    around 6:45 you ask what that motif comes from - I would say: Chopin, 1st piano sonata 2nd movement, marcia funebre

    At 6:40 in the video, I *think* the piece you started playing (but couldn't remember ) might be Chopin's "Funeral March".

    Hello there Adam, I am enjoying your tutorials immensely, it is all rather slow for me because of my advanced age, but it is really fun. You are a fantastic teacher. Would you continue with Elton's "Your Song" so we could learn the entire piece to the end. Thank you so much for your generosity giving out these valuable lessons!!! Kind wishes, Joan.😻

    Hi Adam Loved the lesson as I knew I would. Thank you for another excellent tutorial. The piece you were intimating at in 6.04 of the video is La March Funebre par Chopin Or opus 35 Funeral march in B flat and C minors respectively. Written by Chopin to show solidarity and support with his fellow Poles in their uprising against the Russians.
    I am so excited about this channel and I have seen a lot but you really have something here. There is a sense of accessibility, clear explanation and a teaching style that is esoteric across all age and experience groups It's as though, you know exactly what I want to learn and haven't been able to due to lack of confidence to step outside of sheet music.
    I am a fan and hope to be part of this growing community for many years. You mentioned social media platforms. Apologies but I only have you here on UA-cam. Which others are you on? I presume you were referring to Community Groups on Facebook, X, Insta etc.
    Congratulations on the 10,000 subscriber mark but know you've smashed that one out of the park already. Had a Merch idea for you also. Why don't you get Keys Coach T-Shirts etc, and have your catchphrase emblazoned across the keys! 'Do You See That?' Or 'I Like It!' I think they would sell lol! Already spread the word about your channel Adam and fellow piano amateurs will flock to it, I know.
    Really am enjoying your content Adam. You're an excellent musician but even greater teacher. Thank you.

    I like this lesson so much! And throughout your lessons, the use of different keys is so useful to get to practice new sounds. Unfortunately, dew to an accident, I can't stretch my right hand pinky to reach an octave ( such as happens in this lesson ) so I don't know if I'll be able to get that sound when playing the block chords of progression... Is there any way in which this lesson can be adapted so I may play it? Thanks a lot and expecting your next video lesson 😊
