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 me. You're not a parrot so why should people treat you like one?
Because I focus on teaching you to play for yourself so you can learn the pieces you'd like to play with your own skills. I don't do requests for how to play this song or that song. If you want to know something about music/piano, or how something works let me know! I'll do my best to help you, as long as you're respectful. ^_^
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!

About Me:
I took weekly piano lessons for over 17 years starting at the age of 5, but I had a huge struggle with a heart issue. (Read my bio on my website for more info.)
I love to teach and to talk, I'm definitely a people person. I get a lot of enjoyment when I see someone learn something new.
I live in Canada, and I love to ice skate. In my past I used to teach many skating lessons around the city, which actually got me started in teaching. After teaching skating for awhile, I mixed my teaching experience with my background in piano and started my journey as a Piano Teacher. I didn't want to be an uneducated hack of a teacher though. I studied a bunch of courses on learning to teach and became a full time piano teacher. 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!

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!

Thank you Andrew, thank you so much for these videos. I've been looking around for theory lessons on line for free. I've recently taken up interest in music again and more or less forgot what I learned in four years of music in high school. I've been trying to learn classical guitar recently and am saving up to get back into playing alto sax, the first instrument I picked up when I started taking music in school. Sorry to hear about your heart trouble, but I'm glad to see you are dealing with it well.
