Basic Information:
I've been playing the piano for about 17 years. I'm currently a fourth year in medical school. Thank you to all who leave comments; I read and appreciate all of them.

FAQ:
1. Can you send me the sheets?
I'm sorry; I play almost everything without sheet music. You can buy almost any song here: http://www.musicnotes.com/

2. What kind of keyboard do you play?
In my old videos, I'm playing a Roland FP-3. In my new videos, I'm playing a Roland Fantom X8.

3. Where have you been/Why did you take so much time off?
I got fed up with YouTube mixing my recordings down to mono from stereo. The difference between mono and stereo is massive; YouTube also seemed to downgrade the quality of the audio. Every now and then I'd come back and see if the audio situation had improved. When I heard YouTube finally allowed stereo, I knew it was time to come back. I'm loving the audio quality that I can get now with my new uploads.

4. How do you get such a clear sound?
I use a VSTi called Ivory (by the company Synthogy) that records directly to a Soundblaster soundcard; there is no microphone in my set-up. If you have money to spare and a decent computer setup, I would highly recommend Ivory--it has three piano samples (C7 Yamaha, Model D Steinway, and Imperial Bösendorfer) that total 10 gigabytes. I mainly use the Steinway sample. I also use Magix Movie Edit Pro to normalize the volume and remove any background hiss.

5. How do you have time to make videos in medical school?
I'm in my fourth year, which is well-known to be the easiest year. :)

6. Do you take requests?
I welcome requests, but I only end up playing the songs that I think I can do something with. Ultimately, I end up playing about 5% of the requests I receive.

7. Did you go to Vanderbilt?
I did!

8. Why do you only show your hands in your videos?
I've been guilty of making some weird facial expressions that I don't want on camera.

9. Why don't you place more of your MP3's on iTunes?
The copyright/royalty situation with selling covers is complicated. If somebody else who knew what they were doing could set it up for me, I'd gladly put everything I have up on iTunes. When it comes down to it, I just don't wanna get sued.

10. Can you do a tutorial for X song?
A good tutorial is a ton of work, and I'm afraid I'm just too lazy. :)
