This is exactly what I was looking for. Lot's of the other tutorials play John's vocals in the right where as this one is just the chords which is awesome
You have made many, many, many people's dreams of playing the piano come to life!!!!! I don't think you understand the depth of what you do for us! People can now play and sing along in a short time bc of your talent that you've FREELY shared with us!!!! May all YOUR dreams come to life! Love fr Jamaica.
Dear Francesca Thank you for this beautiful piece of music. I am a self taught adult ( old) beginner. I have been practising this for the past 3 weeks and am pleased I can play it - just need to improve in a smoother transition between the different sections. Working on it.. thank you sooo much. You are an awesome teacher..
I’ve watched every Imagine piano tutorial on UA-cam several times and you are definitely the best teacher. A separate graphic of the keys would be helpful but even without it you’re the best. Thank you.
It’s very clearly shown, heard and explained which keys I’m playing. Piano keys don’t light up when pressed, and it’s frustrating that too many people are reliant on that :/ Implementing another program to show light up keys would take up more editing time (and money!), and I want to keep my tutorials free 🎹
Best piano teacher, The way you break it down to allow you to grasp the melody is fantastic as it gives you an understanding of the way it should ge played, Once mastered you can then put your own spin on the way you play. Which you pick up a lot easier. Slows it down to allow you to understand the chords. Credit to you.
Thank you so much! I don't understand why there are dislikes here, it's exactly how it is played, much appreciated @BitesizePiano. Great teacher, so far I'm onto my 5th song, not bad because I don't play often.
There are some things that she doesn’t explain - or that are confusing. Like dropping the g# b accent off the end of the verse. Or how in the left hand of the bridge, the screen shows “f f-e e-d d-c C-G ..” but she only plays the C one time, not twice. But all in all, if you have a decent ear and stick with it, ppl will figure it out and it is nicely done.
Decided randomly today to get back on the keys and try it out for the first time in a few years. This tutorial was the first one I found, knowing Imagine would be an easier one to pick up on, and it could not have been more helpful! Unsure if this is the original arrangement or not, but I loved learning again regardless. This has encouraged me to pick up playing as a habit again!!! Thank you!
This is the first song I learned using this brilliant tutorial. So easy to follow I was playing the song the day I got my piano and was getting competent soon after. I don't usually bother with video YT tutorials and struggle to follow them, but Francesca's method is unique and suitable for all I think.
I think the way you teach a song is very rewarding. I have been playing Imagine all this time wrong. So thank you. I will definitely be listening for more. Its a great learning tool. Again Thank you Rick
Thank you for all your really helpful tutorials, the way you explain the LH & RH and then both together makes it easy to follow and understand and very accessible regardless of what level the viewer is, much appreciated
tnanks you for this lesson. i am french (51 years and beginner) this is very cool and i like your channel..becareful to you and continues it s very cool ..thanks
you are absolutely amazing! thank you so much for everything you do here! the slow walkthrough tutorials along with the music sheets!!! It means the world
Great lesson. I really appreciate this video as I've been trying to learn this song for awhile but this is well taught at a beginner friendly pace and with a great teacher. Thanks.
I loved the way to teach. Thank you so much. For me, you are simply the best teacher piano I ever followed ❤️ ♥️ 💖 thank you for sharing your talents with us 😍😘 God bless you more!! I won't skip the ads, and that's the only way I can you.
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anyone play this song with perfect finger placement as you did. You’ve helped me learn my favorite song from John Lennon. Thank you so much. I look forward to future selections from you. May I request Against the Wind by Bob Seger? Thanks again.
Fantastic ! Thank you.I bought myself a keyboard and have been looking for tutorials this is brilliant I could play it within an hour.You have a nice voice too
Je viens de commencer aujourd'hui tout est ludique. Merci pour les explications et la partition très facile à comprendre. Je n ai plus qu à m entraîner pour finir la chanson et je reviendrai vers vous pour un abonnement car parmi tous les tuttos que j ai trouvé, c est le votre the Best !! For me!!!
Oh this is just fantastic, thank you! Like a good few others here, I'm just starting out, and this was one of first songs I wanted to Learn. 2 days of practice and I've got all the parts down, just need to sync my left and right hands a bit better, and I'm golden. This is by far the best tutorial of the many I've gone through on UA-cam. Shall be rummaging your back catalogue now! 😂 Thank you so much. You're a wonderful teacher.
Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos. Iv tried other instructors but I learn quickly and accurately with you. I appreciate you so much and can't thank you enough !!!
Hey up Francesca, brilliant tutorial. Really straightforward to follow thanks. Is it possible to do a tutorial for " Bridge over troubled water " Many thanks
I really like the way you break down the parts. I’m new to playing piano and you’ve helped me get comfortable with several songs (Hey Jude, Let it be, Imagine). Thank you! I heard Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys play “God Only Knows”. To my untrained ear, it sounded like it could be “BiteSized”. What do you think?
Thank you so much for this! I skimmed through your other videos and I am loving your song selections. Many that I would like to learn. Thanks for the bites💜
I wish having heard the snippet of your voice you had sang through this wonderful lesson..it would help immensely with the timing etc but regardless I'm working my way through it..apart from Jingle Bells this is the first song for me on keyboard..wish I started yrs ago I do however play guitar and write my own songs as I have already written one on keyboard ha ha..unlike you I don't sing that well..stay well and again ty
I began singing in my tutorials shortly after this one! Due to feeling a little self-conscious about it (I receive awful comments about my voice sometimes!).
@@BitesizePiano sorry only just saw this..yes people can be cruel I've never understood why..I until covid ran an open mic Fretz and I encourage everyone because it's nice to do so..I've put a few songs I wrote on UA-cam and on FB and I know I can sing well but it's about the lyrics and I also stopped writing songs and sharing them because of this..but young lady never give them the satisfaction. Sing your heart out because I thought it beautiful and I am sure others do too..x
I m 68 bought my first piano keyboard , this is the first song I’m learning. I’m a guitar player , but a total beginner on piano, your slow tut helps me so Thank u absolutely beautiful ❤
At around the 8:00 mark you show the octave pattern F F-E E-D D-C C-G GG but I can't tell when to play them. I can't figure out how to incorporate it with the right hand doing the AC-F and FAC-D and BD-G. I have tried to watch your hands but still confused. I wish you had stacked them on the screen with blue and orange like some of your other videos. It's still a wonderful tutorial. I am just stuck on that part. Thank you for all the time and effort you out into these very informative and easy to follow instructions
Good morning Francesca! Is it possible to make a tutorial for Love song by Adelle? It's a beautiful song; I would like to sing it again with my own piano accompaniment. Thank you

Love your tutorials! Can you please teach Flame Twin by Norah Jones? I love that song! Thank you
I would love a tutorial for Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. I can't find any that's accurate, and I really love your videos:)
I came across so many different ways of playing this..but it sounds like the original and I will go with this..ty for clear concise tuition
This is exactly what I was looking for. Lot's of the other tutorials play John's vocals in the right where as this one is just the chords which is awesome
Always add the word accompaniment to avoid such videos :)

Thanks I just learned the whole song with an hour and a half worth of work 🎉 10/10
Yay! 🤗🎹
Again, thx for this ! For the life of me, couldn't figure the right way to play the chorus. Peace to you and yours ❤

I am indeed grateful, i had to learn this quickly for my grandfather's birthay surprise song with my uncles! He likes this one a lot
As someone who has recently returned to piano after many years of guitar, your tutorials are a fantastic way to learn. Really enjoying the content.

I really love your playing. My heart becomes softly when I listen to you playing, Please keep it. God bless you.
