This is no course to LEARN piano. Essentials are totally missing. Only a guy talking through a song played on piano. YouTube is full of these tutorials. But this is not teaching, hitting some keys on the piano is not "piano playing" neither learning piano. Worst course ever on Udemy.

Im enjoying learning,I have some knowledge but you added things I didnt know. MY boy is learning piano with a teacher and Im hoping to learn myself but also to help him

I contacted the instructor 20 days ago needing help with certain aspect of the course but no response. I have abandoned the course for another course that I find very helpful and interactive.

I love that you assume that we know nothing. I know a little tiny bit ( due to having attempted to learning via printed courses) but it is good to know that a person entirely new to piano can have everything properly covered by this course.

David Brogan has a pleasing voice to listen to and his method is great for beginners. Slow enough to practice correctly. My favorite composition in this class is Gymopedie by Eric Satie. Thank You!

The explanation is clear ad concise.I have been trying to learn to play the piano but the explanation given me previously has been very roundabout. No so with this teacher.

Very understandable. There's no confusion. Clear, easy yet precise. So far I'm pleased and encouraged!

I like that the instructor is giving some background as well as teaching the beginning of finding the notes.

i am still getting my mind trained to what it takes to understand Piano I am not there yet. i have to start #1 all over again before moving on

I already have knowledge of music, so this is the perfect course for me to learn the piano. My daughter got excited as well, and it helps me to teach her.

This course takes the approach of teaching the student to play actual songs on the piano from the start. It begins with very simple tunes and progresses gradually to increasingly complex well-known pieces. As the result, the student feels a sense of accomplishment with each more advanced lesson.

This course has material for beginners and intermediates. Well done and the downloads of the sheet music and other helps are great. The instructor answers questions in a timely matter. Thanks for an informative course.

Excellent course. Only started three months ago and I have already learned more than I expected. The production quality is excellent and more than met expectations. As a beginner the step by step method of teaching was easy to follow and I would highly recommend this course to any beginner.

For anyone like me who dropped out of piano lessons after a couple of years, this is much too low and does not include reading music. Very low start. Maybe good for very little children who have no knowledge of piano at all , but for an adult with very limited skill, this is not a place to pick it back up.

I like this piano course very much. It's very easy to understand and every thing is very clear. Also instructor's communication is very helpful and courageous. Thank you very much.
