    I am 61 years old and have never touched a keyboard before but always wanted to. Got a 61 keyboard for Christmas this year. I searched the internet forever and you are the best at teaching a person that knows no music. I am doing really well and quite proud of myself. One more thing, you are a very lucking man to have a wife that helps you so much in making these tutorials for us. Thank you very much from the capital city of Canada. No not Montreal or Toronto as many would guess but Ottawa, Ontario.

    I almost never comment on someon's posts, but i've been playing piano for years and never learned to read music... you probably wont read this, the video is like 8 years old, but it is so helpfull to find a video at the perfect pace and with lit up keys xD. I mean it, the keys being lit up and lettered meant the world to me while learning to play. God bless you and your music.

    Yeah, sometimes I go too fast - My goal is always to go slow & explain everything well - but ... anyway - if you go to the website, download the letter notes - you can take it as slow as you want. All of the notes are identical to what I give in the video. It helps to put letters on the keys also if you get confused as to which note is which :)

    love the tutorial. I just need to work on the coordination and to remember to let go of my hands once im done with a part. And how did you make your piano glow.
