Piano In 21 Days

Great start with a fizzle finish

This course started out great and got me playing a catchy rhythm fast but after the first ten days, I didn’t find much useful. Teaching more chords that most people will never play (sus etc. chords) but not much in the way of playing songs. If you want to play along to songs you write, this could work for you but if you want more ideas on rhythm patterns then this isn’t for you. Overall I am disappointed with this course, a lot of money with not a lot of substance beyond ten lessons (five of which were given free before signing up, so in essence five lessons). I can play a basic rhythm but not as stylish as I’d like by a long shot. My advice is keep looking, there’s better out there.

I am so happy that I have decided to…

I am so happy that I have decided to make this investment in my lifelong dream of playing the piano. Jacque's passion and enthusiasm is contagious and though it takes hard work and lots of practice, working through the course with Jacques is incredibly satisfying. I still have a long way to go, but I love the journey - it is so enjoyable and exciting!

Lessons are clear with just the right amount to learn for each day's material. I love that I don't have to learn sheet music, only learning to accompany.

Woohoo! Piano In 21 Days!!!!!

I've been a drummer both professionally and casually for over 50 years. Drums are all I've known. I have wanted to learn how to play a more "musical" instrument for a long time. I have tried multiple online piano courses but found them to be a chore rather than enjoyable. I've found the answer in Piano In 21 Days. Jaques breaks it down and makes learning the piano way more fun! Now I look forward to moving through course. The only thing that bums me out is that with my work schedule I don't get to sit at the piano as much as I would like🤣. Thanks Jaques for being there on demand!

The lessons are very well constructed and clear. The handbook was also very useful as I took it with me when I had to travel out of town. The exercises are great reinforcement.

I like the sequence of lessons

I like the sequence of lessons and exercises for basic piano playing. I've been challenged to play each step/day lesson for the sequence of piano skills to be learned. I've only progressed to Day5 in the 'Piano in 21 Days'. I'm trying to be proficient at the 'medium' speed ('fast' is too much!). My age and dexterity is an issue. I'm looking forward to continuing with the 'Piano in 21 Days' (...guessing for the next 4+ months).

Piano in 21 Days has me hooked!

Jacques Hopkins' Piano in 21 Days has me hooked! Engaging, challenging, FUN exercises make it a joy to learn, practice, and (learn to) improvise. Jacques has a casual, personable teaching style and explains and demonstrates everything clearly and thoroughly. For me, this is more "Piano in 21 Lessons," rather than 21 Days, because I'm pokey AND I don't play every day (I know, I know ...) but it is enjoyable and effective, and has been worth every penny. Love it!

Why I started learnt the piano …

I started learning the piano as it was a family tradition for someone to play a bit. At 80 I took up this task. I liked the genuine interest shown towards my playing progress. Using my mobile phone the system works nicely as I the can practice in my spare time.

I learned amazing piano faster than I…

I learned amazing piano faster than I imagined! I highly recommend it!

Excellent explanation of each phase.

Never played a chord prior to this

I started out never playing a chord in my life on the piano, and now a little over a month since I started your program I'm playing some songs and getting a ton of enjoyment out of it. My wife and kids are pretty impressed with how far I've come in a month. :) This course really jump-started my journey with learning the piano.

Great way to learn to play.

Invest in Yourself

So I considered MANY online courses, including in-person instruction. Frustrated by the multitudes of online videos, I stumbled on Jacque's system and finally…finally, found what I believe is a universal approach to learning the piano. I can't emphasize enough how teaching and course preparation is a skill of its own, and Jacques as an instructor is a natural. I have no doubt anyone can learn and play using this system. You're not just learning notes, you're learning a chord based approach that gets you playing quickly, but more importantly, laying a sound foundation so your playing can evolve whether it be playing songs or in my case creating my own! And you're not left to fend on your own once you get the course. There's an online community of members at different skill levels should you have questions along the way. If you like, you can even share your progress on their Facebook page or forum. There's been a lot of work and thought behind this course and I'm really happy I took the plunge. One less item on the bucket list!

Great experience

Great experience. This course was presented in a very systematic way that created a very logical progression. This entire program was very well thought out. Thank you.

Piano for Beginners

I retired at 66 with no previous musical knowledge and decided I wanted to learn to play the piano. So after a few weeks of searching the internet for online courses, I opted for ‘Piano in 21 Days’ due to its excellent reviews. I read up on the course and found it suited me perfectly for what I wanted to achieve. I purchased a Yamaha P-45 Digital Piano, and then signed up for the Ultimate Package. I practiced 1 – 2 hours, 6 days a week and finished the main course in just short of 6 months, doing most of the ‘Hand Coordination Course’ midway through. I’m presently working my way through the ‘Melody & Ear Training’ course. I’m now at the stage of being able to play a tune within a few hours of downloading the chord sheet using the ‘Improvisation Tools’ that Jacques teaches you. I just need to learn how to sing now! All in all, I’d recommend this course to anyone that wants to play the piano without the hassle of having to be able to read music. If I can do it, anyone can. Thank you so much Jacques for a very enjoyable experience.

There are hundreds of “learning”…

There are hundreds of “learning” courses out there today. Anyone can make and create a course today. And yes, it is a bit expensive- I debated the cost myself. So what is the difference? While other courses seem to have the primary goal of selling you a course, Piano in 21 Days main goal is clear- for you to succeed at learning piano! Jacques goes above and beyond with follow-ups, access to him and his staff for help, and support from other students. The techniques taught and the way they are broke down are a huge advantage to the learning process. This is someone that is obviously passionate about piano, teaching it, and your success
