WOW! I took piano lessons weekly from age 6 to 15 and still have never been able to just sit down and play chords. I gave up because even with a good foundation in sheet music reading I couldn’t play worship music for church with just chords on a sheet. You’ve blown my mind in just a few minutes and I’m literally in tears. I’ll be practicing a ton now!
I can really relate to this. I had a similar experience. I could do sheet music but tunes i wouldn’t play for people. And I could never sit down and just play by ear. This is a new approach for me at 34 and I’m excited!! Chords are a whole new world!!
The best thing about this channel is not about the skills taught or knowledges told. It's all about the emotional support and the motivation you rarely get in a virtual lesson.

I have been taking piano lessons for past 8 years and never learned how to practice chords and chord progressions. You have explained in a simple form how to practice chord progressions which has inspired me to improve my skills. If I had a teacher like you my level of piano playing would have been much higher by now.
Lisa.. I can’t tell you how helpful this video was. You literally unlocked part of the mystery of this instrument for me when it comes to theory. I’m a Pianote member who has NOT taken full advantage of all the resources you offer & I’m determined to become a REAL member of the Pianote community. It’s videos like this that help me believe I can do it. THANK YOU
Imma be very honest, this is why I like Lisa. A simple D scale, was turned into something so fkin beautiful. You just make me fall in love with the instrument with every video I watch by you. It's not even funny how you take a very simple exercise and by the end of the video you end up makin it sound so beautiful. Really appreciate all your work. And thank you ♥️
Since I found this channel, I have been following your instruction in my daily practice. I never practiced chords and scales because they were not fun. And I never knew why my piano skill never improved. Now I am practicing scales and chords every day. I never knew that it is so much fun to play them. Thank you.
Hi sis! I'm happy to report that I've progressed past the beginner stage of piano playing. I've been focusing on chords with my right hand for the time being; with a little more practice, I'll get better. After seeing this, I realized I needed to put more effort into developing my two hands' finger coordination before attempting chords with both fingers. I'm sure I can achieve a lot with a few more weeks of practice. God bless!
This is exactly why I signed up to Pianote and i haven't looked back. I have gained so many skills in such a short space of time with you guys and I have barely scratched the surface. Thank you so much for bringing such a wonderful gift into my world :-)
When she started going up and down the scale (playing the chords) all I can say was beautiful... beautiful... beautiful!!! Everything in me just crave the sound of the piano. Thanks
Every thing I could say is small to thank your capacity to teach and share your gift. Simply, you’re amazing, my dear Lisa. Thanks a lot and God bless you. Yo
This is encouraging because this is where I'm at. This is part of my practice and seeing you lay the practice out in this way calms me down and tells me I'm headed in the right direction. Thanks Lisa.
I have my grade 8 piano and have never explored the creativity of chords. I've only ever sighted from royal conservatory. This makes so much sense to me, thank you!
I’m a beginner on electric piano. I know the notes and a bunch of chords. I’ve got a few pop songs under my belt already. Playing mostly by ear and sight. I am now subscribed to your channel. I’m going to learn a lot from your videos. Thank you!
Hiya, I would like to thank you for this vid, as it has given me the push I needed to carry on with keyboard practice and playing. I found this very informative, punchy, and with humour and style and I thank you for that. From a 77yr old musician in UK.
What the heck this is such a simple idea and it's so much fun! Thank you for keeping it as simple as possible to allow us as the viewers to have as much freedom as possible when we get past practicing exactly what was presented in the videos!
💐 As a result of your scale and chord variations sounding so much prettier to the ear, I'm spending much more time sitting and practicing. Then after a few days or so, there's that beginner thrill of seeing an improvement 😊 Many thanks 😊
Thank you Ms Lisa for sharing with us your amazing talents with us. I am a total beginner and at 66 years of age, I was thinking that it was much too late, but thanks to you, I am no longer of that opinion. Over the past 6 months I have learned so much from you. I just want to say thank you. I'm retired now and living on a fixed income and being means that I can't to purchase a membership. But I will keep watching and learning from your videos. Thank you so much and happy holidays.
I have watched most of the pianote videos , even just to watch as a newbie because I'm a theory and technique nerd and slow to apply some techniques..but this video alone has helped me sooo much , even when practicing improv or running through the hal Leonard comping books
I can see that these exercises are really going to help my playing. I wish I had discovered this video a couple years ago when I started (in my second attempt to learn the piano). Muchas gracias desde España.
I am currently at the beginning stages of the Piano, this is so very helpful;-) Great way to help expand from scales to chords. Thank you so much for sharing this!
This is exactly what I needed. I'm still learning piano. But I have a lot of notebooks of lyrics, so this will help me get to where I need to be over time. Thank you!
You are such a warm and beautiful communicator, you could sell sand in a desert :). I will work on these chord exercises. It’s what I need because I can play melody and know my scales. Thanks again.
You're my new favourite person! You're providing a really good free service and I can't see "For Sale" signs anywhere. And if you're not the happiest bunny in the world, you're a great actress. Keep up the good work. 😀🎵❤️
I somehow learned how to play the piano - notes and chords - can’t read a note on a music sheet. Putting in this comment just to say that I have never seen someone who “gets” the piano and can explain it better than you. I have gone through most of your lectures already -in my own mind- as I got more sophisticated. Thanks
this is the second video I watch from this channel.. the first one was so helpful and then I came across this one and just had to subscribe. the energy and spirit of the instructor is so motivating. thank you for your helpful videos!!
Im searching for ways to practice and memorise chords. I've tried the method in the video and I think its helping. Thank you very much for the video! Its entertaining and educational.
I do this too, but I go through them all in second inversion, since then I can practise seeing these chords in an inversion. Later I'll do them all in first inversion. I never thought of staying in the same key for a whole week though, so this will be my new trick. I keep my eyes closed.
You played such Lovely Music todey. This is 4 july 2020 tho I dont hold much with " celebratin " the dey. Fer Me this dey is ahnother dey ta RESPECT and Care ahbout the world all of us live in and have been granted the opportunity ta live here. I watched Yer video where You mostly played different cords and they were actually Quite soothing ta ah body. You do make learnin Fun and I RESPECT thet. I would really like ta purchase some of Yer easy learning books and dvds on the Skills You teach. THANK You so much thet You are willin ta set time ahside ta help people. Tho from whet I see I'd suggest you enjoy it Quite well YERSELF.
Wow! Thank you so much! 5:50 was so cool to see a beautiful melody come out of the D Scale. Which I'm sure the other scales will sound beautiful too. I am learning and memorizing the C, D, E and F scales at the moment on my piano accordion and the D Scale(pretty sure all scales) was exactly the same fingering so you definitely helped me out Lisa 🐝🎶
Thank you. Great reminder to take the trouble to do this. I’m good in the I, IV and V but get into trouble elsewhere in the scale the more sharps and flats there are.
Too good to watch and watch and watch ---the simplicity, inspiration the energy, and sincerity in helping people become musical thank you dear madam Lisa and team pianote
So amazing I love this I have looked for so many things on your tube to help me spark that extra level and this video nailed it on the spot because I play by ear and don’t know chords like that I would jus ad lib to a song with notes but this video was so helpful in so many ways thank you so much 😊 🙏
Thanks for the great lessons. I will be trying this one in my next practice session. Only just starting to play at 64y.o. Did the left hand boot camp last night. It was great!!
Thank you! I always receive your tutorials at just the right time. You are one of the only people who can say things in just the right way to get through to me and open me up to a different way of learning. I appreciate you.
Dear Lisa, your vids are obviously the best ever among all the piano tutorial vids I 've been watching. You make every single chord sound as a whole and nurturing piece of music. Please, keep on beeing so inspiring !
Wow! This is a really good lesson. So helpful I could literally cry! This is like a huge ramp you fly off and then when you land you can’t believe quite how far you travelled. Of course it’s a good analogy, that’s how good the lesson is! 😊
I have been learning piano for a couple of years but one thing that I am missing is to be able to play pop music and I guess I need to master chords. I like the way you presented it. I am going to try practicing it and hope it will take me to where I want to be.
Hallo Lisa, I really like your videos, I just started playing a few days ago and I didn't know where to begin coz I am a bigger with nor previous experience, I am requesting that you do a video on how you can find all chord in every scale
I am returning to playing the piano after 30 years. I am classically trained but have a desire to play through chord progressions well. Your videos on how to begin was most helpful! Love your cheerful excitement, such a joy to learn from! Where were you when I was 13!! Thank you for sharing your gift freely with others!!

Great tips.
You are awesome madam. You are making piano easy for us with the way you are teaching . Thanks a ton !!
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else needs to find out about piano lessons online try Lomonting Piano Player Mentor (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.
That exercise alone in all 12 keys for 15 to 30 minutes a day would make you a virtuoso by the end of the year. Love this!
I have been taking piano lessons for past 8 years and never learned how to practice chords and chord progressions.
You have explained in a simple form
how to practice chord progressions which has inspired me to improve my skills.
If I had a teacher like you my level of piano playing would have been much higher by now.
Can you get an adjustable stool?
I’m so happy I’ve found you as a teacher

You can do it Steven 🐳
I wish I had known you when I was seven years old! What a way for today’s kids to learn !
right
You’ll never know how much I have learnt just by watching this video, suddenly, all pieces fell into the right place! Thank you much for this.
Same here!
Imma be very honest, this is why I like Lisa.
A simple D scale, was turned into something so fkin beautiful. You just make me fall in love with the instrument with every video I watch by you.
It's not even funny how you take a very simple exercise and by the end of the video you end up makin it sound so beautiful.
Really appreciate all your work.
And thank you ♥️
Love the way you teach
It was a Cm scale
@@nigeldsouza6088 it was d major
Since I found this channel, I have been following your instruction in my daily practice. I never practiced chords and scales because they were not fun. And I never knew why my piano skill never improved. Now I am practicing scales and chords every day. I never knew that it is so much fun to play them. Thank you.
I wasn’t really taken with this lass. Then I saw so much of my grand daughter in her enthusiasm and now I love her.
Hi sis! I'm happy to report that I've progressed past the beginner stage of piano playing.

When she started going up and down the scale (playing the chords) all I can say was beautiful... beautiful... beautiful!!! Everything in me just crave the sound of the piano. Thanks
Done....slowly but done in the 12 major keys in solid and broken chords. Nice exercises, thanks a lot.
Every thing I could say is small to thank your capacity to teach and share your gift. Simply, you’re amazing, my dear Lisa. Thanks a lot and God bless you. Yo
This is encouraging because this is where I'm at. This is part of my practice and seeing you lay the practice out in this way calms me down and tells me I'm headed in the right direction. Thanks Lisa.
I have my grade 8 piano and have never explored the creativity of chords. I've only ever sighted from royal conservatory. This makes so much sense to me, thank you!
When I hear someone else playing a diatonic chord progression, it's beautiful. When I play it, it sounds like disjointed chords 🤔
She's playing inversions, that's why.
She’s using the sustain pedal✨ She didn’t use inversions in the vid
@@renmomtha-renaissancesoul8849 everything sounds nice with sustain pedal.
you're missing the vodka and tonic. It'll definitely be diatonic after a a few.
LMAO🤣💀
I’m a beginner on electric piano. I know the notes and a bunch of chords. I’ve got a few pop songs under my belt already. Playing mostly by ear and sight. I am now subscribed to your channel. I’m going to learn a lot from your videos. Thank you!

She is Heaven. I've watched a few other teachers online but she explains things well and shows how to use the scales with fingers. Thank you so much.
Wow it's so exciting when chords start to come together. Pop music reveals itself to be (mainly) simple chord progressions.
💐 As a result of your scale and chord variations sounding so much prettier to the ear, I'm spending much more time sitting and practicing. Then after a few days or so, there's that beginner thrill of seeing an improvement 😊 Many thanks 😊
I think the most valuable thing she said was at 1:17. “Whatever you need to do to make this second nature”. This is great and I WILL do this. ❤❤
What an amazing teacher thank you for this lesson!

Loved this chord practise. Haven't mplayed for years and it's all flooding back from just following this video..... Love it :)
I seriously just built the most beautiful chord progression ever thanks to this video. Amazing stuff!

I've played sheet music for going on fifteen years but chords mystify me - this is really helpful thank you!
wow, thanks for this nice video. This is how you gave me an assignment for six months to master all the scales! Very much needed this to compose songs
This is exactly what I needed. I'm still learning piano. But I have a lot of notebooks of lyrics, so this will help me get to where I need to be over time. Thank you!
Dear Madam,my son 11 year old loves your playing and classes. Thank you for sharing this with us !

I was about to give up playing the piano but after seeing this piece. Really make me wanna explore more... It's just amazing... Thank you lisa 😍
