Very good course in basic piano. Easy to follow. Not pretentious or intimidating. Get's you playing simple songs straight away so you feel motivated. Downloadable course materials could be better organised.

It’s very well explained. He really took his time to make people understand his method when he approached it. Excellent teacher. And thank you!

I couldn't think of a better way to get started. They way he starts treating his audience as novice and explains stuff slow and steady, is exactly what made me opt for this course after looking at the free samples. I hope, I can finally get back to the Piano/Keyboard after so many failed attempts.

Very basic piano course, the instructor does a good job indeed, quite detailed and practice focused, I've been playing keyboard for a while with Piano for All, which is also an great course. This one focus more on the building blocks of music knowledge.. Highly recommend it.

Very easy to follow and well paced. Excellent refresher with all the basics needed. Good value for money! I loved everything about the course.

I learned a lot from the course. I have been trying to learn how to play the piano since in the early 80's. I kept taking lessons and stopping and starting so now I am well on my way, I sit down and pushed myself to finish this time and I did. now all I have to do is apply everything I learned and practice very hard and I should be able to play gospel songs and praise and worship songs. the first song I want to learn how to play is Lord do it for me by H. Walker. I am so excited. I thought the instructor was very good he knew his music and he knew just what to teach you so you could learn how to play the piano in a hurry. thank you for the opportunity to take this course. I am very confident that I will be playing at church very soon.

Explains well, good picture of hands and key play, not too fast like some are for a beginner. Would like home work and practice sessions written out with finger and key explnations

I think its an excellent course...I have tried others in the past...they were too long, boring and confusing. I have started and stopped many times in my attempts to learn panio...but this course have caught my attention...and I look forward to playing the panio.

This course is really relevant to me. I bought my Casio keyboard yesterday and I'm so excited to learn. This course will help me progress in my learning as a beginner to professional someday. This course is really good with a generous price offer. Thanks a lot!!!

A great lesson it is! The only don side is the quality of the videos. There is too much interruption which steals one's concentration. An improvement on this would make it a masterpiece.
