Thanks for checking in, mate. I hear you, man, about time being so important but so hard to come by.  I, too, stuggle to find the time to do important things in a material world. Cheers, Frank.

Thank you very much. I've been playing for about 2 years now, teaching myself, and was starting to get frustrated with my lack of progress. This series has been fantastic. Really enjoyed it and now feel so much freer at the piano. Before watching these videos I was playing the notes and not the music. You've taught me how to play the music. How do I thank you?

This is a fantastic series! Thank you so much for making it and sharing it with the world for free. My piano playing has already improved thanks to my new awareness of my body while I'm playing. I'm going to get stuck in to all your other videos now :) Thanks again.

Thank you, Frank!

The arm, forearm, body, and spiritual techniques are invaluable.

They make a big difference between make it or not to learning piano.

I have spent my life working on what you talk about here, and I agree with everything you have said. I love your kind and positive nature. If you have kids, I'll bet you are a great dad! Good luck to you, Frank. I'll check out your website.

Almost sad to see that this is the last video. It's apparent that quite a bit of effort went into this production and I wanted to thank all that were involved. I thoroughly enjoyed the way you presented your information, Frank, and I had quite a few laughs! It's truly a wonderful thing to pass on a wealth of experience such as this! And I'm sure it will come back to you when you need it the most! Thanks again, and I wish you the best fortune in all of your endeavors!

Hi Frank, I had suffered from tennis elbow for almost 8 years and through experimentation I have reached at the same conclusions. Now I can really enjoy playing so to anyone watching these I can assure of their validity. While I was watching your videos I was constantly wishing I had seen these videos 10 years ago and not having had to learn this the hard way. Thank you sooo much for posting these! I have already sent this to all my pianist friends/teachers.

thanks alot Frank . I watched entire series . You are great teacher . I will be always grateful to you ...

[Jimmyrmont]

cont from before. ....My question is, I was using all finger muscle to play are you saying not to use any? or a mix of mostly full arm and what's needed in your finger muscles? It seems you have to use some finger muscle. Thanks for your help may someone help you the same someday soon.

Hi Frank! Thanks for your help. I am a new student 52 yrs old been a guitar player since 12. I always loved the piano so a few weeks ago I started I bought just last week a weighted keyboard a Yamaha DGX-640 so I could practice on something very close to a real piano feel. Before watching your course my right forarm would always been in a locked position. I'm with your help loosing up, but still not there yet, I guess it takes time to loose the bad habit I had, correct? cont....

Thanks for putting out this series of lessons. You've answered some great questions I've had on basic and advanced technique, as well as reasons for hands&arm tension after a long practice (I have very small hands so octaves are a strain). Really enjoyed your natural, friendly, and sometimes humorous instructions. (I'll remember my "Fred"!) You are a really good teacher.
