Hey Andrew I got a question, right now I try to do what your saying about the bars but i do it for each measure, is that what meant?
I can’t tell my hands to do two different things at once… doesn’t work… I have to tell them what to do in what order and what at the same time -.-
uhm… andrew,, thanks, but i have a trouble in hearing you when youre far away to your cam…
but thanks! i have a lot of fun with this.. it really helps
I seriously went through a quarter of my piece today after school using your wisdom haha, it was marvelous.
I quite agree, thank you for your videos, they are brilliant. I have only watched a couple so far, but your circle of fifths video really helped me finally crack reading keys on sheet music. I had always struggled with that before. Thank you for the brilliant resources!
Your are great Thanks for this video it helped a lot
I am a beginer just playing few months but I improved after I watched this video 
Thanks again .
can you please fix the audio on this? It’s hard to understand what you’re saying.
p.s.thanks for the videos theyre a big help
Hi, I tried your technique but it took me an EXTREMELY long time just to play one full line of the song I’m working on…took like two hours. I always wrote down what all the notes are on the music before I started playing and that’s what worked for me. The memorizing thing is what was really driving me nuts. I’m also afraid that if I could memorize all the notes/beats and I didn’t play the song for awhile than I’m dead meat because I would have to go back and start again from scratch.
I enjoyed the example with the horse. lol
great advice,itz little hard but trying hard too..itz very helpful…..thanks a ton
I found other “How to play Piano” videos to but I like yours the best. I really enjoy them. Thanks!
Thank You very much Andrew, very good teaching. You are genius. Way you teach really fits to me.
Very Nice. thx
GREAT! Thanks so much!!
It will happen…
But what I’ve noticed, is that when you practice a piece long enough, not only do you memorize the piece consciously, but you manage to memorize it subconsciously. You’re muscles memorize (*Muscle memory!*). Because of this, when I go and play a piece I haven’t played for quite a while, I still tend to make a mistake in playing here or there; but after those mistakes, I’m perfectly capable of playing the piece again.
I hope that mitigates your worries!
Those are right Andrew. My experiences learned piano/songs by finding good arrangements of every songs, and involved myself emotionally of song idea/theme. Thank You very much anyway for best lesson.
Same here I just learn the song by the sheetmusic (kinda like in the vid) but i don´t tend to memorize them and ones i can play it with the sheetmusic it really doesn´t take long to be able to do it without it .You will memorize it just by playing it enough times through and if you hadn´t played it for a while its easier to get through it aggain cause you have learned it whith reading the sheet while playing not by reading. memorize playing!!!
This works good for me kinda could be difficult for some of you but if you play with emotion and have fun playing it will just go automatically!
how come the volume on your videos are so low? i have to really crank it up to hear
How can you imagine certain pitches away from your instrument? I do not have perfect pitch.
I also want to ask how do I learn a very fast, complex song by ear? I can learn a simple song in just a few minutes. It’s very easy to anticipate. The music I want to learn has absolutely no intuitive form.
This helped me so much! Andrew is like the coolest teacher ever why can’t I be from Canada?!
I don’t think he expects us to imagine it perfectly at first, but just have an idea of how it’s supposed to sound.
is thr a way you can increase the volume of the videos cuz i cant make out anything of what ur saying…
..pllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeee do something; i was learning a lot from ur videos and now thr’s a complete block::(
not everyone can be amazing in every way shape and form sorry:D
yea i gotta agree with you, his videos are a little soft on the volume. When the air conditioners on, i can barely hear him even tho the volume is at 100%
