A New Experience
Still in the learning mode and feel the instructors are talking to people who have had some piano experience whereas I am new to the piano.

Hi Ms Alma, thanks for your review. I would like to encourage you to start with "The 100: Gospel Grammar System." I assure you it does not assume any prior knowledge. In fact, here are the first 5 lessons: 1 - Course Introduction 2 - The Musical Alphabet 3 - Note Shapes & Memory Aides Recommended: Study Games To Learn Notes 4 - Musical Distance 101: Half Steps & Whole Steps 5 - Sharps & Flats Lesson 2 literally means A, B, C, D, E, F, G with diagrams and quizzing to boot. Lesson 3 literally means "here's how to remember the white notes and the slight shapes the keys make" (...like how C looks like an 'L' wrapped around the black key above it). Lesson 4 talks about the distance between notes like half steps being right next door to each other with no notes in between them. Lesson 5 then tells you what to call the black notes (C sharp or D flat, etc). As there are 1000s of lessons in GMTC, it's easy to get wrapped into something on your timeline (and then feel intimidated that it is beyond your league). It is my hope that you return specifically to our flagship course, "The 100: Gospel Grammar System," start from the beginning, and then return here to hopefully update your review to let us know it indeed started from the beginning :-). Our goal is to support you to reach your musical goals. Thank you.
