Please let me know what was helpful, what you'd like me to include or how I could improve on tutorials (excluding the shaky camera, weird lighting/angle and unclear voice issues) because I do not make many of these, I'm not great at it! I just want to be helpful and share the joys of playing piano. I definitely cannot make a tutorial for every song I'll arrange, but as you all know, Porter is different.

> "Notice the staccato versus the legato"

Me, a non-piano player: "Hmmmm, yes, I know these words."

[penguinpatroller]

havent seen a tutorial from you in a minute. thank you for teaching us less musically inclined individuals 😆

[sody]

Thank you for giving us a tutorial for this beautiful song😭😭💓💓

[carolinelohy]

Aaaah, this song goes so well on the piano! <3 Buying sheet music now (another one into the collection!) - really enjoyed this video tutorial too :)

[OnEveryThang]

Yesss can you do a full tutorial of your cover of everything goes on plzzz

[handlemonium]

I get my piano content from you and Nahre Sol.

Nahre has the cool crazy ideas while your videos make me want to get back into playing!

Keep it coming 😁

[shanesharkey]

You killed my forearms with all the left hand octave jumps on “unfold” and now I’m watching this like “dang it, let me get through dullscythe first”

[Hoyitstopher]

I don't not play or intend to learn, but it was still fun to watch :) Thank you keudae

[giuseppesgone]

sounds so beautiful!! Would you ever do a synthesia cover? i’m still not great at reading sheets but really want to learn it 😅

[fernf]

your so talented! as a keys player myself, whos self taught and have played more than practicing, i really love to add those jazz elements you do, whats the best thing to practice, scales, passing chords etc....

[martijnmoonen]

OMG YES, tutorial videos! I have so many of your nurture videos in a youtube playlist i made cause i want to learn piano some day. Hope there are more nurture piano tutorials coming as i cant read sheet music : ) thank you for doing this, your piano covers are amazing!

[Trail_Blazer]

I love this cover so much, especially the little flairs, like the extra chord you included. I'd really love to be able to put together a transcription/arrangement like this one day. Unfortunately, I'm pretty much a complete beginner with music theory stuff. Do you have any tips on how to learn the music theory required?

[PuzzledMinds]

Nice tutorial :)
I know how to read solfege and I understand the basics of scales but I have no idea how to play the chords you call by name on piano, do you know some learning material to become familiar with that?

[noahhinojoza]

This tutorial is soo helpful! is there any chance you could do cheerleader?

[PeaceNinja]

Well I do have a question but it’s not related to the actual song lol
Will you ever make a video showing your setup?
It sounds like you’re using Noire, would like to know your EQs and all that good stuff

[shanekunz]

i think it's a little early to decide what Smile :D sheet music i'll buy and learn in this "era", but really want to learn this one so I can experience the immense contrast between people saying the obligatory "that's a beautiful piano song", but in my head it's a goofy costume guy saying "b*tch im taylor swift".

[cuchutrain]

saying XD instead of just making the face every time you say the song title is just straight up blasphemy

And thanks for the tutorial, I came here just for my favorite part which is the descending chords down to the minor 2 in the verses. Its so good.

[EagleSng]

I can't believe I never noticed the Fb(9)#11 before. 😂 I've not been sleeping the best lately, so I'll just blame that for lack of a better excuse. Lol Sounds really good though! Thank you for the in-depth tutorial, Jenny! 🤍
