We actually met randomly on youtube. I really loved his idea of posting videos to help out beginner pianists, and I decided to contact him since I'm a pianist as well (except I'm not as good as him, yet) and from there our friendship just clicked. We began to converse over MSN and he told me that he was about to launch his own website that will have a forum dedicated to piano, including a community for people to converse, and I thought that it would be a great idea to help him out as much as I can.

Hopefully one day as soon as I get my license in about a month, I told him that I'll try driving down to BC and have a great time hangin' around with him. I live in Toronto, Canada. It's pretty far away from his province, but it'd be nice to have a ride down there since I haven't been there before.

wow thats quite interesting! if i can do that. i prob wud.. but driving there.. wunt that b sum burning in ur pocket for gas? =]
its great that ur helpin him out too

Yeah, it's pretty far. But honestly, I'd love to go down there because Toronto's almost exactly like New York (we're around 5-6 hours away from NY), and I'd love to go somewhere new for a change. Canada can be a beautiful place.

Itd b nyce to go on a roadtrip and not worry about gas money or money for a change u know.. i've been to Toronto many times when i was younger with my family. we stayed near chinatown? huzah so i can enjoy the fruits and food! mm

Yeah, it'd be awesome to not worry about gas money while going on a road trip. You've been to china town before? Cool! It's pretty cool down there. I can agree with you about the food and fruitys, haha.

Wooow guys u want to break a new world record in chaining the answers I need to join that effort.

I am not that old friend of Andrew like Jordan is.
But I consider myself friends with you guys (hope it is not offending for anyone me thinking about all of you as friends)... so anyway I thought someday it would be fun to meet with Andrew and some of those who maybe can do it... well not in the very near future...
Hopefully we will keep in touch and a little while have a forum meeting or is it a frightening thought to reveal the real person?
In the good old times I had some IRC meetings
(it was before the time of the messengers )
It was always interesting to see our group and we all know how Andrew looks like ... maybe he would be a little curious about us...
Ok ok I stop rambling... it is already 1:30 am here

Actually, that'd be a great idea. Meeting new people has always been interesting to me.

Wow, this is a long chat we've got going here! I think i'll join in!

I actually think that'd be really fun! maybe we could set up a meeting for 2009 or something ^_^ by then there might be enough people who show up to make it a real party! I'd LOVE to meet you guys, i'm curious to see the people who watch me i guess you could say it's strange talking to people who know what i look like and how i act, when i know next to nothing about them. Although, I have to say, it's not as weird as it once was and I am getting pretty used to it. It would still be amazing to have a get together one day! maybe even make it an annual event! Should i dare dream?

My name is Genesis but I prefer to be called Geny.
Hehe.. Well I'm from Costa Rica and I'm 13. I just started playing piano 1 month ago. This is my first post. Yay!
I wanted to play for a long time and now I'm glad that I can. I just learned Fur Elise ^_^ well only the parts that Andrew has on his video.
I really like this site and I kind of come around every day to watch other posts.
Bye! Take care!!!
Love, Geny

Glad to see you around, I really like your name I hope the first post is only a good start we are curious about your ideas, plans whichever you would like to share.
Have a nice day, Maggie

Welcome Hope you enjoy your time here on the forum

My name is David. Im 18 years old , Live in Sweden of all places. not much wrong with it though . I am dyslectic, so i have a hard time learning things i read, So the videos i watched was a great for me. My parents wanted me to play the piano and become a successful pianist, But that dram of theirs shattered at the age of 8 (my age that is) And now I found the wonder of the piano once more. I want to be able to play the piano to my girlfriend and for my self. Music for me is relaxing.... until I get frustrated due to failures. I one day want to make my own piano , well not the whole thing but parts of it. I like working with wood making things for me and for others. Hey maby the things i do will get famous ^^. Ok now pulling head out of arse for a minute
I am a somewhat musical failure But i hope this will help me along the way of playing the piano and not being ashamed. Ill keep posting on the forums, asking for help reassurance and general advice thank you.

Hey there! =) Well, I guess even though you are, as you say "musical failure" there is hope that you can play piano at a very deacent level. It isnt allway ones goal to play the worlds hardest composition! So I how you enkoy tyour stay, and feel fre to ask welcome

A little fact:

Dyslectic people who plays instruments get better at reading and stuff.
