Just started this one! Listening to it is a lot of help. Looking at when you began book one versus where you're at right now with book three also makes me feel much better! Seeing the amount of time contrasted with your amount of skill doesn't make me feel quite so bad about taking my time!

Next stop, Jericho. Thanks for all your videos.

Hello Elena.  I am an older man who's been using Alfred's Adult book in an attempt to learn to play the piano.  Your videos are very helpful to learn the fingering and the correct tempo.  Thanks so much for posting so many of the Alfred songs.  I pressed your subscribe button a few days ago.  Now when I watch one of your videos do you receive some type of credit from You Tube?  I certainly hope so.  Again, thanks so much.

The arpeggiated chord is so difficult for me

[kumarc]

Thanks. It’s been a great help to get the feel of the music as I learn to play this deeply intensive piece.

This video is a bit old but to anyone reading this, I recommend not to watch videos about the notes you should read in these books because they can make it more difficult on you. You’re supposed to try to play it yourself and interpret it from what you know. It should be a bit of a challenge and that’s the point. Keep practicing my friends, we will all go far.

I have such a hard time with the timing on this song.

Elena: This is one of my favorite pieces in the Alfred's piano books. You played this one very well. I will watch other videos you recently posted on your channel. Xiao

[CyrusChongg]

This has a masive mmorpg feel to it, love it alot.

[TheMarkoPoloProgram]

This is the toughest song I’ve ever had to learn.

[dontre]

I got it i am playing this you know this is just my channel

[benjaminhedley]

I thought I was playing this song wrong because of how boring it sounded. Turns out it is just a boring song.

You played it really nicely though. Good work!

[Leetcodegirlca]

so only the chords on the treble staff are arpeggiated while the bass chords are as is?

[xshra]

Hello! I noticed you have played most of the pieces in the Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course book, and I was wondering if you've done the last piece in the book, Chattanooga Choo Choo? But this was very well played!!! I subbed! :D

[irmaravkic]

Nice. I think the arpeggio could be better. You need to accentuate the final note (G) in it. I am also learning and my teacher told me that, and it sounds better.

[Melvin_]

I fvcking hate this piece, it was a pain in the ass to learn it a while ago lol

[YukataKaytee]

Um... You're supposed to hit the notes harder at the end for the arperggiated chord. There's a crescendo there.

[Alex-vmnf]

Thank you but you are supposed to play softly and not stiff
