Lesson transcript:
Hey there, everybody! How are you today? Great to see you!
My name is Andrew James Johnson. I'm a composer and pianist from the UK. We're sitting in a great studio here in the heart of London, with a beautiful Steinway piano.
I'm going to be recording some great tracks for you, helping you to understand and play your pieces better.
Currently, I'm focusing on composing and working on my own album. I've released a few albums over the years and am having a great time in the music industry, using these fingers to make and play music.
It's really great that you have chosen to learn the piano! That's absolutely fantastic news.
Whether you're a beginner watching this or an advanced Grade 8 student learning some hardcore pieces, you are in the right place.
I have played everything from:
To contemporary artists like:
You name it; we've got the lot! I look forward to getting under the skin of the music and diving into details that you might not have had in your lessons.
Whether you have regular lessons or are purely learning visually, I'm here to help you understand the finer points of making music.
It's not just about the black dots on the page; music is so much more than that. As you learn and improve, I hope to help you make your music come alive.
The real difference between a professional player and an amateur is the ability to speak to people and communicate the message of the music, whether it's for yourself or your audience.
That's what we're here to do, and I can't wait to see you on the inside! We'll get started with some of the courses and pieces that we're going to be doing.
It's going to be a lot of fun! Really looking forward to it.
See you there! Cheers!
