Best Decision Ever
This course put all the dots together and though I thought I was a bit too advanced for this course, I couldn't have been any more wrong, for one it took me a lot longer to master the content within the course than I first imagined but when I played that last song twinkle twinkle and read the notes and grooved along with the track, I felt the feeling of fulfillment that I was longing for when I picked up that book all those years ago and purchased a piano. Jonny really does have the perfect balance between theory, exercises, practice, practicality and fun!
This was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the songs and the exercises
A very nice first-steps-at-the-keyboard course
The course comprises of what one could expect of an encouraging introduction to the piano. On the one hand the exercises and played tunes get incrementally, yet manageably more difficult, on the other, one can see the point of practicing them (both from the point of view of individual technique and instant application in the tune played in a particular lesson).
Learned so much already
Surprised myself by my progress in a short time. Really appreciate Jonny’s encouragement and inspiring teaching style. Thank you
Thank you Jonny
I've been looking for years to find a comprehensive easy-to-follow course to learn the Piano.
I finally found the right course and the right teacher. :)

Learn the most important fundamentals for the Key of C Major with the scale, diatonic chords, common chord progressions, and inversions. Then put it all together with Jonny's Canon.
Learn the most important fundamentals for the Key of G Major with the scale, diatonic chords, and common chord progressions. Then put it all together with an original tune, "Jonny's Lullaby."
Learn the most important fundamentals for the Key of F Major with the scale, diatonic chords, and common chord progressions. Then put it all together with a groovy Latin tune "Jonny's Bamba."
