Check out what these folks are saying...
You're really likable and relatable. You're talking to me, not down to me. The course is organized in very short sections, so I won't be afraid to tackle one small piece at a time. Your lighting is good, your sound is good, and the way you show what you're doing on the keyboard is really good.
