Why Are Piano Chords EVERYTHING In Music?

[@adachan7589]

With everything you have taught me, I am now transcribing one of my favourite songs. I imagine if one day I have finished it, I may want to show you in one of the Pianote live sessions! Thanks Lisa!

[@LucienNox]

Lisa, your energy and passion for piano is contagious! I wish I had had a piano teacher like you when I was a kid. Thanks for inspiring people like me to want to keep learning and exploring music. 🙏🏽

[@douglasfuqua7082]

I HONESTLY think this vid is the most important one you've ever released. Multi-instrumentalist already know, and now so does everyone else. Great job, Lisa. Always wonderful videos, especially this one. ENJOY, musicians !!!!

[@douglasfuqua7082]

Typo...should be "instrumentalists"....plural

[@giftygoldy450]

Yes u right 👍👍

[@bayareaconsult4115]

I agree with your comment 👍

[@PianoteOfficial]

this is so good to hear! thank you so much for the kind words and I really think this is great stuff

[@douglasfuqua7082]

@@PianoteOfficial You are entirely welcome. This one should be your FLAGSHIP video (I think), and available (perhaps) very early on, in your course(s)... Talk about motivating, clearing messy, complicated stuff up quickly, and providing a clear vision & purpose of all the necessary "hard work" that will certainly follow... It provides an IMMEDIATE clear and USEABLE "glide path" into a student's learning, instead of the customary, long arduous "rote learning" grind so prevalent elsewhere (in other courses). These immediate tools and insights are....priceless. You could re-introduce these concepts, later in the course, in more detail, maybe, and with more examples/demos. I think you have a tremendous opportunity here to throw the "shutters" of keyboard understanding and true ability wide-open !!! ...can't wait to see what you decide. --- Doug ("Crossbow"), BMI, songwriter & composer, multi-instrumentalist

As always, so much love for the way you make things clear and simple ❤❤

[@omarkassem4410]

Very useful video. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I enjoy watching them, even though I don't yet play the piano.

[@mimicotom]

Learn to play, Omar. You won’t regret it and kick yourself for not playing sooner. I started taking lessons at age 60. I am 63 now. It is something I always wanted to do since I was age 10. The half-hour lessons cost me $1,000 per year and I bought a used Roland keyboard for $200. I don’t play for anyone. I play for myself. And I know I will never be as good as Lisa…but I don’t care and no one else will care either. Good luck. Follow your instincts.

[@joedinkinsjr.677]

Excellent vid! I'll show this to my bud - he's a guitar player before piano so we'll both get use from this :D

[@Feedyoursouldaily]

1. Your best vid yet. Thank you so much. 2. What are some suggestions for someone that wants to learn how to play and identify chords? I can read music but I often make "cheat notes" and need to write it out on the page before I play.

[@GoaWay4Sanity]

*I wanted to send you guys a vid of one of your (4) chord progression creations. It was a video where Lisa took various people who worked at Pianote and ask them to create music with (C, F, Am, G)* *where can I send it?*

[@amritsingh358]

Hey!really nice video I play piano too and i wanted to know how do you sing like that? It's beautiful Any tips?

[@wayneftw3791]

IT'S CALLED PIECE AND NOT SONG!!??!? otherwise great video :D

[@Sportingalagrieska]

Take it easy mate, you're stressed out 🤯

[@mfurman]

I disagree. When I played the guitar, the chords were indeed very important for me. The repertoire I learn on the piano allows me just focus on technique and sheet music. No improvisation, no singing and “having fun”. I stopped playing guitar and now I consider it to be an inferior instrument for someone on my level of playing (and interest).

[@neildusseault8404]

When I was a teenager, I created "my own" version of Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata by basically doing what you did here - approaching it not exactly as written but rather a serious of chords. I played this on my keyboard using the strings tone and it sounded very dramatic.

[@PianoteOfficial]

I love that! so good to be able to create your own interpretations and express them

[@sisterrattlebones]

Thank you for this!!! 💕 I used to struggle with memorizing songs, relying strictly on their sheet music. Then several months ago I was using a guitar app and had an Aha moment when I realized I could learn any song as long as I knew the chords. It has opened up my musical world! 🙏🏻 🎹 🎶

[@diogobastos9940]

And I thought writing the chord names above the measure was a "trick that I can't tell anyone about because it's probably cheating". Guess I'm not the only one "cheating" that way (and it's not cheating at all lol).

[@AIRLav]

My Disney book has the Key above the measure. It don't even give notes for the F Clef staff. I take it alot of beginner books do it this way too

[@theodorekorbos2804]

Hi Miss Lisa I want to say thank you so very much for all your postings and lessons. It's teachers like you that make musicians you are a wonderful teacher! PS I'm going to be jamming in the next month best Wishes Always Teddy!!

[@StartEnjoyingPianoPractice]

When I started to have lessons with real piano teacher, she showed me how to make this connection between chords and notes on the sheet. It was like opening my eyes for the first time. That inspired my to create my own yt channel and teach others what I"ve learned. so feel free to check it out :)

[@tamararoland4987]

Yes!!! Once you see the chords everything becomes easier and manageable! This is how I teach. Thanks for putting so clearly!

[@vickyp.1886]

Your singing voice is so beautiful. You should make videos of your singing!

[@irmasam7378]

You are the most inspiring piano teacher ever, and I have had a few of them. I imagine you'd be very kind and patient with your students. I trust that is so. And you"'ve got a beautiful voice too.

[@volo7]

this is super big. I've started relearning piano a few months ago and started labeling notes on my sheet music as chords instead of individual notes whenever they form a broken chord.

I love your method of helping non, (but soon to be), piano players!! The way you break it down in sections, makes it so much easier to understand. And so much less intimidating. And having a charming demeanor, voice and smile, doesn’t hurt either. Thank you for these informative and motivational posts!!

[@victorjonas4934]

Nice one I'm learning

[@onepiano7395]

Wow! I'm a late starting, self teacher. Found this so eye opening. After watching it I went back and reanalysed a piece I'm learning. I had marked out the key signature and obvious major chords and inversions already. This time I worked harder to mark out every chord which had me pick up the 7th chords, suspended inversions, and major chords made up from treble and bass clef notes. End result everything in the piece is made up of chords / broken chords. Looking forward to improving my analysis going forward to improve my sight reading and speed of learning new pieces. I have watched videos with variations of what you said before, but they didn't make it as simple and clear as you have here! Thank you 😊

[@reeno1357]

So now i would need to basically Learn all the Chords that exist, hear a Song, identify its Chords and apply them in my Piano Play right ?

[@JacobPolicediez]

I like your skill Miss Lisa. I also hate reading sheet. That’s why I translate to chords so I can easily play by own version

[@michal7x7]

Beethoven was such a good songwriter.

🙏🙏🙏

[@fishzebra]

Such a great teacher, her enthusiasm is contagious

[@pamt7740]

I play by ear and can only play from chords on my keyboard. I can't read music at all except note by note. If anyone (or anything ) distracts me, it wipes me out. I love music (naturally) but never had the opportunity to have lessons to learn how to play properly. (we barely had enough for food let alone music lessons growing up). These videos are a great help. I'm in my 70's now, but I still like to learn.

[@cakershake]

There is channel called 'Make Pop Music', his latest video is 'Record PRO Vocals From Home'. . .erm, are you two related? You both remind me of eachother on a whole new level and I just had to ask. I mean no malice. Take care.

[@attranssion]

You are so charming when expressing this with your joyful characteristic and star-like singing!

[@poondawg]

This is a great lesson espescially after watching your video on chord inversions! Really great stuff, thank you!

[@codetech5598]

Why didn't Beethoven write the chord names above the measures? He obviously knew what the chords were.

[@Gospelpiano365]

I want to believe that you moved from C# aeolian to C# Phrygian
