Why it worked
The video provides a clear, step-by-step tutorial for a popular song, making it highly shareable and valuable to aspiring musicians. The use of visual cues on the keyboard and the integration of the Melodics platform as a learning tool likely contributed to its engagement.

Product placement
Novation FLkey 2: ACTS - it is a MIDI keyboard used to demonstrate playing the piano riff. Removing it would change what happens in the video.
Melodics: ACTS - it is a music learning platform, indicated by the logo and the call to action "Let us know". Removing it would change what happens in the video.
