I have no background in music. I always wanted to play at least one musical instrument, so when the pandemic hit (Feb this year), I decided to do something about it.
I actually started with lessons from a different YouTube channel – I took up to lesson 6, but was not getting anything. It appeared to me that I was just getting information – I am an engineer, so my mind is more receptive to concepts – I gave up on that channel. While watching those videos, your channel popped up.
I followed all of your lessons on YouTube – Now I am up to Unit 7.
Your lessons are very comprehensive, methodical and become conceptual as one progresses along – I think I had a moment when you discussed reading sheet music as ‘larger stories’ instead of individual notes.
I made sure to follow the lessons as closely as possible and practise almost every day, even if a ‘practice’ involved rehashing some chord progressions. I also had to re-take some lessons.
Your channel/website is definitely one of the best to learn from – and learning piano has been life altering for me.
Your lessons are so good, I was surprised they were available for free. I cannot stay for more than a day without playing something on the piano.
This video features Peter. He had never played piano before beginning to learn using my free video lesson series on YouTube. After just 9 months of practice he is in Unit 7 and making beautiful music.
I’ve included above, with Peter’s permission, the email that he sent me describing his experience.
I am always touched to hear how learning to play piano has enriched the lives of my students around the world. Thousands of you have taken on the challenge to become piano players! And, through determination and hard work, you are learning!
There are lots of free videos here to learn from! Or, if you learn better as part of a group, I also offer online live zoom classes. If learning to play piano is your dream, I can help!
Hi from Brazil! I’d like to say that you’re the most amazing teacher i found on youtube. You connect theory with practice and we’re able to understand the necessary process to play piano. Congrats on the channel and thank you so so so much, without you i wouldn’t learn so much ’cause i can’t afford… Read More »Nathalia Comini
OMG I took lessons from age 6-18, won some awards… quit… and picking it up again at age 55… I never understood this! Literally mind blown 🤯😍🙏🏻 love your tutorials, so easy to follow! It’s all coming back to me now, but at a different and better perspective (different method of teaching = different method… Read More »Janice B.
You are such a good teacher!! Reading music was very difficult for me but you made it easy. I am following you step by step and happy to see my progress :)) Thank you for offering all these lessons for free!
Wow, such a great lesson series! At the beginning of each video, I think….”no way I can play this….” but you break the music down into very workable pieces, and gradually increase the complexity, great teaching!
Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos! . I have been trying to learn to play the keyboard on my own and ended up on a lot of disorganized information. Finally landed upon your videos and now I’m trying again. Yours will definitely be the first I would recommend anyone new… Read More »Arjesh Karmacharya
Miss I am learning your piano lessons and all I can say is that you are a really very good teacher. Feeling lucky that I have found these video lessons online.
I am 27 and every single day I wish I could play and express myself through music. Luckily, I was able to buy a digital piano and your lessons are literally helping me make my dreams come true and express myself. THANK YOU! <3
I started looking and found yours and as its structured I find that its easier and as we play actual music and learn to read music that it is perfect for me. My goal is to be able to look at music and play and your course is perfect for me!
Your teaching is really nice! I love the fact that you are so organized, patient and have a methodical way of teaching in a very simple yet effective manner!
WOW! I do research on lots of piano instructors. You are the winner. Your clarity, speed, and patience is a God given gift. A dream I had as a little girl, but never had a piano (too poor), but blessed. with wonderful parents. Thank you for the free lessons.
I came from simply piano because it felt like it wasn’t really teaching me much.. Thank you for these free lessons, you are very easy to understand and you’re great at explaining. 🙂
I am a beginner who has always wanted to learn to play the piano since I was little. It was not a necessity at the time. As an adult, I wondered where I could have been having learned to play as a kid. Finally, I bought a piano and found your videos. God bless you… Read More »No Name
