I am a student in South Korea. I have experience studying classical music for a long time when I was young. I have always had doubts about whether I can really learn jazz piano online. I've taken a few offline lessons, but due to my job and expenses, I had no choice but to opt for online classes. However, I felt that the lessons at Open Studio were more valuable than those of offline teachers. So far, I have only taken the jump-start class, but I felt that the content of Open Studio's lessons was focused on the essence of jazz. I was surprised by how they started from intervals and taught how to listen to music as a player. Many offline teachers instruct students to play the keyboard with the correct finger and memorize scales and chords. Of course, this method has its merits, but I really enjoyed Open Studio's lessons, which encouraged me to think, imagine, and experiment with small ideas and concepts. In the future, I plan to slowly learn jazz through Open Studio, and if I ever feel a clear limitation in self-study, I plan to take offline lessons on an ad-hoc basis. I hope that all the classes I take in the future will reflect the efforts and considerations of the Open Studio team, just like the jump-start class. If I have one wish, it would be that backing tracks for the etudes are available in all 12 keys! And also It would be awesome if the "Introduction to the Piano Pathway" is availabe to non members. (I was noticed about this content through openstudio team with email)
