Thanks for the piano lessons.

Hi Francesca, At the age of 72 i have just decided to give learning piano a go. I find your style very pleasant and your vids very informative. Although I understand all of what you say and do many of the vids are beyond me (for now) It would be handy if you annotated your vids with beginner , intermediate or advanced or even a number say from 1-10 to indicate what stage of development one should be at before attempting. I recognise that to become really proficient i would be looking at 15 years or so of hard practice so i have set my sights a bit lower! Keep up you briliant work and i wish you every success.

[@anthonyclegg1511]

Same here, how's it going. ♥️🎸

[@dmanh5144]

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Awesome work, and effective technique. I will be revisiting here often.

Please, please, please can you make a tutorial for Hold My Hand by Lady Gaga from Top Gun? I can’t find one anywhere that is the piano accompaniment and I’m dying to learn it. Love your videos! Thank you!!!

[@paul577]

Hey Francesca, I’m blown away after watching your blues beginner video that I actually sound somewhat like a blues pianist, seriously never thought that remotely possible. Huge credits to you for all your hard work, dedication and teaching skills for putting out those videos to help people like myself and so many others with correct fingering and all the fundamentals that a beginner pianist should absolutely be aware of, it’s almost like being spoon fed. I play by ear and have no intention of even trying at this point in my life to attempt learning to read music. Are your courses geared towards playing by ear as well?

[@BitesizePiano]

I have one paid course which is focused on how to read music. I don’t yet have one focused on playing by ear. When someone ‘plays by ear’, it’s only part actually playing by ear, and A LOT of theory knowledge (knowing scales, chords really well etc)

[@ajesver185]

[@johnby1]

well paced, clear instruction...thankyou. For future use, would it be a good idea to practice the hexatonic scale in both hands together?

[@BitesizePiano]

You could as an exercise, but in Blues Piano, you’ll typically really only need to be able to use it for the right hand 🎹

[@SaudickHugo]

Awesome stuff. I'm always excited to watch your videos. I always learn land from it. Last but not least, I would like to ask you to make a video tutorial of how to play "weekend special" by Brenda Fasie.. Positive feedback would by highly appreciated.

Here I have a song suggestion, which is Great Balls of Fire, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Disengage by Kieran Rhodes. Please do these songs i love ur tutorials

[@wilfredricarte2061]

Simple ways to practice blues.

[@johnmarabeas430]

Great stuff! The real takeaway for me, however (being somewhat experienced with playing the blues) was your tidbit having to do with swinging the notes using the mantra ‘hump-TY dump-TY hump-TY dump-TY …”. That’s brilliant! I struggled with swinging notes, and still do at times, but using this silent mantra helps tremendously, having run to my piano and trying it before coming back to comment. Thanks! 😎👍

This is a great lesson thanks Is there any chance you can tell me what fingers to use in the right hand? I’m blind so can’t actually see which ones you’re using

[@PianoSpiceRackwithJim]

If you’re talking about the scale she plays the fingers and order some on C just be sure that your third finger is on the E flat ones that will help you with even flow. Reach out if you have other questions :-)

So is the E in the scale technically an F flat?

[@BitesizePiano]

No. It’s not a diatonic scale, it’s a hexatonic scale. As mentioned in the video, it’s effectively the major pentatonic with an added flattened 3rd. The 4th and 7th aren’t included (the F and B).

[@PianoSpiceRackwithJim]

sounds like you understand enharmonics but the way the scale functions I have to agree with Francesca :-)
