After retiring last year, I finally pursued my longtime dream of learning piano and chose Piano In 21 Days because it promised a modern, no-fluff approach — and I hoped it would help me play the songs I loved in a way that sounded musical and true to the original. I spent about 2 hours a day, six days a week, working through the full course over four months — except for a couple of weeks I missed due to illness and a family emergency.Jacques does a good job teaching chords, progressions, inversions, and the basics of music theory. I now understand how to build and move between chords, which is valuable. But the course falls short on one major promise: learning to improvise songs so they sound musical and recognizable.By Day 17, I realized that real improvisation — creating a melody that fits a chord progression, has rhythm, and sounds like a song — is far more complex than the course prepares you for. It felt like being handed a few ingredients and told to cook a gourmet meal with no recipe. I learned improvisation techniques, but they are not enough to help me play the songs I want to play. And that’s a big letdown.Also worth noting: Many of the 5-star reviews online are from people who never finished the course, and most of the YouTube testimonials are several years old.The course gives you a decent foundation in chords, but if your goal is to actually sound like you're playing songs, you will end up disappointed. I came away with useful skills — but not the musical result I was truly aiming for.
Easy and Fun Piano LessonsAfter much contemplation, I enrolled in Jacques Hopkins' "Piano in 21 Days". I am so happy that I made that decision! I am thoroughly enjoying the lessons at my own pace and have already seen a big difference in my learning and understanding of the piano. I took conventional lessons in 3rd grade (70 years old now) and this is so much better! I am excited for my lessons and look forward to getting at my piano! Jacques is a patient, thorough teacher. Thanks to Jacques, my Mama's piano will "sing" again!
I have never played a musical instrument in my life but as I've gotten older I've decided I wanted to try. I got a keyboard for my 60th birthday and quickly realized I had no idea what to do next. I found Piano in 21 Days on line and thought I would give it a shot. I have loved every minute of it so far and am happy to say I am advancing at my own pace and am learning something new every day. I love the fact that you can go at your own pace and Jacques provides lots of resources to help you along the way. As I stated earlier, I'm advancing slowly but am looking forward to playing a full song in the near future!!
The Pianoin21days is very thoroughly and well laid out. It capitalizes on latest video overlaying technology to teach numerous concepts and facilitate the learning experience making tedious, boring and redundant piano practices more fun, informational and approachable. We don’t feel overwhelmed since the practice lessons focus more on practical concepts rather than excessive music theories and we could also commit the training lessons at our on practical pace. We feel that it is a great value since it comes comprehensively bundled with the essentials ‘playing by ears’, ‘finger yoga exercises’ and of course the extra lessons on classical and jazz lessons for continued future advanced learning. We highly recommend the program since it comes included with a 30 days risk free trial of full refund.
I highly recommend this course. Material was easy to follow and simplified for a new starter to understand. You obviously still need to practice. Being able to play tunes with backing tracks so early on in the course is motivating. I really enjoyed my time on this course and am glad I can revisit exercises. I gave myself 6m to go through the 21days with daily half hour practices and a new Day once a week due to time constraints, but it could definitely be completed sooner. Thanks Jacques.
I struggle for personal time. I am Ms Georgia Senior America 2023 and a professional vocal entertainer. I’ve taken piano lessons for years and have never achieved the level and fun I have had in less than 3 weeks. Sheet music frustrates me!!! This class is well written, logical and entertaining. I so look forward to it and I can see myself going over the class several more times just for fun. Super…super…super!!!!
