More Free Videos, Audio and Lessons – Oh My! (A Cry For Help!)

As most of you already know, I am on a 4 month RV trip to Alaska..before I continue this post, I wanted to share this picture of me and my daughter taking a rest on a hike yesterday in Butte, Montana:

My baby is growing up, she is the youngest of 5 and she is going on 12 years old! (This is the stage where daughters still love their mommy’s!)

Anyway, even though I am on a trip, I am still thinking about you and have been wanting to give you new free material to play with, but I am not quite sure what you want! I have lots of my own ideas, but my ideas might not be the same as yours. What I really need to know is what you want because what you want is going to help me create new free videos, audio and lessons for you so you can reach your piano playing dreams!

At first, I thought I would have you “vote” on my ideas, but then I decided I would let you tell me what you truly want from online lessons, without me interfering. I do need to keep this a little bit under control so that there is not a lot of requests being made that is not related to what I offer, so let me just give you a couple guidelines for you to keep in mind as you give me your ideas:

1. First..keep in mind that I teach how to read music, so please make your requests related to reading music. I don’t have any support or lessons for playing by ear.

2. Please refrain from making specific song requests. The reason? That’s not the kind of content that would help you read sheet music. Don’t worry, I will be doing a survey really soon about what kind of songs you desire, but for now.. I need to know what you wish you had to help you learn to read music.
Reading music will enable you to play any of your favorite songs.. so instead of focusing on particular songs, let’s focus on playing any song! ~smile~

3. Here are some areas of most difficulty when learning to read music that might give you some ideas. Rhythm, counting out loud, reading music quickly, finger placement, left hand, playing with both hands, motivation, staying focused, regular practice, reading chords, overcoming boredom with beginner songs.

Ok, now it’s your turn! Give me your ideas and I will give you some more free videos, audio and lessons! OH MY!……..

  1. Here are my 2 ideas:
    1. I would like to see a video on how to get both hands to play smoothly together.
    2. Or, how do I count out loud without losing focus on where the notes are?

  2. Hi Lisa,

    I’m reading all your stuff very sporadically – bu t I’m happy to report that, at some level, YOU are teaching me how to play piano! I do have one idea for newbies.

    Movement – where either my left or right hand moves across the keyboard really screws with my brain. I need to get used to the “home” position of both hands before introducing a hand movement. By the time I advance to being able to shift hand position within a tune – I want to be more confident that I can sight read ALL the notes (without having to look down).

    I’d love to be able to play a whole tune in say, a minor key, without moving my hands too much. I’d get more of a sense of achievement.

  3. hi lisa, here’s my request:

    since i started playing piano i always wondered how to play with my both hands together in an easy way or a formula or something that helps with that procedure.

  4. Hi Lisa,

    Enjoy the wild and please be kind to it.

    I like your style and the lessons. I started this to prevent my
    brain from rotting in retirement. Unfortunately my old student problem is still here,lack of concentration. When I get a little success I am seized by a compulsion
    to leave the keyboard and not follow it up. At this rate I`ll
    need ten years to complete the free lessons.

    For the above reason I don`t feel justified in buying lessons.

    Any tips on concentration for old guys?

    Keep up the good work.

  5. I can already read music, although the bass cleff is a bit hard. But my problem is that I can’t play with two hands together while reading music, even more when I have to move my hand position. so that is what i would love to learn

  6. hey!, um i was wondering if you have lessons to learn how to play some of beethoven’s music. or if you can break down some of his music, everytime i read it, i get to the sixth page and everything goes bizzare because it gets confusing!

  7. Lisa,

    You already know what my first request is; to see you play so I can watch your hand movements and the proper fingering.

    But I do have one more desire, and that is for more tips for helping us read music. I love all your previous clips, and I am working on using them. But some of us still need more. I want to be able to read the measures while I play, not having to pause to figure out (no matter how I do it) each note, nor memorizing the song either. Is there an “in between?”

    Don’t worry Lisa, girls will always love their mothers, even when you both get much older!

    Karen

  8. I am having a hard time with the bass cleff, and getting both hands and my eyes to all, work together… I really like the way you teach and the music I have gotten from you. I’m doing okay with all of it, but I want so bad to pull it all together and play a song smoothly and completely. I am NOT giving up, I’ll keep smiling and working hard to play piano…. AND, to make my dreams come true…!!!!

  9. Hello Janice:

    I was having the same hard time with the bass cleft
    and getting both hands and my eyes to all, work
    together. My word of encouragement is Dont
    give up until mastered it . Maintain your focus.

    dream making true. My recommedation Practice
    Practice and practice. I am Practicing very hard
    and Let me tell you I am seen my Progress.
    Keeping in Good Work.
    I love you
    Your Friend

  10. I am starting to read music now, i am looking for another simple sheets like love me tender and amazing grace but i cannot find one. if you can give us additional materials where I can practice to read music.
    Thanks Lisa, enjoy your trip…

  11. Hi Lisa:

    Nice picture of you & your daughter. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

    I would like to get both hands working together smoothly
    without pausing & more classical music in an easy style.

  12. Barbie:

    Tell me who is your favorites classical composer
    and I can share classical songs that I have been
    learning, Do you like Frederick Chopin. This
    is the one of my favor composer.
    The Other one is Peter Ilich Thaikvosky. One is
    my favor classical piece of this composer is
    Swan Lake. I can share this music in the yellow
    session with you.
    Lisa may I have your permission to do that?
    Brunilda

  13. Hi Brunilda:

    That is so kind of you, how do you share music on here. Do you upload & that makes it available?

    I love most classical music but at this point need it in an easy format. I would love to see Swan Lake & see if I can master it.

    Thanks so much.

  14. I agree with everyone, I cannot get my two hands working together!!!! It’s driving me insane….. I know, practise practise and more practise

  15. I know more regular practice would help but I have trouble reading the music quickly, especially the bass clef. You’ve given us some visual tips like skipping lines, spaces that were helpful for finger placement. I guess more tips like that. I also need motivation to squeeze in practice time at this point and your emails are great motivators to me! Thanks!

  16. I wish I had time to learn the piano. I am in the US Army. We have a Chapel that has a piano. But, I have very little time to learn step by step. I have been slowly teaching myself how to play some songs that I have written. I can write any kind of song you can imagin. Do you have a DVD made for a quick learner?

  17. I’d love to learn the perfect position of hands on the piano. I’ve been reading that it’s very important to relax durig playing but I how no idea how to do that. Or how to asses if I’m relaxing or not. Also I notices that when ou play your piano you’re putting your fingers on the top of white keys. I always placed them in the middle. Is it a mistake?
    You know the basic stuff.

  18. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
    My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored
    myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping
    it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know
    any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off?
    I’d truly appreciate it.
