Orientation Course

I have used other piano training websites in the past, but this one just blows me away! I enjoy the interactivity and how easy it is to navigate. Also great to even have a video explaining all of this so I know where to go

Great breakdown of the website, helps someone who may be new to online learning and self teaching be at ease. I was concerned I'd be overwhelmed with information and that I wouldn't be able to actually learn given my experience as a kid with music teachers who couldn't work with me because me playing by ear would override the lessons. (I would learn how to play after hearing it, but could never correlate the lessons into theory)

As a new student, I find the orientation course is very helpful for understanding how the website is structured.

I will make a note about the assessment that is used for onboarding. The classification for beginner and intermediate (or even advanced) can be difficult to gauge for various reasons: some people may have high self-esteem or low-esteem (well not much can be done to check for that but I note for completeness), also basically knowledge or experience of major 7th chords and dominant chords seem sufficient to warrant "intermediate" self rating. Well, one can know some music theory, have played and recognized in many pieces and yet the "intermediate" rating might be too high. When I joined, I checked "intermediate" since I also took a number of grades in classical schooling without really understanding what is entailed. Now, after two years of membership, it is quite clear that I am "beginner" and I am perfectly fine with that; it is clear in good parts because in some lessons or workshops I hear concrete examples from Jonny May about a certain type of playing that an intermediate player would be expected to be able to do and in those comments it is clear that it is above my pay grade! So, I'd advise new members who are in doubt between "beginner" and "intermediate" to rank "beginner" and if in doubt between "intermediate" and "advanced" select "intermediate" and if you get bored with the material of that conservative level, by all means move up.

Congrats both for the idea and for the way it has been achieved.
