The IG short reels are packed with enough good leads to work on. Decided to try the 14 day intro and take a peek under the hood. Wow. Plenty to roll with. Online learning is new to me but this is really well thought out. Also a connection into a distant community of like minded students of music.

Anything you want to know about Jazz or learn how to play Jazz, Open Studio has you covered. The lessons are "crazy good" and presented in a great format always presented with a fantastic instructor. The only thing that I would like added to the program is a pathway through the maze of great info. Perhaps you could qualify members as to their playing level and knowledge of jazz and then send recommendations or suggestions that would support that individuals experience.

I’ve been an Open Studio member for just over a year, and I can hardly count the ways I’ve grown. I’m a better player, a better listener, and I’m living a more musical life. OS has lessons that stretch me, paired with instructors and a community that make me feel supported. I’m very grateful to both the OS team and the community.

Good, open-hearted multi-stranded learning environment. Adam’s guided learning practice sessions are the best. I feel I’m making progress after years of treading water. Thanks!

Right off the bat, I had incredible and fun lessons from Peter Martin, Emmet Cohen, and Jeremy Siskind. I can keep reviewing these lessons to get more and more from them because they are packed full of great stuff. Well worth it.

Open Studio has been great for my jazz study and development! I have not taken any kind of jazz/music lessons since the 1970's and have basically been on my own learning what I could from various jazz method books, listening to jazz and playing in groups for many years. In a very short time the training with Open Studio has really accelerated my jazz improvisational skills with new ideas and concepts that I was not previously aware of. I'm looking forward to being a much better jazz musician with the help of Open Studio!

Every day I sit at my piano and start my day with an Adam who doesn't know me but that I have developped an attentive relationship with. I am an ex-Berklee upright bass and arrangement student and decided, after a 40 years long medical practice, to start afresh with the piano. Quite a challenge that I tuck in every day like a yoga session with no professional goals and no desire for recognition as a musician. Just sheer pleasure. Music saves! Christopher

I love the piano, but I've rarely felt permission be vulnerable in my jazz skills development process. I studied classical for 9 years and began studying jazz and playing piano in a jazz ensemble twice a week in an ARTS High School along with theory classes twice a week. I went to one of the best music schools in the world majoring in jazz/commercial piano studies and the entire process was painful, like navigating chaos in frozen mud. The Open Studio Podcast/You'll Hear It Podcast allowed me into conversations I was not privy to/was afraid to join because I never quite knew my skill level, but I definitely understand it's not good enough for me to ever sit in on a jam session or take requests. So this is another "healing" story. I'm within the 14 free days trial and can't quite afford to join YET... But I'm enjoying exploring the courses. Heck, I pray for the grace to be a beginner and chose the beginners video and for the first time learned why the difference between piano lengths made a difference in tone and the difference between grand pianos and upright pianos. See what I mean? Things are straightening out without legacy, race or status getting in the way (another story). With music school my experience was you had to already be a genius in order to get the proper attention needed (I actually witnessed that over and over). Now maybe I can get some organized structure and see real results from practice, not just grandstanding because I collected a few complicated chords but not know what to do with them. I hope this made sense. Open Studio seems to be doing things positively and very well. ~ Geocosmic Valentine

I’m loving the course on Paul Chambers style. Would love more specific courses tailored in the same way for other bassists. A similar courses on Ray Brown would be great. I’d love to see similar offerings for contemporary electric jazz bass as well. Maybe a focused course on Hadrien Feraud? Just throwing that out there

From the diverse range of courses to the supportive community, Open Studio offers an unparalleled experience. The instructors are top-notch, providing clear instruction and valuable insights that have significantly improved my skills. Overall, Open Studio gets five stars from me. It's not just a platform; it's a supportive environment that fosters creativity and learning. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore their artistic potential as a beginner or experienced, it's a sure way to refine your craft.

So glad to be back on the OsPro platform again since the waiting list was recently reopened. This is by far the best learning resource for all Jazz musicians from the beginner and amateur to the professional. You will gain so much from these fantastic teachers. I personally benefit from the structure of weekly classes that make it easy to follow a dedicated pathway. As a Double bassist a big shout out to Bob Deboo whose lessons impart a wealth of knowledge in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. Lastly, in terms of value for money I get 4 lessons per week on Double bass but also dip into all the other courses such as the Pentatonic course by Adam Maness. Definitely value for money.

Instructors are nice and knowledgeable. The workflow continued to be an issue (mainly there is no digesteable calendar i can import - i have to create an entirely new flow every week - I have a ton of meetings and rely on my calendar religiously to tell me where I need to be). I reached out to Kaleb and he encouraged me to make my own calendar invite every week ... which is just silly for a $100 / mo subscription. I then brought up this issue to Dan and he couldn't even be bothered to respond. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to buy into the OSPro community when the founder won't even acknowldege my friction point. Seems like a good platform for those retired or who have less demanding positions.

Hi Ryan, Apologies on the delayed reply and I'm sorry your experience was less than ideal. We have been taking into account all of the recommended features and deploying them as soon as they are ready. I'm happy to say that we will be launching the ability to add the sessions to your calendar (GCal, Outlook or Apple Cal) very soon. Best, Dan Martin Co-founder, Open Studio
