Even though it's fairly simple, even for someone who doesn't know anything about playing piano; it's also straight up fun and could be a stepping stone for some people to actually start learning how to play! It's so nice seeing someone's face light up when they realize "I'm actually making/playing/improvising some music even though I first thought that I wasn't musically inclined at all."

fun idea! the black notes really are overpowered...

HEY !!! You are a GENIUS!!! I am sending this off to friends who never know what I am talking about when I say 'Pentatonic'.

I ve been playing piano for over a decade and this is pretty much what Im capable of if I were to improvise on D# 😁

Actually, this is so brilliant, it shows how music works without the jargon. Leave home, go somewhere else, but always come home. You really are a good teacher :)

Great idea, I will try with my 4 year old daughter. Also Alfred’s books start with groups of 2 and 3 on the black notes, it’s a great way to teach also adults afraid of the black keys!

Thank You

Thanks!

Basically the blues, ie minor pentatonic

Thanks for your accurate lessons

Can you make a video that's dedicated to voicings and voicings only? Like the "formula" for the tried and tested one that jazz musicians have been using for quite a while. For maj7, min7, dom7, and progressing to the more complex chords.

Interesting and brilliant approach. The usual non-pianist piece is the two finger Chopsticks.

The jargon bit had me cracking up.

I play organ and never really had the chance to play much piano, I've always felt funny about it because a good church organist is suppose to have 7 years of experience on piano before they even touch the organ.
