From 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 don't love the sound of this but it exists!" always finding the silver lining! :D

I bought a keyboard about a month ago, and this channel has been my number 1 source of learning, thanks a lot! This video is great and easy to understand 💙

[Daybara]

I’ve not had such understanding in my life! I’m playing piano beautifully now!!!

[ZM]

This lady is a great teacher I'm only understanding her teaching she knows how to teach and she makes it fun so that you won't get bored

[ayeleraberra]

I played guitar for over 30 years and trying to understand the nature of cords. I only new the cords but never had a lesson explained to me like this.
Great to have as my music teacher.

[StartEnjoyingPianoPractice]

Great! So nice to have all chords in 1 video :)
There is also 1 nice trick for the 7th chords. Sometimes it's not that obvious what is the 7th step of the scale if you don't know the scale, let's say D major scale. To find the 7th for Dmaj7 just go 1 semitone to the left from D - and it's C# (So Dmaj7=D F# A C#).
With minor 7th it's similar but with 2 semitones to the left. So From D, 2 semitones to the left is C (Dmin7=D F A C). Some time ago I created a video about it so feel free to check it out :)
it's quite useful when you want to quickly find the 7th :)

My goodness! This has been at the top of my wish list for a long time, but never got around to completely research it. Today, it plops right into my lap. Thank you!!! Never really understood diminished and augmented cords, and you just blew my mind.

[HamidShibataBennett]

I’m about four weeks into playing piano. I am very much appreciating your lessons!

[LisaRSArt]

Thank you for this. Love it and enjoy them all together in one video along with chord sheet. Chords made easy. Yay!!!! You’re awesome! 👏👏❤️

[ryanphillips]

Finally! Now I understand the difference between Cmaj7, dominant 7 and "C7". Been confused for years. Thank you!

[gigioz]

I love the suspended 4th or sus4. I love the sound when its followed by it's root chord.

[hritwikchakraborty]

Heartfelt thanks to you for helping me learn playing the keyboard. You're the best. ❤️

[evansbowen]

Thanks so much for this. I have a few piano students and this is so helpful for me to teach them a style other than the strict classical that I was taught. My students are making me be a student again.

[samantharouth]

Thank you for always teaching with so much ease. You make piano lessons super interesting and create an eagerness to give them a try! 😉😀

[eriquelukong]

You are simply the best. The best for someone like me who just bought a keyboard during the pandemic lockdown.

Some of those chords have a lovely "dark and stormy night" vibe! Cool!
