Fun course.
Great course. I am going back to the basics. I need to fill in a lot of holes in my playing. This is helping me improve. Thank you.
challenging, satisfying
It was easy to follow and progressed at a good rate which kept it interesting and satisfying. Didn't take many lessons before I could play real music.
Great Foundation
Even though I played piano (classical) as a child I did not learn the foundations that this course is teaching me. Great way to get back into piano and this time with far greater understanding. Looking forward to using this foundation to learn different styles!
Hard but very motivating beginning
I liked clear explanations of the teachers Support documentation is excellent Graduation of difficulties is very nice
Fun but challenging for early beginner level
It was a wonderful experience. The lessons were informative, engaging, and a lot fun! The instructor clearly put a lot of thought into the content, making it enjoyable and motivating for students. However, I did find that the tempo of the course felt a bit high for the level it's intended for—early beginners. Backing tracks, while great in concept, were too fast for someone just starting out. Slowing these down would allow students to feel more confident practicing along with them. While the course is marketed for early beginners, some parts can feel intimidating or even discouraging at times. A bit more gradual pacing and support in certain areas could make this course a lot more beginner-friendly.
