Even though it's challenging, reading music is VERY important for knowing what to play.

[@marcillioficino4663]

That should go without saying.🎹

[@akeelahjerry9600]

Yeah

[@2010utoo]

What a blessing

[@LynetteTheRogue]

This is why I always try to like on any KZbin videos/channels that do educational things like this. It's the best way for them to get paid and be able to continue to run their channel. I'd hate for creators have to stop their channels bc they have to go back to a 9-5 just to pay bills

[@juanbrits9244]

we can Just appreciate the nice people who have the hart and time that compile the free hard work that we receive for free here .

[@avationmusic]

[@zoeynorman]

@@belimage How are things going?

[@abc456f]

Excellent tips. I find the longer I've been into reading music, you start knowing what the notes are by just looking at them. So to all beginners out there, it may seem daunting at first, but the more reading music you do, you'll start to memorize what they are by just looking at them. Kind of like learning the alphabet when you were a child.

[@PianoteOfficial]

Yes exactly! Great tips thank you :)

[@WhozOnfirst]

I’m learning to play the piano at age 60 and I’m having a lot of fun practicing and finding improvement each day. Thank you for your videos in aiding my practice.

[@WendyMisener]

I am a mature adult who used to play piano when I was much younger and have picked up playing and studying again as a very enjoyable hobby. I have been so frustrated with my inability to read and recall notes south of bass clef. Thank you for this! It also helped to know you are not as auto sight reader as I would have imagined. Sometimes I feel like my brain will explode over the sheet music I’m thinking so hard.

[@1deaver]

Me too. So much more fun now

[@KadrianThomas]

I’m not a piano player but I find your content to be very useful and engaging. I love your energy. You are a great teacher.

[@ilenefranco800]

I cannot read notes. I am indeed so happy I found your channel. I was able to play my first piano piece in a week's time. I practiced on a keyboard and once I have memorized the chords I played it on the piano and my Mum asked me where I got the music sheet you cannot read notes and I told her...You Tube. Am truly grateful

[@frankcolon7528]

Hola from Maryland, finally at 65 and with your help I’m learning how to play piano is been part of my bucket list since I started my military carrier and now retired I’m treating my self. Very appreciate on how you teach, so as your Senior student I’m going forward. Very humble thanks

[@PianoteOfficial]

Thank you for watching! Happy practicing :)

[@bingo1232]

I vote that we call her Ms. American National Treasure.

[@DeerLakeMn]

Another Senior student (75) says thanks.

[@debbymiller8828]

Great job explaining ledger lines. I had forgotten about “All cows eat grass” for bass. Now thanks to you, I can use that to help me with the lower lines.

[@realtruth2484]

Every Good Boy Deserves Favor (EGBDF) is for the lines on the treble clef while the space is FACE. It easy to understand through the acronyms. The Bass clef is Good Boy Deserves favor always while the space is All Cow eat grass (ACEG). THIS MADE ME UNDERSTOOD IT EASILY WHEN I WAS LEARNING MINE.

[@garrylearmonth9313]

I'm 59 and just starting my adventure............. I am working on this very topic now actually and this helped me a lot. Thankyou so much for the time and effort you put into ur channel. P. S. If every piano teacher was like you I am sure there would be more people playing the piano, piano teachers have a bad rep haha cheers from Australia.

[@cristacajes]

Thank you so much for sharing this lisa. I am having a head ache already especially on the ledger line. God bless you

[@user-kd4bz3ss8s]

Hi! I'm a russian. I learn english and for my practice to see this chanel. I've learnt playing piano a few years ago, but only now I knowed what notes on the lines are in alphabetical order. It's absolutely convinient for sheet reading. The notes have a diffrent name in post-Soviet countries. Thank you.

[@eugenelayton5231]

Everything you have taught that I have watched is just the right amount of information for me to digest. You don't get sidetracked from the subject and it is just enough for me to mull over and grasp your concept. Thank you for making these. BTW, I'm not learning for piano but for a duet concertina which has chromatic notes on each side and there is some overlap at middle C but generally it's like piano in that left hand is bass and chords while the right hand is for melody and harmony.

[@ColinGoodluck]

Amazing! This is my first week into Piano and you got me playing and reading music. The instruction style is natural and easy to follow.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@belimage]

Yes, your FREE LESSONS are very useful and greatly appreciated! Love it!👍❤

[@showerthoughts9005]

You're adorable. I'm glad I found this channel.

[@marbelz.p6018]

This was great, I have been researching "how can i memorize music fast?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Diyharlotte Essential Dominion - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for discovering how to hand your child the trick to read music notes without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.

[@Claudia-sm9te]

I like your video's so much! The note reading, the technique exercises.. I have a request for a beginners video: an exercise for reading while playing, something where you maybe show a note, leave some time for the viewer to play it and then tell and show us (direct feedback). It can start with a scale from middle C, where we just play along (while you play AND name AND show the notation of the note) to get the hang of it, and after that mixing them all up with some time to think. I have learned the notations of the keys, but it is so hard to read a note and translate it to the right key! Maybe you think it's to simplistic but I think they might be a good addition to your videos on learning to sight read.

[@poppyvanderklugt2236]

Really helped. I think these videos are the best ones to watch because they are broken down and made so simple. Thank you ☺️

[@marshiahawkins1]

Your tips definitely encourage and help me learn! You are such a positive in my practice!

[@annamariaiannacito5291]

I enjoy your videos! Your experience is inspiring and your personality is contagious!

I learnt piano through a local music system used where I live, so the songs I can learn are limited to our local music. I want to venture out and learn a more western styled music (I know how to play a lot of those, but I’ve learnt some through those tutorial videos where you don’t have sight reading, so the arrangements I learnt are simple) so I decided to use my free time and learn sight reading. Wish me luck!
