"Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music ... I get most joy in life out of music." - Albert Einstein

Many thanks for your videos, they are really down to earth and well presented, so for me, very helpful and much appreciated. I have both the Alfred's and the Faber method books along with the Faber Adult Classics Book 1 which I have started working through for the past couple of months. Would you recommend studying from both method books at the same time or is it better to just work through one book? Thanks again.
Hi there, loved the video, and the rubric, but I happened to notice that your initial choice at least seemed to be based entirely on Amazon‘s ratings. I’m pretty sure I’m missing something here but what if some of the better books are not on top of the Amazon ratings?
For me, as a 67-year-old beginner, your video about using the metronome is one of the best explanations I've ever seen on RU-vid! Thank you very much! Best regards from Germany!
I noticed that when you drop your arm/hand/fingers onto the keyboard that your wrist appears to dip down slightly upon impact. I'm guessing it has to do that to absorb the shock of the impact. Is that the point where you actually relax. I ask this becasue you say to relax when you are lifting your hands off the keyboard with your arms elevated and your hands hanging down. I'm not sure at exactly what point the relaxation is supposed to be initiated. I'm guessing that the arms can relax only when they are positioned at the lowest point in the process and not when they are being elevated after falling onto the keys.
Bless you,. You are so inspiring and good. The methods you're so cleverly teaching, never seen before. Yours are so detailed: is like going with a microscope into the matter to see its mecanism how it works... fascinating. Thank you for your precious time to make these interesting videos.
Amazing... never seen anything like this before... It's like a culture shock😃. Thank you for this amazing teaching and demonstration. Do you have anything on ornamentations? Thank you🙂.
I'd love to know your thoughts on Beyer? I enjoy the short pieces, I'm on 19 and am able to advance by 1 or 2 weekly. I think I like it in part for convenience, I've been playing 8 weeks and acquired a Yamaha csp170, digital piano, Beyer is on the app which I think simplify some of the early road blocks, older beginners run into, mainly, reading music. So far, by end of week I'm able to read / play the piece on an acoustic for my teacher...
