@stereo123 Hey no one answered your question: why D major and not minor? Well, the musuc is going to a G chord right. If you were in the key of G there would be Fsharps in that key. So by making the Dmajor the Fsharp leads to a G. In a scale Fsharp is the last note before you get to G. It is called the 'leading note'
The Dchord is also the Dominant chord of Dmajor (count 5 notes up from G and you will get to D) so it has briefly 'modullated' (transitioned) to the Dominant.
@Edramzi: Just so you know, a lot of this stuff she's teaching is from a 1970s book called "How to Play Piano Despite Years of Lessons." That's an excellent book if you want to open your horizons. If you read that book and really understand it you'll progress by light years.
This is absolutely unbelievable. Years of taken lessons and years of buying sheet music with no progress whatsoever. This teacher opens the door wide open for people with a little or no background of music . Thank you so much

I'm no musician, but I'm getting it, mostly. Question: why D major and not minor?? Is it normal to go off key like that?

Its a good tutorial, but the description is for Part 2, and the "be" should be "by".
