Just what it says on the tin, no fluff, straightforward and to the point. Instructor has solid delivery and a confident feel for the material he's teaching, no humming or hawing, straight to the point. Nice!

It’s helped me to understand how the keys/notes function which is something I didn’t learn when taking piano lessons

I personally thought this course was very well structured for people, like myself, who has never gone through proper music education. It was really interesting to go through the main foundations of music theory and I've understood the majority of it. I'll have to revisit the course once more to get a good full understanding along by writing extra notes in my notebook as it significantly helped me to remember even more (For those who can't remember very well like myself, I would highly recommend doing that, grab a notebook and jot down those notes, it can be a lifesaver for some).

This course has crystal clear and concise instruction. I've had music lessons before but none of my teachers taught me the basics of music theory. This course laid everything out for me in such a helpful way. I've been able to apply what I've learned to the piano and other instruments I play. It's completely transferrable information.
If you need a good foundation on music theory, this is the class for you! If you take the time to learn what's taught in this course, your music playing and writing will improve a ton.

I like the fact that the instructor gives enough attention to the fundamentals like hand position and essential music theory. I do hope he can offer a longer, more thorough version of this course which might be more appealing to the audience who really want a solid foundation. Keep up with the good work! P.S. his voice is very soothing :)

It was very helpful. It covered all the basics I was looking for, which was very tedious to gather from other sources that I tried earlier. This is an all-in-one course for beginners and I would gladly recommend it to my friends who are interested to learn the piano.
Thanks for the great mentoring!

What a fantastic explanation for the music Chords, scales, keys. I really loved the course. Would recommend it to others.
Lot of things cleared in my head today related to chords, scales and other topics. I play Guitar and understood lot of concepts from this. Course is well structured and pretty straight forward.

As an adult beginner trying to learn piano/music with little one, I have tried a few online courses (only the starting part) without much good result. I prefer to learn something with understanding why. I have just finished "A Complete College-Level Music Theory Curriculum" and finished level 1, 2, and 3, which is very good (I will take higher level later), but a lot of things are seems up in the air. Now taking this class, most of the things come back down to the earth.
One issue for this course: it is hard to see the finger position - which fingers are on the key. Maybe you need some tool used by other instructors.

Course was good. There are some concepts where the instructor goes through a bit fast, but if you are resourceful you will finish understanding if you look up the rest on google. Other than that, i would recommend this course to anyone who was in my position before initiating this course: could play piano, but had some gaps in music theory and wanted to fill those gaps.

I play the guitar, and started with piano recently. This course made me even understand a lot about my guitar as well. Well structured and to the point.
