Dear Francesca Thank you for this beautiful piece of music. I am a self taught adult ( old) beginner. I have been practising this for the past 3 weeks and am pleased I can play it - just need to improve in a smoother transition between the different sections. Working on it.. thank you sooo much. You are an awesome teacher..

Best piano teacher, The way you break it down to allow you to grasp the melody is fantastic as it gives you an understanding of the way it should ge played, Once mastered you can then put your own spin on the way you play. Which you pick up a lot easier. Slows it down to allow you to understand the chords. Credit to you.

@BitesizePiano Жыл бұрын

It’s very clearly shown, heard and explained which keys I’m playing. Piano keys don’t light up when pressed, and it’s frustrating that too many people are reliant on that :/ Implementing another program to show light up keys would take up more editing time (and money!), and I want to keep my tutorials free 🎹

I don't usually bother with video YT tutorials and struggle to follow them, but Francesca's method is unique and suitable for all I think.

Decided randomly today to get back on the keys and try it out for the first time in a few years. This tutorial was the first one I found, knowing Imagine would be an easier one to pick up on, and it could not have been more helpful! Unsure if this is the original arrangement or not, but I loved learning again regardless. This has encouraged me to pick up playing as a habit again!!! Thank you!

I heard Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys play “God Only Knows”. To my untrained ear, it sounded like it could be “BiteSized”. What do you think?

@MissBurgess1978 Ай бұрын

There are some things that she doesn’t explain - or that are confusing. Like dropping the g# b accent off the end of the verse. Or how in the left hand of the bridge, the screen shows “f f-e e-d d-c C-G ..” but she only plays the C one time, not twice. But all in all, if you have a decent ear and stick with it, ppl will figure it out and it is nicely done.
