Very clearly explained- patient and thorough- very useful - thanks a lot.

[lesliecohen]

Thanks again for another great lesson! Love your lessons! You have helped me learn to play piano ! I am a total beginner and now I have 4 songs that I can play well!

Finally I have found a Piano tutorial channel that's not only about a person playing the piece and that's it, I like how you explain the fingering very slowly. You have gained a subscriber.

Hi, your teaching is so wonderful. I love it.
Maybe I'm wrong but I miss one group between F-sharp / C and A-flat /F... at time 24:34

F-sharp / C
[ G / E-flat ] left hand B / C / E-flat ] right hand
A-flat / F

Have a nice day !

Thanks so much again. You guided me through part one. I did the rest on my own but I came back to watch measure 33 and your fingering advice helps a lot!

The min 2nds are so gorgeous. Everytime I hear this piece I just feel so golden inside.

[sschang]

thanks for the tutorial, just wondering if there is a system to this composition, ?and if yes could you explain? Or just listen and memorise which is what I am doing though I am missing notes here and there :) thanks so much again for your patience and teaching!

[lehoatran]

Practicing this is extremely very much a lot mesmerizing in an addictive way. This is one I also learned (and loved playing) on guitar way back 😊😊😊🎶🎶👍👍😍😍

[chriskelly]

Thank you Piano Keys. I needed that. I have been having trouble with the last two measures. It’s OK now.😊

[canyouseeme]

I do know I am a bit late but I want to thank you 🙏🏼
I have been trying to learn the rest of this piece and I finally found someone who explains it well. Thank you :)

[photocreo]

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. Could you please tell what is the reasoning behind the fingering you use ? In most sheet music for this piece, there are fingers 3 and 1 at the beggining and for first few measures the left hand stays in the same position.

[HiHello-rsey]

Thanks so much 😊 🙏
I appreciate it
It helped me so much !

Hello. I have been working on this piece with you for about a month and I think I will have learned it completely in 2 days. really thank you so much. I also have a small request. There is a song on YouTube that I've been looking for a tutorial video on for hours, but I couldn't find even one channel that explained it the way I wanted. Would you consider making a tutorial for the piece One Summer's Day?

[harper-nicoleanderson]

Wow, you are so great, especially since I learned how to speed up the video. (Of course I love how you are slow and methodical so even relative beginners can learn this) This piece is compelling in that it is so repetitive which on one hand makes it easy bit OTOH makes it difficult because the changes are so subtle. (especially for me because I learned playing by ear) Thank you so much!
