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

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.

I have listened to Yanni's music since I was a young student. Up to date, I still love Yanni's music and Yanni Orchestra!

I love this man and his music. Big fan for many years his music gives me chills !

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.

Finally!!! A true master, with a class. Thanks Yanni!!! It is always a pleasure hearing you play, and seeing your joy.

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.

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.

Να είσαι πάντα καλά, υγιής και να μας δίνεις πάντα επιτυχίες.

Yanni is such an amazing talent and humble guy. I love him and his music!

A legend indeed! I love how humble he is, despite being from another universe! Always loved his music 👍

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

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.

This is why I love Yanni very much....

Yanni was my hero back in the mid 90's!! I had his tapes and videos back then.

Wow Yanni! I love you, your music, your style, everything else! You're awesome!

Quantity has a quality of its own...... Love you Yanni... You are the master of all black-n-white keys🎹🎹🎹

Hey man very cool, idea here. I'm excited to watch them all. I'll be honest I don't listen to a ton of your music but I've heard enough to respect the amount of time and extra effort you put into providing this information for people like myself. It really opens to door to your creative process and causes my to think differently about the execution of some of my own creative projects

Hello Yanni, you are one of the best inspiration i ever seen, hope you coming to play in Sweden soon... 👍 Best Regards Nec.

Thank you Yanni 💕 and to everyone in your orchestra

Love you Yanni.. thank you for the valuable tip.. NO BASS on the 5th note!

More MASTER CLASS videos with your keyboards... please :)

Such an amazing down to earth guy.

Yanni you really play with soul, with spirit, I love your music, your music has touched me and help me in the hardest and saddest moments in my life. God bless you.

greatest musician I ever heard in my life. I like you so much.

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.

I heard one of my favourites while playing- reflections of passion.

aaaaaaaa…...made so much sense. Thanks Yanni for making music so dynamic. I love all the compositions, have been listening to them for over 20 years

Your 1994 concert made me cry that I have to go and learn Violin. Now I am good. All thanks to God who introduced me to your music. Thank to you too. Great Man. One question. You said your Grand Piano controlls the keyboards. Is it a Digital Grand Piano?

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 best......and 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 it.....a 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 etc".....and 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 SHINE.........that it was not all about you...............what a magnificent musician you are. I can't wait to buy your Acropolis again! Keri.

I've seen this video so many times and I find it interesting everytime I do.

Wow. Never knew how much work goes into making one song. Thanks for sharing.

legend

Great stuff Laurel.

Yanni is truly a talented and unique musician I have listening to his music all my life, every song tells a story all you have to do is close your eyes and listen. Thanks for the Masterclass!

YANNI YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND . NOBODY IS LIKE YOU DEAR YANNI. THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS LOVE YOU

Your style and brilliance make every move you make so enjoyable I really feel like I could learn more from your videos than of the other orchestra members masterclass videos. That's it - you should create a masterclass series of just your keyboard techniques and how you come about creating some of your "signature" sound patches - I would love for you to delve deeper into that type of masterclass video. BTW - thank you very much for these!!! Love your music and your talent. I was able to catch your show recently when you came to Panama City, FL at the Marina Civic Center. One of the highlights of my life for sure!!!

He seems like a cool guy... Thanks.

Wow! Love to you Yanni! Glad you explained that. 💜🙏💖

Dear YANNI, You are a real genius! Your music is absolutely global; it touches the hearts before the ears. It's like an ever-flowing river that sparkles in front of thirsty audiences. Your fellow musicians are also champions of genuine art. Many, many thanks for making us all happy with your masterpieces, sir Yanni Maestro!

LOVE your Master classes, Yanni.

The best musician of the world and lots of love yanni from INDIA ur biggest fan.(CHETAN)

Yanni....years ago not only did I play a lot of your music...but I taught it as well to my students...Reflections Of Passion album got me hooked...

You are amazing Yanni,I love your music and hope to see you in 2020.

Yanni's 7:14 minutes video= something can never be found in bollywood 's current musicians combined..salute🙏

OH MY GOD!

Amazing yanni! Ever since i first heard your music when i was a kid many years ago thanks to my mom when live at the acropolis came out, i was captivated by your music and unique sound. Im amazed by how incredible and inspiring your music is. thank you so much for making these videos. I enjoy them very much.

Wow!!! amazing, never even imagined this much you know and have implemented to your keyboards all together. You are the Masters.

He describes his sound at about 5:40 that is programed for his style of playing, also earlier the movement from the shoulder he has developed speed and velocity for that instrument. I understand his duplication on the synths due to same language and programing controls, LFOs, Envelopes, EQ, Effects, etc to get that layered sound which is full. Developing your sound is critical and its yours. He understands his synths and has mastered them, I'm still working on it.

the best musician keyboard

Always wonderful to see Yanni.

A friend of mine put on the Live at the Acropolis CD, the other night, and It was amazing. Not only is Yanni an incredible musician, so are all of the people that he brings into his band. As a kid, growing up in the 90s, I was taught (by whomever or whatever) to believe that Yanni wasn't "hip" and now, 20 years later I understand from being a musician for most of my life and listening to a lot of different kinds of music, what's "hip" is playing the music you want to play and doing it with absolute passion.

I like how he links them and changes the patch on all of them with the click of a button, must be a custom built footswitch

YANNI GREAT STUFF LOVED THE SOUNDS AND YOUR TALENT!!!!!! I WISH I COULD DISLIKE THE 250 PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T LIKE IT. SMH

I LOVE ALL THE MUSIC COMPOSED BY YANN. BEEN LISTENING OF HIS MUSIC EVERSINCE TILL NOW.

Clap clap clap. The master himself teaching us some techniques. Bravo Yanni, greetings from Uruguay.

This is great! I like the charisma, and the sounds! Unfortunately I can't afford 50 keyboards at this moment in evolution.

Genius..👏👏👏👁️👍👍👏👏🙏🤝

We love you, Yanni. You are master of music; you play to our soul.

God Bless You Sir Yanni! I grew up listening to your music and I hope the same music is playing when its my time to go!

It would be cool to see Yanni do an actual programming master class to show everyone how he actually programs an ENTIRE sound patch like his guitar/dulcimer sound patch using his master/slave keyboard setup! Dear Yanni, is this something you might consider as the subject of one of your future master classes? That would be awesome! I have always wondered how you sampled/programmed that particular sound. I think I read in an article back in the 1990s that you sampled a bouzoki or something like that to layer it in your programming-- any truth to this? That would be awesome to see how you do such a thing-- especially now that you have been able to create that redundancy for all your performance keyboards whether yours or Ming Freeman's-- the duplicity you speak of for productions like yours, I can see how necessary that is to make sure things go smoothly. Did you have a similar arrangement back in the 1990s for your Acropolis concerts and era tours for Bradley Joseph's and Julie Homi's keyboards?

When I was 15 I met Yanni's songs, today I'm 40 and Yanni still has the same face 25 years ago. What's the secret of his youth?

Yanni you are a very special person!!! I love your song ❤️ Please, come Back to Porto Alegre Brasil 🇧🇷

More sessions like these pls. Loved it

6:12 E.L.P. i liked the reference or maybe the inspiration...

Awesome! But I could use a little more cowbell.

Impressive to hear the performances and even more impressive to learn about instrument set up

Yanni you and your orchestra are the best ever . I have listened to you for years you are awesome 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

My poodle is named after Yanni. I was very taken with Yanni at the Acropolis when I first learned of him! My husband uses keyboards, but I know nothing about them.

I could have watched weeks for how he does this all.

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!

Amazing and beautiful Yanni... Thanks for sharing it with us Master

Yanni! YOU are so ORIGINAL - this is what makes U great! NO one in the world can beat your piano techniques! We shall make a TRIBUTE to U and EP! U will enjoy it , and the world! ETsonggalaxy U.S.A.

My wife won a competition to see him at The Royal Albert Hall in London , all expenses paid with a Royal Box and lots of champagne and beer, we had been drinking all day, at the end of the concert we were special guests backstage in the VIP area, I could hardly stand we were told he was coming to meet us with his then wife Linda Evans , as he came through the door I took a last gulf of my pint and because I was so drunk virtually poured it over my own head, the couple and my wife who I was with didn't notice me because we were lined up in a row with me on the end, they shook hands with everyone and when it came to me I had beer dripping off the end of my nose with a cheesy grin, i meant to say I love your music, but I just said I love you!! Slurred.. I do remember the music which is credit to his art, but that night I probably wouldn't of recognised my own mother if she introduced herself....

Genius and original! Thanks for let us know the way you perform the keyboards!!

wow! Yanni, you have inspired me over the years and am grateful because practicing with your audio and video has really increase my stills on the piano.
