A creative way to teach
Even though its a beginner course, it's nice to introduce the different styles
Challenging and refreching
I'm a very slow piano student with stiff fingers on my left hand (70 years old), but I really enjoy this courses , it's a kind of relaxing way to study but I'm making some progress. The teachers are very stimulating, I like their way of making things clear.
Challenging
My first online course was impressive
fun
very nice
Perfect starting point
Amazing, how Jonny explains the basics, Top Job!
