Most Recent Review

I have some basic piano knowledge so the course was too simple for me. I think though if you come in with no prior knowledge it could be a good course for you. Some of the lessons seemed a little quick though if it was my first time but I guess you could just watch it over again. The instructor was clear and presented information well. Being able to see what he was playing on the piano was helpful.
