“I love the way Peter Martin approaches his lessons. (As well as everyone else.) I’ve always lacked confidence with solo piano, even though I have performed solo piano throughout my musical career. But thanks to Peter, Adam, and Geoffrey - I’ve become confident in knowing what to work on, and how to continually develop my sound - especially when you have a family, work, and this global pandemic! Thanks so much Open Studio!”

“Generally speaking, i'm happy. The content is quite good, the explanations are good for the most part. I will say that I'm not too thrilled with all the altered chords in the arrangements, I really think they are dissonant, except as passing tones, and they are often used as a prime sustaining chord. I change them to 6 or M7 or 6-9. Also, whereas Adam is a good tutor, I would like little more about why a chord fits where he has it. He kinda glosses it over a bit.”

“Love the teaching styles of Adam and Pete. Did have some functionality problems on the 7 day trial (keyboard and living note) which makes me hesitate on taking out a subscription”

“I Recently purchased "elements of solo piano " w/Geoff Keezer the discount was great. for me though, this package was not a good fit. Keezer is a fantastic play-no doubt about that, but I expected that he might go into a more spelled out break down of what he was doing in the transcription-didn't happen. Adam's vids were very good in content but a lot of it was stuff I've already done. Very excellent for beginners. To be honest, if I had reviewed all the content ahead of time, I wouldn't have purchased the course.”

“This relates rather particularly to BEBOP ENCLOSURES as a basis for a jazz language: I began to watch some youtube vids once I became aware of bebop enclosures, which happened after striving to play upright bass on and off for years, and then discovering ukulele bass, with a very short scale and rubber strings which sounds so much better than harsh electric bass, and discovering Todd Johnson's Bass Module method. Anyway, as a jazz lover and self-taught music teacher on several instruments (I also had theory lessons and know lotsa "facts" cold, but my hearing is still in need of refinement), I had NEVER understood leading tones or "chromaticism" via other "jazz methods". For 35+ yrs I have struggled to play jazz, and tho I transcribed many solos and bought 400+ books and many CD's, and though I could see notes around chord notes in transcribed solos, I NEVER understood (I hate to say) the "simplicity" of the idea, which is to target important notes in the harmony, via enclosures, and hence make one's solos sound legit. I was amazed, in younger years, looking thru the Omnibook, how Bird could play notes near the important notes of chords, and sound great. But how to do that, I had no clue! I was a victim, sadly, of poor education. (But at least I kept struggling.) There is NO mention of bebop enclosures in a certain free jazz handbook. None in the version I received in early 2020, and none in the many I received in years before. But that cat sells some of the BEST spiritual books which have changed my life, without which I would be VERY lost. All in all, the spiritual path is most important, but I sure wish I coulda made better music along the path of my life. But, I am STARTING NOW to get a grasp, so hey, next lifetime I hope to be able to play "the moment". A song title comes to mind..."I can dream, can't I?" (Look, if A.M. and P.M. would prefer that I edit this, I shall, and you all can delete this part, but my STRUGGLE WAS REAL, AND I HAVE BEEN THAT ODDBALL JAZZLOVER ALL OF MY ADULT LIFE.)”

“It’s the best instruction I have ever encountered. I’ve learned a great deal that really effectively change the way how I cultivate and approach improvisation in general. I live in Thailand and am Thai so I have got some problem attending events because of the difference of the time zone.”

“Haven't been able to do much with the course, not because of it's presentation, but because my upright bass had to go to the doctor's and get its neck fixed. So I am empty handed for 10 days....”

“C’est génial, il faut être patient, et je sens que je progresse, même si il me faudrait des journées de 48h00 pour espérer avoir le temps de travailler plus de choses différentes. Je suis sûr que vous apprécierez ce petit message en français dans le texte. Merci encore et félicitations à tous pour votre sympathie et votre pédagogie. Matthieu”

“I love both Christian McBride courses. In this time when live music is just not around we need a way to hear the greats do their thing and talk about it. Also, Bob DeBoos ( sorry about the spelling) guided practicing are so helpful. If I'm not getting better at jazz, it's my fault not yours 🙂.”

“I have found the site content, set-up, and the execution have been wonderful and a great value. I am a jazz oriented upright bassist at the intermediate level and I want to become advanced. So far, I have purchased Rhythm Section Fundamentals, the Brazilian Rhythm Section and both Christian McBride bass courses. I love having lifetime access. The software also works great and the available transcriptions are a key learning tool for me. The lessons present many valuable pieces of wisdom with ample demonstrations more than giving tons of exercises, which I love. However, there are now companion videos in Christians course to help with day to day practice and breaking down concepts. The few I have tried so far are excellent and provide a really great recourse to get some serious practice done. Great value overall for the price of a small number of private lessons! In these pandemic times, Open Studio is great way to stay motivated - it has many podcasts and live stream sessions for free that provide a great means of connection community of jazz musicians.”

“Enjoyed your 7days trial lesson. I think if students could clearly see and hear what they can achieve after completion of classes, it will be more easier for them to enroll your class. I definitely enroll your class and I would like to be part of your community.”
