Hey Zach, I just started learning piano, my first musical instrument, age 68, and have been using your tip sheets and early lessons daily for the last four weeks. Today I was finally able to play the C-Major scale hands-together, pretty decently. I have a long long way to go to my goal of serious hobbyist but wanted to thank you for what you are doing and providing to the community. It is too early to get involved in your for-pay lessons, but I can see real progress and now know that I can eventually make use of your next level lessons. PS: I am learning guitar at the same time -- just started two weeks ago and am still in the "spider walk" stage to develop calluses on my finger tips.

Zach I LOVE your lessons and have purchased a few courses.
The BEST video far is the Bet that I can play Jazz. I would love to have you do more of the progressions where I can improvise over. I think that video has PROPELLED my "fun time" playing after I work on scales and other drills.
Thanks for the variety of videos.🥰❤️

Zack I love your painless lessons! while chords light up and when you call out EACH letters with out going fast I cannot ever go wrong!

[Bavubuka]

Hi Zach, could you please do a video for beginners on how to learn/drill/practice a new song step by step? I've been enjoying your drills on how to practice scales and have been going through your 12 week program but when it comes to learning a new song I get stuck on how to practice/drill the keys and chords and how to progress through the song parts. Could you do a super simplified, broken down step by step process of how a beginner can go about starting to learn a new song and how to get the bits down and progress through the whole thing and lock it into muscle memory? Sorry for the long explanation, I just haven't seen anyone on youtube show this in anyway remotely easy for beginners and I figured you'd be the guy to help us :-)

[aletamercado]

I love this videoI just learned 3 songs

[olagokeadewusi]

there are like 28 lessons on this page, if you practice one a day, for a month you will be a maestro...it really helped me

[diamondraven]

Your on point with teaching beginners Thank You 🙌🏽
