2024 update! New piano tutorials coming soon in May! emergencypianohotline.com

Please, please, please make a tutorial of Weird Fishes/Arpeggi. It is one of my favourite songs and it is quite a good one! Love your covers.

I was just thinking of learning how to play this song today and then I get a notification for this video! Thank you!

Please do more of these!

Please do this with Avril 14th!

I actually found the synesthesia tutorial to be incredibly helpful! It was the first piece I learned on piano, so I'd say I can doubly vouch for the synesthesia tutorial as it made it as easy as possible for a beginner. Hope you find it helpful :)

Great!! Can you make a tutorial of "EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE" please? Thank you!

Holy Crapola, didn't realise you did tutorials, time to binge, thanks Josh.

Yes, we need this! :) Thank you... and of course I want Videotape (the solo basement version)... and without the syncopation ;)

I like piano a lot but don't know how to read music nor have a piano or ever played one. This is by far one the best ways I've ever seen to teach in my life and I know this is about piano but the way you explained it so comprehensive and simple with no BS is incredible. Thank you!

Never played the piano nor any other musical instrument. My wrists and back of hands are aching, but determined to continue and play this tune. Thanks for the tutorial.

Yes please I needed this!

Someone seems to have a lot of time in their hands! (lucky us!). I guess it's hard to teach students at a physical music school with the whole corona thing going on. I hope everything is going well for you. Your videos actually encouraged me to buy a digital piano and I bought your songbook as well, but it's really hard to play a standard size piano with such tiny dinosaur hands like mine :( I will never stop trying though!

RHAddict Yeah, we moved all of our lessons online really early, way ahead of the government’s recommendations. Ended up saving the business, which was very fortunate. I had a one-way ticket to Berlin booked for this week to play some shows in Europe this year, but that’s clearly not happening. As a result, I’ve had more time on my hands to hit the channel harder and work on some more original content. Silver lining I guess..

Thanks so much Josh! I play by ear lots of bad habit and quirks, I started actual piano lessons two months ago and you taught me more useful stuff in just half an hour. I adore your covers. Much appreciated mate 👏

The little advice about the genral form of the fingers and advice about "finding" chords is something i havent seen said that simply, yet it seems essential and made me understand the principle in a few hours, and will be on my mind as i progress, thanks for thinking about complete noobs that are self-teaching ! i'll be sure to buy your book once i level up (and dust up my very ancient music reading abilities)
