Comment from : @AnthonyClegg-d2v

Thank you That was very helpful
Comment from : @SierraNovemberKilo

For those who haven’t- check out the circle of fifths and how it can be used to work out key and scales in that key

Comment from : @charlottesmom

I watch many videos this is so confusing 😅
Comment from : @jayaekka3312

Very goodbrThank you
Comment from : @tomalleeson4573

Music notation sucks It just does Too much emphasis on it vs actually playing and feeling the music, and understanding theory as it relates to your instrument Many are so put off by it, that they quit early on Sad Printed music has its place to preserve songs on paper, and for learning the song, but it’s just used as a gatekeeper, much in the same way as the college weed out class

S4 is so hard
Comment from : @arrowheadalliancegroupsecu3513

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but do you advise learning/memorizing scales?
Comment from : @kaleemasilon8919

What you say about the key signature is fine for the key of G, but the keys of F# & B both have 5 sharps So one can't just look at the key signature and immediately know which key they're playing in

PATTINS?!! Had to but yeah good video!
Comment from : @1091Floyd21

What in the fuckis what i say as a beginner
Comment from : @hereweare9011

I remember as a teen being a runner-up in a silver band competition for playing Menuet in G (also played the acoustic guitar) 30 years on, I have completely forgotten how to read sheet music 😭 Time to re-learn it for the piano, so thanks for the refresher!
Comment from : @therealchayd

What i can never understand is how on earth can you read both lines at the same time
Comment from : @bunobeatz5737

Great refresher brbrI thought clefs had time to explain F, G, C clefs and how these notes are indicated by each clefs I find this easier than remembering the lowest space note

I'm in chior and thought I had a good foundation in sheet music I'm realizing I am not this advanced
Comment from : @jadent5760

I’ve played piano for 2 years and I’m honestly pretty good playing by ear but I’ve never been taught sheet music and I want to because it seems like fun
Comment from : @Claire_torpeyy

This is soooo confusing
Comment from : @apexgaming7830

In half German half English, I found an easy way to extend past the FACE lines It's kinda dumb, but it works for me In reverse order:brbrD (as)brFACEbrG (esicht)brH (eisst yes, we use H instead of what all normal people use, lol)brD (as face gesicht repeats) and it just translates "face" to German language over and over: "Das Face Gesicht Heisst Das Face Gesicht heisst Das Face Gesicht" → "The Face Face Is called The Face Face Is called The Face Face" brbrThanks for always putting so much emphasis on the whole "keep reading the sheets" thing, because it's just so easy not to, especially when you're just co-learning with the daughter who gets proper lessons While I have no obligation to learn and "deliver", it's good to hear things like that to avoid learning it wrong and having to unlearn later
Comment from : @allyouracid

Thanks for the lesson
Comment from : @ruthgilissen

6:52 @matticawood - I got very excited when you made the connection of seeing/reading music in PATTERNS and mentioned the Scale! But you also might want to squeeze in Unisons, Arpeggios and Neighboring Tones before the intro of Key signatures and scales
Comment from : @deliseovpstudio2978

why so fast
Comment from : @TheStircrazys

More! More! More…! prety please

Comment from : @jzluzzy123

I can play grade 7 pieces on synthesias but I still can’t read music 😂
Comment from : @StrayChoom

Well, I watched the entire video for the first time My head is swimming a bit, but I know enough to make sense out of this excellent video But I'm going to have to watch it at least a few more times
Comment from : @dimwitsadvocate6264

My own way for remembering the Bass scale was "Good Boys Don't F*** Around"
Comment from : @exiledPostman

Excellent…love your approach 🙏🩷🙂
Comment from : @organic527

That was so well explained! Reading sheet notes like we read entire words, it's really complicated in the beginning
Comment from : @Mestrefugi

why are there no sharp/flat keys between B and C, and between E and F? anyone have a good answer?
Comment from : @gregvisioninfosoft

thank you! this video greatly helped me among other yt videos thanks a lot!
Comment from : @bojackhorseman03

Is there any way I can make my fingers more flexible on a keyboard board
Comment from : @IsalFog-qv7do

Great video thanks I’d love to be better at sight reading and playing with meaning, rather than just correct notes
Comment from : @brianevans4

Slooooow doooown!!!
Comment from : @quixote5844

I'm glad that I learned how to play the trumpet around 7 years ago so I can read notes 😅
Comment from : @missavocadoo

Thank you❤‍🔥
Comment from : @RuchiraAbeywardhane

Nice video 🙂brbrI've just started reading grade 2 level, and use a mixture of landmark notes with stepping or skipping up and down Will get to reading whole words soonI hope!
Comment from : @Oakeybloke

Loved this video❤
Comment from : @Line_world_1

I'd love for you to react to Phyxinon, he (or she?) makes highly virtuosic covers of game/anime songs!
Comment from : @99jjmw

Is it a good idea to buy a used digital piano? 🤔🎹
Comment from : @EinKeks-fw9xk

I’m getting good at reading sheet music now I’m starting to play pieces without looking at my hands and I’ve only been playing for a year and a half I really enjoy reading sheet music
Comment from : @repetitivescrag3439

Waoo a great vidio
Comment from : @olufjakobsen6208

atonal music🙂
Comment from : @zanegart4399

I am playing the piano for 10 years now I gave up on sheet music 2-3 years ago Im only using these youtube tutorials with the falling keys Never had more fun playing piano Sheet music just isn't for me It took me so much longer to learn with sheet music
Comment from : @FerencBreuer

Another video to save and revisit from time to time!
Comment from : @Soares-Rodrigo

Why am I paying a piano teacher weekly, when I can come here and learn more information in less time and have it actually make sense??brbrThank you thank you thank you, Matthew, for all of the time and effort you put into your content If it's saving me from giving up on an instrument I've wanted to play for decades (shhhhh, we don't need to linger on the plural of decade), I'm sure it's saving others as well brbrThis really is such an underrated channel, and I can't wait for others to find it and get just as inspired
Comment from : @FrailSerenity

Man, I need to practice more
Comment from : @Parmetheus

Can you do epilogue from lalaland
Comment from : @SethRadu-pm9gc

Do you have any suggestions about books to get, I am around grade 3-5 in piano I sight read in a brass band but that's just one line so I can sight read one line very easily but the more than one part can cause some issues so appreciate this video Just a lot of the books my dad has are Grade 7-9 things that are really hard or just not in my skill range yet I want to practice sight reading on slightly easier pieces than that So wondering if you have any suggestions? thank you
Comment from : @isaacshaw1596

Patrik Pietschmann please XD
Comment from : @ShakKy33

Perfect video out there for me I just started playing piano but was strugling a lot on understanding the scales and how chords help but you made it very clear Thank you
