In this video piano lesson, I cover triads and inversions along with fingering in the right hand. We apply that knowledge to playing an arrangement of the first few bars of "Let It Be" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
Here's a link to one arrangement of the song:

Group Piano Ideas with Julie Knerr
In this video podcast, I interview Julie Knerr about successful group piano activities that she uses in her studio. She shares video clips of her students to illustrate.
This is one of the largest video podcast files I've made at close to 90 MB. I hope you're patient and give it a chance to download. I think it's worth the wait.
If you use any of these activities with your piano students, let us know how they work out!

How to Play Clocks by Coldplay
In this video podcast, I show how to play the piano part to the song, "Clocks", by Coldplay.
Duration: 4:34
File Size: 24.1 MB
File Format: MPEG-4 Video Podcast (.m4v)
Update: As of August 1, 2006, the YouTube version of this video podcast has received over 10,000 views and has been favorited 176 times. Pretty cool. Of course, when I see that other videos are up in the hundreds of thousands of views, then it's a bit more humbling. Nonetheless, this is by far the most popular podcast episode of the bunch. Hopefully once I get settled into my new job and home, I'll be able to do more followups to this.
