Hi there, We love feedback like this. Can you give me examples of how the video player experience on mobile could be better? Best, Dan co-founder, Open Studio

I watched several of Adam Maness's YouTube videos at the recommendation of my piano teacher. I found them very interesting and easy to follow. Adam doesn't rush through explanations of technical terms as some of the other music instructional videos that I've reviewed do. I have been playing piano off and on for many years and can sight-read music well. However, my piano teacher has been encouraging me to learn music theory and work on improvisation skills. Open Studio Jazz has been the perfect fit for me in this regard. My piano teacher also signed up and we are working through the Jump Start Jazz Piano course together.

I’m not good navigating instagram so if I’m studying a scale and I want to go back to wherever I was, can’t get back there. Also the pentatonic scales by Peter Martin only has fingerings for right hand. Shouldn’t I be practicing with my left hand? If so which would the fingerings be? Thanks.

The trumpet course is great and I'm taking the piano course to further my theory. These people are good people 😀

Open studio is the only source for learning blues piano that I have found that steps you through the process. Other sites provide lots of information, but for those of us just starting out and trying to transition from classical piano (learned at a very young age) to blues and jazz (at a much much older age,) we need to start with a lot of the basics all over again. I have to laugh at some things though. Like the 30 day practice challenge, Day 1 is more like Week 1 for me. But it is all good, and once you start to get the hang of really hearing and the rhythm it gets a lot better! Happy playing everyone!

Just bought a 1-year membership to Open Studio on Christmas Day as a little present to myself. It was a good call. Though I'm still getting acquainted with all there is to absorb, I'm very pleased with the level of professionalism and overall presentation of the content. I have specific goals and there is little doubt I'll be greatly assisted by the quantity and variety of quality material available with my membership. The effort and high production quality put forth by Open Studio is evident, and continues to improve over time as evidenced by older vs. newer content. In particular, both Adam and Peter are engaging, amusing, and effective in their presentation of even the most challenging of concepts and their application. Excellent work gentlemen. Selfishly, I'd like to see multiple deep-dive episodes into reharmonizing 'pop cover songs' into solo piano jazz pieces. Taking classic 60's-70's covers by the likes of James Taylor, the Beatles, etc., and turning them into dense jazz harmony renditions is what I aspire to do. I didn't grow up listening to the jazz standards typically performed by jazz musicians so I don't have the same appreciation for that material...but I LOVE jazz harmony. I've seen a few guys on YouTube do this with great success...now I 'must have it!' I'm adding a file to a reharmonization performance like this by young pianist Yohan Kim where he does exactly what I want to do. He covers the Beatles song Yesterday. It's gorgeous. Lastly, I've yet to come across any references to either the young phenom multi-instrumentalist Justin-Lee Schultz or the amazing Eldar Djangirov in your material or Podcasts. Both are quite noteworthy and I believe quite deserving of being highlighted in your Podcasts. In particular, Eldar's technique and deft touch appears flawless. I've added files of both of them below. Keep up the great work, the excellent content, and the engaging presentation of material. In time, with your help, I'll be reharmonizing my favorite tunes from my youth into jazz harmony versions with quality bebop solos over the changes - all with a big smile on my face.

For musicians like me who live in a place where there aren't many jazz teachers, OpenStudio is a great help. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to learn, the material is practical and enjoyable. I recommend it!

I completely agree with my lifelong friend Mr Lennarts who you gave a shout-out in your last podcast on not-resolutions. The content is great and the chemistry between Peter and Adam results in a lot of happy practising! Cheers, Julius from the Netherlands

I'm only 2 weeks in so it's early days. But, so far, I'm very impressed with my jazz piano jump start course. I like the fact that it is constructed specifically for long term development. The next 6 to 12 months will be significant in demonstrating my development.

I've been an open studio member for about 2 weeks now, and am currently taking the "5-minute ear training" and "jazz piano jump start" classes. This format of instruction has clear advantages over traditional in-person private lessons. I've done a couple of stints studying jazz piano in the past, and, although I always made an audio tape of the lesson, it left me thinking how great it would be to have that audio synced with overhead video of the keyboard. Open Studio checks that box. The guided practice sessions are great at combining a lesson with a practice methodology. Being able to stop and shed during the lesson is also a plus. Thanks for putting this together.

I like Open Studio a lot. I'm a bassist (doubler) trying to get some basic piano skills. I tend to need a lot more physical practice than entry level music theory as I have experience and schooling for that part already. Otherwise, the pace is good for me and I appreciate the deep understanding and experience of Adam and Peter. I also like that, with my Bundle purchase, I can take some bass lessons as well.

I’m an intermediate jazz pianist and all I really needed was some professional direction. Peter Martin is just what I’ve been looking for. Adam Maness is outstanding too. I’ve finally found a home where I can get better. Excellent instructors!
