Increased my understanding and intuition for music

I love the way that it’s build with layer on layer, the instructions are clear and the methods makes you grow faster than any other method I’ve tried before. Still have a long way to go, though… I also love the clear and well written lesson sheets!

Great stuff

but never seems to have the rhythm you have. I think I incapable of your awesome rhythms or grooves. Do you have courses on just piano rhythm and grooves? ; )

Simple, fun and clear

I appreciated so much the course because I especially like the way of teaching. Even though I played piano for several years I was looking for something that gives the sparkle to start learning again to play. With clear concepts and an effective way to progress. Thanks Jonny!

Thorough and inspiring.

Jonny has a way of presenting intricate information in a very clear, thorough, thoughtful manner. I always love to hear him "go off" in the style he is presenting at the end of the chart.
