I could not access the Friday Mentor sessions and I tried everything so please let me know what to do for this upcoming Friday. This all could be due to the new format that you have instituted recently please know that I am an invited guest from Open studio and I do not have an open Studio Pro membership so please look into this thank you.

Hi Timothy, To access live events, click the blinking "live" icon at the top of the page before the session is starting, or go straight to the Events Calendar linked on your dashboard. Mentor Session recordings are now in the new Community section of Open Studio. Standard members now have access to a space to easily interact with other members, share playing, and get questions answered. You can always reach out to us directly via chat or email - we're here to help. Once you get acclimated to the enhanced site, consider revising your review. Happy practicing!

This Open Studio has everything for all levels for many instruments. My instrument happens to be the piano. I've learned so many things so far, jazz-related and otherwise. Adam is the best course instructor on piano as he is clear with his instructions and he shows much patience and enthusiasm both in his Guided Practice Sessions and in explaining the many concepts in his courses. I also enjoy his 'Shorts' on Facebook and Instagram, etc. I like Peter Martin as well, but since I'm new at playing jazz, I tend to get lost more in his courses as he moves very quickly. I do revisit his courses in hopes of learning a concept or two. So many other opportunities are provided with the Open Studio Community Page, as well as with their many 'live' sessions. Their website is easy to navigate especially with the new additions to it. Whenever I have a music question, it is answered quickly (thank you, Rachel!). This is the best jazz studio group to join if you are a musician and want to learn more, whatever level. Soo worth the $$$.

You guys are the best!! Open Studio makes me happy every day. Peter and Adam, you have put together such a strong selection of lessons from basic to advanced. Though I am a pianist, I also learn so much from the other lessons on offer (bass, drums, vibes etc...) The instructors in Open Studio are clearly a passionate masters. Very thankful also for your practice sessions that really take my playing out of the conceptual into the real world of "getting my hands into it" Thank you so much for creating a wonderful learning tool! Keep up the good work!

Open Studio is an amazing community for learners and lovers of music. It's open in spirit and attitude: anyone who wants to learn and respect the community of learners is welcome. It's a studio -- where you practice, experiment, goof up, regroup, and grow. It has become a fixture in my musical adventure.

Open Studio Jazz is the best online source for anyone who want to continue studying music on your own. Both Adam and Peter are very knowledgeable and encouraging. In my opinion, I got lucky and signed up with them at a time where I think I got a real steal.

Open Studio is worth every penny! The guided practice sessions, especially in the beginner courses, take away all the guess work about how to put into practice what Adam and Peter teach on the theory side. The site redesign that just debuted adding course bookmarks makes it just about perfect.

Everything that I wanted to learn and know about is all here. The most knowledgeable and most kind teachers you could ever hope for . By far the best on the internet. Love every moment of the Live sessions. Always something to work on.

I benefitted from all the courses I opened to watch. See Rachel, found many missing links tho, but got workarounds/fixes within a day or so of each notification to her, which was great. Sound quality and speed of presentation and in some cases, lack of materials with the J Piano Method Course by Peter were not up to your later vids standards, I realize these are older, the info was good tho. Re speed often makes references to other concepts pretty fast, luckily I was familiar enough to follow, and where no materials available, stop to make notes of new tidbits as needed, but not everyone in that course--even uf level 4, like I am, would be able to work at that speed. Cleaning up the sound if poss. would also be nice on those. I am returning to playing after a very long layoff, so familiar with most of the topics and just reviewing, found some good tibdits new here and there or reminders tho. I have been using OS on YT and get your emails for GPS and You'll Hear It podcast, was waiting for the Parks course release to get in for that and other courses, knowing that much would be review for me. Thank you for all you do, keep up the good work!

I’ve had the subscription for 4 months but I haven’t used it until yesterday 4/6. I think what you’re doing is excellent! Unfortunately while you make an excellent water hole, only we the subscribers can make the choice to drink from it. I will be back to take more sips as I acquire a taste for this healthy water… forgive me, but I’m guilty of gorging on sweet tea and craft beer (youtube shorts and IG reels). I’m finally taking responsibility for what I ingest (invest) in!

I've been a member for around a year now. Excellent opportunity to actively develop jazz and musical skills with a perfect blend of experts each offering a their own unique perspective. Couldn't ask for more. A profitable investment!

I like learning jazz piano with open studio. It’s been seven months since I joined an OS member and I am pretty satisfied with various lesson which I never get bored. OS has given me an opportunist to increase jazz vocabulary such as Bebop, rhythm and voicings, it helps me to improve my level. Additionally, all instructors are world-class jazz musician!

7 stars, like the podcast, but I can't get that to work. I think the best thing is the sense of community, the bond with other students, that you can't get elsewhere. You feel like part of a family.

I love Open Studio! Its value is as large as the amount of time and practice I can put in. All levels covered well, by a large team of expert improvisers who also know how to teach, and discover new ways to look at music (=new courses!) all the time. Peace, and piano!

Nice content but user experience with an Android smartphone is not so good. If I want to start a video or navigate between lesson there's always a variable lag of time. Theres not enough space on the screen to avoid pressing buttons we don't want to press, looping is not precise and all operation is charge by a lot of waste of time to navigate. All fonction aviable (keyboard piano roll, transcription, subtitles, loop fonction ) présent very often bugs and they don't work correctly. Videos too, they are sometimes very long and the good information need to be extrapolated from a lot of words and space fillers. I suggest to invest on a platform "mobile friendly", a lighter one, that allow to navigate quickly and without waste of time. All fonction like piano roll, synchronized slice sheet musique, loop and so on must be revised to remove bugs and problem, they slow down a lot all the system without advantages. I use a lot YouTube, I pay for removing ads, it's fast, audio and video have an enough good quality to profit completely of the content. There's not fancy option that's true, and looping is almost impossible for z lack of precision. I hope my ideas are clear, if you want we can discuss again about these subjects. Best regards Stefano Schipani

OpenStudio is a mega resource for all musicians - not just for piano but for all instruments. Not only are the courses brilliant, client service is also superb in responding to all types of questions. Highly recommended!
