I am so glad I had come across you and your magical playing as well as a great teacher who doesn't assume that people know how to play. Even after 37 years in the music industry you have given me a fresh new prospective & outlook on music & it's beauty, sensativity, love, compassion & most of all, it's intemacy. I look forward to be watching every performance you upload on youtube as well as any future lessons that you so kindly give with the goodness of your heart. There's not many of us around these days & I sure know what you mean by saying: "Give A Man A Fish & You Feed Him For A Day, Teach Him How To Fish & You Feed Him For A Lifetime". Andrew, whether you're a Christian or not, I believe you have a God Given Gift just as God had given me the gift of music since the age of 5. Well, that's when I found out that I had it, only when my mum bought me a lap harp in '64. I believe very strongly that no matter how long one had been in the music industry, there's always something to learn. We never stop learning even till the day we die. "CONGRATULATIONS!"

I was wondering if maybe you could post the tabs for the piece list you gave us for each grade. Sometimes I find the songs but they are arranged and I don't really know which one I could use. Thank you so much. Writing from Colombia. Kevin Hi Andrew, I appreciate a lot your effort, I’ve learned a lot from your videos.

My name is Andrew as well, it's a pleasure to meet you. My wife and I were married in '84 and tried to have kids, if we had a boy he would be around your age and definately full of knowledge in music from his dad. But, as it so happens, not everything turns out as we would like it. But we are still together even after 27 years and though we don't have children of our own, we still love each other like the first day we met. My wife continuely encourages me with my music and loves to hear and watch me perform live on stage. Even though I have been in the music industry for well over 37 years, I still have lots to learn about music. Andrew, your journey in the music industry had just started, you will have lots of new exciting adventures coming your way as you continue on. As an experienced musician I can tell you right now to stay away from negative minded people, they will only try and discourage you cause you can do amazingly what you're doing. My wonderful teacher in learning to sightread "Carol Kaye" http://www.carolkaye.com had taught me from 1991 to play the bass and learning how to read music "The Studio Musicians Way", please check her website, I'm sure you'll be delighted in what you'll find. Now that I have learned to play the guitar as a 15 year old and played in many bands since then, finding Carol Kaye and learning to play the bass and read the bass clef, I felt it was time to start picking up another instrument. So I travelled to The Top End of Australia to a place called Darwin where I bought my first Dijeridoo. Learning how to play was easy, getting the circular breathing was a challenge in itself. Now at 51, I'm searching and searching and finally found what I was looking for to learn how to play. The Piano... Even though I have a rough background on music, when I happened to search in YouTube, I found you. I liked your teaching technique and how you do not assume that people have any background knowledge. You explain it all in a very pleasant and understanding way. I'm learning each time I watch your videos and keeps me wanting more and more... You are a very very talented and knowledgable teacher who should be granted an award just in what you do and for helping others how to play the piano. If I had a son like you I would be on top of the world. HAVING TROUBLE COORDINATING LEFT & RIGHT HANDS: I still have trouble in coordinating the left and right hands on the piano to play together, but hopefully with watching your videos I'll be able to do it. Keep it up and God Bless You Andrew! You're a blessing to all and a treasure to the world. Regards, Andy. Hi Andrew,

I have always wanted to learn how to play the piano, but just couldn't afford to pay for the lessons. I used to play the flute when I was in the 7th grade, but I dropped the class after two years. I am actually learning to play the piano, and I am so thankful and excited. I can see myself playing the piano with two hands in the very near future! I write Christian lyrics and can put vocal melody to my songs, but have not been able to apply any instrumental to them. For years, I had been praying and asking the Lord to help me learn to play the piano, and to provide the resources to take lessons. God is always faithful! I'm looking forward to Lesson #4. God Bless you for your generous and caring heart. Thank you. Erica Martin Hi Andrew,

I played by ear as a child but never got the chance to have "proper" lessons and eventually lost the hunger. Many years later the spark is back yayy me :0) and I’m on fire. Most internet sites are pretty much just after your money but I could not believe my luck or my eyes when I came upon your site. This is exactly what I needed all those years ago, and exactly what I was looking for now! I have to say whole heartedly you really are an inspiration and to share what you have worked so hard yourself to learn for free in my books makes you an exceptional person. I wish you all the happiness in the world ...oh... and please keep the jokes coming you do make me chuckle xx Hi Andrew,
