“Such a joyful music-making experience! It was empowering to see that with carefully selected tunes, exercises, and focused & guided practice you can tremendously expand your musicianship no matter at what level currently you are.”

“Mind blowing experience! Never imagined that daily practicing in front of the computer could be such a helpful and fun thing! Absolutely and highly recommend!”

“Ironically, GPS accelerated my learning in a way that individual lessons cannot. It's the pacing, the diversity of experiences, and the interactions. Super worthwhile.”
