Good evening mam. Are you giving a certificate after completing the course. I am from India.

[@caseykijk1412]

I've been following this channel for a long time, and I got a keyboard last week. So excited!

[@John-zp3lf]

Awesome.. I'm planning to get mine real soon

[@jigneshbhai6491]

Congratulations 👍

[@Pluto1010]

Have a lot of fun! 🤘

[@yasinkh3492]

👏👏congratulation

[@doubleeagle136]

👍👍 it's true.

[@Alaskaventureswithbrodie]

I have been following this channel for a year now and got my keyboard piano today. My mom played when I was a kid and I lost her 8 years ago. I always wanted a piano since she passed. I played this first lesson and had tears celebrating my mom and wishing she could hear. Look forward to many more! Thank you! ❤

[@counselor1295]

I love the way you teach.....I have made progress following your lessons, and it is SO relaxing to play! I begged for piano lessons as a kid, but no go, and I did end up in band playing clarinet (which taught me to read music---I actually excelled on my clarinet!) I am 65 now and learning piano! Never too late!

[@pbc1951]

71 here, and Just starting the Piano !!! Lisa is a good teacher..

[@hlpimcnfsdl9715]

I hope not. I'm 66.

71 here, and Just starting the Piano !!! Lisa is a good teacher..

[@vijaysrinivasan2088]

Thank you my little sons are watching you teach and are learning. Thank you Ma'am. It's hard to find a good pianist teacher in India in small towns like ours. You are a great blessing 🙌 please keep teaching

[@heidibarlow2613]

Waiting for my 88 key digital piano to arrive and so excited - 2022 is the year I learn at age 42!

[@chrisscharenbroch5961]

Thanks for this lesson Lisa, I have been playing guitar for over 40 years and I've always wanted to play piano so I finally went out and bought one at age 63. You've made this first lesson fun and enjoyable and I look forward to learning more with you.

[@SK-wz4iv]

Good luck!

[@thomasaldrin6603]

With at least 4 camera positions and great audio mix, this is such a professional production and Lisa is such a great and lovely teacher.

[@riverdance2004]

I’l be 69 this year and I’ going to start my piano lessons with you. Just to keep my brain and body (fingers) on the move. I learned a few melodies 3 years ago but got stuck only with these. Now I want to learn more on the piano and think it is better to begin with simple steps. Many thanks for your work to help everyone who is interested in piano lessons for beginners❣️Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪 😃👍💋

[@joemalmsten6773]

Picked up a Yamaha P125 yesterday as part of a Christmas gift (rental). Never played before, at 54 I am excited to learn!!

[@simonasessions3673]

You can do it. 👍🏾

[@EasyOnTheEyes07888]

I'm 53, and I've been playing guitar for a while. This time, I wanted to learn how to play piano as well. And I wanted to start it right. Thank you so much💞

[@bozotheclown935]

Say lady, your "Softly softly", don't panic approach is pretty good. I was a jazz bassist for a few years in the 70's/80's and I have been teaching myself piano for years having abandoned bass. I see a few more of your videos here on KZbin so I might check those out. Great to see people like you trying to introduce piano in a "You can do it" way. Best wishes from Australia...

[@juliobarrios5111]

Hello! I am really enjoying your way of teaching. I am 71 and I never found a piano method that was more enjoyable than yours. it is extremely efficient, easy to follow and practical. I even paid for lessons, but I haven't learned so easy. thank you, Lisa, and besides, you are very charismatic.

[@hoffy1003]

I'm a life long guitar player who's always wanted to get the feel for some simple piano, keyboard skills. THIS is so great. Thanks

[@PianoteOfficial]

[@thanduyiseraylee1041]

Please explain the arpeggio really slowl, you were a bit too fast for a beginner. I've always managed to keep up with you but on this one i can really tell the pattern your hands are following. Please

[@michaelnelson969]

I literally just started practicing 2 weeks ago. So yes, I am a beginner. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, I know it's not easy and takes a lot more time than the video itself. I have been watching your videos and they have been very helpful. The exercises have been fun, with beautiful notes and challenging (at least to me) me to use to both hands simultaneously. So, thank you for helping beginners like me!

[@Aaronius_Maximus]

Best piano teacher on the web! You make the piano so much more exciting and fun. Happy New Year to you and your family! Looking forward to another year of videos from you! :)

[@kathrynfanning5705]

Thanks so much. I took lessons many years ago, but enjoyed playing by ear more. Have not played in 30# years. Got a digital piano for Christmas. Your classes are fantastic! I am very rusty and am looking forward getting back on the saddle an learning new skills!

[@PianoMatronNeeNee]

You’re the best! I’ve been playing for 2 years and finally started performing( in front of people and it’s 😧. Hopefully it gets easier the more I do it. Thanks for sharing this.

[@denniarli]

The best piano teacher! You make us want to learn more!

[@keishlagarcia14]

Started my piano journey. Love this video.

[@johnnybonds2683]

I bought a keyboard 4 days ago, I have been playing guitar for 45 years, I'm okay at it, but I've always wanted to play the piano, and by watching your beginners lessons and the way you present it just inspires me to play more, I look forward to watch all of your videos, Thank you, Thank you Thank you.

[@Shasari]

Lisa, thank you for this video tutorial. Very well presented and I played along with you on my digital piano, and could definitely feel things start to make sense with getting my left & right hands to act independent of eachother on the keys, while playing both hands. Thank you!

[@MrRestorem]

Outstanding, good speed and tempo. Love the way you included importance of being relaxed. Relaxed performers are the ones that make it look so easy. Many thanks

[@gabe415]

Love your enthousiasm! Thank’s!

[@richardgomes5420]

@Pianote: Thanks a lot for your excellent videos. Thanks for keeping saying that it's not trivial, it's far from easy, it requires time and dedication.

[@jhonatanro1]

Muchas gracias por estas clases! Thank you very much for this classes! I'm learning so much with you!

[@szepmiklos-mihaj4160]

This is exactly what i asked for a few weeks ago 😁. Thank you so much!

[@saraboukedjar3854]

I was waiting for this video since FOREVER Thank you soo much! I'm trying to learn on my own and it's not always encouraging to see my self not progressing

[@trinitywave]

Thank you Lisa. Love and light.

[@toddkuykendall3138]

I love music. I played the saxophone when I was in grade school for four years. I am now 56. I have two children that play piano both are very talented but I want to learn how to play and sing. I have tried so many different lessons with other instructors only to come away frustrated. Something just wasn't making sense. I have been following this channel for about a month and somethings are finally breaking through. Thank you!

[@jacobespinola9335]

Thank you!! Merry Christmas

[@KITICA15]

Thank you really loved this to get back into the swing of things

[@kylethomas3477]

Just started piano this week, 1st time watching and loved it! You made it so much enjoyable I had to subscribe while watching this at work 😂. Thanks again!

[@TheYouTubeGame]

I've tried to learn in the past but haven't had the oomph to really commit, but after doing some growing and giving myself a break if I don't get it all quickly, I found it very satisfying to sit down, watch this, and play along. I could feel the frustration I felt before, but I stuck with it and enjoyed playing the song at the end. Thanks for making it easy.

[@petea3562]

I am in week number three and this is one of the best videos that I’ve seen on KZbin for daily practice. This one lesson gave me a glimpse of the big picture after I got relaxed.

[@dianehachez2584]

I m a student since few weeks and I love your structure, lessons xxxx Bravo !

Learning to play was so stressful until I found these videos. Your approach helps clarify so many things that I feel are overlooked to beginners. Thank you!!

This is awesome my left hand is so lazy and this really helped wake it up I was struggling for about 15 minutes with it but it started following my right hand shortly 😀 I couldn't do all exercises yet but I'll get there

your tips are Very helpful

[@gettingitdonewithcarol]

Hi, I'm new here and I love the way you teach. I took piano lessons years ago and don't remember much now. However, I do know all of the keys but having trouble reading notes. I feel your teaching technique is just what I need to get me playing again. New Subscriber

[@MrRestorem]

Very good practice on relax and warm up. Players that make it look easy are relaxed. Many thanks

[@Jason-cm6uh]

I was thinking I needed this today. Thanks! I was doing this warm-up with whole note triads this morning. Weeeiiird

[@elenapanus6638]

Got my Roland yesterday....letz go💙💛

[@rajanvijayudu1337]

Wonderful concept for a beginner like me. Beautiful background 🤠

[@mariab2696]

that is so good. I am trying to get into learning this year some chords, arpeggios and other stuff to be a back up in a music team. I am terrified as I did not do this before, and my rhythm is so basic:) SO this is so helpful and gives me hope that maybe I can do it too :) You are so motivational -thank you:) On the flip side, would it be possible to have a tour of the kitchen? It is absolutely beautiful:) Only it is not too much of a trouble. If it is a YES, t hanging you in advance if not - it is totally fine:). God bless and have a fantastic and safe new year:)

[@marisouza2629]

I just loved this lesson. The music in the end is so melodic and beautiful. Thank you for teaching us, Lisa. ✨✨✨ 🎼…🎶🎶… 💙💙💙…

[@joannpelas5101]

Really helpful 🎉

[@petermcmurray2807]

Thank You, you are so persuasive I always pick something too hard. Very pleased to see that you are using the proper Roland Pitch classes on the keys. It is most offputting when people use the silly Yamaha pitch starting at -1 instead of zero because they only made short key boards when everyone else was using MIDI properly.

[@ezeobisochima9944]

great toturial.

[@critterfriendly9055]

Always good content. :)

[@julianlangdon3456]

Fabulous tuition delivered in a way that's really pleasant and easily understood, thank you ! Edit... 2 weeks daily practice at the first half of the vid only. Only now am I ready to move on and continue with the next exercise.... all the best things come from perseverance folks!

[@bossjade2]

thank you for this i will always watch your video's

[@tejpor]

You make very good videos. I just bought a synthesizer, but I'm playing it for the first time in my life. Thanks to your educational videos, this idea is no longer a dream :)

[@teddylewis7268]

Thank you for this video. You are helping me learn the piano and I appreciate it. One video that I would like to see from you is a side view of your hands as you play. To make sure that I am holding my hands in the correct position. Thank you and God bless.

i needed this thank you, just got my keyboard yesterday, i can play simple triads to sing.. thats all

[@rotflolextreme]

I like this lesson, and while I can pause and rewind, when the arpeggios were introduced I needed to do so several times to catch the new progressions and shapes My right hand was already facing its own new challenge, let alone my left👈🏿🤟🏿🤙🏿👉🏿
