Hello, I'm a pianist and Piano Teacher. I've posted a few videos of myself playing piano, as well as a few other various things including a set of free piano 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!!!
About Me:
 
I like to have fun, things should be simple not complicated, life is already complicated enough!

I've been taking weekly 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 ice skating, I used to teach many skating lessons around the city, which actually got me started in teaching. Later, I just took my knowledge of the piano, mixed it with my experience I started teaching piano. I then studied a bunch of courses on learning to teach became a full time 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!

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 like your tutorials but you need to use mics, so it can sound a little professional, Its Ironic your teaching music with bad sound.

Merry christmas! I just found a keyboard in my storage room and your channel! This must be a sign to start learning. Looking forward to starting your videos soon.

Merry Christmas! I got a keyboard this year ("for practice, while you wait for the real piano", my father said), and I don't need to say I'm thrilled. I've wanted to learn a while now, but I couldn't find anyone close who had the time to teach me. Very happy I found you, and proud to call you my teacher. :) Thank you!
