Conoce a Andrew Johnson

Welcome to Your Piano Journey

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 fantastic tracks for you, helping you understand how to play your pieces better.

A Little About Me

• I'm a professional pianist and have been for about 25 years.
• I've played all over the world, with orchestras, bands, and served as a music director.
• I've worked for Disney and with some of the biggest cruise ships and entertainment companies in the world.
• Currently, I'm focusing on composing and working on my own album. I've released a few albums over the years.

Basically, I'm having a great time in the music industry using these fingers to make and play music, enjoying my life as a musician.

Why Learning Piano is Fantastic

It's really great that you have chosen to learn the piano. That's absolutely fantastic news!

Whether you're a beginner or an advanced Grade 8 student learning some of the hardcore stuff, you are in the right place.

I've played everything from:

• Concertos and sonatas by Beethoven, Bach, and Chopin
• Rachmaninoff
• To songs like Bruce Hornsby's "The Way It Is," David Bowie's "Life on Mars," and tracks by Coldplay and Elton John.

Getting Deep into the Music

I look forward to getting under the skin of the music and exploring some details that you might not have covered in your weekly lessons.

Even if you haven't had any lessons and are learning from a visual perspective, that's even better! You can take these lessons away and get the most out of them.

What You'll Learn

As your instructor, I'm here to help you understand the finer points of making music:

• Not just technical aspects like scales and arpeggios
• But also the musical side, including how to express yourself.

Music is so much more than just the black dots on the page.

The Heart of Music

As you learn and improve, you'll start to realize how music can 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 to your audience or just to yourself.

Let's Get Started!

That's what we're here to do, and I can't wait to dive in!

We'll explore the courses and pieces we're going to be working on together. It's going to be a lot of fun, and I really look forward to it.

See you there!

Cheers!
