Nope! It won't be too hard. We start with the basics, to make sure you're reading like a grown up (and not using childish tricks). The trainings is concise, comprehensive and practice-oriented.
​

The Repertoire Refinery is full of hidden gems especially for intermediate students. Yes - Measure by Measure is great for intermediate students, all the way to early-advanced students.

A few members supplement their Measure by Measure subscription with an in-person piano teacher. Most people are fully in the DIY mode and don’t have a piano teacher. I’ll give you lots of resources and lenses that will help you fill the roll of teacher for yourself, so you know when you're doing things right.

Like any program, you get out what you put in. Decide what consistent practice looks like for you. If that’s twice a week, that’s a great place to start! My "4-Measure Promise" is this: If you can sit down and learn 4 measures of music, twice a week to start, you’ll see tremendous progress.

I keep you engaged during the month as I roll out new content and repertoire for the course, but you can work through it at whatever pace feels comfortable. If you have a busy month, just pick up where you left off or start a new piece - it's very flexible.

It is self-paced. I'm here to point you in the right direction and answer questions whenever you need.

Any piano or keyboard will work. Any device will do.

Yes. You need some device to access to the content - your phone will work, but a tablet or computer with a bigger screen is ideal.

To keep Measure by Measure reasonably priced, it is a subscription model. To access any of the content you’ll need a current subscription. You will lose access to the content after the end of your last-paid month of membership once you cancel. See the Terms of Service for more details.

Yes. You can cancel any time. After you cancel you won't be charged again.

There is no free trial unless specified above. There is no money-back guarantee.​ Your month-to-month payments are nonrefundable, but you can cancel any time.

Yes. $270 per year saves you $54 and grants you access to the Technique module.
​You can upgrade to annual at any time and it will prorate your current billing period towards the annual.

YouTube tutorials are almost always “learn by rote” experiences. They don’t foster your music literacy by requiring you to read.
You won’t find music like this on YouTube. The search-based “algorithm” means that YouTube pianists only teach the popular songs that everybody knows, regardless of whether or not those are actually good repertoire for the use of learning piano skills.
The Measure by Measure frameworks and principles that I reinforce with the unique repertoire are what set this apart from random YouTube lessons.

Mostly classical music.
You can apply the principles you learn to any other music. With this approach, you will see more carry-over than you can imagine.
I use classical music for a couple of reasons - one is to make sure that I comply with all copyright laws. Most programs illegally use copyrighted music without obtaining a license to use it.
My experience teaching piano for over 20 years also taught me that this music is the best venue for learning skills at the piano, regardless of your goals. If you want to play classical, jazz, pop, gospel, or anything in between, there is no disadvantage to learning classical music as your foundation, but huge disadvantages if you do not. It will only serve you in the long run.

Umm, yes! Like, that’s the whole thing.

Yes, there is a community feature to the program for asking questions and feedback opportunities. I consider the community a “perk”, not a core feature of the program. It’s there for us to use and I engage in it as best as I can, but it’s not required for your use of the program.

I answer every question that comes up in the community (give me a day or two), but I can’t guarantee that I’ll have time to personally answer every concern that comes up.
