This woman is a fabulous educator. Clearly she has put a lot of time into making her lessons understandable and engaging. She's the music teacher I wish I had when I was young!

Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!

one minute in and I know this person is good at teaching

Most of my music teachers, looked like this for some reason 🥰🥰🥰 such sweet, fun, happy,caring, patient ladies I’ll remember forever

With all the tech out there she does it best..back to basics..old school whiteboard is the best..💯🙏🏿

Listening and watching Karen teach, I have a smile on my face (I imagine) all the time, because I feel like a little puppy who seems to understand everything being taught. Fortunate are those who have had her as a teacher.

This right here is what my chorus teacher sent to me since we had no zoom

Great Teachers are Truly Magicians! Thank you Karen your energy is infectious and your lesson is super easy to follow.

I’ve been playing guitar and drums for 30 years and had multiple teachers and watched many music teachers on KZread and Karen is absolutely great at explaining music theory to beginners which is very difficult to do.

Karen of all the things that are available on the internet, this is i probably the one go to lesson, if you need a good fundamental understanding of this topic. Thank you, you are a treasure!

I learn so much from you...Thank you!

You explained this clearly and efficiently. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much , it was really generous and kind of you to share your lesson ! God bless you ! I wish I could attend one of your course !

Thank you so much, I just started playing bells in my church and struggled with the counting of the beats, because I didn’t have any music instructions ! This is going to help me a lot!

Amazing video. So clear and concise.

Just watched this with my two children. We'll be watching more of Karen. Very clear presentation. Thanks!

Thank you Karen for sharing your knowledge.

Best teacher in the world,because she gives passion in what she's doing

You are a wonderful teacher,am from Nigeria.

This woman rules.

Thank you 😊

Good teacher

Karen is godsend.

As a now retired teacher, I can see that Karen is a natural-born teacher. Few of us are. I would like to learn more about music. Never really played piano...just other instruments, but not well. My biggest problem is: How do you read music, which requires you mentally to think that you are playing a specific note. Then you have to take in that you are playing it as an 8th note, followed by sixteenth notes, dotted eighth notes, quarter notes, etc. Then you have to count all this mentally...as well as finger these notes on whatever instrument you are playing!!! How can you do all this at once? I've always felt that my trying to read music, while counting it, and fingering the notes must be what an ADD child feels like. I don't get it! I cannot absorb that I am to play A,D,B flat,G or whatever while counting "1,e, and ah" and trying to finger it all at the same time...let alone put any feeling into my music and watch for crescendos and Latin terms. HELP!!! I really want to improve my musical skills, but I feel helpless and hopeless. Obviously, I am not a natural. I am too analytical. Maybe some people just don't have it. Either that, or nobody has gotten through to me yet in a way that makes sense. Maybe I am overthinking everything. Maybe I should give Karen's adult course a try. I can't be the only one in the world with this problem!

thx girl

thanks

6:31 ahhh I see what you did there.. Thank you

Nice

I am using these videos to learn guitar. If I knew the order of the videos I believe I could make it productive. I assume someone with some background could figure out the order based on the subject matter. I have little to no background.

Would it help to check the date published snd go from there? How did your studies go?

She uses economy of motion to draw the lines.Smart. I use it on bass.

shes so sweet :3

I thought this was going to be about how to count rhythms not the notes

I like the pic so much

hi Karen how are you doing

Thank goodness I only play my beginner Classical sheet music alone so I can completely ignore note values and counting. I review the sheet music and I just play it many times either developing a nice flow OR I recognize the piece (like Ode to Joy from Die Hard) and then I can play it like it’s supposed to sound. At my age, I’m never going to be w other musicians playing Mozart from Hal Leonard’s SuperEasy Fake Book so I just play the notes so they sound nice to me. I keep music fun, once you start complicating things, it becomes nothing but a mundane miserable job. 🙂🎹

unfortunately she doesnt explain why there have to be a quarter-note after the dotted note and I dont get why...... of course because theres something I dont get...... and I still dont get that part......

There are 4 beats in the measure. The dotted half gets 3 beats. The quarter note gets one beat. 3 +1=4.

Amazing!

I like her as a teacher. The only question I have is why there is a note called a "quarter note" when the possibility exists for it to only be worth 1/3. For example--if I understood her correctly--in 3/4 time, there is only room for three "quarter notes" in a measure. If my statement was correct, then it makes absolutely no sense. Someone needs to change the name of the darn "quarter note" if it can actually be worth the amount of time its name implies.

i dont believe her cat does that, she made that up to humour the students.

She is incorrect in her counting and labeling of downbeats and upbeats, to get it right, see here: www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/culture-miscellaneous/difference-between-downbeat-and-upbeat/

i can never understand music. even if its out of a book. i'm literally so stupid like wtheck. i don't even understand this, its like shes speaking in tongues
