i love how you beautifully combined all the elements of tension and release as you got towards the end, the last bit of playing was so nice to hear! im not even a piano player or listen to classical music for the most part but it was such a great demonstration that i feel like i have a better understanding of what to listen to when i tell a story through music. thank you very much for this video!

I am very much a beginner on the piano, have been playing guitar for years. I can't seem to figure out how you know which notes to add when you're making a song 'more interesting'. Like when you increased the rythmic activity, all these other notes were added. How do you know what to play?

An important and simple concept to talk about. And what makes it even simpler is the clarity of your womderful explanation!!
That's why I ask you if you may explain the Chromatic Mediant (modulation) please. Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your work! But we didn-t say the main thing. Each time you used a change in the pitch of the melody to create a climax, but did not say the wrong words. I think this is the most important thing.

Thanks so much for these courses, youve been making my life much easier!!
You teach in another language from my native one, but i found your tutorials miles better than others..
Keep up that good work!

The way you manage to talk out loud so clearly while playing those complex chords is mesmerising Gareth - you're an exceptional musician and teacher!

I love your videos!! Thanks so much!!
I'm having trouble understanding phrases, cadences, and their application if you have any videos on that....

This is underrated! Dude just flawlessly sung me a clean tutorial while also playing the tutorial on the piano in real time, unedited.. =O

When you are playing something, do you practice it before hand and write it out? Or do you just make it up on the spot? Love your videos :)

Oh my god are you just improvising those demonstrations? AND talking over the top of it explaining what you're doing? Incredible!
