the love this woman has for the Cmaj scale will never be surpassed

I started focusing on B major recently instead of C, helped me learn black keys real fast! Cool tip from Chopin if that helps anyone :)

I enjoy all of your videos. I'm an adult learner. I started self teaching a number of years ago, quit when my adult son passed suddenly. I restarted 1.5 years ago. Using my piano practice to heal. I started seeing piano teaching videos but yours are the best. My opinion only, others say they are teaching but actually doing more showing off than teaching. Paid piano lessons isn't possible as I'm retired living on social security. I appreciate your lessons and directing your lessons to actual beginners. Thank you

Just want to let you know, I'm a 63 year old man and always wanted to play the piano. I bought a small keyboard by Casio but it has full size keys years ago and just life kept getting in the way. I now have the time and watched a few of your videos and it got me to get it out and set it all up. I'm practicing now all because of you girl. I would love to have a teacher like you. You make me as new to this feel good about it and when I mess up I don't get frustrated with myself. I hear your voice saying it's OK just keep going. Your bubble energy and sweetness is so good to see and hear. we need more of that in this crazy world. By the way when I get a little better and stick with it I'm going to go get an 88 key piano but it will be a reward to me for staying with it. Thank you for getting me started I'm having so much fun other then when my hands get tired. LOL

Great advice! I'd add only one very small thing: sing the scales as you play them, even if you're not a singer, even if you think you look and sound stupid. This is CRUCIAL to connect your hand movements to your (inner) voice, and with the habit, it's so good for your mood! Just give it a shot, you'll thank me down the line.

Practicing scales builds what many call muscle memory (which btw is more like a nerve-thing …). But also it helps you becoming and staying confident and fluent in playing the piano as well as memorizing and focussing on the voicing and tone of each single key. Scales may also assist in understanding the fundamental playground of the chords on the scale.

I love that she's positive and that she's trying to keep people from getting bored. But, I'm not bored. I'm so ADD and her talking is VERY distracting. Rather than distracting me by talking, I would love a version where she reminds me to tuck my thumb every time. I love all of the info and the backing track.

I just turned 75. I’ve been singing in musicals since college, during the Johnson administration. Recently I performed in Young Frankenstein where I had this solo that I knocked out of the park people came up to me after a remarked that they didn’t know I was such a good singer. So right then an there I decided to take action. I signed up for voice lessons to improve my singing voice. The dragged a keyboard out of the closet and vowed to teach myself how to play. After looking at several YouTube sites I found yours. Your smile and simple technique sold me.

Oh wow you gave me a good workout tonight. I'm 63 years old and a beginner learner as of this pass Sunday and I really enjoyed these scales. I'm definitely going to get my left hand to cooperate with my right. Love this video ❤. New subscriber here 😂

I’d love to see tutorials like this but for other scales. There are some ones that have way weirder fingering with the sharps. I’m getting really good at C major since that’s what all the ‘beginner’ tutorials focus on lol

Is there videos of Lisa playing all the keys of the major and minor scales? I dont mind paying. Her enthusiasm is infectios

Best lessons ever. Amazing teacher <3 Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve literally been working on the c scale and this video sincerely helps! ❤

your method of teaching is helpful not only for students but also for piano teachers keep up the good work

That's was actually quite fun to play along with. Thanks

It helps to navigate the keyboard when playing a song in a key signature. Helps to remember the sharps and flat with each scale.

I am London Underground 'Mind The Gap!' For it is within The discipline of The Scales We make Our own Music xxx

I love how you start the video going right to the point. Thanks!

This is one of the Best piano-learning channels on YouTube, I am so glad it is here
