The cards played a great role in my understanding of the chords formation.
By GLEN RANSOME R.
Ordered a DVD that focused on singing that required a "one time pay." Noticed I was being charged monthly in my account. Called customer service and they informed me that when I ordered the singing DVD that I was "automatically" enrolled for a monthly subscription to a beginning piano course. This was done without my consent. I requested a refund and was denied. At that point, I decided I will never do business again with the company.

Hello Joe, thanks for your review. Back then (in 2013 when you ordered), we had a cd/dvd subscription that was optional. It gave you a few more bonuses and special pricing to try it but you could deny it on the order form with a yes/no checkbox. As technology has progressed, we no longer sell DVDS or CD subscriptions in lieu of digital courses and our online membership platform these days. However, we apologize for any inconveniences or miscommunications.
Excellent customer service and product. I will definitely return again.

Here and play is fantastic!! Highly recommend
By Jeff S.
I feel that the teaching makes seemingly complex theories simple and understandable. Whether beginners or advanced, there’s something for everyone. I have CD’s that I purchased and I simply have not had the time to dedicate to perfecting my technique. It’s me, not the site.

Sorry to hear this as we haven't sold cds in a while. While we may no longer have cds/dvds in our warehouse, we can certainly replace them with the digital versions of the same courses, plus throw in a few extra. Please reach out to us at [email protected] with your e-mail address and we'll start from there. Thank you.
I guess my comprehension is great, I know basic chords but left hand problems. Confusing at times.
