Musiah Review: Absolutely Dumbfounded by Two Weeks of Progress
Can you really learn to read sheet music and play with both hands in just 14 days? Ali from Michigan admits he was an impatient student who had failed to learn piano in the past. In this raw reflection on his trial period, he explains how Musiah’s online piano lessons for beginners transformed his perspective on music theory—and his own patience—in record time.
Note: Since writing this review, Ali has completed the entire course. You can read his follow-up, Musiah Review: From Skeptic to 'Musiah' Rank in 10 Weeks o see how he transitioned from a beginner to playing original Beatles arrangements.
"Musiah is not only my piano teacher; but the process itself has actually transformed me personally."
Hi Brendan, Thank you so very much for your last reply to my questions.
I wanted to share with you my reflection on experiencing Musiah for the first two weeks.
It’s really hard for me to believe that in only two weeks, my 14 day trial period, Musiah was able to carry me from not knowing how to read sheet music properly to playing with both hands and even playing chords and triads that contain flats and sharps with my left hand.
One of the reasons I was never able to learn music theory or piano properly in the past is because I'm very impatient; this is something I'm not ashamed of admitting.
Breaking the Impatience Barrier: From Frustration to Level 6
Over the past two weeks, I used to get very frustrated and start huffing and puffing when I can't get a piece correctly. However, when I sit down and reflect over the fact that it’s only been two weeks since I started using Musiah and I'm already at level 6; I am absolutely dumbfounded by how revolutionary this product is.
More Than Software: A Transformation in Personal Discipline
In this regard, Musiah is not only my piano teacher; but the process itself has actually transformed me personally... because when you use a piano lessons app with a true AI teacher, it becomes more than just software—it becomes a living mentor.It has taught me to be patient and have respect for both the instrument and musical language that is sheet music. I can only happily imagine what my growth will be in a month, 6 months or even a year.
But what has really been my biggest realization so far is that the most important aspect of experiencing Musiah is the journey itself. I used to be able to finish 5 lessons in one day; now it takes me 2 days for one lesson to even just get 4 stars on a piece.
Without patience, this can be really painful. However, with appreciation and patience, this is exactly how musical growth and maturation should feel like.
A Living Mentor: Bridging the Gap Between AI and Human Support
As I progress beyond my trial period, I'm beyond grateful to have stumbled upon Musiah and you Brendan who, because of your impeccable patience and willingness to engage your students by email continuously without hesitation, you have successfully transformed Musiah from being an AI piano teacher, to actually a living human teacher and mentor.
Thank you very much…
Here is to great piano playing now and in the future!
