The Miracle of Mindfulness
Using Mindfulness for improved concentration and performance anxiety
I've played piano on and off for many years, and I really love how Robin just drops you into playing rhythms from the get-go. I grew up playing classical music, which didn't prepare me for improv or the like, so this course really helps with that. Thank you Robin for bringing your expertise
THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROGRAM OR CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN ON ANY SUBJECT!!!!!!!!!! I I cannot recommend this more.
Because the pdfs are so self explanatory and even if you don’t understand the videos make you understand
So far it's excellent, the teacher is very easy to understand and combines both the written course with the videos very well. The course is huge but is exactly what I was looking for.
I like the methods and the way things are broken down. I am just having a hard time placing the sample songs with the tunes of the actual songs because they sound so different. You kind of hum some of them as you go, but it would be helpful to actually hear the melody of the songs you are trying to sample while playing the samples.
It's very easy to follow along. The instructor has a calm soothing voice making it easy not to panic.....:)
The course covers everything and it’s organised well. The course helps you develop your skills from the beginning and introduces you to new techniques that you can always expand and experiment on. The instructor knows exactly what he is doing and doesn’t waste time with irrelevant stories. Keeps to short, informative videos. I initially started not knowing anything about piano and now I’m confident in playing piano after following the course. This is the ultimate course for learning piano. I would highly recommend this to anybody who wants to learn piano, regardless of level.
Interesting course so far but not doesn’t go into much detail about any theory to give a better understanding
Really well organized and easy to follow course. I was a complete beginner and am growing in knowledge and skill each time I practice.
I dont really have the time to go for music classes so finding out about this course has been an absolute delight!I can keep up with the pace and finally being able to play the piano seems within grasp.Thanks a lot! :)
really helpful and is enlarging my knowledge on the piano. however, when the tutor is playing the piano for an example, he goes to fast for me.
Der Kurs gefällt mir gut, weil: Er geht entspannt und ruhig in vielen kleinen Lernschritten voran - Theorie wird besprochen aber nicht übertrieben. Macht Spaß.
I am amazed with this course! I have studied music for a long time and could never play the piano freely without a lot of thinking and rehearsing every simple song. After going through the videos and explanations on how to approach cords, inversions and rhythm styles, I am certain that with a little due diligence and practice my goals are very attainable.
I'm only on day two of the course and have achieved so much more than any other tutorials and books. I finally feel like I am actually playing piano and it feels great, thank you so much.
I feel very encouraged by the down to earth way Robin explains all of this. Practicing along and feeling hopeful! Thank you so much. It feels just as if you asked a friend to just sit down and finally show you some things, and they agreed to it and decided to help you in the least amount of time spent )))) I love it.
