Love the genuine togetherness in this video,

What a wonderful way of teaching! Having a beginner, your husband, like us, there makes it easy for us learn as we see the real progression that will occur. So wonderful! Thank you!

What a lucky man ! A wonderful wife and a very free piano teacher. I hope you're proud of Aimee.

That was cool! Your husband really is a great sport, but you're also a great, patient teacher. You are both blessed to have each other.

I didn't know Jim Harbaugh's wife was a talented pianist. LOL Love your channel!!

What a couple of great guys! Thank you! 😝

Aimee, I’ve been away from your channel for a while, and revisiting your videos is great. This one although many people would say is very obvious, is brilliant in its simplicity and really gives the key to playing more intuitively by ear. Thank you, I hope you and your husband are well in these rather troubled times.

That was so much fun. Nice to meet hubby!

John gets in (12) minutes what would take me (12) weeks. Cool video. Oh, *SIT UP STRAIGHT, JOHN!!* lol

By now John would have turned a pro. God bless both of you.

Good to compliment your students and applaud their guesses even when only half right. John did wonderfully. Trust your intuition.

Love this! Nice for you to have a guest who isn't super experienced so many people can relate!

🙌🏼Way to go JOhn. What an awesome family!

Thanks Aimee, what great video, I learned a lot from it. Also, John you're a blessed and lucky man for having such a fine wife!

I like your way of teaching Aimee. I teach piano too and what I like to do is to let students use their ear and figure out with my assistance rather then me telling them every single thing. This way we help our students to develop ear and independent thinking. Great ! 🥇👌

you two are so adorable

John - so cool of you to share the learning process - very relatable!

Aimee... Accidentally landed on your channel while searching for something. Loved it. It was a workshop in itself. Thank you.

OMG I just discovered your channel and thank you so much! I’m not a musician, but started learning piano to pass the time over Covid. I have a teacher now and it’s going great. You’re videos are really helping me too! Thanks for being awesome and all your hard work.

That's the way you teach ! , very natural and fun !!! Thanks

LOL, sit up straight! John's such a trooper! Just "try" a chord and its right!

I just love your channel Aimee and the way you include your family. You are such a natural and John is great. Sure helps having such a talented coach like you Aimee! We adore you!!

you made me cry! love you guys!

That was really fun to watch, cute, like a first date! Nice to meet John finally.

Good job John….don’t worry…even Aimee had an “oops” on the lyrics @ 9:46

I agree that was adorable!

I loved that! He is a brave mam.

You have a great husband congrats....of course he's lucky to have u 2.

Aimee is simply, utterly, unquestionably a Musical GENIUS!!!!!

he seems so nice and calm! just like you 😍 perfect couple!

Well done John you rocked. Great vid.

Aimee is amazing. Great piano player and singer.

I was grinning the whole time. Love this! My husband did his Gr. 8 piano and I have my ARCT and music degree--I LOVE when he wants to do music things together like this, sight-reading and singing, or even recording. I watch your videos, Aimee, just because I love the way you teach and your gentle nature! (Although I do plan to learn some new things by watching the Funk and Blues tutorials as I'm less familiar with those things!) Blessings from Canada!

Great job, John! Great teaching Aimee!

Sweet! Makes me think I could play too. Thank you very much

This is one of the cutest lovingly taught video ever! 🧡💛

hubby is perfect for you......i wish i was closer so i could take lessons from you, any cost your videos are great, tough and confusing sometimes but great

How great this is. Thanks.

Thanks John! Go Angels!

Cute, fun, and very informative! Thank you so much.

Thank you!!!! This was the thing I needed to see. Ya'll look like a great couple. It makes me smile seeing John and taking his punishment 🤣 But really, you did great man and thanks.... btw...SIT UP STRAIGHT JOHN !!!! 🤣

This is great! You guys are awesome

She's a great singer. I like her voice.

Love it Aimee!!!

Wow, that was really great. John could easily rock that thing with a few more weeks of lessons, haha.

Aimee you and John are an awesome team. And John you are such a good sport to let Aimee showcase you on one of her videos. You guys remind me of my husband and me. He was a singer and high school choir director--not a piano player. What he could play was self taught long before he met me. But he would "let me" help his playing once in awhile! Thank you guys for sharing.

What a cool way to teach! I'm excited to share this with my daughter (9y.o.) 1.5 yrs piano.

Thanks, John!

Well done, John!

very beautifully teacher

hes the man! hes with you after all lol. the family stuff is entertaining aimee lol

Aimee, John ... L O V E S you ! O_o John, Thank you. Your submission to Aimee here was very helpful for me. I've come back to some basic tutorials like this to clarify things that I might be missing. This was very easy in some ways yet put some important missing bricks in my foundation. This also helped me to be less worried about my level of abilities while learning from Aimee. Thank you ! Thank you.

awesome video thanks!

1987....... off the Joshua Tree. Rattle and Hum was released in 88 :-)

This is just an overall excellent video

You are a great teacher. You make everything look simple and fun. I liked all your videos so far. I just subscribed to your channel.

Lucky man!..

This was the best. Your dude rocks for participating as a student. (also.... Go Dodgers!) :)

Awesome that you and your husband can relate to each other in music. Wish I could relate to my wife with music, although I did give her a few vocal tips that she actually used and sounds a whole lot better, but still can't sit down and play music with her. :(

She got some dreamgirl character. 👍🏽

My heart skipped some beats! Gorgeous masterpieces. Thank you Aimee!

Nice one John !

That was fun.

It’s so funny how humbling music is for many very intelligent people... I was in a music appreciation class near London taught by the concert pianist for the symphony...and everyone just needed the “easy credit”... most had near perfect GPA’s ... but you had to learn a couple of songs on a recorder and pretty much everyone failed except some of us musicians... there was a huge outcry and many complaints sent to the Dean lol nobody wanted their GPA tarnished... lol it was one of the easiest college classes I ever took but to non musicians it was “ rocket science”.... you’re lucky he doesn’t play much because you’d be fighting over the piano... teach him the drums... one of the easiest to learn and be able to jam right out the gate... this was more entertaining ....I’m sure he’s very confident away from the keyboard lol

Thanks Aimee for this great video. I'm mostly a string player, but I play a little piano, too, so this was very helpful. I know jazz is your forte, but if you'd like to do more videos on pop or rock I'd watch them. By the way, I love your teaching style, very patient, enthusiastic and encouraging!

That supersedes the simply piano app by far!

Good Aimee! This is how I started playing piano...more than 50 years ago. So sorry that I skip this video after one minute..(edit:.. I repent! I read all the remarks and some of your answers so I I will watch the whole video. But back to bed first.) I play a little more complex now...all by ear. But for all that want to learn...it is easy...keep going!

Very informative and helpful:)

I think I sensed when a new chord was going to happen in the first example because I have been listening to "Walk On The Wild Side" since I was about 14. If I never heard that not sure I would have known.

PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS

0:05 that look he is giving is like "Does she really mean it or its because of camera"

Cool husband Aimee!

HI Aimee.....I have a question for you. The first tune you are playing are the chords to Walk on the Wild side, which has a fabulous outro solo by the great British jazz saxophonist Ronnie Ross. So the chords seem to be C to F but he seems to be playing a C scale over the C but a Fminor over the F with a flat A. The song seems to remain in a major tonality..that is Cmajor and Fmajor but the solo adds tension to it...well have a listen to it and see what I mean. I'm not sure why it works though...any ideas?

I think the chord progression is I - IV - vi - V - I .... yes? Great video!!

That was great. John killed me! Just found you recently and I wondered if your husband was musical and what he played or did otherwise. It seems he is fairly new to Piano like myself, although I do play Bass. I haven't had time to really look through your entire catalog of videos yet but hope you either have some or can make some vids putting together some beginner - intermediate chords/voicing changes in your Jazz flair that are easy enough to learn so that we Newbies can sit at a Piano at a party and sound like we know what we're doing while playing a little background music until we catch someone's attention! (Or recommend some you have already made) Great work and I look forward to spending more time on your vids. It must be such a pleasure for John to have you filling the house with music. How did you get together if he isn't involved in music like yourself? Cheers!

Holy moly. I've been a software developer most of my life, and I find _this_ baffling! How do people do it? I know it's practice, practice, practice... but oy vey, this looks hard.

Hi Aimee, I just got my Roland FP30 piano and are wondering if I chose the right piano for a beginner. The Keys feel quite heavy as they are fully weighted and it got me thinking should I have bought a keyboard like instrument where the keys have less travel and are much lighter?? It sounds a little dull with the built in spkrs but I can change the brilliance and contrast or something like that and can use headphones or a amplifier and there's midi to trigger other instruments too.... I haven't read the manual yet though. Pls can you let me know if I made a good choice with the fully weighted keys and whether I should I put stickers on the keys to remind me of what notes i'm playing. My teacher has said I shouldn't use stickers but to start from scratch using my memory and that I absolutely must learn to read music from scratch also. He gave me a Beatles song book going from easy to hard starting with' A Little Help From My Friends' to Strawberry Fields and 'I Am The Walrus' the harder songs. Any advice would be great:))

If you play for 10 or more hours a day... like I do... sitting up straight is no trivial instruction... it determines the life of your back and neck... all the way down to your fingertips.... it’s fun to crouch down real close to the keys for effect from time to time but keep that back straight!!!!

cool

He is possibly the luckiest man in the planet... and so shy!🤓

Love you Aimee

Great channel! I play guitar for more than 30 years but I like the idea of learning to play piano. I'm curious if I could manage to play the left and right hand independently from each other. And If I get it I believe I can also improve my guitar playing in some sense?!

Mrs. Aimee Boss Me Around girl....LOL....I hear ya John....

In the video you were talking about inversion and you said that chords can be better when using inversions but the inversion used is based on how the main chords are build. That is what I was asking you, to me is important because I do my solo depending on the notes of the chord

John is so lucky!

ha! 8:32 and on looks like a great stepping stone for getting the right hand to autopilot

Didn't he play a janitor on Scrubs?

That's your husband? Daahm he's fine. And shy! And that adorkable gorgeous smile! To die for! Congrats to both of you. 12:47 :´)

where they fit means chord inversion correct?

Nice and thank you. This was about my speed. I have to laugh - when you said to sit up straight, you had me at attention in my chair :)

Did the Flintstones have a rock piano?

Isn't the last chord supposed to be Bflat instead of F...

Hi Aimee, greeting from Ireland. I am an adult (40+) who has been learning how to play the piano for the past eight months. I really enjoy it, but as you can image it's a case of 'baby steps and not kangaroo leaps'! Recently, when I asked my piano teacher for something new in piano she introduced me to basic Jazz piano improvisation, which I find amazing but a little confusing. Any suggestions for (adult) beginners like me as how to best learn jazz chords, improvisation etc. Have you any You Tube clips in this area? Thanks, Norma

U2 were obviously channeling Paul Simon's Graceland when they wrote that song....

Did I hear "Australia" at 1:48? U2 are from Dublin, Ireland :-) Lead vocalist Bono wrote the lyrics in response to the notion that it is possible to identify a person's religion and income based on the street on which they lived, particularly in Belfast (capital and largest city of Northern Ireland).

boyfromoz7 in the comments says 1987....... off the Joshua Tree. Rattle and Hum was released in 88

Not only interesting exercise but neat to meet your hubby! POSTURE!? Oh you are awful, Aimee lol!

If your husband's name was Nick, you'd be married to Nick Nolte.

Won't be long before he's upstaging you:)

cute couple
