Send me your playing — get real feedback

You practice a lesson, you record it, you send it. My studio listens the way I do in a real lesson — notes, rhythm — and looks at your hand position, and you get personal, detailed feedback. This is how real progress happens.

1 · Record

Play the exercise or song from any lesson (1–41) of the free course. A simple phone recording is perfect — audio alone is enough. One request: just play — please don't count aloud or talk while recording. I listen to every sound, and a voice over the notes hides them. Anything you want to tell me goes in the note box. Want feedback on your hand position too? Film just your hands on the keys. Your face is never required.

2 · Send

Upload your recording right on this page — choose your lesson, tell me what felt difficult, and send. It takes one minute.

3 · Get feedback

Within about 48 hours you'll receive detailed feedback in your inbox: what's already working, what to fix first, and exactly how to practice it — my method, from my lessons.

What this costs

Nothing. It is free.

Send a recording and I will listen to it properly and write back — no charge, no card, nothing to cancel, and no limit on how often. I would rather hear a hundred people play than charge ten of them.

Every review is prepared in my studio with the help of an assistant trained on my own lessons, and I personally read and approve every one before it reaches you. If that ever stops being possible because too many of you are sending recordings, I will say so here first — I will not quietly start charging.

If you want more than a letter back

A written review tells you what to change. A live lesson lets me watch your hands and correct them in the moment. Most people who send me a recording are one or two habits away from a real jump.

Good to know

How to record so I can really hear you

Phone placement

Put the phone a little to the side of the piano, about an arm's length away — not on the piano itself (it buzzes). Quiet room, one take, no editing needed. Mistakes are welcome: they're exactly what feedback is for.

Hands-only video

Film from slightly above and to the side, so I can see your fingers and wrists on the keys. This lets me check your round hand, curved fingers and fingertip contact — the foundation of everything.

Your privacy

Recordings are used only to prepare your feedback — never published, never shared. Audio-only is completely fine. You choose how much to show.

Honest note

Feedback is prepared in my studio with the help of an AI assistant trained on my own lessons and method — and during this pilot I personally review every single feedback before it reaches you. You get my standards, faster.
