"Both these courses serve as excellent references. I have adopted many new fingerings that are much more efficient than those I had been using previously."

- S Edding

"I find the courses very helpful for everyday practice. Many important scales and arpeggios are available. The fingerings are excellent and good preparation for playing independently. The audio files played on the piano are a good support for the intonation. Drone Notes are also helpful."

- Stefan Trummler

"I'm finding the backing tracks for the 2-octave scales and arpeggios to be extremely valuable. Being able to check my intonation for each note helps build muscle memory and sharpen my ear. There's a lot of material here that I expect to be working with for many years."

- Liam Morrissey
