reach the skills to play complex pieces.

[@elias-ee9kn]

If you play everyday for 1 hour constitently i'm pretty sure after a few years you could play any piece you'd want to

[@backtoschool1611]

I practice anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. Even amatures, if they want to play well, will put in thevtime they know they need to sound their best. My rule: Practice until: 1. You have meet your days goals 2. You are just mentaly and/or physically drained.
