I'm not able to follow the songs he provided. The explanation of the song is poor "if you were international student". The way he teach songs to play is not helping me at all. Even though, he provides Chord chart each lessons but I still "look at it" with no clue of how I use the information in keyboard. I know also watching his videos are not as helpful. Therefore, I email-ed him 5 days ago and receive NO respond YET. I'm very disappointed and I do not want to continue with the coures

I recommend you save your TIME & MONEY on other courses.

I want to thank James for putting this course together. It teaches piano from a contemporary perspective, which is a big improvement on traditional teaching. The tunes are very cool and there is a lot of easily digested downloadable material to help you out. The instructor is always available and patient with every enquiry. Well worth doing.
