Hello, I'm a pianist. I've posted a few videos of myself playing piano, as well as a few other various things including a set of lessons. I'll be adding more video's as I learn new songs and uploading one lesson every week or so for those of you who want to learn to play piano. Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy everything. Good Luck practicing!


My philosophy for teaching here is:
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day,

Teach a man HOW to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

I'm focused on teaching you how to play for yourself. Not teach you to copy what I've learn. You're not a parrot so why should people treat you like one?

In saying that, I don't do requests for how to play this song or that song, but if you want to know something about music/piano, or how something works PLEASE let me know!

Please though, before you ask any questions, look though my videos first, and if I haven't covered something you want to know about then ask away! ^_^ thanks! Enjoy!!!
Name: Andrew
Age: 22
I like to have fun, things should be simple not complicated, life is already complicated enough!

I've been taking piano lessons for over 17 years, I started when I was 5 years old. I love to teach and to talk, I'm definitely a people person.

I live in Northern British Columbia, and I LOVE hockey and ice skating, I used to coach hockey for kids aged 5-12, and I taught many skating lessons around the city, which actually got me started in teaching, then I just took my knowledge of the piano and POOF! I became a piano teacher and I haven't looked back since!


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-=-=-=-

I want to thank every single one of my subscribers for their support and I genuinely hope that each one of you has learned something useful!

Thank you everyone!!! ^_^ I look forward to serving you long into the future!

Yours Truly,


Andrew Furmanczyk :: www.howtoplaypiano.ca


I have a Podcast as well the link is:

I'm on istardom.com as well.

You can find me on facebook if you search
"Andrew Furmanczyk"


I decided that I'd make my lessons available for download on torrent.

You can go here to download the torrent file: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ je7clv (take out the space)

There's only two things I don't want to happen as a result of people downloading the lessons.

1 is i don't want people to sell these to other people on burnt discs. So please respect my wishes and if you know of anyone selling my lessons let me know and I'll raise hell with them.

2 is I don't want people posting my videos on youtube and claiming to be me. Thanks everyone!

Andrew Furmanczyk's Youtube Music Academy, How to Play Piano  
I'm just a regular guy, who enjoys helping people out. I've been playing piano and studying music since I was 5 years old, and I am currently a Piano Teacher in real life, I have about 30 students in my studio. I wanted to make this series to help people who want to learn piano, but can't afford or don't have access to a teacher. I'm a pretty easy going guy, so hopefully you'll be entertained!

Happy Practising!

I must thank you for all the time and effort you've put into your lesson videos. I played piano when I was younger and your first few lessons have taught me so much more than my piano teacher did. Thanks for not leaving out the basics *for fear of them being too much for a beginner*. You explain things in such an easy to understand way. Thank you!

It's been a week since I started learning, and I practiced sometimes for an hour or two or sometimes just 10 minutes, but at least once a day. It wasn't hard: after I knew how to play things that "sound good" to my ears, I couldn't resist sitting down every time I got home from work. I watched through lesson #6, and that was enough to read sheet music for "Mad World", and well, now, I can play it =)

Your free lessons have given me more happiness with music than I've ever experienced in a formal setting. I cannot thank you enough! Holy hell. And to think, anyone in the whole world can do what I did =P I'm so happy I would shower you in hugs and squish the crap out of you, so it's a good thing this is all virtual.

Keep on keeping on =) Peace
