“I entered this study of jazz with far less than the level of proficiency of talent than required! I love jazz, but have played old Gospel my entire life! My lack of sufficient knowledge and inadequate skill level are the reasons for my initial negative evaluation! It was not the quality of instruction; but the lack of my own ability to be instructed! I sincerely apologize for sending the analysis of my own inadequacies as though they were reflective of the instructors! Please accept my honest feeling of regret for having implied my overestimating my ability, rather than simply stating I made an error of judgement! I firmly believe the course would be terrific for a musician with much greater ability than is mine! Sincerely, Denny Ragsdale”

“It will be a long road ahead for me to master the warm-up exercises in all 12 keys but I love them. Great value for money.”

“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 was a bit tired of hopping from youtube vid to youtube vid -- tons of great content on there but very little structure. I bit the bullet and joined Open Studio first as a monthly member then as an annual. Every day I log in and I get exactly what I need. Clear, high-quality instruction, play-along tracks, high-quality video, and motivation. Considering a single in-person lesson with any one of these guys would be at least $100 per hour... spending a couple hundred bucks *per year* is a total steal. Plus Adam and the team have such good taste in what they teach, I feel like I'm learning a modern way of playing that suits my own preferences.”

“Outstanding! I had seen some samples online before joining and thought I had a sense. But, now seeing the full range of courses and the quality level -- consistently high -- I am ecstatic at what you all have put together and am looking forward to all the learning ahead.”

“I am seriously impressed with Open Studio. The content is top notch and truly comprehensive. The tutors are fantastic - really talented, knowledgeable and full of great advice. They are also adept at presenting in this medium, talking very naturally to camera. The lessons are slick. Not only the video and audio, which is very professionally done, but all of the other technical stuff around it; the on-screen keyboard, the musical transcriptions that accompany the videos, etc. There's also a buzzing community of other students, comment sections on the videos etc. The courses are well-planned and the lesson content is superb. There's enough content here to last a *really* long time, including a back catalog of lessons on a ton of jazz standards. The accompanying written materials are great too. I've done other online music courses (including Berklee Online). This is the best I've seen yet. They've absolutely nailed this. Really great job Peter, Adam and team. The only possible negatives I'd mention are: - The content is definitely oriented towards piano players at the moment. It's not exclusively piano stuff by any means, and there's plenty of content for bass, guitar, and a bunch of courses for other instruments. I get the impression that's something they're looking to improve, too. However, I think you'll get the most out of this right now if you're a pianist, or if you primarily play another instrument but play some casual piano too (or want to). - The site could be structured a little better. There's a ton of material there but it could be organized slightly better rather than a giant list of courses.”

“Learning and practicing along with Adam is super enjoyable, inspiring and motivating. At present, I'm just into week 2 of Open Studio's Jazz Jump Start course - and loving it! Happily anticipating all the learning and skills development yet to come.”

“I love the idea of Open Studio but the implementation could use some attention. The videos move very quickly and there is no instruction on proper fingering for the etudes. Also, I have found it to be impossible to print the entire etude pdfs. I have not yet been able to get what I expected from Open Studio.”

Hi Robert, Our courses move at different paces and Peter's courses tend to be geared more towards advanced players. We've got lots of beginner-level courses that might be at a better pace for you. Check them out here (Level 1/2): www.openstudiojazz.com/piano Regarding your PDF, I see we emailed on 12/30. I'll go ahead and send you the PDF directly via email if you're still having trouble downloading.

“I decided to give Open Studio a try because I wasn't making good progress in my piano lessons with my local teacher. If you already have a solid foundation and want to get into jazz, Open Studio is perfect! Peter and Adam are not only great players but also very motivating teachers. The lessons are well thought out, and there are lots of courses for all kinds of levels. Thank you so much, Peter and Adam, for the work you put into these courses; you are doing a great job! These courses are perfect if you have the self-discipline to work through the material at your own pace. For me, it works better than having lessons from a local teacher because it is really hard to find a good teacher who is willing or capable of teaching these concepts in such a concise and structured way.”

“So guys( im a fan of your you tube channel) .. i enjoyed the etudes, nice study pieces. the explanations were just ok as it was. the last two thirds of most lessons were mostly, in my opinion simply a show of virtuistic skill by the presenter. Yea, Peter is awesome, fun to watch and sure the notation is there to dissect but in all honesty not very informative. Its like going from 5mph to 100mph to be honest. enjoyable but??? Ive gotten more out of your free stuff on you tube. Keep trying tho I enjoy your you tube channel. I've been studying hard in the paint on my own on the Barry Harris stuff. I did see one of your guys do a quick vid on Barry's chromatic scale rules. Free on you tube”

“I am enjoying the piano jazz etudes course very much! I am a 69 year old pro musician and I wish to improve my jazz improvisation skills, which need a lot of work. So far I have found the etudes to be very informative and helpful as I work to improve my jazz piano playing. Looking forward to the next lesson. Thanks!”
