Your lessons are not only piano lessons, they're music lessons and life lessons. Thank you for that!

[katewebster]

I like the encouragement to engage directly with the instrument. When I hear a song that moves me, I don't have to read it's notes on a sheet to hear and feel it. The thing I uncovered with starting to improvise was how directly I experienced and felt the sounds. Great tute. Thank you Tom.

I love improvising but Ive reached a dead end. I have never seen it explained in this way. Reading sheet music becomes frustrating as I am not a fluent reader. So watching that video has made me feel like I am on the right track. I didnt realise my improv was neo classical. I do want to play blues n jazz sounds maybe and pop of course. I think the course would be helpful to free me up a bit and to make it feel at least possible for me to play my fave styles of music as covers or interpreting or creating. Thankyou so much for your relaxed attitude. It took me a long while to ween myself off sheet music n just a let myself play anything. Now I want to play more of anything because I can learn the how to here. This is great. Thankyou Tom.
I will def consider signing up for further study. Attitude to playing now feels a lot less strained. Thankyou vvv much. I have hope my playing can improve without the pressure of a weekly teacher. 🎉Hooray! Nice. Looking forward to it.

I enjoyed this immensely and learned so much. Even at my beginner level, I never feel truly relaxed and free unless simply improvising and allowing a free flow of creativity and expression. This video was a reminder. Letting us know that your left hand had slipped, that this happens to the best, and how to respond, completely disintegrated any teacher/pupil barrier and created trust and a bonding. Thank you.

[nancydoyle]

so very encouraging ! thank you. love your open, generous work!

[edgarsnake]

Very nice, practical, useful, musical, expanding...I could go on. Thanks, Tom. You may break me out of my confining patterns, yet.

This young man is very much down to earth. The Best Advice ever. We all tend to make things difficult, with rules, and regulations. This tends to take the pleasure of learning music out of the picture. (Open your hearts and Minds.)

That last third of this video with that left hand pattern and the right oxtaves was fantastic

[aipossas]

Thanks Tom!! Tottaly recomend him. The last exercise is gold!

[dennyps]

A truly masterful way of taking the laborious job of practicing scales and turning it into a fun exercise.

[chazzitz-whly]

Messed around with a piano over the years, but learned major chords the other day and have been practicing those as a base to build my learning. I found someone who was able to tell me them in a way a musically illiterate person can know and i prove with them whenever I practice. It makes learning and practice fun removing the rigidity out of the tedium.

[alongkornchutinan]

Your teaching are so intuitive. This video is really eye-opening and changes my view about improvization.❤

[jeffjohnson]

This was a great lesson and a eye opener to how beneficial knowing scales and how to apply to improvisational ideas…would love to see this type of thing with a Slow blues and Jazz improv with pulsating left hand rhythms etc…with some scale patterns and licks❤🎹🎶…thanks Grant

[sindencollier]

Absolutely brilliant! I love improvising albeit a late beginner/early intermediate adult returner; but you have definitely given me more to incorporate into my journey. I am very lucky to already know all scales and relative minors so now I will further my piano joy ride! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[sindencollier]

Do you also have a tutorial on "The Rule of the Octave." I find your explanations and samples so clear. Thank you.

[georgemaloney]

Great motivating class. Helps to "loosen us up" on the keyboard. Thanks

[andrewwatts]

Brilliant ways letting yourself go 🎹 🎶🎵

[msgingerjourney]

Yep, so many piano students, like me, are stuck reading the page. I'm working my way away from that. It's fun moving around the chords. Thank you for this video🎉

[gabrijeltravel]

Dear Tom Donald, I am more than glad that you are sharing your music and piano knowledge with us.
You enabled me to elevate my understanding of playing the piano and I wanna thank your for that!

Excellent video again!

[paulbirtwisle]

This is an interesting exercise which I will try to use. I have received your intro pack thank you. I have not played the piano or anything since July 2023 following a severe disablement The offending disc has been removed from my neck but progress is very slow. I am trying to find something that will help me to feel the piano under my hands again gently and progressively
