A Great Musician. A Great Influencer. A Great Human Being - One & only YANNI ❤️

[BenA-bucz]

Here is a man who loves his music and loves to share his art with the world and we thank him for it.
Have a great time in your concert tonight in McAllen, TX

I love these behind the scenes videos.
It gives so much information as to WHY I love this music so much.
I didn't know it was 5 keyboards at once. It's why Yanni's sound is so distinct.
He is truly a master musician at knowing the technical aspects of his instruments as well as the creativity of a brilliant composer.

Yanni: *has 50 keyboards*
Me: *has one keyboard duplicated 50 times in a track stack in my DAW*

But that's why people come from around the world to see Yanni, and the only person that comes to see me is my mom.
Until she abandoned me for Yanni.

Grew up loving synths in the 80s, 90s and 00s... bred to think Yanni was ultra-cheesy. Was fun to poke at a New Age artist who's kind of a heart-throb with a big mustache who puts himself on almost every album cover.

How things have changed! Yanni, you are a badass & this master class series is an amazing glimpse into your world. You have a new fan.

As a Music Photographer for the past 20 years I've been to numerous shows from every genre you can imagine and I can honestly say that the shows Yanni presents are some of the best!
I feel privileged to have been witness to some of the best musicians assembled and I'm grateful to Yanni for giving all of us the opportunity to experience them!

The first time I heard you, I was completely hooked with you as an artist and composer. Your heart is very big and the interaction with the people who love you all over the world. Which is the reason I have so much respect for you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It's a honor to have you teach here with all your fame and busy schedules. Your training classes would Redefine music in totality; we would be having your rebirth in them, like a clone. Permit me to say that some of your students would influence the totality of music in the world. Thank you sir, my family and i, friends and many that I know love your music. You are a living legend of our time. Thank you sir.

A joyful spirit and why not? He's living his life doing what he loves - and it shows. Love the video. Now I need to learn more about these synths.

[vkindore]

Yanni, you are the reason I chose playing keyboards. you are an inspiration to many like me.. your music is heavenly !!!

[SPL-]

Please do more videos with your keyboards. We love them!

[smoothstate]

It's all about MIDI. Invented in early 80's and still remains the only interface to make digital instruments "understand" each other. Respect to Yanni. Greetings from Ukraine

Hearing how you do the keyboard is magnificent. My CDs of Yanni were stolen so I now have to replace them. My favorite is Yanni at the Acropolis..his best of the Yanni, in case you are one day reading this...years ago after I saw your Acropolis on TV...I moved to England for 3 yrs...during that time I had bought a cassette walkman at John Lewis Store in London and I filled out a small card after buying week later, I got a call from someone in London asking me "Would you like to come to London, give your opinion about Yanni's Acropolis I did....I was picked up in a taxi, taken to that little office, fed a sandwich, wine and a candy bar (and paid cash) and enjoyed your video!...then I was asked questions and gave them my real opinions....there was 6 of us..Those questions had to do with your future near visit and they wanted to know which parts of the video music I liked best and why. My basic answer was ROMANCE AND...YOU ALLOWED EACH MUSICIAN TO it was not all about a magnificent musician you are. I can't wait to buy your Acropolis again! Keri.

The expertise,  the reality enjoyment of hearing this man explaining and soul of the music, I do not know what I am talking but I am so happy listening this man.
