    I love the way you teach.....I have made progress following your lessons, and it is SO relaxing to play! I begged for piano lessons as a kid, but no go, and I did end up in band playing clarinet (which taught me to read music---I actually excelled on my clarinet!) I am 65 now and learning piano! Never too late!

    Say lady, your "Softly softly", don't panic approach is pretty good. I was a jazz bassist for a few years in the 70's/80's and I have been teaching myself piano for years having abandoned bass. I see a few more of your videos here on KZread so I might check those out. Great to see people like you trying to introduce piano in a "You can do it" way. Best wishes from Australia...

I have been watching your videos and they have been very helpful. The exercises have been fun, with beautiful notes and challenging (at least to me) me to use to both hands simultaneously. So, thank you for helping beginners like me!

    I've tried to learn in the past but haven't had the oomph to really commit, but after doing some growing and giving myself a break if I don't get it all quickly, I found it very satisfying to sit down, watch this, and play along. I could feel the frustration I felt before, but I stuck with it and enjoyed playing the song at the end. Thanks for making it easy.

It is most offputting when people use the silly Yamaha pitch starting at -1 instead of zero because they only made short key boards when everyone else was using MIDI properly.
