I joined Gospel University to get better at piano, increased my understanding of harmony, and train my ears. All of that was accomplished during my time in the course. It was a bit advanced for me. I'm primarily a guitarist and I understood all of the harmony, but it took time for my piano technical skills to catch up. Luckily, there website and platform is organized and well laid out. It is easy to follow and figure out where you need to spend your time and what to focus on to improve. Vaughn and my coach Lorenzo were both awesome and great people to talk to. They were both super supportive and answered any questions I had during my time. If you want to improve your piano playing no matter your level this is a great place to be. I wish I had more time to do more of the coaching calls but was a bit busy with life as well as practicing my main instrument guitar for different gigs. My piano playing, musical knowledge, and guitar playing have all improved through Gospel University.

I started with Gospel University back in May 2022. The program is intensive, but so thorough and organized. Vaughn truly makes your journey towards better keys playing attainable, tying in all the loose ends. The group calls and 1on1 training are very helpful. Even if you are a beginner, you will feel loved and accepted. Vaughn truly just wants to see us all shed LOL. This program is for committed musicians, and if you are, you will grow, that is a fact.

The Gospel University has grate content and continues to help me understanding theory and concepts. The Group calls are helpful as the issues I face and others are all addressed and feedback given from coaches that will improve your playing. In Gospel University if you stick with it and do the work, you will start seeing results. If you really want to understand how to learn songs and not just copy others, but understand what chords you can use for songs and understanding behind why, when and where you should use chords then I recommend The Gospel University, awesome, awesome awesome.

I've been having a great experience with Gospel University so far. The classes, assignments, and mentors within GU have greatly improved my piano playing in gospel music. I am now able to reharmonize and play with thicker voicings than I did before! Thanks Vaughn and team!
