@@alanwander7277 it's just harder to shift to multiple keys and back on the piano...but EASY on the guitar because the guitar's lower strings are tuned to perfect 4th or inverted 5th.

I use to practice scales for hours and hours. Just out of curiosity I watched this video and it blown my mind away. I never even guessed that scales can sound this good. Thank u for sharing this with us.
Great video! But I would like to add this advice to the practicing pianists: Don’t forget one thing: switch your hands to train your less fitter one to be as agile as the « good one ». And to get rid of the « left hand for chords/ right hand for melody » trope.
Yeah i started of practicing something similar to like this and I've been playing for about 2 years now. I've been starting to notice recently how much my left hand is underdeveloped compared to my right. Also just in case anyone was wondering the way I've been practicing is I pick a scale, choose a set of four chords or three or whatever you want really in the left hand as long as you can repeat it and just practice by playing any note in that scale. Eventually you gain a better understanding of how to form a melody intuitively, and your hands do all the work. Doesn't matter where it is relative to the previous note just play a tune. I find its better practice than regular scales since you practice jumping up more than one note at a time. Its really helped me with improvising.
Pierre-Antoine Winter-Samary Great point to help train your left hand. I got loads of left hand practice learning Stevie Wonder songs. He's always bouncing on the left hand 5th's or arpeggiating the left hand chords. So that forced my left hand to get stronger.
@@frederickweeksjr.3287 Ok I will try to explain! I hope I will be clear because english is not my native language! :) Of course, there is a lot of piano music that is written according to the following scheme (roughly): melody for the right hand and harmonization (chords) for the left hand. This fact leads a lot of pianists to train their virtuosity mainly on the right hand. This in turn may be tricky on the long term for various reasons. First of all, in written music, some demanding piano pieces require an equal virtuosity of both hands. But a lot of issues reveal themselves essentially when trying to step out from reading written music into improvisation ! Those pianists will find themselves stuck in this left hand/right hand scheme. Some things will become difficult to them, like building a convincing bassline or a melody that can easily « flow » from one hand to the other. And one last thing. As it is important to develop an equal virtuosity of both hands, it is also important for pianists to train their right hand in building chords the same way they do with the left hand, and then training themselves to build chords with the notes divided between the two hands. This will help them to get an « harmonic overview » of the whole keyboard, which will in turn allow them to build rich chord progressions.
You are an amazing teacher! I love your approach. I was taught in such a traditional “boring” way that didn’t encourage creativity. Practicing piano the way you teach it is more relaxed and fun. I feel less confined and nervous about making mistakes. I don’t ever plan to be a concert pianist, but I would like to feel comfortable playing for my friends and family. Love your videos!
I barely woke out of a piano bench coma from practicing traditional scales, but now I just look like I'm in a coma because my mind is totally blown! This technique is wonderful, like a million chocolate covered gummy bears! Thank you so much!! You Rock!!
1:15 can make scale practice more fun and “applied” by playing chords with left hand while doing scale on right hand And in creative ways up, down, up and down, etc 2:50 once you get comfortable doing this you can explore more with diff rhymthm patterns, random order of scale instead of just ascending and descending , etc 4:25 diatonic chords are guaranteed to sound good together , you can play them in any order I V VI IV
This video is literally responsible for an entire project I'm working on. Made chords in G, patterned 456, added whole note strings hitting the root notes, hammered out some drum patterns then started playing that scale! Resulted in a beautiful melody. Now I just need some icing and cherries!
Self taught and been playing for years but always ready to learn more or sometimes for the first time. Love the change in approach to scales. Will be watching more.
@@cdeezphotoz Jazz is obviously too complex for you. Stick to classical where you rely on memory whilst jazz comes from the soul plexus at lightening speed, no time to think just feel!
Step 1: Play scales with chords in your left hand Step 2: Try some rhytmic variations Step 3: Now you plaing polymeter 7/8 (scale) against 4/4 (chords)... How did you end up here anyway? Geez!
This is practically all that I ever do when on the piano and I love it! Scales aren’t boring if you play them like you are a song writer, and not a student ingesting a lesson.
I took piano lessons around when I was 12, then again when I was about 16...probably amounts to a couple of years' worth. Now I'm 51 and finding these wonderful videos are making me want to get back into it, learn music theory and start creating my own music. Thanks so much for these videos, for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!
Your video simplicity is very helping! I love the way you teach, script, and edit your videos! Definitely one of the Top pianists on UA-cam! Thanks for the help and ideas!
i used to play guitar in another life...this is the same no matter what instrument you play. nice to see it on a different instrument. this is how improvisation happens =)
Play scales and find chords and think about the scale degree to not only practice scales. You also learn your music theory, you learn to develop your improvisation skills and you learn how music works. These kinds of exercises are really important to do. For everyone who is reading this comment. Do not only use 1-4-5-6 but try to figure out how to use the 2 and 3. After that just explore the minor scale and beyond. A musical world awaits to get explored.
@@ericthered2963 1-4-5-6 are scale degrees. I think on her channel you can find some videos that explain that. It has to do with diatonic chords and how you can use it to create melodies.
This is the first time I'm actually thinking "this is fun" when thinking about practicing scales! Thanks a lot, I just found your videos and I really enjoy them!
Oh my gosh. Thank u! Play sax in school... didnt like scales then... teaching myself piano now... and still don't like scales. This helps so much!!! Thank u! Thank u!
I take a wooden chip and write a key signature on each chip, all 12 major and all 12 minor keys. Each week I pull a chip out of the cup and for that week I practice the scales and chord progressions in that key. Improvise melodies, arpeggios, runs etc., over the chord progressions in this key. This will be my new exercise 10-15 minutes before I work on new arrangements of the musical score for the month. Thanks for the beautiful idea. Dr. Dean
I’m new to piano. I’m 35. Been taking lessons for 7 months. Been practicing my scales. And this video got me even more excited to practice!!! Thank you!
Just started playing piano and your teaching techniques somehow speak to me. And i ve a huge crush on you 💟 there is something about how you talk which i love. Keep up the good work i really appreciate what you are doing.😊😊
Hello Pianote, I'm a Drummer of 30 years and have Always wanted to learn to play the Piano! I'm not ashamed to tell you that the sound of what you played actually moved me, even though it was just a practice routine ! I have always loved the sound of the Piano and how haunting it can sounds! What you played could easily be the background music of a Movie scene or a UA-cam video! I'm going to subscribe as soon as I post this! Thank You for triggering my want and Passion for making music again!
Although i have been doing this, sort of, you have given the necessary structure by showing the chords to play in a progression in the left hand. So this is an enormous help.🌅🎈😍
What a fantastically warm and encouraging attitude you have! I'm so happy UA-cam recommended this! I REALLY like this idea of immediately trying to create musical ideas when learning scales. It helps showcase why we should want to learn them in the first place. I'm a guitarist myself, and taught myself music theory with the internet, but it never struck me to try to make it about the music first, to de-"abstractualize" the theory. I wish I had approached it with that attitude right from the beginning! I'm definitely going to incorporate this the next time I teach someone guitar! Yay!!! :)
Hands down the best lesson yet!! Also I really wish, when you started playing the more advanced verses, that you would've kept that first little blip before you went and started with the scales again. I love those "river flows in you" style melodies and runs. Very well done as always!!! Thank you for doing all that you do for the creative community, and thanks for being you:)
@Pianote Your videos are perfect! Not too long, not too short. The perfect length. And you know how to take a concept and to make the people understand it - starting at the right point and explaining every step (not assuming that the people know things that you did not explained yet). There is no video of yours from which I did not learned something. And your playing ... when I hear how the human fingers can make the piano sound so gooooood , it makes go to my keyboard right away, open my DAW, load a VSTi (virtual instrument) and start practicing. Thanks!
The best part of this is that all of us that's learning is also sharing with each other learning, progressing, struggling and practicing together. sharing new ideas and ways to add to the exercise. Thank you everyone....Lisa is the Bestest :)
I like the ingredients reference. It is how I teach the concept as in a good recipe starts with a set of basic ingredients. If done right, you won't see the bay leave, basil, salt and pepper, but use them incorrectly or leave them out, you will notice in the tasting. Great lesson. I play the guitar mainly and a little keys but you bring it to life. All the best.
Thank you. I signed up for your course yesterday and I am enjoying everything you are teaching. Thank you again. I could play all day now and not be bored.
Finally something that makes sense of scale practice. I had gotten so tired of scales. None of the many instructors I've had ever explained this technique. Looking forward to getting past this roadblock.
Thanks so much for this video! I've been getting bored with the scales practice - this is very helpful and fun incorporating chords! Bonus is I am learning chords and scales together. It's all starting to make sense now!
This is the best explanation of a key and practice I have ever seen. Now I have found you I will go through all your stuff. The main goodness is you are so musical thanks.
Out of every piano tutorial I’ve seen you are hands down the best, you make things so simple. With that being said I would love if you were to make a series to teach us how to play the piano (piano lessons from step 1). That would be great, God bless you
Holy Guacamoley!! This is phenomenal advice! I am learning on my own in the 30 mins or so I have spare before work each day and BAM! Can’t wait to include this kind of exploration to my scale practice. Will soon wish I had more than 30 mins to spare!
You will just have to tell the boss at work occasionally that you have a "sick" note Justin. You don't have to explain to them that it is your piano that is slightly out of tune (even if it is or is not haha!) Blessings and peace
You are amazing! I have taught piano for over 25 years and I am learning so many wonderful things from you to do with my students (and have fun myself!) When I taught full time, I always learning new things to bring into the studio, but since down sizing due to another full-time job, I relied on my 25+ years experience to carry me. Although I was still a good teacher, I wasn’t great. Hoping to bring the magic back with your wonderful tips! Thank you!
i never liked practicing scales and i tried to find songs on line so i came here and now that i think about it scales seem extra fun i love the melody and now i going to do this every day! LOVE IT
While sounding better, playing only chords in one hand is too easy. When playing the scale with both hands at the same time, it really helps to master synchronization between the hands.
So much fun! Yes I got bored with scale practice when I was younger but it did help me memorize keys and chords. I got stuck when I didn’t know what to do with the chords other than a couple simple techniques (playing one root note in the left hand and the chord to the beat in the right hand). I became proficient in that but didn’t know where to go from there so these tutorials help me so much.
What a wonderful & creative way to make something that can be boring into something fun. I’ve done that with other endeavors, making a fun game out of it & enjoying it more!
Thank you sooooo much!! 🤗 this is wonderful, actually also helps one work on sounding musical aswell since more than just being an exercise it sounds so good
Two friends of mine, a brother and a sister, learned their scales from a Russian teacher when they were children. They would practice for at least one hour before learning their selected pieces. They did this every day without fail. They would start slowly, then pick up the tempo and end very fast, their finger flying over the keys. They both went on to the championships in Russia, with the brother taking first place, at the age of twelve.
I know that sounds like a triumph but to me it sounds kind of sad. Music isn’t an olympic sport, and the great joy is I finding the sound that represents you as a unique individual. Piano is a wonderful instrument, but too often taught like an instrument of combat.
@@sibbyeskie What makes you think first place didn't go to the competitor who had "found the sound that most represented them as a unique individual"? What makes you think the judges weren't finding great joy in finding "great joy within the competitors" who had "found the sound that most represented them as a unique individual"? You've created a metric. As soon as you create a metric, that metric can be compared and competed. And your metrics of "great joy" and "represents you as a unique individual" are sufficiently non-specific to make the judging more of an art form than a science. And that's exactly what music is, isn't it?! It's an art, not a science. So isn't it wonderful that even the judging should be arty, and joyous and representative of the judges unique individuality too?!
I honestly just stopped doing scales after a few years as I just could not be inspired to do it even though I knew it was good for me. This is such a refreshing look at scales that I've never seen before. 😃 I'm definitely use this as my warm up now!
I found this channel by chance, being a guitarist normally i was looking for lessons in music, now im playing a keyboard and learning loads, great channel love it
I am a big fan of doing things like this. Another thing I like to do that keeps me entertained is Play quarter notes in the left-hand starting with the first chord in the scale and eighth notes in the right hand. When I get back to the starting note in my right hand I move my left hand up to the next chord. When I get all the way back down to the starting chord I alternate hands. This works on my hand Independence, timing and teaches me the notes and chords in the scale. Nothing worse than being able to breeze up and down a scale with both hands to then realize you have no clue what chords to play in that scale
God bless you for what you do ma'am! I am a fellow teacher and player. And watching these lessons you provide are truly well laid out and easy to understand. You truly have a gift for what you do. Thank you.
I liked the scales rythm progression method. I can do that.... And, getting used to the movement of each finger and hand are, to me, a major step towards me actually learning to play and create something on the piano. You are the ONLY piano teacher that helped me make sense of the intricacies of playing the piano. Thank you
I've come back to this video 3 times just to listen to it, it's so nice. I'm completely new to piano, but now I'm encouraged to run out and buy a keyboard. I might be able to do this too! . . . . You're the best.

It;s when you transfer it to different KEYS..that can be a challenge on the KEY.

@@alanwander7277 it's just harder to shift to multiple keys and back on the piano...but EASY on the guitar because the guitar's lower strings
are tuned to perfect 4th or inverted 5th.
Basic triads are just EVERY OTHER NOTE ( NO MATTER the scale)
G7 = G, B, D, F or B dim/G...
Rookies might be taught to avoid diminished chords..but that's WRONG.
Diminished or augmented chord are links to shifting to other KEYS or
scales....( Full diminished and Augmented chords are SYMMETRICAL)
D, F, Ab, B = C Harmonic MAJOR or C Harmonic min
B, D, F, G# = A Harmonic min or A Harmonic MAJOR
once you get used to the sounds or KNOW the vii or 7th chords
degree to all HARMONICs scales are diminished scales..
you can use that as TOOLS to shift to other KEYS..
D into Eb....................F into F#.....G# into A....B into C.
Eb MAJOR or min.....F# MAJOR or min
Augmented chords works in the same way
C, E, G#......C into C#......E into F......G# into A
The (n6 or N6) A Harmonic min b2 ( Bb lydian #6)
A Melodic min b2 ( Bb lydian #5, #6)
D double harmonic min ( Bb lydian #2, #6)
The Basic...learn how to INSERT the Bb Major chord.
You can use it to help you CYCLE DOWN to the 4th.
Bb lydian to D min/F MAJOR
Bb ion to G min/Bb MAJOR
Bb mix to C min /Eb MAJOR
You can also play Bb as Bb7, Bb dim, BbAug. Bb min7 Bb min/maj7
such as Bb dim into B min/D MAJOR
C Maj....Bb7 A7 into D MAJOR ( Notice the movement from #6 lesson)
A min C maj7 Bb7 A7 into D MAJOR...or D min/F MAJOR
you can also extended it.
A min Bb maj C7...into F MAJOR or F min
Amin Bb7 C7
Amin Bb dim C7
Amin Bb dim C dim into C# melodic min or ( C# min/E MAJOR)
Notice A lydian b3.....I wrote that for REASONS ( E HARMONIC MAJOR)
it's also G# phry b4 A lydian b3 B mix b2
A min....B7 into E MAJOR.........or you can play into E min/G MAJOR
A min G#7 into C# min/E MAJOR
A dim C dim into C#min or C #MAJOR
once in C# min......use the n6 or N6 to CYCLE BACK DOWN.
Notice.....
C# min D maj7 E7 F# min/A MAJOR
C# min D dim E7 A Harmonic min or A Harmonic MAJOR
C# min D7 E7 A Melodic min
C# min D dim E dim F Melodic min
or
C# min....D dim into A min...... ( D #4 into 5) ( Dorian #4 ( G# into A)
or D dim....F dim into F# min or....G# dim into A MAJOR...if you want.
It's UNLIMITED...but if you COMPREHEND it in C MAJOR/Amin
at first....you 'll get LESS lost/confuse when playing in other keys.
I can simply play A min D7 into G min/Ab MAJOR...
Im used to altering the TONIC to dim chords as well...
G min A dim Bb MAJOR.lol
it's wicked looking on PAPER can be tricky on the KEYBOARD
to finger..but all I have to do on the guitar is slide
everthing down 2 frets....(EASY)
it's make the key shifting smoother
or with interesting SOUNDS...such as C Maj D7 into G min
or A min B7 E min F# dim into G min.lol
once in G min/Ab MAJOR...
I can easily play Ab/G# dim ( n6) or full dim
Ab , B dim into C MAJOR/Amin
CIRCLE BACK UP again. (EASY)....
or this A min B dim C#7 into F # Min ( F# harmonic min) F# min/A MAJOR
once in F# min or just playing the F# min chord ( you dont have to change keys)
descending to E7 into A min
Or play F# min G7 into C MAJOR... ( F# harmonic min b2 or the n6)
Or
F# min A Maj7 G7 into C MAJOR
or F# min G# dim B dim into C MAJOR
I use to practice scales for hours and hours. Just out of curiosity I watched this video and it blown my mind away. I never even guessed that scales can sound this good. Thank u for sharing this with us.
Great video!
But I would like to add this advice to the practicing pianists:
Don’t forget one thing: switch your hands to train your less fitter one to be as agile as the « good one ».
And to get rid of the « left hand for chords/ right hand for melody » trope.
Yeah i started of practicing something similar to like this and I've been playing for about 2 years now. I've been starting to notice recently how much my left hand is underdeveloped compared to my right.
Also just in case anyone was wondering the way I've been practicing is I pick a scale, choose a set of four chords or three or whatever you want really in the left hand as long as you can repeat it and just practice by playing any note in that scale. Eventually you gain a better understanding of how to form a melody intuitively, and your hands do all the work. Doesn't matter where it is relative to the previous note just play a tune. I find its better practice than regular scales since you practice jumping up more than one note at a time. Its really helped me with improvising.
Pierre-Antoine Winter-Samary Great point to help train your left hand. I got loads of left hand practice learning Stevie Wonder songs. He's always bouncing on the left hand 5th's or arpeggiating the left hand chords. So that forced my left hand to get stronger.
Just play the piano upside-down
What's the thought process of your last sentence? Just curious.
@@frederickweeksjr.3287 Ok I will try to explain! I hope I will be clear because english is not my native language! :)
Of course, there is a lot of piano music that is written according to the following scheme (roughly): melody for the right hand and harmonization (chords) for the left hand. This fact leads a lot of pianists to train their virtuosity mainly on the right hand.
This in turn may be tricky on the long term for various reasons.
First of all, in written music, some demanding piano pieces require an equal virtuosity of both hands.
But a lot of issues reveal themselves essentially when trying to step out from reading written music into improvisation !
Those pianists will find themselves stuck in this left hand/right hand scheme. Some things will become difficult to them, like building a convincing bassline or a melody that can easily « flow » from one hand to the other.
And one last thing.
As it is important to develop an equal virtuosity of both hands, it is also important for pianists to train their right hand in building chords the same way they do with the left hand, and then training themselves to build chords with the notes divided between the two hands. This will help them to get an « harmonic overview » of the whole keyboard, which will in turn allow them to build rich chord progressions.
You are an amazing teacher! I love your approach. I was taught in such a traditional “boring” way that didn’t encourage creativity. Practicing piano the way you teach it is more relaxed and fun. I feel less confined and nervous about making mistakes. I don’t ever plan to be a concert pianist, but I would like to feel comfortable playing for my friends and family. Love your videos!
I barely woke out of a piano bench coma from practicing traditional scales, but now I just look like I'm in a coma because my mind is totally blown! This technique is wonderful, like a million chocolate covered gummy bears! Thank you so much!! You Rock!!
1:15 can make scale practice more fun and “applied” by playing chords with left hand while doing scale on right hand
And in creative ways up, down, up and down, etc
2:50 once you get comfortable doing this you can explore more with diff rhymthm patterns, random order of scale instead of just ascending and descending , etc
4:25 diatonic chords are guaranteed to sound good together , you can play them in any order
I V VI IV
This video is literally responsible for an entire project I'm working on. Made chords in G, patterned 456, added whole note strings hitting the root notes, hammered out some drum patterns then started playing that scale! Resulted in a beautiful melody. Now I just need some icing and cherries!
Self taught and been playing for years but always ready to learn more or sometimes for the first time. Love the change in approach to scales. Will be watching more.
I love this teacher! She makes it easy to learn, and challenging. So glad I found her. She is a gem!
just stick a seventh on top of those chords and suddenly you're doing 𝓙 𝓐 𝓩 𝓩
BAM! :)
I LOVE THIS COMMENT MORE THAN A SINGLE LIKE CAN EXPRESS
That's cos you are crap at the piano!
I kept reading this as “FALL” and I did not get it for the longest time. :)
@@cdeezphotoz Jazz is obviously too complex for you. Stick to classical where you rely on memory whilst jazz comes from the soul plexus at lightening speed, no time to think just feel!
this is one of the best piano exercises I have ever seen
Step 1: Play scales with chords in your left hand
Step 2: Try some rhytmic variations
Step 3: Now you plaing polymeter 7/8 (scale) against 4/4 (chords)... How did you end up here anyway? Geez!
Just might be the most available teacher on the net, really find your teaching style accessible... thx... ;-)
This is practically all that I ever do when on the piano and I love it! Scales aren’t boring if you play them like you are a song writer, and not a student ingesting a lesson.
same. Improvisation is a skill
I took piano lessons around when I was 12, then again when I was about 16...probably amounts to a couple of years' worth. Now I'm 51 and finding these wonderful videos are making me want to get back into it, learn music theory and start creating my own music. Thanks so much for these videos, for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!
Your video simplicity is very helping! I love the way you teach, script, and edit your videos! Definitely one of the Top pianists on UA-cam! Thanks for the help and ideas!
i used to play guitar in another life...this is the same no matter what instrument you play. nice to see it on a different instrument. this is how improvisation happens =)
She is a great teacher! I've learned so much, so fast, and she makes it fun. Fan for life! God Bless...
You are the only piano teacher that is helpful to a singer who is trying to accompany himself on piano, thank you kindly
Play scales and find chords and think about the scale degree to not only practice scales. You also learn your music theory, you learn to develop your improvisation skills and you learn how music works. These kinds of exercises are really important to do. For everyone who is reading this comment. Do not only use 1-4-5-6 but try to figure out how to use the 2 and 3. After that just explore the minor scale and beyond. A musical world awaits to get explored.
I barely even know what you mean with 1-4-5-6
=_=
But I have barely started to learn Piano. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ericthered2963 1-4-5-6 are scale degrees. I think on her channel you can find some videos that explain that. It has to do with diatonic chords and how you can use it to create melodies.
You bet! Here is the link! ua-cam.com/video/8n7LsgFfFC4/v-deo.html
Lisa you helped me so much now I'm super good and my dad is really proud thank so much
This is the first time I'm actually thinking "this is fun" when thinking about practicing scales! Thanks a lot, I just found your videos and I really enjoy them!
Oh my gosh. Thank u! Play sax in school... didnt like scales then... teaching myself piano now... and still don't like scales. This helps so much!!! Thank u! Thank u!
Thanks for this lesson, I’m a “senior beginner” and really hate practising scales - until now!
SWEET!!!!!!!
Like some here, I am also a ‘senior beginner’ who finds you funny, easy to understand your breakdowns and motivates me to practice! Thank you!
Also senior (47) beginner but i love practice scales ;)
I'm a late beginner... Sob!
What that guy said...this makes eating the brussel sprouts fun, thanks Pianote Girl!
I take a wooden chip and write a key signature on each chip, all 12 major and all 12 minor keys. Each week I pull a chip out of the cup and for that week I practice the scales and chord progressions in that key. Improvise melodies, arpeggios, runs etc., over the chord progressions in this key. This will be my new exercise 10-15 minutes before I work on new arrangements of the musical score for the month. Thanks for the beautiful idea. Dr. Dean

But seriously thank you for the help
I love your mindset. thanks for sharing this!
I needed this. It’s a more creative way to practice chords and I think it will build on good chord combos. Thank you so much.
thank the lord for youtube and Pianote...I'm so excited about learning more from this channel. Piano made easy and fun!
These exercises sound very similar to a lot of Ludovico Einaudi's music. Wonderfully simple, yet remarkably beautiful.
I thought the same exact thing
@@tannerhartl5175 #MeToo
But mixolydian
Thought the same thing. He's hated and loved for his simplicity.
Thought the same
I’m new to piano. I’m 35. Been taking lessons for 7 months. Been practicing my scales. And this video got me even more excited to practice!!! Thank you!
Just started playing piano and your teaching techniques somehow speak to me. And i ve a huge crush on you 💟 there is something about how you talk which i love. Keep up the good work i really appreciate what you are doing.😊😊
ahhh... young love it truly is quite the best show to watch
@@kovoempire4093 so true
No chance.... But nice try! 😁
Hello Pianote, I'm a Drummer of 30 years and have Always wanted to learn to play the Piano! I'm not ashamed to tell you that the sound of what you played actually moved me, even though it was just a practice routine ! I have always loved the sound of the Piano and how haunting it can sounds! What you played could easily be the background music of a Movie scene or a UA-cam video! I'm going to subscribe as soon as I post this! Thank You for triggering my want and Passion for making music again!
Although i have been doing this, sort of, you have given the necessary structure by showing the chords to play in a progression in the left hand. So this is an enormous help.🌅🎈😍
Wow!! Lisa getting us into playing scales in interesting ways...whatever next Classical pieces? I wish!!! mx
Lisa you just opened my mind to the piano, thank you so much. This is literally life-changing for me.
I am so glad!!! :) I hope your musical journey brings you as much joy as music brings me! :)
What a fantastically warm and encouraging attitude you have! I'm so happy UA-cam recommended this! I REALLY like this idea of immediately trying to create musical ideas when learning scales. It helps showcase why we should want to learn them in the first place. I'm a guitarist myself, and taught myself music theory with the internet, but it never struck me to try to make it about the music first, to de-"abstractualize" the theory. I wish I had approached it with that attitude right from the beginning! I'm definitely going to incorporate this the next time I teach someone guitar! Yay!!! :)
So glad you can use this to share music! :) I hope your students enjoy!
Hands down the best lesson yet!! Also I really wish, when you started playing the more advanced verses, that you would've kept that first little blip before you went and started with the scales again. I love those "river flows in you" style melodies and runs. Very well done as always!!! Thank you for doing all that you do for the creative community, and thanks for being you:)
@Pianote Your videos are perfect! Not too long, not too short. The perfect length. And you know how to take a concept and to make the people understand it - starting at the right point and explaining every step (not assuming that the people know things that you did not explained yet). There is no video of yours from which I did not learned something. And your playing ... when I hear how the human fingers can make the piano sound so gooooood , it makes go to my keyboard right away, open my DAW, load a VSTi (virtual instrument) and start practicing. Thanks!
I'm a guitarist. I sometimes practice them with a jam track recording.
The best part of this is that all of us that's learning is also sharing with each other learning, progressing, struggling and practicing together. sharing new ideas and ways to add to the exercise. Thank you everyone....Lisa is the Bestest :)
I've always liked doing scales. But this method adds color to them. Fantastic.
I like the ingredients reference. It is how I teach the concept as in a good recipe starts with a set of basic ingredients. If done right, you won't see the bay leave, basil, salt and pepper, but use them incorrectly or leave them out, you will notice in the tasting.
Great lesson. I play the guitar mainly and a little keys but you bring it to life. All the best.
That sounded amazing for being a scale exercise. Great tip!
This is exactly what I was hoping to find; creativity while nailing now the basics. Wonderful.
Im develop much from this channel.... Without going to pianoclass.👍👍👍
Thank you. I signed up for your course yesterday and I am enjoying everything you are teaching. Thank you again. I could play all day now and not be bored.
“Scales are like veggies! If you dont play them *YOU’LL DIE* “
Finally something that makes sense of scale practice. I had gotten so tired of scales. None of the many instructors I've had ever explained this technique. Looking forward to getting past this roadblock.
Thanks so much for this video! I've been getting bored with the scales practice - this is very helpful and fun incorporating chords! Bonus is I am learning chords and scales together. It's all starting to make sense now!
This is the best explanation of a key and practice I have ever seen. Now I have found you I will go through all your stuff. The main goodness is you are so musical thanks.
This woman is literally amazing
Didn't need to say literally.
She reminds me of an uplifting math tutor I had in high school.
Francisco Delucas yes! 😭🤣
sgorno literally whats ur prob lmao
I agree
Out of every piano tutorial I’ve seen you are hands down the best, you make things so simple.
With that being said I would love if you were to make a series to teach us how to play the piano (piano lessons from step 1).
That would be great, God bless you
deceptively simple yet valuable idea - thank you!
You're welcome! :)
Holy Guacamoley!! This is phenomenal advice! I am learning on my own in the 30 mins or so I have spare before work each day and BAM! Can’t wait to include this kind of exploration to my scale practice. Will soon wish I had more than 30 mins to spare!
You will just have to tell the boss at work occasionally that you have a "sick" note Justin. You don't have to explain to them that it is your piano that is slightly out of tune (even if it is or is not haha!)
Blessings and peace
This is a cool idea :)
Was getting into scales before and started going a bit loopy after my hands quit before my mind did
Lol
Right!
You are amazing! I have taught piano for over 25 years and I am learning so many wonderful things from you to do with my students (and have fun myself!)
When I taught full time, I always learning new things to bring into the studio, but since down sizing due to another full-time job, I relied on my 25+ years experience to carry me. Although I was still a good teacher, I wasn’t great. Hoping to bring the magic back with your wonderful tips! Thank you!
This is excellent. Very useful. Thank you so much.
Lisa, how helpful and inspiring you are. Your joy is contagious. Your style of teaching is so delightful to hear. May all your dreams come true.
That sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing!🎹👍🏿
You're welcome!
i never liked practicing scales and i tried to find songs on line so i came here and now that i think about it scales seem extra fun i love the melody and now i going to do this every day! LOVE IT
While sounding better, playing only chords in one hand is too easy. When playing the scale with both hands at the same time, it really helps to master synchronization between the hands.
Yes I agree, but I think it's best if you play chords with one hand and with the other two hands you play the scales
@Joseph Bison hmm you are quite right. in this case only hand is unused as opposed to two
Hmmmm. I hear you
Master the intro to clocks by coldplay. Its played with both hands.
Wait, so it's easy to do and it sounds good... That IS the goal after all.
Your the kind of teacher a student hopes for. So creative you forget your learning.
Wow, looking forward to playing scales today
So much fun! Yes I got bored with scale practice when I was younger but it did help me memorize keys and chords. I got stuck when I didn’t know what to do with the chords other than a couple simple techniques (playing one root note in the left hand and the chord to the beat in the right hand). I became proficient in that but didn’t know where to go from there so these tutorials help me so much.
A MUCH better way to practice scales without boring yourself to death. Great video!
What a wonderful & creative way to make something that can be boring into something fun. I’ve done that with other endeavors, making a fun game out of it & enjoying it more!
Thank you sooooo much!! 🤗 this is wonderful, actually also helps one work on sounding musical aswell since more than just being an exercise it sounds so good
Wow. This is cool. This exercise feeling like you're making music while practicing.
Two friends of mine, a brother and a sister, learned their scales from a Russian teacher when they were children. They would practice for at least one hour before learning their selected pieces. They did this every day without fail. They would start slowly, then pick up the tempo and end very fast, their finger flying over the keys. They both went on to the championships in Russia, with the brother taking first place, at the age of twelve.
I know that sounds like a triumph but to me it sounds kind of sad. Music isn’t an olympic sport, and the great joy is I finding the sound that represents you as a unique individual. Piano is a wonderful instrument, but too often taught like an instrument of combat.
@@sibbyeskie What makes you think first place didn't go to the competitor who had "found the sound that most represented them as a unique individual"?
What makes you think the judges weren't finding great joy in finding "great joy within the competitors" who had "found the sound that most represented them as a unique individual"?
You've created a metric. As soon as you create a metric, that metric can be compared and competed. And your metrics of "great joy" and "represents you as a unique individual" are sufficiently non-specific to make the judging more of an art form than a science.
And that's exactly what music is, isn't it?! It's an art, not a science. So isn't it wonderful that even the judging should be arty, and joyous and representative of the judges unique individuality too?!
Great lesson. I think a lot of us will benefit from it. Thanks Lisa!
Just tried watching this while waiting for a friend. I wish I have my keyboard in front of mine.. :'(
Thank you Lisa!
This lady rocks !
Too old I thought to learn music at mid 50's ....never been able to sell epistemology of music but you have it ....many thanks 🤗
Love your sprit love your jokes love your lessons :
I think this will be a game changer for me in terms of actually practicing
I honestly just stopped doing scales after a few years as I just could not be inspired to do it even though I knew it was good for me.
This is such a refreshing look at scales that I've never seen before. 😃 I'm definitely use this as my warm up now!
I found this channel by chance, being a guitarist normally i was looking for lessons in music, now im playing a keyboard and learning loads, great channel love it
Great lesson. thank you
I am a big fan of doing things like this.
Another thing I like to do that keeps me entertained is
Play quarter notes in the left-hand starting with the first chord in the scale and eighth notes in the right hand. When I get back to the starting note in my right hand I move my left hand up to the next chord. When I get all the way back down to the starting chord I alternate hands.
This works on my hand Independence, timing and teaches me the notes and chords in the scale.
Nothing worse than being able to breeze up and down a scale with both hands to then realize you have no clue what chords to play in that scale
That's a great practice technic! And I agree, not knowing which chords to play can definitely be frustrating! Thanks for sharing! :)
Love when you explain
God bless you for what you do ma'am! I am a fellow teacher and player. And watching these lessons you provide are truly well laid out and easy to understand. You truly have a gift for what you do. Thank you.
I am going to show this to my granddaughter, who is having piano lessons, the conventional way, to make here scales more fun.
Keep up the good work 🎼🎹
Thats awesome! I hope it inspires her :)
EXCELLENT LESSON!!! You can create endless songs with scales and chord progression. Love it 😀
Adding chords and harmonic progression to the scalee shoul be in the daily routine exercise
I liked the scales rythm progression method. I can do that.... And, getting used to the movement of each finger and hand are, to me, a major step towards me actually learning to play and create something on the piano.
You are the ONLY piano teacher that helped me make sense of the intricacies of playing the piano.
Thank you
I don't usually comment on youtube but really what you're doing in this channel is helping us A LOT !!
Keep up the good work !!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment :)
I'm 56yrs and this is my 2nd week and I can run basic ⚖ comfortably with both hands at same time. I love it! I can't wait to practice!
As Dr. K would say "Do you know Boogie Woogie?"
Of course! :) I love Boogie Woogie! We have a video on it if you would like to check it out! ua-cam.com/video/UX7-PuFLrfU/v-deo.html
Nah bro, he would ask where the middle C is, just to get you started 😂
I've come back to this video 3 times just to listen to it, it's so nice. I'm completely new to piano, but now I'm encouraged to run out and buy a keyboard. I might be able to do this too! . . . . You're the best.
this is great. I wanna play like Burt Bacharach!
That's awesome! I know that you can get there! Happy practicing! :)
this is really fun! I've been doing this for 1 hour and I really feel refreshed and enjoy this
Luv it and you look gorgeous when you playing ☺️
Thank you so much for your excellent videos. I am 58, and you are among my motivators to begin learning the piano. I appreciate your wit and style, and also that you teach us what and how, and also why we do things.
This is literally the best and most simply piano video I've ever seen.
