JMO, but an accordion is sort of an ethnic instrument and most American pianist didn't start out on accordion. As such, it's like saying people that started out on Balalaika make better guitar players. Maybe they do but how many people does that apply to? Just sayin'.

Hi ,
she’s brilliant.
Actually makes piano learning fun.
Signed up for her course, but decided to start from beginning rather than slightly more advanced. Forgotten so much in the 20 years that I didn’t play it.

Chas, that’s where I got that 1 chord song from , that I mentioned a while back. Haha

My biggest challenge when playing piano is not the righthand or the lefthand, but both of them playing together..

Hi
I think that clip was done so new students can work out what level of the course they should start out at.

Not everyone starting the course is a beginner.

Simple case of , if you can do all this, you’re an intermediate.

They will discuss personal needs and send you on the right track if someone’s not sure.

Pianote has dozens of clips on the internet, some are extremely helpful.

Donny, you posted a clip late last year, can’t remember what it was about now, but , that’s what sparked my interest in pianote.

Found more and more video clips on different aspects of playing, which was great, but
I needed something that actually helped me focus, so decided to try course for 6 months, they had a discount going just before Xmas. Thought , why not.

Bit of fun. Will help me with keyboard playing too, even if my piano skills never get back to what they were 20 years ago. ( limited even then. Haha)
