The keyboard player for Journey, Jonathan Cain, was struggling as a young musician in Hollywood, and was feeling like he might give up. He talked to his father, who said, "don't stop believing." He remembered those words, and now they are a part of one of Journey's top songs. True story.

Thank you, I needed to hear that. 👍👍
Hi Lisa. You are a great teacher. Your videos made me buy a MIDI keyboard and a KORG PS700 keyboard. Now I practice every day 5 to 6 hours. Thanks for lessons on KZread. Although I am 72 years old playing scales and very simple songs, it prevents my hands getting arthritis. Great show...looking forward for more great lessons. Thank you.
This Woman Has Literally Taught Me How To Play Piano And Helped Me Upgrade My Music For A Long Time. Thank You For Everything You Do For Us!
I will not stop believing... that I, in my forties, can learn how to play piano thanks to this lovely and enthusiastic piano instructor, Lisa. Thank you!

After years of failing piano lessons and not picking up anything I had my first eureka moment thanks to you Lisa. You are the absolute best, thank you
You’re my new piano teacher! I’ve played by ear for years but never knew the “math” of what I was actually doing- didn’t care to learn- (teachers go fast and get confusing too fast )but you slow it down for special people like US!! 🤗❤️
I V VI IV - NOW I FINALLY GET IT! Don't know why I couldn't see it before! SO many piano teachers couldn't do in years what you have done in 5 minutes! Thank you for this! Am now a Pianote student!!
You are a such a GREAT piano teacher! Fulfilling your Divine purpose. May your heart be filled with Peace n Love. Thanks.
This was amazing. Thank you so much for this video, Lisa. It gave me the little push I needed to go back to learning the piano.
Thank you Lisa, I just love that song and certainly going to give it a try!
I'm really happy that I found this channel. Everytime I'm sitting depressed at my PC and thinking that I could never play piano this channel somehow gives me a little boost. Thank you!
Thank you so much 🙏 I have started learning piano two days ago and I hope I will not give up. All your video are so informative.
OMG I totally LOVE you. Dont stop believing is one of my favorites. We went to a dualing piano bar recently and they were playing that song and the whole audience was singing. Like they say music is the universal language and you’re the best teacher.
We love you we love you Teacher Lisa! You are the best piano teacher. Thanks!!! You have a nice gifted voice.
You are a great teacher and I love your voice. Thanks for your videos.
This is really a great lesson. Thanks to all pianote members ❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love this song Im so glad you chose this one Dont stop believin im actually playing and signing it ty so much
Thank you for your teachings
lisa your approach is super beginner friendly and inspiring 🥺 i’ve got my very first keyboard recently and since i’ll be spending my whole summer at home i’ll be practicing like crazy
Lisa, I have said this many times, you are an angel from the heavens!
Thank you, that really opens up the door wide!!
I have been wanting to learn piano since I was very little. I was never able to afford a keyboard until about 2 weeks ago when I was helping a friend that has a second hand store and she gave me the deal of a lifetime. A full 88 key keyboard for just $75. Brought it home that same day and looked on KZread for a piano teacher and found you ! I knew right away that I had hope to be able to learn from you and I love your excitement it gives me excitement and confidence that I can and will learn. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💓
WOW!!..not only are you a GREAT piano player and teacher, those vocals are AWESOME. 👍
Fabulous lesson!🤗Love your energy
Thank you for being my you tube piano teacher! This was very encouraging!!! You have an incredibly beautiful voice as well.
You have a really beautiful voice and a charming way in teaching the piano. 🙃
I really love your attitude when ever it comes to teaching,I've followed you and I'm really impressed You are the kind of a teacher that the world really needs Thank you very much I like it a lot
Thank you Lisa, most helpful 🎹😎
Lisa ! Thank you ! Your so so sweet and I love your personality !!
I LOVE this!!! Thank you so much ❤️
You are always inspiring with youe smile and effervescent personality. Thank you!
Every time I need motivation, I see your video, your smile and great advices and I'm like a new (100% recharged and of course motivated to learn more:) ) 😃 Pianote you are the best! Thanks for sharing your great experience and so positive energy! 🤗👍👍👍
Simply LOVE. LOVE YOUR LESSONS ❤. You make it so very easy to understand each lesson. Thank you 🤗
First off, I have spent a lot of time playing songs I don't really care for or want to learn. Now I understand, in order to play well I have to learn the song. And I have to learn the rhythm as well. So, investing lots of time trying to learn pieces found in piano progression books is frustrating and self-limiting for my practice. You have opened my eyes to what my practice will look like from now on. I love your smile and your exuberance. You are very motivating and easy to watch and learn from. Thanks so much for all your efforts.
Love your presentation. Great, interesting and easy to learn. Thanks.
Wooow such beautiful voice...i looooove it. Thanks
Hello ma'am. Thank you so Muchp . I'm already 32' I am trying to learn since High school but had no teacher and now I'm motivated by you
Wow! What a teacher. I am melting with great awesomeness!
Love your excitement! After retiring I took piano lessons for the first time and got discouraged. Your enthusiasm has inspired me to try again and will now follow you to the end! Bless you, Lisa

I just bought a yamaha psr e373 yesterday ....and i tried the technic u teach in this video...dont stop believing is basically easy specially the way u teach how to play it ....slowly and simply....damn i cant believe i can play piano for the very 1st time....im already 37y/o...hahaha its never too late to learn musical instruments....thanks alot....u inspired me....more power to channel...pianote☝️🔥🔥🔥
I’m currently listening to videos like this as a mid aged blind guy who’ll never be able to read music to gage whether I should invest in a keyboard and jump in. Without meaning to, you put everything in a easy logical way enabling me to understand the chords and what you were doing. Bravo, you have a new subscriber and i have a heap of content and an increasing urge to take up piano.
Lisa You make it sooooooo easy. I am learning so much Thanks, I have paid for your teachings and enjoy it very much thank you soooooo much
Thank you! So good to know!!!
Lisa!!! You made me obsess about pianos just by looking. Tomorrow is my 30th birthday and my husband gifted me a p125. I already did your fur Elise and somebody you loved. Love for everything that you do. Thankyou
Lisa, You have an amazing voice! ❤
I come here to learn piano and every time I visit your class I am just looking at you, your style, your talk, your hairdo , finger ring, decorative lights, interiors and so on… But this year let me learn piano seriously from your classes👍🏻
Thank you for this ☺️💓
Love this Lesson it was beautiful thanks
This is awesome she teaches it well she makes it so easy to understand 👏👏👏
So at 37 I'm getting my first piano this week a 130 Yr old upright as I think playing music will help me a lot with my autism, iv never had a lesson and never played a note and so I'm watching as many of your videos as I can and see how far I get, I find your videos soooo easy to watch thank you soooo much for uploading your videos
Thank you for this nice and simple lesson visually and with words.😊

I can listen to Lisa sing all day she has such a pretty voice
Ms.Lisa you sing very well
This was the best 9:22 I have spent! I have no idea how to play the piano or read music. My mom is the piano player for her small country church, and she is getting very old and will soon not be able to play. I feel as though I will need to step in and play one day for her. Even though it won't sound anything like she played, this gives me hope that I can at least make beautiful sounds on the piano. Thank you so much for making this video! ❤❤
Just discovered you. I was trying to learn piano for years while in school without a teacher and failed. But now this helps a lot
Wow!!!! SOOOOO INSPIRING!!!!! I can start learning the songs I love right away...what?!?!!!!❤
Seems so easy but need to practice everyday I believe. Thank you very much for the tutorial.
Wow! Amazing video! Great for beginners like me !
Beautiful voice
So positive and perky I love it
I love what your doing I play hymns and classic country I do it the same way
Thanks!
Awesome!!
