A little better.

But you're not showing how to position hands properly. From what I've gathered I'm suppose to stab at my piano?

Anyway, the song choice was fine. You're catering for amateurs here so we're not going to be whipping out Einaudi anytime soon. Just try and make it a little more interactive.

up-a-notch responds:

well you are sapost to put you fingers like Mr.burns while playing. And I will

Much better.

It's great to see the improvement in this flash, it shows that you have enhanced your flash abilities in a short amount of time. I like how the interactive examples were much more clear, like how the fingers moved in sync with the song, it is that kind of help that will affect all users and teach them in a much more efficient way. I definately learned more from this flash than I did from the other two, bravo my good man.

It's funny, I learned how to play Hot Cross Buns on my recorder in elementary school, I just remembered that when the song started playing. The multiple audio files also directed the viewer to learn more. It still looks bland overall, but it surely is an improvement from the others. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing the future episodes of this series.

up-a-notch responds:

thank you

Future Direction

I like what you are doing. I played piano for a long time and this is pretty solid for a flash that teaches you introductory skills. I think a really cool idea for future videos would be to explain chords and music theory. That is something I really wish I had developed a better understanding of.

up-a-notch responds:

Yeah I don't completely understand that to, but next tut will explain a lot more
