    Best piano site on UA-cam! I’ve only had my digital piano for three months and I’ve learned more theory and technique from your channel than any other. You’ve helped me come up with my own chord progressions and riffs, and given me confidence to improvise. Piano can be a daunting instrument if you think of the skill players at the highest level have achieved, but your lessons help to keep it simple and encourage people to focus on slowly adding a few new things to one’s repertoire. Before you know it, you look back at all you’ve learned and you’re kind of blown away at how far you’ve come in a relatively short amount of time and that inspires you to keep learning more. Thanks again for all you do at Pianote to make us all better musicians! 🙏🏼

    I am always amazed at how different note combinations will elicit a different response from deep in the mind. For example, an E flat by itself is just a note...with no feeling attached to it. BUT...place it between C and G, and you get that sad feeling of a minor chord. We are truly wonderfully made. This is terrific example of how combinations of notes can move that "emotion meter" back and forth.

    Any tips or tricks for choosing non-diatonic notes to pepper in without them sounding too discordant? Like for instance, does it help to do an two octave voicing of the out-of-scale note, to reinforce it and not make it sound as out of place? And does it generally help to play them at least one full octave above or below the other notes so the incongruent intervals aren't as nasty?
    Are there certain degrees of a scale where a sharp or flat is typically more acceptable to our ears?

      Not at all. you will never use the pitchbend if you are focused on playing and learning piano sounds. pitchbends will only be important if you want to do synthesizer sounds and solos (which are lots of fun)
