You are a hell of a good teacher. I am a retired Chilean teacher who regrets not having come across your classes before

[Arkham]

I purchased the book you recommended and got it yesterday. Its amazing, thank you so much for that recommendation. Its good to get information from various places to see the explanations provided in different ways. Some of the things they talk about I have no clue about, like a 'Dominant seventh arpeggio', but that will come in time.

Your series plus my weekly instruction is really helping.

As an aside, I'm listening to music a totally different way since I started learning piano. While I might not be able to name chords being played, I recognize them and the progressions in the music. Great stuff!

[edit] Oh, as far as problems I have, I find myself getting bored of practicing after about 30-40 minutes, especially if I am getting frustrated with not getting one thing right, and I keep doing it over and over. I found that if i break up my practicing into smaller blocks that helps overcome the boredom issue, as well as allows my brain to digest what I have been doing. Two sessions of 20 minutes per day seems better than one long 40-50 minute session.

I am SOO Happy! I JUST started and I'm here I am playing (a scale) with TWO HANDS the first time I tried!! Never imagined that I'd be using two hands-at the same time on a piano!! THANK YOU!!

[quadslife]

the red fingernail pollish really helps me see where your fingers are placed

[Suncoastpainting]

Your videos are perfect for a beginner like me. You are an excellent teacher.

C major scale may be the easiest to understand the backbone concept of how scales are formed by sight and ear using semitones and tones, and then translate that to the remaining 11 scales. But this is the first time I understand the reason for using D flat scale even though initially it looks dauntingly difficult - it is to familiarise the beginner with finger work playing by synchronising the usage of both thumbs

I'm an adult Beginner of 5 Years and I Like Your Videos I Hope to watch your Free Training when I get a moment I don't like classical Lessons I'm actually looking For more Pop/Christian Pop even though I want to Play Some Classical and I'm one of those Pianists stuck Playing Mary had a Little Lamb.

[philippabertacco]

I love your gentle but clear teaching style ❤ My 2 little girls have just started piano lessons and I'm relearning what I knew 30 years ago too. Your channel is going to be watched daily by all of us. 😊

[_KUNAL_-_]

It's my first time on your channel and I am also a beginner, thank you for this amazing video.

[zrgwbie]

I.m new, all green. I have had a passion for playing for a long time. I sang with a gospel group for a while and that really reminded me of spending my piano lesson on a pool game when I was young. So long story short, here I am and I think you are a fantastic instructor and I will be communicating with you in the near future and Thanks a million!

[pennythecat]

You are an excellent teacher and I love the routine you have developed for us newbies! Thank you.

[jamesallan]

Great instruction and insperation, as a guitarist this is the type of instruction I need to improve on the piano.

[jbentonio]

Another very helpful and encouraging video for my piano journey. Thank you! The thing I struggle most with in practicing piano is making the time. But as you say, even 10 minutes can be productive!

[musicandairplanes]

I just love how you are teaching! I have learned more in 5 of your videos than I have learned in 5 years with a book.

[nancysworld]

I started teaching myself piano a couple of years ago with YouTube then I stopped. Did it for a couple of months but did not progress much. Now I thought about starting again and I found your video. This is a great way to practice since I didn't know what to do before. My biggest challenge is keeping all of my fingers on the correct keys at I go up and down the piano especially my pinkies and ring fingers. I am also 62 and disabled and my hand dexterity is not as good as it used to be

[byktmdu]

your videos are fantastic, easy to follow and encourages me to persevere..I am 76 years old!!!

[lalamalelang]

Hi Im a beginner also in piano lesson keyboard. I can read notes music sheet. Im glad to see ur channel. Im refreshing also my piano lessons too. Im starting all over again and again. Ive learned a lot from u. Thanks so much. Im from Philippines

[raymondgeorge]

Beautiful way of teaching God bless you.

[blaupunkt]

One of the best videos about practice routine I've seen. In my opinion, you're absolutely right: we ought to start with warm up + scales + chords. I'd also add arpeggios of that particular scale as well, followed by one Hanon exercise. Then, and only then, we could kick off our "real study" - I mean, any method in particular (books, videos, one-on-one lesson etc) and repertoire. Best regards!

[lestere.a.wilson]

Hey Katelyn, you are the best... I accidentally came across your channel by chance and subscribed immediately.
Why? because you really simplify things that people who are competent can easily do, so they assume that beginners can do the same.

I have an advantage, because I am actually a musician who actually am familiar with most things on the piano.

But your lessons are teaching me little techniques I’m not aware of.
