Billie Eilish is fresh off of
winning five Grammys at just 18 years
old she has skyrocketed to total stardom
and she's done it as uncontroversially
as any artist of her status
"I have 257,000 I have 6.3 million forty
point seven million that's so..." but how
did she get here? This is footage of her
at 12 years old playing Alicia Keys'
"Fallin'" like a total pro, and you want to
know something cool? Billie learned this
song with HDpiano's help.
Now how could I possibly know this? Well
it was a normal Tuesday morning, I was
responding to YouTube comments like I
always do when I stumbled across an old
thread: "this is awesome it helped me a
lot"–this wasn't just any comment this
was a comment from Billie Eilish's
official YouTube channel!
I was overflowing with excitement. Shortly after seeing this comment on the
"Fallin'" tutorial I made the connection
to the talent show footage and this was
proof to me Billie had used HDpiano's lesson to help her learn the song... is
that not just amazing!? And I'm telling
you for a couple reasons:
the first:  we think it's really cool and
we couldn't be more proud, the second: we
want it to inspire you the fact is just
five years ago Billie Eilish was sitting
at home learning one of her favorite
songs through YouTube and that should be
incredibly motivating for those of you
who aspire to perform or create your own
music one day. The Internet is a vast
expanse of learning potential and here
at HDpiano we're doing our small part
to show you how to play songs without a
private teacher or sheet music. At the time of our recording this we actually have 8
Billie Eilish lessons for you to watch so
maybe you could start there, or since of
course we fulfilled her Lana Del Rey
request you can learn that one along
with more than a thousand others on our
channel. "This is to all of the kids who
are making music in their bedroom today
you're gonna get one of these" Thanks for
watching our videos and let this be a
model for what you can accomplish with
just a little stick-to-itiveness I'm Dan at HDpiano.
Happy practicing. Please send us your
song ideas to request HDpiano.com then
go find us on social media; we love
hearing from y'all. If you are on YouTube
make sure to subscribe and drop us a
comment, and that's all for now I'm Dan
I'll see you over at HDpiano.com: the home of the hybrid piano lesson.
