Andrew, you're really awesome. These lessons are fantastic, and your attitude is so relaxed, while your personality is patient. Thank you so much for all of your work. I thoroughly watching your videos - I even laugh at some of your jokes which makes it all the more enjoyable.

Hey, the same reason we use rhythm. Play something without rhyhm, it will make no sense, nobody will be able to hear what it should be etc

Random notes will just sound .. yeah.. random..nothing else. Try get Magic Piano app for iPad, it has a function just spitting out completely random notes. then you will get my point :)

Also, why would you only need 12 keys in an octave? It's just how the west invented music. in ancient cultures 1/8 tone intervals have been used :-)))
