ABOUT LISA WITT
I love to help students unlock their full musical potential. I have taught in a wide variety of settings from Music for Young Children to helping recording artists prepare their songs for the road. I also have specialized experience working with children that struggle with learning, developmental, and physical disabilities. While my background is classical, I’m currently focusing on helping my students play the music they love by ear! I’m excited to be a part of YOUR journey as you learn how to sight read, play by ear, and progress through musical theory. It is going to be fun!

I am a self-taught piano player, been playing 12 years, following Pianote for past couple years. Cannot say enough how impressed I am with Lisa Witts teaching ability & methods. She presents numerous techniques & topics, in a way that doesn’t intimidate you. She inspires me to practice more so I can be a better player. How great a teacher is that??? 👏👏

Thank you for these videos. I’m 56 and knew nothing of a piano. In a weeks time your beginner videos has taught me so much. Not up to playing a song yet, but I’ll get there soon. Lol. Thanks again and I highly recommend your video to all beginners.

11:51 I really love the arpeggio sound. It’s used so much more now then when I grew up and is very effective.

Simple notes with your magical hands touch it creates a beautiful, peaceful lovely music. ❤

I'm leaving a comment now because I can't get through this video. It's awesome. Had to pause a couple times in the first sections, then stopped totally @6:50 to play around with that for 20 minutes. Then I watched to @8:10 and paused AGAIN to fiddle around. I love these chords and arpeggios! Perfect level for me! Awesome video! Sounds so good!

[SingularForce]

Wow! You are a fantastic teacher. I feel fireworks going off in my head as I watch and jaw drop at your brilliant lessons. Your simplicity and spiritedness are carrying me along much faster than I have been able with other teachers, though some are quite good.

This content is just Outstanding! I have not sat down and played piano in a great many years but after watching this and a few of your others YT videos, I am getting the urge to jump back into it. Impressive.

Hi, I'm an independent recording artist, and I'm a self-taught pianist who has been playing since I was 11. I heard that piano riff from Coldplay's "Clocks" in a supermarket on day and went nuts because it's so crazy beautiful. I couldn't calm down until I went home and started playing it myself. BTW, you have a nice teaching style.

[richardcarlin]

Glad to see you doing both right and left. I originally just did left, but once I saw you on another video do right, I did that. It took me a month before I could do it.

[ulrichried]

[autohubpassionforcars]

All that i know regarding piano... chord progressions/ key's/ and triades... i owe you!

Respect!

Excellent video. I am a hobby guitarist and subscribed to Pianote a few days ago. So far I like the "method". It starts a little bit different compared to a traditional piano method but it seems to be really good. You learn how to relax your hands and prepare your muscles for the piano first by doing a few simple but very effective exercises. Then you start playing chords and this helps to develop hand independance and keyboard "orientation". Playing melodies comes later. Lisa is a very friendly and capable host.
I am enjoying the course so far and hope I will continue to progress. I can recommend the website for total beginners but also for musicians who already play another instrument than piano or people who gave up in the past and want to return to the piano. Unlike traditional piano methods you don't start with boring or "cheesy" pieces.
