That lesson you give your kids...i cannot overestimate how good does it feel to see people of such well manners. And your music's metaphorical message is of the same class :) Thank you! UPD wow i guessed that A#G# ))) /i know i know that was on the surface/

,,,,,,italian senior pianist is touched deeply by the astonishing amount of care and detailed skillfullness of your teaching,,much better than ANY book,,,,,,you are such a lovely phenomenon and tremendously modest too..........you are restoring and compensating human wrongs and selfishness,,,,,,,wow

What I love about all your vids, Aimee, is how you invite us all into your home/studio as if we are old friends. You have such a nice, welcoming and friendly personality. And on one of your vids you even let us sit in on one of your teaching sessions with a young lady student who plays beautiful improvised melodies and sings angelically. I play classical piano (though certainly not at an advanced level) and it's always been a fact that most of my heroes are female; Martha Argerich, Valentina Lisitsa, Yuga Wang, Mitsuko Uchido and others too numerous to mention. The fact that they have smaller hands than their male counterparts doesn't deter them from playing scores which require them to reach tenths and elevenths, or more, without having to continually use broken chords or arpeggios. I find this amazing. How does somebody with small hands play Rachmaninoff or Chopin or Prokofiev? But they do! I always notice how they keep their beautiful fingers high, so obviously they had good teachers when they were young. I have no doubt whatever that you play classical music beautifully, Aimee. I wonder who your favourite composers are. And which female jazzers you enjoy most. x

9:25 The automatic subtitles said "Buddha looted uh" 🤣

I love the intro. Usually I hate long-winding intro of videos on youtube but Aimee can talk to me all day long and I'll never get tired of it. Love all your videos. Cheers from Japan.

Great use of metaphor to solo over chords--helped me a lot and I'm a bassist. Many thanks.

😬 a smile on my face throughout this video...you're brilliant!!

Hi Aimee! Thank you for generously sharing your experiences of jazz, especially jazz theory with us jazz fans all around the world. Your KZfaq videos have reached all the way to the north of Sweden, Vilhelmina, South Lappland. You are a truly great jazz ambassador. Keep on the good work! Love Mats

U may not know it, but you're a genius. I'm a classical pianist. I improvise too; but I'm fascinated by you and other jazz pianists. Thanks for sharing your mind yet again.

I'm so glad I've discovered this channel, it's opening up so many new things for me. Even as a long time guitar player who's just beginning on the piano. This channel is very inspiring. You're such an awesome lady!

Tanks lot Aimé, you have been waking up me from my long sleeping "out of blues"!! René, from Brazil.

Great timing Aimee.. I was improvising when I saw this.. changed my solo extremely.. thanks!!

Great ! Thank you Aimee 💕

Great life 101 lesson about listening, Aimee . . . I think your tip about asking a Q after someone has finished stating their thought is gold. Being a sensitive listener will pay huge dividends when we are having a musical "conversation" with another musician in an ensemble too : )

Thank you so much Aimee! This was really inspiring.

amazing time spent watching you...., as always...thank you so much

Aimee...WOW! A new perspective on writing/creating music. Great advise and would not have ever thought of it as it was explained. Thanks so much...

Thanks Aimee - You've hit the nail on the head. Again.

Aimee, yours is easily one of the best channels on KZfaq.

thanks so much !!! every time I watch one of your videos I run down to my piano and play along...awesome..!!

Thanks so much for sharing! I have taught the same methodology to my students. Once they realize that an improv is a thought and not a rambling of notes the result is something memorable. I always like to cite famous songs and their guitar solos such as Bohemian Rhapsody for example. Anyone who knows that song can sing the solo just as they would any vocal part. That is because Brian May is having a conversation with the listener through his instrument. I also like to cite how the V7 chord is the "suspense" to your story line. Which is then answered with the resolution to the I. Sort of a question/answer conversation. Keep sharing your great insights!

This video has been really helpful. I don't know how you manage to sing everything you play! You are a genius and a good teacher.

You are a fantastic teacher! I am so glad I found your channel.

This is good stuff. Thanks, Aimee - you're the best!

So nice lesson, but she's really adorable! Thanks for putting this video. You are the best teacher!!!

New Subscriber here, you're fantastic. Getting such joy and education from all of these videos. I don't even play piano, but all the tricks you're laying out will be just as useful regardless. Thanks for what you do!!

Great life lesson, and love the licks! Thanks for making my day!!

You are an amazing human!!

Thank you. Loved it!

I'm enjoying your playing AND your singing!

This time i listened to your lesson stoned and also this was a lesson in particular id needed to see for a while and it was a game changer in my confidence with note choice. What I love the most about your lessons is how you explain things because it is a lot like how i think when it comes to my music. I think we have a similiar approach and this is something I have been looking for for a while. Whenever Id pay for lessons or look lessons up they never really explained how to make music, it would be very handicapped for example just how to play a particular song, or even some theory but nothing too useful.

I've learned more things on this channel than my music school. I love you.

What a fresh and pure soul!!

Nice video and a great lesson, as always. Thank you Aimee.

LOVE your tutorials !! 🌈♬

what a cool concept for a video! loved it

Priceless jewels of advice. For beginners to pro's.

I am impressed at the fact that I am spontaneously learning piano. Half steps and whole steps!!! Simple aspects like conversations are starting to infiltrate my fingers... Ha! Yay me! Thanks Aimee.

Thank you so much for that conversation tip! Good advice just comes from the places I least expect :)

Awesome rule for teaching empathy. This is so much more than a music education channel!

Dear Aimee, you're quickly becoming my favorite music channel! keep up the awesome work! (for reference: I'm currently enjoying a lot adam neely, Rick beato, samurai guitarist, june lee and andrew huang) Cheers from Brazil!

Thank you for sharing, it helped me.

Great lesson - I so much need to practice this for a long time - so cool. Thanks

This video is gold

Great lesson!!! I enjoy your videos!!

This is a great lesson! Thanks a lot for share!

Amy nolte's music and life lessons!

That was a good lesson or concept. Thank you

Thanks Aimee. I think it's sinking in!! 😉

brilliant video. given me an epiphany. love the top you are wear too!!

So good. Thanks!

Pretty cool Aimee!

I love your videos!

I LOV THE WAY U TEACH JAZZ THANKS

i think yours is the only piano\music instruction videos that i totally get the giggles at. for example... 4:22

I’ve been invited to clinic a junior high jazz band in improvisation. I look forward to the day when they are ready for a blues conversation. First, they need to learn chord tones. Thanks for the video!

That's brilliant! I used to study classical music when I was younger, but then I moved onto blues and therefore swing and a little bit of jazz all by myself, and this video makes me realize that maybe I should take a couple of lessons on how to play this kind of music I mean I'm not to bad, but this is very well thought and played!

yessssss! Musical conversations!!! 😎

you are great. don't stop x

You are soooo great

great lesson

youre amazing

Somehow you know how to relate everyday things and put it in your musical concepts. Overall, this video is great, but from 0:00 to 1:45 is probably one of the best lesson for me ever. Thanks Aimee...

You're so fun to watch. You make me want to run over to my kids piano wipe off the dust and start playing. Unfortunately i never learned, but one day!

it would be crazy if your reflection on the piano plays the answers to the improvisation...

Hi, Aimee. Did I already comment on this? I think I may have started to but then got interrupted. Anyway, great video. And I love your rule for your kids. (I need to remind myself of this rule from time to time. I am not without fault in this department. But I am trying to get better.) Nifty blues playing. "The #11 is a great note to start your blues line on." I'll work on that this week. As always, thank you, Aimee Nolte!

Lol, this reminds me of a collegue of mine... it took one hour of nonstop listening before I could break free :D

Wow, you're awesome!

This lesson is worth about 20 grand, WOW, did you open up a whole new thought pattern. Awesome.

love your one question rule!

Love it when you sing along with the piano. I'm afraid that I will always think of the poor mother in law whenever I play the blues.

Aimee thank you so much please can you do a video on how to come up with musical idea or what can you do to always have good music ideas.

Keep talking Aimee. "It's not me" you say in 0.50 you see… that's why I like you....keep talking Aimee!

Just subscribed. You break things down really well. Could you please do a video on chord substitution, especially how they work in turnarounds? Such as the 1,6,2,5 and 2.5.1.

Genius !

Nice!

"How was your trip to Yosemite?", "I fell down the waterfall" it actually made me laugh :D You're super awesome haha :D I'll try this "conversation" style on the piano later at night because I honestly never have tried it before :D

I came up with more or less the same answer in my head. It had to include an A flat. Inner ears are Gods awesome creation...

Muy buena la conversación. Damos más ideas largas como las de minuto 12 gracias.

I love u haha thanks for THAT MUCH known... I would love going to your country just to take classes with U

You should totally get people to send in their "answers" and make a big fan jazz jam session!

Great lesson... great stories ... great licks. Great piano blues tips ! . And Aimee, Nice tasty rips showing us how it done. but.... can you tell some more of the story about who's pants fell down ?

i love you Aimee Nolte, :)

If you keep this up, everyone in the whole world will want to be a jazz musician. Even I've been exploring amazon.com for old Oscar Peterson recordings.

Can you please do a video showing us how your thought process on creating such tasty blues licks. Thanks

She is very funny.

great video!!thank you for uploading this!!!could you maybe do some day a video about motifs in improvisation?!!?? thanks again adrian

I would like to hear your thoughts on tuning frequencies. I have been playing at 432 Hz recently and I like it, it sounds slightly more old-fashioned somehow.

Have you got a harmony course?? The way you explain things is great!!

Great lesson and technique. I’m a fairly new adult student. I’m a chord and melody learner. Bought a Yamaha Clavinova. It has a chord looper that I can set up the chords and it plays them over and over. I sort of understand that the improv should be with the notes of that chord being played at that time, or is it the entire scale that is available to me? I’m having a very hard time thinking outside of the box. Thanks

Now I want to write a song with you about a trip to Yosemite 😛

BTW. Very interesting musical subject, Although I'm not a musician, but some friends are. Thanks.

Great ....

I really love you

nice one! :)

Woohoo!!! New video!

Aimme, you are great! i have a qustion : how important is it to focus practicing the blues progression on Bb? should i practive the blues in all 12 keys or some are more common/useful/practical than others? thanks alot!

Nice earrings.

Aimee you seem like you'll hit me if I said the wrong answer! :P Fan of your work!

Are you playing single notes with your left hand? It sounds like a walk up in most cases but I’m not sure.
