      Many thanks, been searching for "what are notes above the staff called?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Penaycer Rudimentary Preponderance - (do a google search ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to play the piano easily minus the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.

    Very well explained I've always wanted to play Piano since I was a child but though their was an old upright in the living room, my Parents could not afford lessons for me, my friend had lessons and hated them, now I'm 72 yrs of age and have just ordered a 61 key Midi so I'm gonna give it a try, love the way you teach!

    I am 65, had music theory for a semester in college & loved it. Been musical all my life. Started taking piano 4 decades ago but relocated & had to stop. Now I want to help teach an autistic adult who appears to have interest in music AND perfect pitch when he sings. Here's hoping you can help both of us! Thank you!!!

  • @officialkazekata
    @officialkazekata Před 4 lety +9

    This video was literally THE most helpful thing I've ever come across. I asked countless people to help me figure out how the whole deal behind key note order and I swear each response made me more confused than the last because of how complex the answers they gave me were. You saved my musical life with this video!!

  • @sarahyeskey5755
    @sarahyeskey5755 Před 7 lety +257

    The way I was taught was "c" stands for "chopsticks", because there are two keys. Then "f" means "fork" for the same reason. 😁

    • @neoadviser8056
      @neoadviser8056 Před 5 lety +2

      here's a few ideas for how to learn piano
      Try practicing about an hour each day, or even half an hour if you are very busy.
      Do more practice whenever you can. For example, on weekends you could do more than 1 hour, perhaps two or three, or even more. This is helpful because it pulls you out of the routine of piano playing, and lets you practice more and perfects the pieces you play.
      (I discovered about these and more from Denelle Piano Lesson site )

    Thank you! Very inexperienced with music. I had somewhat of an idea on piano notes but never connected that C and F will ALWAYS be before a set of 2 and 3 black keys respectively. Thanks for that perspective.
