i'm definitely going to have to go through this video several times nice and slowly, however, this is excellent. I am totally blind and have been since birth. I appreciate you not just doing the hand movements, but verbally describing exactly what you are doing. obviously, visual aids do me no good. having you verbally describe what we are about to do, and then you actually demonstrate it is wonderful. please keep up that method of technique. It is extremely invaluably helpful!

This is the best Left-Hand patterns tutorial ever created! I wanna cry😢 thanks so much for sharing this beautiful treasure. Greetings from the Dominican Republic, you've been really, really, really helpful.

I have been playing in a band for almost a year playing simple chords and some basic melody techniques, but all these tutorial videos are so easy to understand and have taken my piano skills to the next level!

I've watched other piano videos but none have had such an impact on my piano skills as these ones. I'm now able to write my own music and improvise on existing melodies using arpeggio's and playing around with chord inversions.

You are an excellent teacher!

Hands down the best piano teaching channel on YouTube ... You do not teach us to play Piano. You teach us to explore ourselves to play piano.

I think arpeggios are most powerful exercise for left hand. Arpeggios improve left hand speed, understanding of chords, and is great accompaniment....

Please make more videos on arpeggios, simple patterns to advanced patterns including popular ones.

I need a video on creating melodies, how to pick notes from the chords and them branch out from there and making it more complex

[bryanreed]

I am an adult beginner and have loved finding instruction on YouTube. Your videos in particular have been much appreciated. Thank you for sharing!

I love the way to teach.. It gives the impression that a mother is guiding her child to learn something new with tenderness

If these Videos had been around 10 years ago i probably wouldn't have given up on my keyboard but now you've convinced me. I took a Hammer to the piggy bank yesterday and today i'm off to buy a piano.
Yaaay !!

Every now and again on the journey of life..one has certain "aha" moments...this lesson was one of those for me re left hand arpeggios! I used to just kind of plonk the left hand down on the triad in some random form..and be focused on the right hand..but this has been revolutionary. Thank you so much for a great video and lesson!

You're one of the coolest piano teachers on youtube. Keep up the good work.
May God bless you

These patterns will be so lovely during ministry time in church 😍

[kathylynch]

In trying to get back to playing After 50 years!! Love your channel. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you

[maeganhoeffel]

This video is so amazing!!! I play in a church band and these patterns will be helpful to create a peaceful mood...loved the spa arpeggio!! For all those people out there who are trying to learn piano: “You can do it! I’m only 13 years old and even at my young age these videos are completely awesome and simple to follow. Make your own kind of music with these patterns.” Thank you Pianote!

I am 57 yrs old and Enjoying your piano teaching. The ones i learn, i also share these to about 20 children in the church i minister. Thanks much.

[wrmery]

it makes me so happy that i knew all of these already? i've been playing for two years but mostly self taught with yt videos and i never learnt the technical stuff, but i figured all of these out on the side :)
thanks for the video!

[_JACK.]

I needed this! Definitely need a part 2. All of these we really peaceful and relaxing, laid back. Maybe part 2 could be super energetic or maybe dark (though maybe playing these in minor keys would make it dark)

[beckyh.]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I've learned more from you then I have in 4+ years in private lessons! Thanks!

Lisa, I just want to say that you are an amazing teacher. Your left hand exercises are simple but very, very helpful. The importance of left hand proficiency cannot be stressed enough. In my opinion a strong left hand is what makes someone sound like a real professional, even though the right hand may be doing something very simple.
Thank you for all your help Lisa... you are a cool cat.
