Lisa, you've opened up an entire "New World" for me. To say that, your personality, is perfection in the realm of instruction is a vast understatement my friend. I can honestly say that you're the "Best" piano Instructor, I've ever seen, on YouTube. Thank you so much for all of your time, efforts and "Inspiration"; my interest (in Piano) has peaked to a new high.

[margaretbinns]

My favorite is moonlight Sonata . Whenever I see a piano, I wish I could just sit down and play that one piece

[S.I.F.A.R]

Still remember the first time play moonlight sonata 1st movement...so beautiful until I discovered 3rd movement.
Yeah, I kind of understand what he feels on that time.

Prelude I in C Major was the first classical song I learned and memorised entirely. It will always hold a special place with me and is one of my favs to play. It was great to see it in your video as everyone learning to play classical piano should give that song a go. Cheers.

Your enthusiasm is inspiring. If only you had been my music teacher. I'm 69 years old and think music is one of the most important pleasures there is. It’s value is so underrated. It doesn’t matter what genre you like or play, if it works for you, play it and live it. Thank you.

Everyone knows Franz Liszt is the EASIEST composer

[ilyaskilickaya]

I AM REALLY APPRECIATIVE ABOUT THE EASY PIANO ARRANGEMENTS AS AN AMATEUR WHO ALWAYS FACES PROBLEM ON FINDING CORRECT PIECES AND CORRECT ARRANGEMENTS. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT APPROACH TO TEACHING.

[antonioleopold]

Perfect timing. I've started to work on the cover of Canon in D just a couple of days ago. Thank you. 😉

[EricinPR]

I love all three. My parents (keep in mind, I’m 67) subscribed to Readers Digest music in the 1960s, which included 10 albums of classical piano music which included these three pieces. And so, they are permanently ingrained in my memory.

[lobomedina]

Been playing by ear for over 50 years. Like someone has possessed me. Now it's time to learn theory. So grateful for these wonderful channels, people like this lovely woman who so generously shares her knowledge and passion for music.

[vincentcrici]

You are an excellent teacher-knowledgeable, caring, slow-paced,
very enthusiastic and highly motivating!

Moonlight Sonata was THE piece that brought me out of a 40 year slump, and it was Lisa who retaught it to me by way of her full tutorial on the piece. That was also the first Pianote video I ever saw and I'm so glad it came up quite unexpectedly in my YT feed. My problem now is that my fingers are not as nimble as they once were so I really appreciate these slower classical pieces. I'm also envious of her ability to know instantly what chord or key she is playing in like it's intuitively obvious. I always go, Huh? whenever people do that. Yes, I know, it's probably a lot easier than I think it is, so I've got my work cut out for me, but learning music now is a lot more fun than it was when I was young, and I credit that entirely to Lisa and her YT videos.

You are a very good piano teacher. Hope you get 1 million subscribers 😊😊

Dear Lisa,
I've wanted to play the piano since I was a kid, and now since last Thursday, I finally own my very own piano ♥️ That day I stumbled upon your videos, and I must say they have helped me immensely. I know where to begin now, what to practise, and being a stubborn little devil, already managed to learn the first song!
I feel like me and many others owe you so much for sharing all this musical wisdom for free, and I will continue honoring your gift by practising every day, and sharing everything I learn with fellow music lovers.

May whatever spirits rule this Earth bless you forever!

Bach‘s „Prelude in C Major“ is one of my all time favourites and I love to play it. It is quite easy and sounds absolutely beautiful. And for the ones who do not know: It is the base of the famous „Ave Maria“. ;-)
