Everything is awesome. I just feel that sometimes you go to fast (Peter mainly). The guided practice sessions, are not really guided practice sessions, because still too fast. It is somthing in between a lesson and a practice session, which is good as an encouragement for a practice session. But it is not a guided practice session. Thanks for all and congratulation for the great professionaly

Content was great, but I needed a more structured approach to get from beginner to intermediate. Have started using “jazz piano school” courses, since it’s better for beginners (has excellent practice sessions with sheet music). I look forward to returning to Open Studio when I’ve improved my skills.

Great content. Easy to acces. Highly recommend. Just wish there was a mobile app…

Good variety, positive energy. It would be nice if Peter slowed things down first to teach concepts or show lines, so I wouldn't have to rewind and slow down the player multiple times just to figure out what he's doing. I'd also like to see him demonstrate how to build an arrangement. For example, take a simple standard or pop tune, play the melody, then add chords, bass, etc and show step by step what he's adding to the arrangement.

Great broad selection of courses. Easy PDF print outs Generally the teachers talk too much before the real practice is shown.

Open studio is very useful and covers a wide range of styles and material for study. I would like the mobile site to be a little better made..

Loving Open Studio. The content is fantastic and these guys are absolute masters at what they teach with methods and new thought approaches that revolutionise learning. In some cases these methods have shaved hours and hours off the previous approaches I had taken, and I have already had many a 'penny drop' moment. Not a fault of the instructors but their latest website upgrade has a few problems. Sometimes videos just freeze. And search results on site don't always match the search queries made. Downloaded PDFs could be better labelled too, sometimes they are just named something like 'lesson 4', which doesn't mean much when you come to search for them later. Otherwise absolutely brilliant though!

I have been taking jazz piano for years. I came across Open Studio on YouTube and saw that it was different than other groups I had joined previously. I'm not a beginner, so I appreciate that I could explore the different levels. Having the instructors explain things in different ways than I'm used to helped me understand the concepts on different levels. I love the guided practice sessions because they keep me focused on skills I need to work on but might otherwise skip over. The instructors are very skilled musicians too.

I think fingering suggestions on some of your lesson pdf's would be helpful. other than that, the material is great. I hope to join Pro after I have built my skills to a higher level.

Very easy to follow instructions - however, it does require a modicum of knowledge of music theory. I am very pleased with the exercises and I suspect it will take a good year to master!

I ordered Essential Jazz Piano Etudes even though I’m a sax/flute player. It is very challenging but not overwhelming. Playing in 12 keys away from the written page is good for me. It’s a work in progress and I’ll keep at it daily. Thanks

Buonasera. Per quanto mi riguarda preferirei qualche altro corso per contrabbasso, ed anche un corso di armonia jazz, con esercizi da svolgere a casa...così da vedere il progressivo miglioramento degli studenti. Anche se sono poco interessato, il corso per pianisti appare il più completo. Saluti Antonio T.

There's so much to like about Open Studio, but most importantly the piano instructors are very enthusiastic and inspiring (in addition to being very talented). I follow the courses in addition to traditional piano lessons and so far it's worked out great. I don't know if I'd recommend it to complete beginners as their sole means of instruction, because it's still important to get personal feedback on small things (posture, touch, etc.). I also still recommend that aspiring jazz pianists look for opportunities to play with others, as there's only so much you can learn from an online community, but this by no means detracts from what Open Studio offers. The most important recommendation I have (hence the four stars) is that an app should be a no-brainer. The organisation of the courses via the website isn't always incredibly clear or easy to navigate and a decent iOS or Android app should make the experience even better.
