That was actually really helpful. I’ve wanted to write a song for such a long time but didn’t know how to write the melody but this is so helpful!

[@virginiasanchez2667]

remember to be realistic - you'll have to put in a bit of work whichever system you choose for learning piano I have spent months studying teaching yourself piano and discovered an awesome resource at EasyPianoLessons5.blogspot.com

Exactly 💯

This is what I needed. We were recently assigned to create an original song and perform it in front of the whole school. This helped me a lot. Thanks for making this video

[@iknowimwrongbut4491]

You can also voice the a minor chord to get more of a jazzy sound so A c E turns into G b c e with a bottom a

[@arsantiqua8741]

Too many fifths sound bad though, you need to utilize them in such a way that they actually add to the music. The other guy's comments should come in handy as well.

[@thefoxunleashed939]

They actually hit on something really important. piano is all about learning notes and picking a theme. if you ever wanted to make a song you would have to know what each note sounded like...which also involves combining them into a melody. I've figured this method out in my own time through practice on my own. Simply playing the piano is enough to eventually learn it :)

[@enchantinglysimple]

Great advice, and excellent place to start out, especially for begginners. I've always wanted to write songs, because tunes will randomly come to me, but I've never done anything with it. So this is a wonderful place for me to start. Also, I haven't watched many of your videos, but hoping there are more about song writing and composing a song. Thanks for making the video.

[@PianoteOfficial]

I'm so glad you were able to learn from this video! Have fun with your writing! :)

[@lynnea286]

I think it's a gift that tunes come to you. Please write them down and share with us all. 💖🕊️🎶

[@matakondona.__.]

I don't have any background about music. Idk how to play any instruments. This is the only explanation I needed. With this, I can just play with the keyboard and work my way through. Thanks a lot.

[@jtalk0074]

Yes, you can compose a song. Perhaps not a great one, but it’s a song.

[@dragob5928]

I am composing, too...but it takes me more time because I am writing orchestral music and I change things very often because there is every time something that is good but not perfect.

[@gavinmitchellmusic]

I think that's part of the exercise. It takes 100 badly written songs to get to one solid one

[@blessup367]

@@gavinmitchellmusic Damn imma make that my inspiration quote for now

[@keymaster430]

@@gavinmitchellmusic Yup, you're right. That's a good quote. However, there are also times where you add, cut, add, cut, change here, change there, etc. only to come back your very first idea. Lol. Rick Beato calls it "demo-itis". Sometimes, the very first gut instinct is the best. But that's mainly dealing with writing demos for modern day pop songs. I know it's a totally different ball game with orchestral music.

[@carinaalexandrasimoes89]

If you learn Gymnopedie 3 by Erik Satie that’s exactly what he did, a bunch of chords progression and inverted chords with a easy melody on the right hand, changing octaves, changing starting point note, but sticking to the same group of notes and pattern, and it sounds really beautiful.

[@Dre4m_Fever]

I write songs but I’m just young but still I think of things I want to say then I put it on paper. I look for rhymes or catchy phrases. Check my Chanel

[@madelinesingh4611]

Here is a quick tip 1) come up with a simple first line with a word at the end that isn’t like the,and, or ect 2) go on rhymzone and find rhyming words and make the next line have that rhyme in it Keep doing this for a few lines and then you need a chorus and don’t have rhym after rhyme bc it sounds weird

[@kody4983]

I just word vomit when I’m having a bad/good experience and then use it to figure out the lyrics later when I feel better that way you get the emotion but with a clear head

[@musclecars60]

Definitely take @@madelinesingh4611 's advice because it's very good, but I would add that you can always go back and refine the line. Like write something that rhymes (or nearly rhymes), but as you're writing the song, go back and change the line to fit more into what the song's about if that makes sense.

I just love this KZbin channel I've slowly picked up some really useful things for piano aside from what I learne in my music lesson. I just like how things are kept simple nothing is made overly complex. Its the best piano learning KZbin channel I think it offers something for everyone to learn. I work playing piano with 6 Completely functional fingers and almost every video I've watched on this channel has been useful. I found when I watched other KZbin piano tutorial channels half way through watching a video i found it to be a complete waste of time for me.

[@1d10tcannotmakeusername]

This explains everything about why pop "music" sounds the way it does

[@KINGKROSBYSKINGDOM]

Annoying and catchy

[@jordannow13]

I’ve been writing lyrics since I was 11, but only to every genre of KZbin beats. But now I’m almost 18, I decided to get a keyboard and learn so I can do it in multiple ways.

[@wheeliongamer5197]

I already did this but it’s a nice reminder. You can try to change the chord progressions as well or just change chords or notes randomly that sounds good and you get a bit of a variation

[@eviefrogs777]

I have to write a song by tomorrow for a school assignment and this is the first video so far that has actually helped me at all

[@icareg]

No one is going to read this, but this is an excellent place to start. I started piano as a new year's resolution. I want to start learning improvising, and this is a great place to start. Of course it is very meat & potatoes, but I accept that I wont begin to sound decent for at least another year, and now is a great time to get my songwriting gears turning.

Hey! I'm a Chinese piano teacher , and I also teach my students write songs when they are young , like 4 or 5 . I like pop , jazz , R&B more than classic music . I always tell my student that you need to sing , understand , play the music that near you by . Like ummmmm Justin Bieber , Adele Adkins , Eminem and more more.... If our student don't know how to play life music , how can they do Beethoven ， Chopin‘’s GREAT song ? Like your video , looking forward to more communication~

Question for Pianote: After reviewing this 5 minute video, I think I get the ideas for what you guys tried to teach for beginners. I write down exactly what kind of keys the Left Hand & Right Hand played. It is so interesting. My questions now is what is next? Could you let me know? Thanks.

[@digital945]

First you know white keys or notes. C d e f a g b These are major notes Cords are combined press of three keys with left hand where bass is high or low frequency notes. C major cord =c e g notes You can google for other notes. Then learn key note of song. This is first note or chord of a song Here it is c Major cords and 3 keys combo to press at left hand. Cord progression is making a sequence of chords for any key yo can google. Here she uses c f and a minor and g major. The notes he playing at right hand can be sung vocally with pressing chords. Then you can learn minor chords these use mostly for sad songs.

[@kenmccarty6229]

This is just a foundation for a song. It’s not complete in 5 minutes. Plus there are no words. But it’s a good start. Yet I understand where they were going. One of the best pieces that I’ve ever written took me somewhere between 15 to 20 minutes. That’s all down on paper complete with words. People still don’t believe I wrote it that fast. But I had a witness. It happened while visiting my sister about 20 years ago. I suddenly got the tune in my head. And the words flowed from the music. 4 verses and a chorus all in less than 20 minutes.... Nothing quite this dramatic has happened since, but I typically can write music spontaneously. Sometimes words don’t come until years later, or not at all.

[@PiyaChoudhari]

Nibidy on youtube has taught this simple thing ! I was watching videos every one was woth a programme and music compising apps and I dont have these Injust needed aomethijg very simple to compose a tune harmony melody and lyrics and a short piece of a sing for my cat first melody harmony then lyrics of course let me try this ! Thank you so much you are the best teacher ! Seriously just in less than five minutes I got how to compise kusic melody garminy and tune just a four rthythmic note iatterns and same chord notes in anywas to be added to the chord in that four parted rhthm and join the pieces this is wow ! I am so so so so happy I git the technique obviously there can be many complicated ones rules and all but basic mysic composition is what I wanted without any music composing app I am hinna try this in this month shall make some music piece tune harmony and if possible lyrics in these thirty days everyday a single piece a single kusoc piece then I will join them !
