  1. yeah in reginal auditions there’s stuff like 12/4 and stuff

  2. BEST PART 2:21

  3. Thnx sir, u have been an excellent teacher, AAnd i have made you my ‘Guru’

  4. i love you

  5. Hi! Thanks, great lesson. One question though. With rests, what’s the number associated for?
    e.g The whole rest, it’s for four beats and the number it’s associated with is one. What’s the whoe number associated thing about cause I don’t get it. Lol
    Thanks. :)

  6. dang i want to be homeschooled id be way more advanced not held back

  7. Great video as usual

  8. Excellent videos….Thank-you Andrew…your personable style make your videos even better.

  9. guy’s retardedddd

  10. another good video… u do alot of analogies and repeat alot but i cant complain because im remembering all this stuff really easilly ha ha ur the MAN!!

  11. nice video, thanks. next time less talk and embellishment on the analogies though LOL :P very informative vid though

  12. Yeah man, you truly are the Morpheus of Piano :D Thanks once more for all your vids!

  13. Check out Lesson #40– especially the “more info” section in the sidebar– for more specifics on what to practice. The lesson numbers aren’t necessarily the order you should watch them in.

    Thanks Andrew!!

  14. Never ever ever noticed what line/space the whole/half rest where placed…wow! Learn something new every day!!!

  15. When entering a “wholy” place you must remove your hat and set it down, but HALF of the time you forget to take it off. Haha, god that was lame! But I just made it up and not a whole story! :P

  16. thank you

  17. teacher one taugh me that it would be easier to see the difference between thw whole rest and the half rest. see, the whole is worth more than the half rest, so the hat gets heavier and then it stays upside down. it might help

  18. These lessons are Great but it would help alot if you told us exactly what to practice on piano at the end of every lesson like which scales and which chords

  19. …also kinda looks like an upside down hat. Heyyyy!! LOL

  20. scales and chords

  21. what exactly are we supposed to be practising on the piano, while we’re having lessons on theory? just scales?

  22. Fantastic explanations.
    One quick question… Does this guide apply to all music or just classical based?
    Reggae and Ska-based music, for example, I’m sure goes by a weakStrongweakMedium.
    Might be wrong.
    ‘elp.
    X

  23. Enter the piano matrix!

  24. Dude you totaly got the saying there is a equal and opposite rest from Newton’s Third Law without the reaction part but your vids are really cool though lol

  25. nice tie =D
