As a life long musician open studio has been a huge asset to my continuous learning. I have studied West African, Brazilian, and Cuban percussion and have dabbled with anything else that makes noise. Recently while finding myself at home more than normal during the pandemic I took up the piano. I started with alfreds piano books for kids, which allowed to get past my fears of reading music and understanding music theory. I got the all access pass and I love this style of teaching. The emphasis on listening and feeling the music reminds me of learning new percussion rhythm. I luckily self taught myself enough that I can jump into the beginner level courses without being lost, and I am excited I found a curriculum that will inspire me for years to come.
