Hey Guys,

I know I've been away for awhile (I still am actually) but I wanted to give everyone an update on what's been going on!

I've been practising hard for my exam...hands are killing me, but it's going well. Once it's finished I'll be able to make more piano lessons! ^_^

Also, I spent a very large amount of money buying a professional field microphone with a flash drive which records in 24 bit WAV format. Incredible sound. PLUS I bought a Canon VIXIA HF 100, which shoots in full 1080 HD. It's being shipped here. So expect to see some much higher quality videos in the future! Very Happy

I've also got some other really exciting news happening as well. I got offered an AMAZING opportunity to live and study with that great teacher in Vancouver I met over spring break. He wants me train me, study right under him, live in his place and teach down there! So, I've decided I'm going to be moving down to Vancouver, as he wants me there for August. If you're worried, don't be. I'll be shooting LOTS of videos still. I might even shoot more since I will have SO much piano knowledge on hand Wink I think i'm going to do a full video on this when I get my camera and explain everything that's happening. sunny

Well, I know you won't be seeing 1080P anytime soon on YouTube. I'll have to figure out a way for people to download the high quality version.

^_^ hey, no sadly they're VERY strict about stuff like that. You can't even bring a camera inside the BUILDING let alone inside the room. The windows are boarded up and you have to be very quiet. Also if you take a single piece of photo copied music. you get thrown out of the exam. it's pretty brutal!

Greetings Andrew-san, how's the recovery going?

You can try vimeo, it seems to have HD support, not sure about the size limits (compressing videos actually does come in handy).

Good luck!

Excellent news, I am so happy for you. So many amazing thing can happen in life.
Too bad we cant see the exam but I am sure we will be all with you in spirit.
Im always hoping to hear your hands might hurt and "killing" you but actually getting better and better, wish that for you.
Your investments are great, maybe soon you can even create an Andrew DVD or more...

Aww thanks maggie ^_^ It's nice to hear you're concerned! Yea, I'm really excited to be moving! I'm going to be in piano heaven. I'll learn SO much. I'll try and pass on as much as I can to you guys! sunny



Laughing Thomas, you're just BAD Razz I'm sure she didn't mean it like that! You're such a prankster aren't ya Wink Btw I'm really impressed by the progress you're making! Angela was telling me that she was going to play something for you, so I'll be recording her ^_^ she just has to get it ready since she was on vacation. Hopefully it'll be up in a few weeks ^_^ but that's up to her! Anyway I'll be shooting new videos as soon as my camera gets here. Should be here tomorrow or early next week!


I went through the exam...it went OK my hands couldn't practise EVERYTHING I needed to practise pale (my exam was 50 minutes long) By the time I finished my arms felt like jello. but, the nightmare is OVER Sleep
