To sound busier and fuller: 1. do more of what you are already doing 00:38 2. adding passing notes 2:18 3. play notes that compliment the root note 3:38 4. add octaves 7:00

But, (may I add), your ‘techniques’ sound absolutely awesome…”DHANYAVAAD!”…Pianote with Lisa.

Just discovered this channel about 2 weeks ago, right around the time my keyboard broke. I could listen to you all day and not get bored or frustrated. It doesn't even have to be piano or music. I smile and nod when you demonstrate a trick or tip and the piece just comes to life. Please keep the videos coming, you have a new fan.

I just hope you will be my instructor. Thanks for all that you do to help us, beginners with our musical aspirations.

Your videos hit different. You have a way of stepping out from the common music theory curriculum way of teaching this stuff. I have a difficult time understanding the bigger picture from long tedious technical explanations. You have a smooth way of getting to the point without adding too much context. Brilliant. 🎉

Thank you so very much for being such a great instructor. I am a beginner and having a lot of fun with chords after learning them from your video lessons. I was also struggling with a piece of music; it sounded SO WRONG even though I practiced the piece diligently. After watching one of your videos, I added emotion and dynamics to the piece of music. Wow! There was an immediate improvement. Thank you for making piano lessons simple, fun and interesting!
