Hello, and I know you probably won’t see this, but I was given a video of you thanking your listeners on Spotify, and you don’t know how much you have saved me with your music my entire school year already. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do, and just keep on doing you. Peace out, a sophomore that does not wanna go to school today.

man i fucking love you, what other achieved successful musician takes time out of their day to make step by step beginner tutorials for their pieces?

[jordanberthelot]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are a true artist, combining talent and heart.

I've had a keyboard gathering dust in my garage for about two years and I decided to pick it up again about a week ago. I'm starting from the absolute bottom, being a complete beginner and in THREE hours of practice I have been able to play this with both hands; something I've never been able to do before. Thank you for this beautiful song and amazing tutorial Patrick!

[Goofypoof]

Not only does he compose amazing pieces but he also sympathetic asf

[michaelsmiley]

His advice to take it slowly and focus intently on just the little areas you find difficult is worth its weight in gold! Most people just mindlessly bang it out over and over and develop bad habits. It takes a diligent person to actually follow his advice and realize the benefits.

These tutorials are exceptional ❤ and now that I know the song is about Vivian Maier I’m transported to her astonishing photo exhibition and this will forever be the soundtrack. I will endeavour to learn this slowly and accurately 🎹🤓🥰

One of my students mentioned about your works, and I’m grateful that she did! As well as you’re a true artist, energy, and musicianship easily as felt through the Internet universe! Looking forward to listening to more of your creations. Yours truly pixel pal Jim.

Dear Sir, this song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and one of the best Inspirations to learn to play. Thank you very much for this song

Mr watson, thank you for Tutorials and for your fantastic songs .I started playing piano after 6 years and i start with playing Je te laisserai des mots. your songs are like drugs and make me high ... best wishes for you

[fcriab]

Wow I just woke up from a dream where I was playing this on my keyboard but the right hand part only. It took me a sec to remember what the song was called because I had put it on a playlist with bach and Mozart, and totally thought you were also an artist from the 18th century. What a trip that you’re alive and have a YouTube channel. Anyway thanks for inspiring me to plug my keyboard back in I will practice this now :)

20 year guitar player here, and finally committed to learning piano. I frame houses in Toronto, and have to explain to the junior boys similar to how you break down the process that less experienced players can comprehend.

Wow I found a new favorite composer!! Reminds me indeed Satie and also some Tiersen pieces -
please do more songs like this!!! there is so much beauty in this minimalistic style. The pure melodies. Not overcomplicated. Beauty is in simplicity - showing the essence of things, stripping everything else.
