Hello, I'm a pianist. I've posted a few videos of myself playing piano, as well as a few other various things including a set of lessons. I'll be adding more video's as I learn new songs and uploading one lesson every week or so for those of you who want to learn to play piano. Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy everything. Good Luck practicing!


My philosophy for teaching here is:
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day,

Teach a man HOW to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

I'm focused on teaching you how to play for yourself. Not teach you to copy what I've learn. You're not a parrot so why should people treat you like one?

In saying that, I don't do requests for how to play this song or that song, but if you want to know something about music/piano, or how something works PLEASE let me know!

Please though, before you ask any questions, look though my videos first, and if I haven't covered something you want to know about then ask away! ^_^ thanks! Enjoy!!!
Name: Andrew
Age: 21
I like to have fun, things should be simple not complicated, life is already complicated enough!

I've been playing piano for over 15 years, I started when I was 5 years old. I love to teach and to talk, I'm definitely a people person.

As you can probably see I'm a skinny white guy, I've got spiky hair, i'm 6'1'' and I weight just 130 lbs.

I live in Northern British Columbia, and I LOVE hockey and ice skating, I used to coach hockey for kids aged 5-12, and I taught many skating lessons around the city, which actually got me started in teaching, then I just took my knowledge of the piano and POOF! I became a piano teacher and I haven't looked back since!



On feb 17th 2008 i got my first channel honours!

Andrew Furmanczyk's Youtube Music Academy, How to Play Piano
I'm just a regular guy, who enjoys helping people out. I've been playing piano and studying music since I was 5 years old, and I am currently a Piano Teacher in real life, I have about 30 students in my studio. I wanted to make this series to help people who want to learn piano, but can't afford or don't have access to a teacher. I'm a pretty easy going guy, so hopefully you'll be entertained!

Happy Practising!
