Hope this one is helpful for you! Lots of other ways we can use the left hand but these are some great staple methods to get started with!

[teresabhales]

Of watching over a hundred teachers, you have touched on several things that none other ever did. You also explained it in simple terminology for us just beginning. You are my favorite by far! Ty so much!

[christophergraham]

You're a fantastic teacher. Thankyou for this.

[maylam]

Your lessons are always a great resource and so inspiring, there’s something new to learn every time and makes practicing so much more fun.

Great video -- really good that you've emphazsied the ergonomics as well!

Very nice, it would be great if you make a dedicated video to play 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th with the same left hand pattern.

"Pianistic" is a great word, I'm gonna have to start using it.

I had a method book in French, La Méthode Rose, which used a lot of Alberti Bass. Most piano teachers don’t use it with children or absolute beginners. Maybe it was a good thing I didn’t know better, since I find playing songs with this pattern fairly easy.

Today I started to practice together with your advice! Send a few days I started to learn this instrument with age of 69. But before I have played accordion and so far the right hand there is some understanding. Greetings from Germany!

[janlee]

Could you suggest which patterns work best with 3-4 and 4-4 and different time signatures. TY

[justaskjean]

This is really useful. However, the bit they I really have trouble with is working out how to play both hands together. Specifically how say the arpeggios fit in with the melody. Any tips?
