A big G'day to you Mark from Melbourne Australia. And yes us musos are a talkative bunch.I was going to write a medium length message to Tom, but then I read your novel haha (which I thoroughly enjoyed) 😮 and thought I'd keep it short. It's great to see people who genuinely love their music. Tap on my head to see my youtube piano channel (not great... yet) but gotta start somewhere. Obviously LCSP can help us all. 😊🎹🎶
I really enjoyed listening to you. Yes it may be different but that is what is great about music.. we can express songs as we see fit. I'll watch the rest of them too 😊 I see what you mean with the loudness of the piano... wow! I'm getti g my pianola tuned tomorrow after years (1886 Schwetzen Berlin) and she is loud too, but has a different sound to. Gotta love them all. Keep learning, living and loving 😊
And thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Check out my attempt at Iron Maiden haha. Tom Will see what a crazy student he will have on his hands if I start online lessons lol. I play by feel and by ear, so I love LCSP as they think outside the box 😁😘
You guys are great to be doing this. I'm working on a blues song called "Regrets." The first two lines are: "Two things 'bout my life, I really do regret. I quit takin' piano lessons and started smokin' cigarettes." I'm going to use the riffs you taught us here to start the song. Thanks so much.
Thank you for your instruction. I feel empowered to really get down to work, that improving my playing is now a matter of putting in the practice, and with you as a teacher, I feel confident I can achieve the level of mastery I'm envisioning.
Sir,you have explained what others make most complicated,so easy for any kindergarten to learn and understand,thanks so so much for making it so easy,you are a great teacher Sir,blessings galore,happy new year to you and to this great family,I wish I knew this page long ago
Thanks! It was great! I was trained as a classical pianist, but now I am teaching some of my students improvisation using the blues scale, and your tips are invaluable.
Thank you kindly. We're more than a RU-vid channel - we're a vibrant community hub, rooted in a place of authentic connection and shared growth. Online metrics may offer a portion of our tale, yet they can't capture the full breadth and depth of our work in piano education.Thankyou for kind comments.
Thank you Tom. Another great lesson. Everything is once again very clear. I have been to your website and am interested in learning one on one.I will need to get myself organised. You are a great teacher... I may not be a great student lol. 😉
Hi..reakyvlove the blues.. Easy to play even though I'm not to good at Panio I get a lot of enjoyment playing. Put few words to it as I go your vids are realy with while leaning. Great to find your school.. Regards.. Stan
Another gem, thank you for making me sound a little like I know what I'm doing haaha, I know a piano/keyboard only sounds as good as the player makes it sound, however, what keyboard and model is it you are using here, are you playing through external speakers, thanks again much appreciated.
it's quite a complex set up I'm using a Roland Keyboard patched in with VST software, which is why the audio is so pristine. (I'm a massive audiophile....) and sound quality is extremely important, I'm looking forward to shooting some less digital tutorials on some Grand Pianos this year, especially my beloved Blüthner.
Hmm strange. I just tested this on my Samsung S21 in a noisy cafe and I had to turn it down. If you use proper headphones or speakers, you'll find the videos at a close to audiophile standard, but audiophile graded recordings can sound poor on some cell phones. The Voice microphone being used this video are the classic AKG 404 - which are used at BBC broadcasting House. (That's why I choose them!!)
