I hope you guys find this useful and helpful! Enjoy music!
Revisiting your channel after 7 years and hearing that intro music piece made me cry . I was a clueless teenager from a remote village in India who wanted to play the piano so badly that i drew a replica of keyboard and stick it to my table and my only saviour at that time was you . I used to proudly boast to my mom and dad that you are my teacher and you are such a gem of a person . Thanks for everything Andrew . I sincerely hope we will meet in future . I will one day . Stay safe . God bless
wow! so glad i coulf help you in some way! How are you doing now?
@Shalvi Bhatnagar which anime was it? I'd be interested to watch it:)
also, GOOD LUCK hope you're doing great!
Tyf nowadays making iIaGr🎉yo😮this 🎉
This is touching!
I am also from India and I also really want to learn the piano. I have way more resources and right now I am using my grandfather's old piano
10 years, think of that
This guy taught an entire generation music theory
Kinda crazy how a decade has gone by already! I'm working on a piano learning app now called "Piano Planet", in the end it should be far far more powerful for teaching than I ever could through video alone. Super pumped!
@@pianolounge when the app will be available ?

It seems I know nothing of the art that I love. Lets change this.
Fool!
(Sorry, I couldn't resist. :3)
Same here. Been playing guitar for most of the last 27 years, but never bothered to learn music theory. Guitar tabs is all I know.
Let's change this.
quazzie1 tooo bad!
Dario Rigon Channel
Yes, very bad. I was satisfied only knowing that stuff then. Now I want to do it right.
Gen Higgins Michael Jackson didn't know how to read music. But he was the king of Pop. Music should come from inside first. You're gonna be fine if you try and don't give up. :)
7 years later and this video series is still incredibly helpful and kind of you to share to aspiring musicians around the world !! It's so hard finding music theory lessons on UA-cam that start straight from the beginning of music theory and explain everything in a simple and easy way to understand AND while not having a complete serious/dull mood but instead having an exciting mood, making is so much easier to keep attention and interest in learning about music in your videos !!! You have such a kind heart and soul thank you so so much !!!!!! :D ^-^
Thank you! I'm glad to help. :)
Andrewz , why did you stop making videos?
Dear teacher, I have done homework, and thank you for making such courses free.
If somebody, from 2056 is gonna read this message, this teacher is gonna help you, because he helps in 2017 while he made this video in 2010.
still i 2019
yaaaaaaaa khaye in 2056 u dont need youtube. you plugin kis umak elon musk nuero link and click download ayre
Still in 2020
2020 😭
Still 2020
why dafuck people dislike this? guy is teaching important stuff for free!
maybe because he wears his watch on the right hand
The best way to look at this is that for every person who dislikes this video there are 19 who like it (ball park estimate) . I think that some people want to believe that music is some sort of "pure" art that can exist outside the boundries of rules . But what makes music so beautiful is that it lives within a beautifuly complex set of rules which are based upon the natural vibrations and motions of the universe.
I agree. People are sick! They are ungrateful and would do nothing to improve the world. Instead, they would prefer to demean someone who is doing something positive. God bless him!
started watching these videos during my quarantined senior year of high school in Turkey, now I came across the playlist and got emotional a bit. I was always passionate for music but did not have a conservatory background so was not sure where to start but this channel helped me learn most of what i needed on my own. I am currently in a jazz school in Paris and was even able to skip a year because I had studied a lot of theory with your channel.. so thank you and for anyone seeing this in the comments who is starting their journey today I hope this could be some motivation :)
Yo this dude is the truth. Keep doing what you do and spreading positivity.
+Geronamo ASB Thanks! :) Love your attitude.
+Lypur i wish i lived where you did so i can have a 1 on 1 session on how i can learn music melodies.
Geronamo ASB Thank you!
You have a wonderful heart! it makes me so happy! :)
+Dreaming of Japan Thanks! ^_^
+Dreaming of Japan agreed!!
Agree :) God bless you!!
+Dreaming of Japan how u can say that he have wonderfull heart.....u seen it
yea:D
This guy is the real MVP! thanks for giving back bro.
I've been learning this dudes stuff for a good few months (had to come back here to learn how to draw clefs again). He's awesome. If you're just starting this stick with it. He'll take you through everything to get you to understand theory. I used a few books alongside his videos and I'm now learning to play some pretty complex pieces. I'm an electronic producer, but through learning theory you appreciate classical and Jazz and you'll end up wanting to play that sort of stuff. Thanks Lypur
it's very cool what this guy has done :) Helping me to accomplish my dream to understand better how music works.
What books did you use? I am very interested in making electronic type stuff. I'm hoping his videos will improve my tunes.
Cool to see there are so many producers here. I wanna become a better one as well :D
Patrick dippel I'll get a list of the books I used/use when I get home. And yeah, these videos will improve your skills as a musician. Patience, and lots of practice works very well :) Eventually you start using your theory knowledge without even realising. It becomes second nature. At least to me.
James Jeffery That would be sweet thanks!
ur the best ...:)
Yes you are right 😁

:) I'm so glad to hear that!
One thing that makes you better than all the other thousands of confusing, complex and mind-twisting tuts, is the joy you put in yours.
You goof around and make it fun/silly, but you do it in a serious manner.
You're an excellent teacher and I would like a donation link. Once I have enough funds to spare, you'll get a check from this guy.
Kudos, and keep doing what you do!
Thanks so much for the kind words! ^_^
@@pianolounge Haha. After 5 years finnally got an answer.
Hi Andrew.
Before of everything you're a wonderful person for doing this for free. It's very kind.
For a year i wanted to start learning music theory but there's no teacher where i live and i don't have enough money to pay private lessons. Plus, i'm a very shy person so i don't lead very well with strangers.
But for someway i really want to meet you one day.
Continuing, i had music lessons when i was in 5th and 6th grade. And i came to the conclusion that i know nothing about what i love in my life.
I had drawing the treble clef in the wrong way all this years.
In this video i learnt more than i learnt in 2 years. Thank you so much.
P.S: I'm portuguese. If you don't know where Portugal is, Portugal is that tiny country next to Spain. So you're getting famous around the world.
You're a amazing pianist with a amazing heart.
Carina Santos Is that in Afrika or Asia? I'm not sure.
Ahn Portugal? :P No, Portugal is in Europe. :)
No!
Yes it is ha ha ha, Do you know where Spain is? Portugal is next to Spain, on the left side.
+Carina Santos He is trolling you honey :)
theory starts at 4:55
Eager to learn, huh? ;D
I've been playing piano "by ear" for nearly 30 years, playing Chopin and video game music mostly...I love it! Yet here I am, day ONE of your course, learning about "the staff" hehe...thank you so much for making this and for being an awesome human being! My midlife crisis is feeling a little less like a disaster and more like an exciting new beginning :)
I'll definitely study this everyday... Fo sure... and prove someday that I learn from a pianist who offered to teach music for free....... Thank you ^^
上田雅子 let me know how u do XD!
And? how is it going?
she quit the next day
How is it going after one year?

One of the best humans alive. To do something so altruistic out of your own motivation, shows massive confidence. Thank you for being you!
Many years ago, I found your channel and promised myself that when I had the time, I'd start learning music theory and how to play the piano. Now that I have some time let's go for it! :D I'm glad I could find your videos again.
My grandfather expertises in Classical Indian Ragas. He learnt music the very hard way. I remember he said that his guru, in order to teach one right note, would make them work real hard.
You are doing a great job sir. Good luck with all your efforts.
You are pretty generous to share your knowledge about music theory. Good show.
I you ever read this, and for what it's worth: "YOU ARE THE MAN, ANDREW!"
O man finally someone from this year
All other comments are very old
Hes fucking great
Ikr?
Thank so much. I almost finished your lessons a couple of years ago but took a leave to learn some other things. I'm back to become the pianist I've always wanted to be. Thank sooo much for sharing your knowledge with all that reaches for it.
Thanks a lot! I'm looking forward to checking out all the classes.
I took piano lessons for several months as a child and had music lessons in school and I just watched lesson 1 in Music Theory and it's like the light came on. I actually understood, this is fantastic, there's absolutely no way I could afford a teacher like this. You are a true blessing thank you so much for what you are doing.
Lypur! I watched the first few of these long ago, but got distracted from music for a very long time. Now my passion has been re-ignited and I'm pleased to know these are all still here.
I just want to say how amazing your videos have been for me. I have ADHD and it's really difficult for me to focus on something or consistently practice something. I learned basic piano when I was young but I've wanted to really learn more about piano and music for the longest time, but ADHD makes that very difficult. Your videos have helped me not only find new things to learn, but have also allowed me to both practice practically with your piano videos, but learn music theory while doing other things like playing video games or cooking or whatever (I need multiple things happening at once in order to stay engaged and learn). Being able to learn about the music then inspires me to actually go practice more, and it creates an amazing positive feedback loop.
Thank you so incredibly much for being just a genuine person using your time and abilities to help others learn at no cost.
ITs Been 9 Years And This Video Still Gives The Feeling Of Present
I Would Just Tell One Thing To You.........
You Are The One Who Showed Me Right Way
Love You Buddy
This Is One Of The Best Channel On UA-cam
Phenomenal
i love how this teacher smiles and is so calm! and love his teaching skills! A+ :)
I feel like I’ve stumbled across something amazing here. An entire course on music theory with included study. I’m a self taught musician and I understand the rudiments of theory but I’ve been wanting to learn it in full for a few years now and when I would search for music theory teaching videos, I never found this series. Glad I found it now. I’m excited and hoping this can teach me everything I need to know in order to have a complete grasp of music theory.
Thank you so much, you have no Idea how hard I've been searching for music theory explained by an actual person.
Thank You for the brief explanation on why music theory is so important, it seem like the more I dive deep into learning music and the orgins I become more and more amused. I will take advantage of these courses.
Andrew, you're amazing! I'm a complete beginner and I'm so glad to have found you! Keep up the great work!
I just found this today and am very excited about your theory lessons. I was in choir all through my school days and now homeschool my son. This will be an invaluable resource! Thank you!!!
i just fxxxxxx love this guy! :D he has got the 90s look/style.... XD
Thank you Andrew for sharing your gift to the world
Andrew...I really appreciate your will and passion to offer up music classes to all of us. Thanks a lot... I have been wanting to learn more about western music theory and harmony...composition.....for so long.This will surely help me and many like me to create music. All because you made it free for all to learn... Keep up the GREAT work.... God Bless...
I live in a small town in Sweden which has almost no music teacher’s that offers piano courses for absolute beginners. But those courses that are available are so incredibly expensive for me. So I want to thank you for making this course absolutely free even after 10 years haha! Thank you!
You are so kind to give free music theory lessons like this
I'd be willing to pay for these videos ( to what I can afford of course :P )
Your awesome bro thanks!
Thank you so much for all you do. I learned about you 2 years ago and I'm still improving my playing skills as well as learning music theory. I have learned so much from your videos and just wanted to say a big thanks for doing this to help people. You have made what I thought impossible to be very much possible. :)
honestly you you have a wonderful way in teaching, i've been browsing for months and i've seen many people try to do it but you are the best, keep on doing it .. that how you will be remembered ... good lick :)
You are FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Thank you soo much for doing this, I know it takes a lot of time and work, and I REALLY appreciate it. :)
I'll do my homework tomorrow
Heard that one before...
@@teo5146 oh have you ??
14 years it had been, and you have got ton of good positive karmas and I'm so happy about it. Thank you fir this course, id prefer to give something or anything, but I will pray u healthy wealthy life
I've always been fascinated with the piano and being able to read and play sheet music. Though I have never found anybody who could really connect with me and actually explain it the way I would understand it. I have to say thank you so very much sir. You are an inspiration and you are helping me attain my dream. Thank you so much for your lessons.
omg!!!!! I have been wanting to learn piano for years. Took lessons as an adult, but got into a bad habit of writing finger numbers on the sheet music. never learned how to play. Have a grandson who plays by ear, doesn't want lessons, I told him God gave him a gift it is his responsibility to sharpen that gift not ignore it. whenever he comes over he plays for me. He is in fifth grade, and starting band, hopefully he will learn to read music. I love the learn to play piano videos, I thank you for starting from the beginning and making people feel comfortable if they are willing to put in the work, they will be able to do it, God has given you a gift thanks for sharing. Grandma wendy
How are you and your grandson doing?
Hi, I'm a new student and I hope to see how your videos work in my education of music theory. It's cool to see this was made 13 years ago, as I am a student in 2023. Look forward to learning from you lessons a day.
I'm like only 4 minutes into this, and already super excited to continue watching this series. This is admirable that you'd go through this much trouble. Thanks!
I was following your lessons from about one year ago and I was getting good, but due to life circumstances I had stopped watching them. but I am now recommitting my self to these lessons, I really have a desire to play the piano. thank man, and I hope that the good lord will bless you for all that you are doing for the world, anyway I am from Jamaica. yea mon
Nice - "music theory is grammar" 👍!!
I remember having to diagram sentences when I was in 3rd and 4th grade. Fifty -plus years later, I can correctly write a sentence without batting an eyelash. You're doing the same thing for music, and the result will be the same for everyone who watches and learns from you. Thank you so much!!
the universe will repay you :)
Did it?
I’m just starting this course today!!! Been playing the cornet since I was 8 and the piano since I was 18, looking forward to brushing up and increasing my skills
Yay! This actually feels like a real class. I was just searching for music theory examples so I could see if I should take a class, but now I can take one right here. Thank you soooo much! Saving me 3 trips per week. :)
It's 2021 and I'm about to start this course. Wish me luck!
Good luck Zeke! Wishing you the best on the course! Kick some butt!
This series is around1135 minutes, which is somewhere around 18 hours. If you watch for 1 hour everyday, you would learn in 2.5 weeks. You learn something that will change a lot of things for you( even if you are not interested in making music) in less than a month. I definitely recommend doing this, also huge thanks to the dude!
I'm just starting out with piano and i found you here on UA-cam. Thanks for this service you are offering for free. i look forward to it all.
Back in the days when youtube had a rate option instead of likes and dislikes, I'm 18 & finally had enough of watching covers on youtube, thanks god 11 years ago someone decided to put it up to youtube. I just wanted you to know you are a blessing for people like me, also wish me luck!!
Thanks. You'll be my daughter's music theory teacher from here on out! :)
and mine!
Thank you so much. This is helping me learn the fundamentals so I can learn Piano without costing my parents too much money :)
holy shit i love you man for sharing your knowledge about music with everyone for free. thank you, from the bottom of my heart
I love this guy, I learnt piano through his videos, 3 years later and coming back to music theory lol, thanks so much!
So this is what boredom has led me to. Might as well go all the way in learning this, i've only learnt a bit of piano when i was young and i regret stopping :(
+PureS0u1
Made any progress?
Watched a few of these videos so far, but its been a while since i've been concentrating on school. I'll resume soon since my break is almost here. Thanks for reminding me lol
+PureS0u1 here's your second reminder. :^)
+PureS0u1 Third reminder. Get on this shit, nigga.
Thank me later.
Your videos are very helpful. Thanks...
I just started learning from lesson 1 from your videos. Thanks you for all your hard work. Stay blessed!

HOME WORK!!! I LOVE IT! you are now my favorite teacher!
I literally just learned the basics on piano and reading sheet music from this guy. Now I'm going through the entire music theory. This guy is a pioneer of online music lessons.
Great lessons.
best Music Theory teacher.
Gonna make learning how to read music & play the piano a priority this year, so I’m finally gonna get through this series that’s been in my watchlist for years! thank you so much for your contribution, 12 years later! ❤️
What a sweet guy. You’re teaching everything so well and in detail. Thank you
thanks a million friend
Thank you, Andrew. For some reason, I only discovered this channel today and I love it. I am so grateful for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this! I'm using this to help me for my Music GCSE which, is coming up next year. Also, I love the tutorials, and this music theory. It's helping me so much! As I say again, thank you so much for making this!! :D
This is amazing!! I'm so glad I found you, I been wanting to learn music theory for so long ;) SUBSCRIBED!! Just saw the first half of lesson one and I'm very excited to get my paper, ruler and pencil. Lol.."woohoo....yay! homework"
awesome videos! there's some really good staff in here, guys ;)
Veronica Mmari you spelled stuff wrongly
My mind blew up at 5:51
ummmmmm we learned this at school an im 4th grade
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS😭 GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL FOR SHARING THIS WITH US!!
This January it will be 10 years since you made this video. I want to thank you for countless lives you have touched and changed. Hope you are doing good in life wherever you are.
Lesson actually starts at 4:50.. You're welcome!
i like this dude
I found this just today. The lesson was great and exactly what I was looking for. I homeschool and know the basics of Music Theory and wanted my kids have the opportunity to go further in music. You've provided that along with giving me more instruction. Fantastic.
Just to want to thank you Andrew for your free music theory lessons. I'm very fortunate to watch all of your lessons 9 years ago and it became my foundation in music theory. I finished my Bachelors Degree in Music Education here in the Philippines last 2019 and it all started with your lessons. I'm very grateful to you. Thanks a lot!
I like the way you number your lessons, because total beginners aren't going to know where to begin if you do it differently.
btw... Do you need a girlfriend?
Signed in just to thumb you up. God bless you, beautiful soul !
He's married now aha
I need lol
lmao
Thank you Sherminator
SO THANKFUL FOR THIS!!!! Thank you so much for making this course!
You are so so kind to share your knowledge for people who need it. I hope you get the best in life :)
Has anyone ever told you you look like David Bowie? On a diferent note. You seem like a realy nice person.
No, he looks like Vash the Stampede.
Thank you so much! I really needed a refresher course.
God bless this man. Watching your free music theory courses from Iran. Going to continue watching once a day and take notes. I love music theory and I love playing the piano. There aren't many affordable and professional classes here. So I'm going to thank God for the Internet and Andrew for this amazing opportunity. And I will comment "God bless this man" under every lesson after I finish them. ❤
1,000,000 people made it to lesson one. only 300,000 made it to lesson two lol
+GeoFresh :( I know hey? I wish people would stick with it, but I understand if my personality is too hard to handle for 2/3rds of people.
+Lypur haha no no your personality is entertaining .. it must be your spiky hair, most people take one look at it and is thrown into an instant paralysis. It's a common condition in our modern society -_-
nah man, its most likely because people are just procrastinating... I know because I'm one of those people haha
+Lypur your personality makes these videos barable to be honest-- its nice having a fun-loving person who loves music teaching a subject that can get dull.
thank you for everything.
+GeoFresh Maybe 700000 switched off during the LONG introduction. No content until 5 minutes in, just rambling.
Hey how u doing it’s 2019 thanks sooooo much and I do know how to play☺️I’m 11 years old!!!!!! You motivate!!!
What up its 2020
I am going to watch your course this summer, thank you so much :D
You are an amazing human being! I will watch all of your music theory and piano lessons religiously to master playing the piano and to compose my own music. You're my idol man! Thank you so much for these videos!
This man made me who I am today
I did?
