    Hi Lisa. You are a great teacher. Your videos made me buy a MIDI keyboard and a KORG PS700 keyboard. Now I practice every day 5 to 6 hours. Thanks for lessons on CZcams. Although I am 72 years old playing scales and very simple songs, it prevents my hands getting arthritis. Great show...looking forward for more great lessons. Thank you.

      The keyboard player for Journey, Jonathan Cain, was struggling as a young musician in Hollywood, and was feeling like he might give up. He talked to his father, who said, "don't stop believing." He remembered those words, and now they are a part of one of Journey's top songs. True story.

    I have been wanting to learn piano since I was very little. I was never able to afford a keyboard until about 2 weeks ago when I was helping a friend that has a second hand store and she gave me the deal of a lifetime. A full 88 key keyboard for just $75. Brought it home that same day and looked on CZcams for a piano teacher and found you ! I knew right away that I had hope to be able to learn from you and I love your excitement it gives me excitement and confidence that I can and will learn. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💓

Without meaning to, you put everything in a easy logical way enabling me to understand the chords and what you were doing. Bravo, you have a new subscriber and i have a heap of content and an increasing urge to take up piano.

    First off, I have spent a lot of time playing songs I don't really care for or want to learn. Now I understand, in order to play well I have to learn the song. And I have to learn the rhythm as well. So, investing lots of time trying to learn pieces found in piano progression books is frustrating and self-limiting for my practice. You have opened my eyes to what my practice will look like from now on. I love your smile and your exuberance. You are very motivating and easy to watch and learn from. Thanks so much for all your efforts.

My mom is the piano player for her small country church, and she is getting very old and will soon not be able to play. I feel as though I will need to step in and play one day for her. Even though it won't sound anything like she played, this gives me hope that I can at least make beautiful sounds on the piano. Thank you so much for making this video! ❤❤
