Hello, and welcome to pianoTV! I'm your host, Allysia, a piano teacher, musician and overall music enthusiast based in the Canadian prairies, bringing you videos all about how to play piano. Allons-y!
Practice chord theory with me! (Grade 4)
Hey all! In this long video, I go through the entirety of Schumann's Little Etude (Level 4) and break down each and every one of the chords in the piece. The purpose of this video is to show you how to go about identifying chords in music, as is expected for my grade 4 students. We look at both the root/quality chord symbols and functional chord symbols.
You'll need to be relatively comfortable with chords prior to this video. You'll need a solid grasp of major and minor chords, and a sense of how to deal with 7 chords too. Note that I go fast; you will likely go slower on your own.
This video won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I hope it helps some of you out there! Stick around until the end of the video for the exciting conclusion on what to do with that pesky measure 3 chord. :)

Your content is GOLD, I can’t believe you offer so much for free. I’m 41 and learning piano and preparing for RCM 3- your guidance has been indispensable
Bar 12 is G#dim 7 = gm7b5?
HI could you do a tutorial for Sonatina in F major op 36 No 4 by Clementi, similar to this, Thanks Gigi
Alicia, thanks for doing these videos!
thank you so much for bringing us such precious content! I found Baremboim's opinion on live music really interesting, I've never thought about adapting my performance to the environment. That's eye opening

Please, please, hold the book steady for awhile so we can actually read the title. Thank you. This request is from a 70s grandmother who is interested in your selections but the pace of your video is hard for me to catch the titles. Thank you!!
Please do history on Serbian and maybe more Polish composers

Hi, could you evaluate the folding pianos? Are they worth it?
supERfluOUS <--- that is how you pronounce it, if you are a kid and not familiar with English
Hello, I am trying to find out what level Mozart's K 545 piano sonata is for a reference to the level of these Haydn piano sonatas. I am just getting to the level of being able to manage this Mozart sonata somewhat, so some similar level Haydn piano sonatas to learn would be great for me right now.
What a cute keyboard!
get a midi controller + pianoteq
Do you think this could be a good keyboard to start learning piano? I'm an amateur violinist and just want to learn some piano to improve my violin playing (better understanding polyphony, chord progressions etc) But I also want to avoid any bad habits to ruin the possibility of more serious piano learning in the future.
I would suggest getting something with more keys, 49 or preferably 61. You can just get a MIDI controller and use it with your PC as well.
I have this one too. For composing on the go or at home, it's the perfect size. With USB, a laptop and a pair of headphone, you have an entire studio
Can you explain the setup to video record your keyboard in the back? I want to record my mands playing in a vertical angle. I have a mic tripod. What camera are you using?
What can people practice with 37 keys? For the money there are folding keyboards with 88 keys. And some travel keyboards have built-in rechargeable batteries. If you can get even 6 hours on a single charge, more convenient than having to buy batteries all the time. The main problem with a keyboard with small keys is that the fingerings can be off when you switch back to a full-size keyboard or piano later on. Besides touch sensitivity, would be nice to have weighted keys which hardly any travel keyboard has at the moment. Travelled with the Piano de Voyage from France. Comes in 4 modules you can carry in your suitcase that adds up to 88 keys: 15 (controller module) + 24 + 24 + 25. The keys are full-size semi-weighted for about $1500. Better than entry level keyboards like Yamaha Piaggero, Roland Go or Casio CTK.
37 keys is a compromise. It's not too bad for sketching musical ideas or trying out chords etc. Maybe play a synth part (There are more than a few synths with just 37 keys). But putting both hands on is more or less a stretch. 49 would be much better. On the other hand 49 becomes too large already. Most people with small to average sized hands can adjust to small keys easily as long as the keybed feels ok. The keybed on this is fine (same as the Reface synth series). PSS A50 can also run on rechargeable AAs if you wish (stated in the manual). But of course another option is to get similarly sized MIDI controller and use with your laptop/tablet. An Arturia Keystep 37 for example has an amazing keybed and build quality. But as you say none of this is a substitute for a piano, if you are solely interested in piano practice. It can be a nice way to enjoy yourself when travelling though.
For composing, teaching demonstration purpose, it's absolutely fine
@@smithjason5887 Not saying the Yamaha keyboard is the best or the worst in the market. For the money you're paying there are alternatives. I have both the 1st release of the Folding Piano 88 from Carry-on that is NOT touch sensitive for $100 and the later release of the folding keyboard that IS touch sensitive for $150. I have all 88 keys for composing or arranging music. I still need to try my pieces on a full-size keyboard since the smaller keys would throw off the fingerings. As a practice instrument I prefer a folding keyboard with 88 full-size keys. Even a smaller keyboard with an octave up/down buttons is not ideal for learning proper fingerings and big jumps when switching to a regular keyboard later.
for vocalists who mainly need a piano for a company man, 37 keys is more than enough for chords and basic melodies. like what Lewis capaldi does in most of his songs.
@@othinus Guess if you're just using a keyboard for church hymns iwould be ok. But when doing more complex stuff like Beethoven or Mozart probably not.
This sells for 85 euros here and it's a real steal. The keybed is the same used in the yamaha reface synths that sell for 300+. Long time ago I learnt to play on a 4 octave PSS 480 which was amazing. I hope yamaha expands the range.
2:59. Why are both treble clefs? Is that normal?
It happens sometimes
In bar 19 (slur hops), shouldn't the 7th note be staccato? The left-hand version 2 bars later has the staccato mark and it sounded like you played it that way.
Allysia - I'm relatively new to your channel - just came across this video and the other related RCM videos. Thanks for the introduction to the RCM system. I realize this isn't an instructional program, but rather an evaluation of skill level. And that's exactly what I need. I have a couple different very good instructional online programs. I need the RCM tools both as an of my current skill level, now and I progress, and to provide focused goals to guide the practice sessions in the instructional program. The RCM material will directly score my levels, but I can also use it to (for example, at the early levels) focus on expanding equivalent levels with all keys, not just those tested. i've ordered both Preparatory series (A & B) and the Level 1 and Level 2 sets. Looking forward to achieving both levels and extending into Levels 3 & 4. So - again, thanks for the presentation and explanations.
Some suggestions: 1. don’t make fun of age. You’ll probably face it one day, 2. Before you do these videos, check proper pronunciation: for example , BAYREUTH. Your pronunciation was awful. And Bayreuth (in Bavaria/Bayern) is an important city in the history of music…you might revisit.
It’s not easy to face a camera and narrate a life’s story successfully. I have to say you do succeed. Quite a lot must be that you love the subject, and I find that, personally, LOVEly.
To me, it is refreshing to find an attractive female who knows the history of composers. Having read Alan Walker’s massive and comprehensive three times, you nailed this very well.
If jazz didnt exsist then id like classical but it does.
Ok yes the first song u recommended was alright but jazz exsists rather just stick to that theres no point listenning to classical
Wow so good i liked
Thanks!
Do you think it's possible to rank those guys. I'm from Poland, chopin speaks to my soul. I think rest of those guys are great but I'm from Poland. Chopin speaks directly to my heart. And I don't know much about piano music. So I guess question is moronic. You like what talks to you, I guess
I answered my own question, yes me

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren. Danke für diese wundervolle Reportage. Ich besitze ein originales Portrait von Johann Sebastian Bach in Öl aus dem Jahren um 1724 ,aus seiner Zeit in Köthen. Sollte die internationale Bach-Forschung Interesse daran haben, setzen Sie sich bitte mit mir hier in Verbindung. Danke !
I recognise the 'Swamp Poodle' from listening to Memphis Slim. He sometimes used it and sometimes called his recordings 'Boogie'. Canned Heat ('don't forget to Boogie') tried to write what it called, 'Boogie', but I think they get their idea about it's sound from John Lee Hooker and goodness knows from where John Lee Hooker got his meaning of Boogie from, because it didn't sound at all like something people can dance to.
This is alchemy. Thank you for sharing!
You aware of Beethoven Sonata 32?
You are always inspiring and I hope you'll find such fun and inspiration in new seasons that are ever-changing!
OH MY. That is an epic load of different commitments!
I love this reminder that technique is the "Building Blocks" of music making! So much YES!
Thank you for your perspective. Some say we just need to study the repertoire practicing its passages. What are your thoughts there?
Thank you! Can you run a finger or a pointer along the sheet music to help us follow along?
Best general , basic intro to MuseScore. However, re composing, would it be so much easier to play instrument(s) and record in MIDI, save as .mid files. Then, just play recorded midi file in MuseScore, which will turn file into sheet music. A lot easier than manually input notes one by one. Further edit and refine as necessary, and playing/composition can be published or be first draft for further work and embellishment later. But, thanks very much for this excellent intro of sw, with or without subscription.
Thanks!
Very useful! Piano teacher from Mexico here! Cheers!
You talk too fast.
Thanks a lot, Allysia, for your great lessons !!! 💌🌹💌
I love this chanel but PLEASE, PLEASE check out the pronunctiation of the names before you say them. If you google how to pronounce "ALBÉNIZ" it appears. It's i-SÁC al-BÉ-niz, ma-NUEL de FA-lla, en-RI-que gra-NA-dos
as a spanish music student, here's a list of exelent spanish and catalan composers: enrique granados (super well known and amazing, suite española or goyescas) Isaac Albeniz Eduard Toldrà (sonetí de la rosada) Pau Casals (aka Pablo, but please don't say pablo, is the spanished version of his name, that was pau, el cant dels ocells) Frederic Mompou (chansons et danses) Xavier Montsalvatge (wild variety of keyboard pieces)
