ATLearning on my personal schedule What I like about Cornell Music Acadamy is, that you can (re)learn how to play the piano following your own schedule. I'm not a complete beginner (I've learned how to play the piano when I was younger, but didn't play in a while), so I thought about giving it a try. I was not disappointed. I skipped the very first lessons to get the instructions, that I need it in my personal progress. If a lesson is to difficult for me, i can watch it over and over again till I know how it's done and how things work out for me. Also great that one can use the course for a lifetime. Lessons are self-explanatory and with the help and the instructions of the teacher understandable and comprehensible for everyone. First I decided to only give 4 stars because I really would like to have some sort of instruction in how learning and practicing classical music could be done. But hey - Charles Cornell is a jazz pianist, so I really can't expect that. So 5 Stars is appropriate in any case. Check out his YouTube-Channel, sometimes there are promo-codes to get the lessons in a bundle! Best wishes and thank you for your engagement, Andreas (from Austria)

FIFeels like a great next level from youtube videos I have been learning playing piano from youtube for a while now, but at some point the information just didn't go far enough. Because of this I subscribed to the CMA and was not disappointed! I have started the Intro to Improvisation course and the course feels well organised and the practices engaging. The quality of teaching feels just right for getting forward from youtube videos. On the other hand the customer service is on another level! I wanted to change a course, because it wasn't what I was looking for, and there was no hassle at all.

IEFantastic instuctor Charles is a fantastic instructor and has an amazing grasp of music. The course really helps you to see music in a new way, and I've taken the ideas with me over to guitar too. Only reason for 4 / 5 is that I am not sure if the academy offers live group lessons anymore, which was definitely the best feature.
