I come to Open Studio with a background as a professionally trained jazz drummer, having performed for over 25 years, and a graduate of an elite jazz school. My intention was to elevate my piano playing skills, and while I found some value in the lessons, I have reservations that lead me to give a rating of 3 stars. The content indeed offered insights, but the speed at which the lessons are conducted presented challenges. A lack of provided fingerings and an overall 'rushed' atmosphere detracted from what I hoped would be a more focused and refined experience. While I recognize and appreciate the culture and vibe of jazz instruction, I mean I lived it for a large part of my life as a drummer, my expectations were aligned with something more meticulous in its approach. I've noticed that several comments under the lessons resonate with my sentiments, lending further credence to my observations. I believe the piano courses could benefit from adopting a more intentional pedagogical approach, aligning the instruction with the needs and expectations of learners at varying skill levels
