    Christian, greetings from the U.S.! This video is absolutely amazing. I love the way that you give the notes you want us to pay attention to so much character as you describe what you're doing. This is incredibly helpful to me as a beginning piano player! Cheers!

    I know that music is all about making the listener feel something. I suppose it's the same with any art, be it oil painting, ballet or what have you. The mathematics of musical theory have always been readily available (intervals, triads, inversions, etc., but what is the strategy for creating the emotion you want your audience to feel? Christian is wonderful about explaining the tactics of achieving this. And his whimsical sense of humor makes the lessons stick. I really enjoy learning from this nice fellow. Thank you, Christian.

    My jazz piano teacher is starting me off on blues improvisation using the Minor blues scale and the major blues scale. Because I'm very new at it, I'm finding that the hardest part for me right now is keeping track of what measure I'm in while I'm improvising. So trying to keep 4/4 time by keeping four beats to the measure and not accidentally 5! I'm trying to use the chords in my left hand to help with that, but it's like multitasking for me. With practice I'm sure it will get easier.
