Your videos teach me so much!! I've loved the twilight songs you've done

[@BitesizePiano]

@@maarkustyndale3862 I'm pleased you find them helpful :)

[@JohnSmith-qv3db]

I'm still at the 'beginner' stage but love watching you. This looks like something I could try as well. Thanks.

[@JTlifecoaching]

I just watched more than 10 piano lesson videos but I found yours the best! Very simply articulated, precise, and realistic as well.

[@larryhiigel1680]

This is probably the best, most straightforward lesson I have ever seen on practicing chords. Thanks for giving me something new to struggle with cuz that's the only way to get better.

[@upuiaropati6839]

For a new piano player like me , I’m so thankful for your non selfishness and patience to share all these piano skills for beginners like myself. Well done and I’ll keep on watching and learn from these lessons. God bless you.

[@guitmanful]

When I was a kid I was playing piano, and got quite good at it, but reached late teens, and had other interests, so the piano skills faded. Now, after playing guitar for 25 years, want to restore those piano skills. Thank-you for this video, I found it to be an excellent exercise, and proved to be very beneficial in my piano practice!!!

[@jackster1212]

Commenting because my situation is much like yours. I had a few years of piano lessons as a kid, didn’t even make it to third grade before I quit in favor of getting outside to play with my friends. The day I told my mom I wanted to bail, she said, “You don’t understand yet how much you’ll regret this.” Decades later, she was right. I picked up the guitar in late high school and have played that now for more than 30 years. But the piano itch was still there. I started taking lessons via webcam (surprisingly effective) during the covid lockdowns. And now, any time we travel, I can’t wait to get back to our piano. This teacher above is one of the best and most patient out there. Also check out Pianote. (I’ve got my faves for guitar too, e.g. Paul Davids and another guy, I think his channel is the Guitar Nomad or something like that). One other footnote I want to add: I’m convinced that, while for some learning with technique first is the right way to go, for others… perhaps the majority, and especially with kids… the best way to start is by teaching them how to play songs they love. Let them back into theory. Very much the way we learn languages. They’re much less likely to quit and much more likely to find their love for the instrument and music early.

[@cestrell]

First, thank you very much for this. When, "self-teaching," it helps to have something to actually practice, in order to create and maintain good habits. Second, at around the 14:55 mark I started to hear violin in my head as an accompaniment to the exercise; the start of a simple yet magnificent classical piece. I recorded myself humming it, in order to have a dear friend of mine who plays violin, and another who plays cello, help me create something magical with this scale. Thank you ever so much for the influence while teaching me.

[@BitesizePiano]

That's awesome, pleased it sparked something :)

[@aminwilliams6280]

Hi my name is Amin from Cape Town love your method I am 72 tried all different methods on KZbin yours is the best will use all . Thank you

[@unworthyServant08]

Thank you so much for this video! I was looking for routines to get truly familiar with chords on the piano, but some were topical at best, and others would just stop at telling me about the different chord shapes for the different qualities, nothing practical. This is certainly a set of practical exercises that I can put to use immediately, and even make it musical by exploring different progressions. I'm truly grateful!

[@BitesizePiano]

So pleased you found it helpful 😊

[@omxviz6753]

I thought i’d share this with you, i’ve been playing piano for nearly 5 years now and i’m a grade 8 player and i sometimes forget some of my basic theory and you’re the perfect person to go to as you put it so simply. Several of your videos have helped me through GCSE’s and i appreciate that thoroughly - thank you!

[@djadjaw5680]

this is my 31st day of learning piano, I'm overwhelmed by the chords inversions, getting frustrated as my confidence took a hit. I'm going to give it a try for 30 days. Thank you for your lovely content!! :D

[@earthcitizen57]

This has been one of the most valuable piano tutorial I've found (for my level and objective) but all your videos are professional, clearly explained and helpful. Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge and experience. God bless you.

[@BitesizePiano]

You're very welcome! :)

[@doretteroach3576]

Wow this is great I learn so much from You keep up the the good work. I will be using this daily to practice. God bless you.

[@bestofviralshorts28]

This channel definitely has to be the best channel for anyone thinking about learning how to play the piano

[@BitesizePiano]

I’m pleased you think so!

[@gliuto]

Grazie davvero per questo esercizio, ci sarà da lavorarci tantissimo, ma il suo enorme potenziale si capisce fin da subito. Non conoscevo il tuo canale, mi ci iscrivo senza dubbio. Grande!

[@Almightservant]

Besides being gorgeous, you are a very good teacher. Thanks for the lesson. Greetings from Brazil.

[@suiluj55]

Hello Bitezise. I am Mexican (CDMX). I congratulate you on your channel. I do not speak English but the little I understand has helped me a lot. Thank you

[@BitesizePiano]

You're most welcome, pleased you're finding my channel helpful :)

[@dan_0025]

Amazing! By the way, I learnt fur Elise today from one of your videos and my parents are pretty impressed so thanks! 😄👍

[@BitesizePiano]

Amazing! Well done :)

[@catarinatang980]

Jam packed info!!! Thanks again you've made inversion practice much easier and fun!!!

[@annelowe2691]

At last I’ve come across your tutorials. I love that you are teaching sequentially. Both my parents were professional jazz pianists. My two sisters and I were trained classically. Piano, violin and me ‘cello. I’m also a professional contemporary vocalist and my biggest regret was not studying piano when I was strongly encouraged to. So my time IS NOW. I want to learn to accompany my self so as not reliant on others for gigs. Your teaching is concise and doesn’t assume one should comprehend immediately hence your great one step at a time exercises. I’m a hungry student. Thank you.

[@kithansen8685]

Thanks!

[@Healmyheart68]

Yes need more these kind of videos to improve our technique

[@davidsmith-53rd]

Thanks

[@durden1621]

You’re amazing thank you for all your hard work. Haven’t played on my piano for years and you gave me the motivation to start playing again and get back into it with ease. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@BitesizePiano]

I'm so Pleased, and well done for getting back into playing :)

[@yvesdurand448]

thank you for making me discover the piano with your methods !! you are brilliant !!

[@BitesizePiano]

Glad you like them!

[@man0sticks]

Rather than going from the major key to its parallel minor, with a completely different key signature, it makes more sense to study a major key and its relative minor keys within the same key signature. Do a key a day going in circle of fourths.

[@BitesizePiano]

As explained in the lesson, I chose the parallel minor as it presents a new set of chords, else you’re playing the exact same chords as C major…so it doesn’t make more sense in terms of chord variation. Practising SCALES makes sense to play the relative major/minor, encouraging to think of them in pairs. This is just a chord exercise.

[@worrellrobinson4332]

A great lesson in preparatory scales and chords thank you loads keep up the good work kind regards WF Robinson.

[@brianburtch6757]

All your videos are great! I love how you are mixing some technical exercises with pop tunes. Keep it up! Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next!

[@BitesizePiano]

[@stanleywilliamsbigdreams7867]

This is great for me, who wants to rediscover piano after a couple decades away. Also I totally see how this small scope lesson style fits a busy professional who still wants to get back into it. Lastly, that harmonic minor scale is luscious

[@maybinmusonda915]

You are amazing, I liked inversion progression.

She hardly needs your view on her looks. That’s not why she is there

[@PackerElvis]

I love your easy explanations of the Piano Man song by Billy Joel. Thank you!

[@anthonyd7889]

I really like this explanation and demonstration. This looks like the foundation for much more complex exercises as these become easier to perform... change keys, go backwards and forwards, and leap frog positions just to name a few. I can think of 3 or 4 other variations that can apply. Thanks for the putting this video together. 🙂

[@BitesizePiano]

Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

[@davidleesn]

Well done for the hard work of putting this together so clearly. For the very young, I teach them to master broken chords then arpeggios with both hands in root position plus solfataras ( which teach them the degrees and mode of the scale !

[@davidleesn]

) . I would move them as soon as the time is right after that aural training to B major (Chopin’s preference) as the white keys only put them in the wrong trajectory in learning major and minor 3rd INTERVALS and most methods staying in C, G and F majors for early years leave much habitual confusion to finger placements... like using the wrong ends ( especially of Japanese ) chopsticks for eating !

[@Manellamusic]

I like this. Good exercises for clarity on the piano !👏

[@jimredner2649]

Thank you for all your teaching videos! This one in particular hit home with me as I have been both trying to learn new chords and to get quicker and smoother with chord inversions. Thank you for all that you do!
