Thank you my favorite instructor for this lessons on interval's and 8va Bcs at some point I felt like giving up because of how boring is it try to learn it myself without any guid which makes it not interesting But with your lessons it makes it very interesting for me to learn it and it lift's up my enthusiasm to always want to learn so as to step up my musical ability to another level with the help of music theory/sight-reading so I will keep on pushing...

I'm way past this level, but I'm watching this while I do my sun salutation. I've seen several of your videos and you impressed me with your style. I wished I had discovered your channel and had taken your Roadmap to start out.
BTW one thing that has really helped my musicality, which was very underdeveloped. Hey, I joked for 65 years that I was born with two left ears. Choir teachers told me to move my lips and not make a sound for the 8 years of required singing classes.
Last month I learned the Rule of the Octave, the 16th and 17th century method of teaching to harmonize a scale. They used to teach this to orphans in Napoli to train them to become Maestri. I'm even singing the parts of the scale (the tonic, third and fifth) as I play the scale and sing the changes. It's a great ear training exercise.
Derek Remes has lots of free information on his website.

Thank you, Susan, for these lessons. Although I have played other instruments, I am a complete beginner on the piano and find your instruction very informative and helpful. Also, the encouragement you give is a great help. You've done a really good job with this course . . .

[dianepowers]

Love your instructions…clear, slowly enough to process, making your explanations easy to understand!! I feel so much more confident, inspired and motivated. I have had a difficult time with quickly recognizing intervals which slow throws off my rhythm.

[rashiefbrown]

They are stepping in the first line. I really enjoy your content by the qay and that hand independence exercise been helping me real good

[serenafan]

Thank you for this amazing lesson! You explain everything so clearly. After I heard you play the landmark landscape I felt so inspired that it encouraged me.

I was browsing for sheet 8th note sight reading instructions, then came across this channel. There isn't much on the web on the topic of beamed 8ths and quarter note rhythm. Maybe you will include this in a future video tutorial.

Your channel wake me up as it appeared while I was searching, but mostly dozing through other music tutorials.
Thank you for sharing.
