Ridley Academy レビュー 

Great experience. Good timing, not too much, just right. Options of different times per day. Tons of enthusiasm and praise and patience in teaching.
A lot of fun. Highly recommended.

I have followed Stephen for several years. His passion for music, his beautiful story of how it all came together. I have viewed his 1 hour Sunday masterclass three times. This last time, he spoke to me. Stephen blends a love of music and piano, with mindfulness exercises, a growth mindset, and teaching people how to deal with their automatic negative thoughts (ANTs). His vulnerability and openness about his struggles is inspiring. Watching the masterclass this time was like attending a self-help seminar combined with a very approachable music lesson. This time he convinced me to invest in myself and this dream I have had since a child that was destroyed and my own ANTs. The pricing was really accessible for what you are getting, cutting out years from standard music lessons.

Yes I reviewed videos online about Stephen and the academy. After only seeing him for an hour, I knew a lot of the haters were full of it.

During the 5 day challenge, Stephen spoke directly to me after a question, and said I was on the right path. It brought me to tears as it has been a tough road lately, trying to bring positivity and self-care to a chronically stressed team is not easy and the negativity was weighing on me. I have been scared to let out my voice for thirty years and Stephen and the Ridley's team has got me singing again and finding my voice. I am forever grateful for the positive environment that Stephen and Ridley Academy creates and hope I can bring more positivity to the world through music.

Do this! Get through the upcoming winter with this master class and learn to play and enjoy the piano! This program is truly a gift. Stephen is such a inspirational teacher and human being! Become a musician today and a better person everyday after!

I cannot rave enough about Stephen & his amazing staff! As a beginning pianist, I could not play any real songs. Now I can play, accompany myself, perform with minor flourishes, and even do decent solos - all in only 5 days! 🤩

Now I'm motivated to continue learning and growing as a performing pianist. 😁 If you get the chance, take a class or 3 from Ridley Academy. You won't regret it.

Today was Amazing!!! I learned so much and it my first time playing a piano. I'm excited to see what this week will bring me. Thank you so very much Stephen and Academy!!! This world need more music at this time!!!

My second day I got so engaged that I almost forgot the time to pickup my grandson. When my grandson came over and saw me playing he wanted me to show him what I was doing. I did and he got so excited playing I had to make him go to bed, and after getting ready for school this morning he got back on the piano and played until it was time for me to take him to school. He has had piano lessons when he was younger he is 11 now, but he was so excited!!! That speaks volumes about this course. The excited that it created is Awesome!!! Thank you so much to Stephen and the Ridley Academy you make Dreams come true!!!

Wow! What an experience from scratch to using both hands to play a piano. And this, in just five days! Now, next is playing my songs, written over years but never played out! Thank you, Stephen and the entire Ridley Academy,

Wonderful music. I would love to be able to play like that. I will in the future with Stephen's help.

Stephen Ridley has created a brilliant course for learning how to play the piano SO quickly and easily! I studied piano for 3 years as a pre-teen and this exceeds everything i have ever learned about music! He breaks it down to such simple essentials that blow my mind and have made it possible for me to be able to just play songs - and improvise - without even using sheet music! I unequivocally recommend his Piano Masterclass (which can give you the opportunity to master the piano in 6-12 months investing 15 minutes a day!) and Easy Piano in Five Days (hopefully he will offer this crash course again, which he just offered for the first time in November 2025)...totally amazing and inspiring!

The ease of learning something very difficult! Loved this program! I learned how to play in 5 days!

Stephen Ridley Academy is top notch. Started The Master Class last January after several weeks had shoulder issues so I had to stop (from previous injuries), just had shoulder surgery some weeks ago so it's been difficult to fully participate in the 5-day challenge, but had to jump on the opportunity anyway and learning a great deal (it's an excellent course, especially for the discounted price). That said, a very unique approach.... Lord willing, once my shoulder heals up I hope to plow through it all and accomplish it. Thank you Stephen and crew. Godspeed.

My week with Ridley Academy has been one of the best experiences of my life. The enthusiasm and confidence building skills I've gained are priceless. The learning program, brilliantly created and implimented, took complex material and broke it down making it simple to grasp and easy to learn. The entire operation was first class and Avant-guard using the lasterst in technology with excellent and timlely support at every turn. I highly recommend anyone at any level go to Ridley to quickly and panlessly learn piano.

When I lost my ability to play the guitar due to arthritis in my hands, I felt lost as my guitars and I were inseparable and calling myself a musician seemed to fade away until I attended Stephen Ridley’s 5 day piano course. I have always admired pianists and always wanted to learn to play so when the opportunity came u to attend this class I jumped at the chance to do it. Over these past 5 days, I have come to realize that I have a new path to regain my musician status. Stephen has a way of explaining the art of playing the piano in clear steps and he makes it fun and something to look forward to. I am now on a path with Stephen’s help to regain my musician status through the piano. Thank You Stephen.

I love Ridley’s academy I got a lot out of the five day course that Stephan put together, I love his charisma and enthusiasm he makes you wanna learn more , I’ve learned a lot from his courses, he makes it very enjoyable and entertaining it’s good to learn from someone so knowledgeable and loves what he’s doing that’s why I’ve joined the mentorship and looking forward to what he and his staff can teach me to become a better musician , Thank You Stephen and Staff. ❤️

Having a fantastic time learning piano from Stephen. He is so full of beautiful emotion, great energy and smiles. He makes learning a real pleasure. Stephen has mastered the language of piano playing and making it simple for his students. No regrets. He is a genius.

Ridley Academy is the best. Every step is a short video. I am learning one understandable step at a time and each video builds on the previous one. You learn at your own speed. I have complete confidence in myself with each lesson learned. They also have a mentor program if you learn better that way and it is amazing. I would recommend Ridley Academy to anyone who wants to play the piano.

What made my experience worth the while at Ridley Academy? Is the lessons are simplified to learn quicker and a lot easier to understand. Stephen and his staff are constantly there to guild and help you learn to play like a real professional piano player. Love it.

Ridley Academy is the best investment I did to myself buying masterclass. Everything is well organized and easy to learn piano with so many short cuts that makes easier and faster to learn. This is such a great community that you want to be part of!! A lot of beautiful collaborations, support and friendship blossomed from this community. This 5 days piano lesson it was amazing experience that makes you feel like you can do anything, even you never play piano or sing, After every day life practice with Stephen with 5 days I started believe that i can do it playing piano or even sing mine songs that I never thought about it, I thought I have to be talented to do that. Now i know thank to Stephen and all the Ridley Academy team that i can play piano become a musician if this will be my goal. Thank you so much you are amazing, awesome stories and unforgettable greatest music i ever heard. Love it, 🥰❤️

What a delight. I learned how to play 10 songs on the piano - really well - in 5 days! This is by far one of the best experiences I have ever had learning music. You can tell that Steven genuinely cares and has poured himself into making this academy the best it can be. I do not regret a single dollar or minute I have spent on this program. I will be using the things he taught me for the rest of my life to make music. Thank you!

I joined the learn piano in 5 days challenge and I couldn’t be more impressed by the level of commitment from Stephen and his team. His enthusiasm pours out of the screen and the lessons are easy to follow. Thanks for a great experience!
