PianoGroove レビュー 

I found everything I was looking for and more at PianoGroove. The Jazz course includes a syslabuses explaining what you can expect to be covered. I found this very helpful since it provided guidance and a sense of knowing when it was time to move on. Unlike watching YouTube videos where you are constantly jumping on to the next hot topic on the next hot channel. The PianoGroove videos focus on specific skill areas to work on and developed. The video interface allows you to pause, rewind, slow down and even loop a difficult section. All the study materials are included in the form of PDF files. There are practice lessons, tips and additional related videos also available. Plus there are Live Seminars again focusing on some specific topic or skill where you can ask the instructor questions directly. Can't make it to a Live Seminar? No problem. They are all recorded. You can choose the ones you are interested in and watch them later. This is a continouly growing library of knowledge at your finger tips. There is also a vibrant fourm with many diverse topics. I can go on and on. I can not recommend PianoGroove enough.

PianoGroove is probably the best online, self-learning platform for jazz piano in existence. Excellent content. The only downside is that the technology that backs the site doesn’t seem to have been updated in a few years.

jon has a great way of talking about music and is a great teacher. i have been playing NO style music for 40 years and he has added greatly to my knowledge and enthusiasm.

Your training platform is user friendly. The lesson format is easy to follow.

This program is fantastic. They thought of everything. There are video lessons, pdf downloadable worksheets, a practice guide, & live seminars.
The explanations are thorough, and interesting.
I highly recommend this course.

I watched PianoGroove develop over the years and it is constantly being improved so it just gets better and better all the time. I can't image there is a better site out there for learning jazz piano

The combination of video tutorials and lessons, practice tips, pdf downloads of supplemental learning materials and transcriptions of fabulous solo jazz piano arrangements, live workshops, and more, has made pianogroove for me a fun and comprehensive learning and training resource.

The lessons are informative, technically easy to access and the program covers all levels and styles of music. Hayden and the other instructors break down each step and I like going back to review previous lessons and webinars.

After taking a free course (pentatonic scales) and getting a free orientation to the website and all of the resources available, I decided to subscribe to PianoGroove. Upon signing up, I got an email from Hayden Hill offering a 15-minute phone call to talk about my goals. I was able to share my jazz experience (beginner from classically trained pianist) and goals (play in a jazz band). The call was great. Hayden provided some tips and advice which I really appreciated. (First time in a new band will be a very daunting experience - appreciated that candor!). He followed up with a detailed 3-part plan with links to many resources on the website. He also indicated which of these suggestions should be priorities for me given my goals.

I also listened in to a live webinar with Jovino Neto on the minor 251 progression. This seminar changed my orientation to learning harmony. Neto cautioned against being attached to the linear representation of chords and suggested looking at them from the bottom-up, top-down, and sideways. ("Make friends with chords; you should be able to recognize them in the dark.") There are many recorded seminars on a wide variety of topics including how to approach jazz standards. PianoGroove is an online resource, but the difference is that you have a clear sense of the humans (like Hayden and Jovino) behind these resources. That is a unique characteristic in my experience using online resources for piano study.

So far I have had an extremely positive experience with PianoGroove and would highly recommend it to other aspiring jazz pianists.

Every thing is great, thank you very much for the perfect and hard work.

Arrangements are great...beautifully done; instruction is appropriate to the level of experience and concepts explained well. I don't really read music but still benefit immensely from the clarity of instruction.

PianoGroove has a wide variety of piano styles and vast array of piano offerings that are very well presented. The team that has gathered with Hayden are all outstanding musicians. I particularly like the arrangements that they and Hayden present. Much of what they are teaching is not directed at absolute beginners, but the courses do build from beginner to more advanced arrangements. I also appreciate that Hayden or one of the team will usually respond to questions and requests, so you know someone is paying attention.

I finally strted to understand....

very good lessons with perfect explanations

Although it is certainly possible to learn to play the piano by following the beginners lessons, I advise you to learn the technique in the right way at the music school through a music teacher who is present. However, if you're reasonably versed on the instrument, this is a great way to progress. The lessons and exercises are well put together and you can always contact Hayden with questions. Unfortunately, due to my lesser knowledge of English, I could not get all the benefit from the lessons. So in summary if you are English speaking and a somewhat advanced pianist I can highly recommend this training.

Lots of information about extended chords and I love the jazz standards. Learning a lot about block chord too. I look forward to exploring all aspects of jazz-I have played intermediate classical and read about pop chord progressions. Jazz sounds are challenging and beautiful. Hayden explains material well and plays the jazz stanards well too.

Absolutely excellent. As well as the superb lessons, the interface is also very good and easy to navigate. I especially like the loop feature so you can focus on a specific section, such as a tricky piano run. There are a huge range of lessons, with several different teachers. The sheer number could be a bit overwhelming in terms of where to start, but there is a very useful syllabus section to give you some guidance. Overall very pleased so far and my goal is to complete the 2 beginner jazz modules in 2023.

I have tried a number of Jazz Piano Courses and this is the best for learning how to play from a lead sheet. The way to harmonize the melody, using shells, rootless voicings, chord extensions and substitutions. Being aware of the 251 patterns and the idea of thinking creatively about a personal arrangement and building from basic principles.

my experience mainly concerns courses on improvisation. I remove one star from the maximum because the subtitles are not in French like on you tube

During my learning of the Georgia tune, I was very impressed that Hayden used the minor cliche in three different positions while teaching the song. Descending line from the Top, Bottom, And middle.
Hayden is not only a great player, but a great teacher. Now when I see a minor cliche in a song, I am no longer intimidated. I have options of which one I would like to use. :-)
I have grown as a musician because of Piano Groove, and Hayden.
