What is PWJ?
Piano With Jonny is an online piano lesson platform that provides the complete learning experience for pianists of all skill levels.
How does it work?
Once you sign up for membership, you will gain access to our all-access streaming lessons, along with all the tools you need to reach your piano goals.
What will I learn?
We teach lessons on foundational piano skills such as chords and scales to learn the "language" of music. We then apply these concepts to mastering styles such as blues, jazz, boogie, pop, gospel, funk, latin, swing, and ballads. Our lessons will help you play from a lead sheet, learn to improvise, accompany a singer, and improve hand coordination!
What do we offer?
- Weekly Office Hours - Hop on Zoom every Tuesday with one of our teachers to get your questions answered or to get feedback on your playing.
- Live Monthly Workshops - We teach 1-2 live workshops each month while students can ask questions.
- Student Assessment - You can submit a video with your question to our teachers and we will provide personalized feedback in the monthly Student Assessment.
- Q&A Submissions - You can submit your questions through our Student Engagement Portal, and our teachers will provide a video answer once a month.
- Monthly Challenges - Each month we host an optional challenge for members to participate it. We recognize the participants at the end of each challenge.
- Monthly Collaboration - We also host a student collaboration where students get to play along with Jonny and other students. We provide the instructions at the beginning of the month. Students can submit their videos to us and then we edit and publish the final video at the end of each month. It's great fun!
- Member Forum - A great place to engage in conversations with other students.
- Member Facebook - You can post videos of your playing for members & the PWJ staff to see. This is a very inspiring and supportive group!
- Live Student Recitals - We host live student recitals where our members perform live in front of an audience. This is great for improving your confidence in performing!
