I have had so much fun over these last several days reading all of your wonderful posts…they have truly touched me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Selecting these three winners has certainly been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in the last 12 years of being online with LearnPianoOnline.
Hundreds of you poured your heart and soul into your responses on the blog (and in email) and really took time to answer my four questions. Thank you for honest and heartfelt answers.
So without further delay, here are the three Holiday Contest Winners:
First Place goes to: Steve Andrews
(Comment #47 on “Two More Prizes Added” Blog Post)
Second Place goes to: Tracy Nishibun
(Comment #51 on “Two More Prizes Added” Blog Post)
Third Place goes to:Brittiny Burt
(Comment #103 on “My Happy Holiday Surprise” Blog Post)
Your comments have inspired me and I sincerely want YOU to learn and feel the true joy of playing the piano. Nothing can spread joy and love like the happiness of playing beautiful music. …and I know that every single one of you have the ability to play the piano and share your gift with the world.
Happy Holidays!
Lisa ~smile~

Your response to Happy Holiday contest has been overwhelming to say the least. Tears, smiles and every emotion in between has been touched deep within me and I am only a quarter through your entries. This is going to be a hard task. With such an overwhelming response, I am not able to read through everyone’s entry in the time frame I gave myself. I am still going through them, and as we approach Christmas Eve, I am going to have to take a little break, spend time with the family and continue reading your heartfelt entries later.
With that said, I will do my very best to get the winners announced either very late tonight, or early tomorrow morning. I apologize for this delay, and at the same time appreciate you all for participating whole-heartedly in this Holiday Contest.
Talk to you soon!

First of all, let me say Thank You!
I have been so amazed at all of the incredible posts and stories I’ve read over the last several days. Thank you so much for all your wonderful responses to my Happy Holiday Contest- I have loved hearing from all of you! ~smile~
Because of the incredible number of responses, I wanted to show my appreciation to all of you and give out two more “piano playing surprises.” This means that I’ll be giving out a total of three prizes to three lucky aspiring pianists.
All you have to do is answer the following four questions and submit your comments to this post (or the previous My Happy Holiday Surprise post). The four questions are:
1) What is the main challenge holding you back from playing the piano?
2) What are the other obstacles keeping you from playing the piano like you’ve always dreamed?
3) What song or type of music have you always wanted to play?
4) What are the three greatest benefits you’ll enjoy from playing the piano?
Remember, the three people who answer the questions the best (judged by me) will win. The winners will be someone who answer the four questions completely and understands most -the joy piano playing can bring to your life. And don’t worry you can still win even if you’ve never played ~smile~
So what are the TWO NEW prizes?
The TWO ADDITIONAL prize winners will BOTH receive:
• One entire year of access tomy acclaimed World’s Favorite Online Piano Lessons, called PremiumPiano, with simple to follow instructions and amazing piano teacher support…AND
• A complimentary spot on my new 4 week teleseminar designed to kick-start your piano playing and get you playing your favorite songs in record time.
And don’t forget that the first place prize winner will receive:
• A full ride 1 year scholarship to my new online piano academy program, PianoPlus with the SuperSupportSystem. This revolutionary training and support system is designed to give you all the support you need to accomplish your piano playing dreams.
• One entire year’s worth of lessons using my acclaimed World’s Favorite Online Piano Lessons with simple to follow instructions and amazing piano teacher support.
• A complimentary spot on my new 4 week teleseminar designed to kick-start your piano playing and get you playing your favorite songs in record time.
So if you haven’t already submitted your response, act quickly because the contest ends on Tuesday, December 23 at midnight.
And I’ll be announcing the winner on Wednesday, December 24 as soon as I finish reading every last entry submitted.
Thank you and if you haven’t submitted your entry please do because I would love to hear from you!
Happy Playing,
Lisa

If you noticed, I do a lot of my thinking at night, which means, I don’t sleep much!
I get a lot of emails from students who would like to share their thoughts with others, so I thought I would make a new category here on my blog to let my students post to each other! ~smile~
Some of you don’t know how to use a blog and so here is how. Go to the top of this article, and you will see a little link called comments… go there and post a comment. Yep! It’s that easy.
It will be fun to see what students have to say to each other!
Talk to you soon!
Lisa
