Learning 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)

Thanks so much for the feedback Andreas! I really appreciate your input here. It helps us determine how to iterate on our products and also to help guide what we build in the near future. I'd love to get into some practice/technique/classical content. However, as you pointed out, my background is definitely rooted in jazz, so we've built almost everything thus far based around applied theory and skills that will help anyone play anything, no matter the genre. Classical is definitely a whole different beast! One that I'm eager to get into, though. Reviews can be a tricky thing and it's sometimes surprising how much something as simple as a 4-star review can actually hurt our overall rating, but that just seems to be the way that Trustpilot works. Given that your reasoning isn't necessarily to do with the products that we currently have, but rather with things you'd like to see in the future, we'd be extremely grateful if you'd consider helping us out by updating your rating. Either way, even if you choose to leave it as is, that's totally ok and I'm personally grateful for your honest feedback. Thank you!!! -Charles
