  • Debussy's Clair de Lune is one of the most beautiful, most iconic classical pieces of all time. The original version of this song is quite challenging, so we've got a simplified version to make learning this piece a little more accessible ❤️
    Claude Debussy began composing the remarkably romantic piece in 1890 when he was only 28 years old, but it wasn’t finished for another 15 years!
    The title translates as ‘Moonlight’ and it is actually part of the four-movement work: "Suite Bergamasque."
    The beautiful work has been featured in dozens of films including, "And the Ship Sails On", "The Darjeeling Limited" and even "Twilight"
    Lisa is here to show you how you can play this classic piece 👩🏼🏫🎹❤️

      Miss Katie amazing is an understatement because of piano note and this wonderful instructor Miss Lisa if these people were around 45 years ago I think I would have made mr. Lee Liberace have a smile on his face they make learning piano so fun and easy and I like to say mind you I went to college for a liberal arts as a music Major I have never gotten so far then I have with instructors like this I just started playing piano again 4 years ago because of piano note mr. Steve Lundgren Mister Cavanaugh the Boogie Woogie Man instructors like this is exactly what we needed if they would have taught us this kind of stuff that's what I was going to college or even in high school I think I would be a 10 times better musician today within the next year I'm going to be Al playing in piano bars very soon and that's because of instructors like this and help me so amazing is that what you said Miss Katie I thank God for instructors like this! My best wishes to you Miss Katie I hope that you find the music that's inside you best Wishes Always! Teddy

    This is my late grandmothers song. I`ve decided to learn this, so I literally can play this whenever I think of her. She taught me to dance, sing and play the piano when I was young. She meant everything to me. Your tutorial will be the reason I can accomplish this, thank you🤗

    This brought tears to my eyes! My grandmother was a concert pianist. She used to play this when we would visit. When I was growing up; I took piano lessons until I was twelve. I quit. I played by ear; and just couldn't deal with the boring, mundane drills. I'm so thrilled with the thought of actually playing real songs...not just "lessons!"

      I know the feeling. I started to learn piano when I turned 50, and then stopped after a few years. Now that I'm 61, I want to desperately get back into it, and Lisa (now that I know her name) has given me the chance to reconnect with something that I was so passionate about. The journey continues, and the best of luck to you on yours.

    This is the very first piece I have played on a piano which I bought for my granddaughter LISA. I can't stop playing it as soon as I try the first couple of lines. I had never thought I could play piano before watching your video. I also use your videos to teach my granddaughter music theories and reading grand staff. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video and the sheet music.

    Thank you for this, I was literally looking for an easy tutorial for Clair de Lune 2 days ago and I felt defeated. Tutorials I found were either too hard for my level or a “guitar hero” style that didn’t show how I should position my hands. I love this channel, I could listen to you play all day! 🥰

    I played piano for years as a child but quit by the 5th grade. Thankfully I played violin through high school. So even though im almost 30 now, picking up piano again isn't tooo overwhelming haha. Always loved this song so much and I'm excited to learn it finally!

  • @kenmccarty6229
    @kenmccarty6229 Před 2 lety +8

    Just the intro…but nice to see it in a different key. I suppose key of C might be simpler to a beginner. But it’s hard for me to think of this as a beginner piece. But as a beginner, I did learn this intro in the original key. So just the intro, yeah. Thx

  • @jamieredden554
    @jamieredden554 Před rokem

    I have been fascinated by this song ever since the first time I heard it at 11 years old. I'm looking forward to downloading this arrangement of it and maybe turning it into an arrangement with a church hymn

    I am glad that you did this, but you should add the note that this piece is not in 3/4 but in 9/8 (a 4/4 with plus a half-beat or 8/8 + 1/8). It is a awkward to get used to it when you are new to tempos, but... it makes a big difference in the final result. All the best.
