#1 LEARN FREE MUSIC THEORY 

Revisiting your channel after 7 years and hearing that intro music piece made me cry . I was a clueless teenager from a remote village in India who wanted to play the piano so badly that i drew a replica of keyboard and stick it to my table and my only saviour at that time was you . I used to proudly boast to my mom and dad that you are my teacher and you are such a gem of a person . Thanks for everything Andrew . I sincerely hope we will meet in future . I will one day . Stay safe . God bless

10 years, think of that This guy taught an entire generation music theory

It seems I know nothing of the art that I love. Lets change this.

2016..6 years and still helping people buddy. Thank you

Dear teacher, I have done homework, and thank you for making such courses free. If somebody, from 2056 is gonna read this message, this teacher is gonna help you, because he helps in 2017 while he made this video in 2010.

7 years later and this video series is still incredibly helpful and kind of you to share to aspiring musicians around the world !! It's so hard finding music theory lessons on RU-vid that start straight from the beginning of music theory and explain everything in a simple and easy way to understand AND while not having a complete serious/dull mood but instead having an exciting mood, making is so much easier to keep attention and interest in learning about music in your videos !!! You have such a kind heart and soul thank you so so much !!!!!! :D ^-^

why dafuck people dislike this? guy is teaching important stuff for free!

started watching these videos during my quarantined senior year of high school in Turkey, now I came across the playlist and got emotional a bit. I was always passionate for music but did not have a conservatory background so was not sure where to start but this channel helped me learn most of what i needed on my own. I am currently in a jazz school in Paris and was even able to skip a year because I had studied a lot of theory with your channel.. so thank you and for anyone seeing this in the comments who is starting their journey today I hope this could be some motivation :)

Hi Andrew. Before of everything you're a wonderful person for doing this for free. It's very kind. For a year i wanted to start learning music theory but there's no teacher where i live and i don't have enough money to pay private lessons. Plus, i'm a very shy person so i don't lead very well with strangers. But for someway i really want to meet you one day. Continuing, i had music lessons when i was in 5th and 6th grade. And i came to the conclusion that i know nothing about what i love in my life. I had drawing the treble clef in the wrong way all this years. In this video i learnt more than i learnt in 2 years. Thank you so much. P.S: I'm portuguese. If you don't know where Portugal is, Portugal is that tiny country next to Spain. So you're getting famous around the world. You're a amazing pianist with a amazing heart.

Yo this dude is the truth. Keep doing what you do and spreading positivity.

One thing that makes you better than all the other thousands of confusing, complex and mind-twisting tuts, is the joy you put in yours. You goof around and make it fun/silly, but you do it in a serious manner. You're an excellent teacher and I would like a donation link. Once I have enough funds to spare, you'll get a check from this guy. Kudos, and keep doing what you do!

You have a wonderful heart! it makes me so happy! :)

I've been learning this dudes stuff for a good few months (had to come back here to learn how to draw clefs again). He's awesome. If you're just starting this stick with it. He'll take you through everything to get you to understand theory. I used a few books alongside his videos and I'm now learning to play some pretty complex pieces. I'm an electronic producer, but through learning theory you appreciate classical and Jazz and you'll end up wanting to play that sort of stuff. Thanks Lypur

I'll definitely study this everyday... Fo sure... and prove someday that I learn from a pianist who offered to teach music for free....... Thank you ^^

This guy is the real MVP! thanks for giving back bro.

I've been playing piano "by ear" for nearly 30 years, playing Chopin and video game music mostly...I love it! Yet here I am, day ONE of your course, learning about "the staff" hehe...thank you so much for making this and for being an awesome human being! My midlife crisis is feeling a little less like a disaster and more like an exciting new beginning :)

One of the best humans alive. To do something so altruistic out of your own motivation, shows massive confidence. Thank you for being you!

theory starts at 4:55

My grandfather expertises in Classical Indian Ragas. He learnt music the very hard way. I remember he said that his guru, in order to teach one right note, would make them work real hard. You are doing a great job sir. Good luck with all your efforts.

Many years ago, I found your channel and promised myself that when I had the time, I'd start learning music theory and how to play the piano. Now that I have some time let's go for it! :D I'm glad I could find your videos again.

:) I'm so glad to hear that!

ur the best ...:)

Thank so much. I almost finished your lessons a couple of years ago but took a leave to learn some other things. I'm back to become the pianist I've always wanted to be. Thank sooo much for sharing your knowledge with all that reaches for it.

You are pretty generous to share your knowledge about music theory. Good show.

I just want to say how amazing your videos have been for me. I have ADHD and it's really difficult for me to focus on something or consistently practice something. I learned basic piano when I was young but I've wanted to really learn more about piano and music for the longest time, but ADHD makes that very difficult. Your videos have helped me not only find new things to learn, but have also allowed me to both practice practically with your piano videos, but learn music theory while doing other things like playing video games or cooking or whatever (I need multiple things happening at once in order to stay engaged and learn). Being able to learn about the music then inspires me to actually go practice more, and it creates an amazing positive feedback loop. Thank you so incredibly much for being just a genuine person using your time and abilities to help others learn at no cost.

ITs Been 9 Years And This Video Still Gives The Feeling Of Present I Would Just Tell One Thing To You......... You Are The One Who Showed Me Right Way Love You Buddy This Is One Of The Best Channel On RU-vid Phenomenal

I took piano lessons for several months as a child and had music lessons in school and I just watched lesson 1 in Music Theory and it's like the light came on. I actually understood, this is fantastic, there's absolutely no way I could afford a teacher like this. You are a true blessing thank you so much for what you are doing.

Lypur! I watched the first few of these long ago, but got distracted from music for a very long time. Now my passion has been re-ignited and I'm pleased to know these are all still here.

I you ever read this, and for what it's worth: "YOU ARE THE MAN, ANDREW!"

Thank You for the brief explanation on why music theory is so important, it seem like the more I dive deep into learning music and the orgins I become more and more amused. I will take advantage of these courses.

I feel like I’ve stumbled across something amazing here. An entire course on music theory with included study. I’m a self taught musician and I understand the rudiments of theory but I’ve been wanting to learn it in full for a few years now and when I would search for music theory teaching videos, I never found this series. Glad I found it now. I’m excited and hoping this can teach me everything I need to know in order to have a complete grasp of music theory.

i love how this teacher smiles and is so calm! and love his teaching skills! A+ :)

Thanks a lot! I'm looking forward to checking out all the classes.

Thank you so much, you have no Idea how hard I've been searching for music theory explained by an actual person.

honestly you you have a wonderful way in teaching, i've been browsing for months and i've seen many people try to do it but you are the best, keep on doing it .. that how you will be remembered ... good lick :)

I'm like only 4 minutes into this, and already super excited to continue watching this series. This is admirable that you'd go through this much trouble. Thanks!

You are so kind to give free music theory lessons like this I'd be willing to pay for these videos ( to what I can afford of course :P ) Your awesome bro thanks!

omg!!!!! I have been wanting to learn piano for years. Took lessons as an adult, but got into a bad habit of writing finger numbers on the sheet music. never learned how to play. Have a grandson who plays by ear, doesn't want lessons, I told him God gave him a gift it is his responsibility to sharpen that gift not ignore it. whenever he comes over he plays for me. He is in fifth grade, and starting band, hopefully he will learn to read music. I love the learn to play piano videos, I thank you for starting from the beginning and making people feel comfortable if they are willing to put in the work, they will be able to do it, God has given you a gift thanks for sharing. Grandma wendy

God bless this man. Watching your free music theory courses from Iran. Going to continue watching once a day and take notes. I love music theory and I love playing the piano. There aren't many affordable and professional classes here. So I'm going to thank God for the Internet and Andrew for this amazing opportunity. And I will comment "God bless this man" under every lesson after I finish them. ❤

I was following your lessons from about one year ago and I was getting good, but due to life circumstances I had stopped watching them. but I am now recommitting my self to these lessons, I really have a desire to play the piano. thank man, and I hope that the good lord will bless you for all that you are doing for the world, anyway I am from Jamaica. yea mon

You are FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Thank you soo much for doing this, I know it takes a lot of time and work, and I REALLY appreciate it. :)

I live in a small town in Sweden which has almost no music teacher’s that offers piano courses for absolute beginners. But those courses that are available are so incredibly expensive for me. So I want to thank you for making this course absolutely free even after 10 years haha! Thank you!

Gonna make learning how to read music & play the piano a priority this year, so I’m finally gonna get through this series that’s been in my watchlist for years! thank you so much for your contribution, 12 years later! ❤️

You are an amazing human being! I will watch all of your music theory and piano lessons religiously to master playing the piano and to compose my own music. You're my idol man! Thank you so much for these videos!

Hi, I'm a new student and I hope to see how your videos work in my education of music theory. It's cool to see this was made 13 years ago, as I am a student in 2023. Look forward to learning from you lessons a day.

i just fxxxxxx love this guy! :D he has got the 90s look/style.... XD

Just to want to thank you Andrew for your free music theory lessons. I'm very fortunate to watch all of your lessons 9 years ago and it became my foundation in music theory. I finished my Bachelors Degree in Music Education here in the Philippines last 2019 and it all started with your lessons. I'm very grateful to you. Thanks a lot!

This is amazing!! I'm so glad I found you, I been wanting to learn music theory for so long ;) SUBSCRIBED!! Just saw the first half of lesson one and I'm very excited to get my paper, ruler and pencil. Lol.."woohoo....yay! homework"

So this is what boredom has led me to. Might as well go all the way in learning this, i've only learnt a bit of piano when i was young and i regret stopping :(

Thank you Andrew for sharing your gift to the world

You are so inspiring. It really moves me because I was so frustrated unable to find a helpful video to such a complex subject without people plugging in their book or lessons every minute. Thanks so much, I'll be sure to do my homework ^^

Thanks. You'll be my daughter's music theory teacher from here on out! :) and mine!

Thank you so much. This is helping me learn the fundamentals so I can learn Piano without costing my parents too much money :)

Wow I can't believe this is actually free!!! With the current Covid situation I decided to learn music since I always wanted to do that but didn't have time, but soon realized all online apps didn't really teach the basics in detail like you do and they only teach a song or two ! Thank you for all your time and efforts to creating these videos for novices like me🙏🙏

You are so so kind to share your knowledge for people who need it. I hope you get the best in life :)

This series is around1135 minutes, which is somewhere around 18 hours. If you watch for 1 hour everyday, you would learn in 2.5 weeks. You learn something that will change a lot of things for you( even if you are not interested in making music) in less than a month. I definitely recommend doing this, also huge thanks to the dude!

It's 2021 and I'm about to start this course. Wish me luck!

I just started learning from lesson 1 from your videos. Thanks you for all your hard work. Stay blessed!

just want to thank you Andrew for this Free Music Theory site. It is very helpful. Some of us wouldn't be able to afford it. I can do it at anytime and can rewind if needed. I always wanted to play the piano, and I'm learning it from you as well. There is reward in giving. May God bless you.

Nice - "music theory is grammar" 👍!!

I'll do my homework tomorrow

I am so happy that I found this site and the piano lesson site. You referred to a 'grandma' who taught you. Well, I am a 68 year old grandma who can't play guitar anymore because of arthritis, so I bought myself a keyboard! I am happy to say that I have no problem with my fingers on the keyboard. Thank you so much for the effort you are putting into these lessons, I am enjoying this to no end! I plan on being able to write some songs in my future (I have two brothers who are musicians as well), and am working everyday on this. I will not give up and you are NEVER to old to learn! I hope you read these comments to know that there are those who value and appreciate you.

this is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!! Even 8 years into the future you are helping people :)

this is helpfull of for me to study the music.thank you very much for it.

Thank you, Andrew. For some reason, I only discovered this channel today and I love it. I am so grateful for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. Thanks again.

OMG so happy you did this for us! So excited to start learning. You're like the best, THANK YOU!

Thank you for all the amazing lessons and the time you have put into this. The thought, and genuine generosity to share your love and passion for music with the world is absolutely beautiful. Thank you.

the universe will repay you :)

I like the way you number your lessons, because total beginners aren't going to know where to begin if you do it differently. btw... Do you need a girlfriend?

14 years it had been, and you have got ton of good positive karmas and I'm so happy about it. Thank you fir this course, id prefer to give something or anything, but I will pray u healthy wealthy life

So, here I am, set to go, completing this lesson, (and painfully, the homework too) determined to learn music. What's more is that not only this legend gives us high-grade tips and starting points to rock-bottom beginners, but it is absolutely free of charge and free of ADS.

i'm a screamer who wants to be in a metal band and this is my initiative to watch these videos

Your videos are very helpful. Thanks...

Thank you so much for your work for all of us who can’t afford music lessons! We need more people like you in the world!

Going through all of these this week. Thank you so very much for your time and effort my good man.

awesome videos! there's some really good staff in here, guys ;)

1,000,000 people made it to lesson one. only 300,000 made it to lesson two lol

Thank you so much for your time, lessons, & teaching Andre...you’re heaven sent and greatly appreciated! ✨💕🎶

Buddy Your Homework Is Like A Boon For Us Since From Small I Had Done Only One Persons Homework And That You Love You

Just wanted to take a moment and say you are amazing. Thank you for the time and effort you took making these videos. You've made an impact on my life and I'm sure countless others. I appreciate you, thank you. I hope all is well with you.

holy shit i love you man for sharing your knowledge about music with everyone for free. thank you, from the bottom of my heart

thanks a million friend

Has anyone ever told you you look like David Bowie? On a diferent note. You seem like a realy nice person.

Back in the days when youtube had a rate option instead of likes and dislikes, I'm 18 & finally had enough of watching covers on youtube, thanks god 11 years ago someone decided to put it up to youtube. I just wanted you to know you are a blessing for people like me, also wish me luck!!

Hi mate, I just found your channel. What you've been doing for the world is amazing. Thank you very much. All the best!

Great lessons.

Hey how u doing it’s 2019 thanks sooooo much and I do know how to play☺️I’m 11 years old!!!!!! You motivate!!!

Hi there. :)A friend of mine has recommanded your channel because I've just started learning piano. So I wanted to thank you very much for providing free lessons on the basics.

Holy thank you this is the holy grail of tutorials !!!! Excited to watch all 50 videos lol

i like this dude

Thank you so much for this. Makes life easier for me as a vocalist. There are tons of talented artist who are restricted in gigs and writing their own material b/c they simply cannot read music or understand theory. I'm watching your videos before I decide to make music a Minor @ my local Community College. Take care --- Dani in Nashville

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, you've made a supporter out of me with your style, passion and knowledge mate. :)

thanks so much. ive been playing piano/guitar/bass for about 8 years. Ive always wanted to learn theory. now with the book i bought and this awesome class i can!!! thank you so much!!

My mind blew up at 5:51

No, he looks like Vash the Stampede.

Fast forward 10 Years later in April 2020, this is still VERY informative! Thanks for starting with the basics (I'm starting from scratch learning music theory) Starting here today with lesson 1! Also, thanks so much for making this lesson FREE in these Covid-19 Pandemic Times! :)

I really respect your efforts thank you so much. I know that I might never be a pro in piano and may be skip playing casio but I truly appreciate ur work and efforts appreciate you

Is this still relevant or have they added too many updates since?
