This sounds like a fake review. They cost 200$ yearly to get the books or 30$ per month for online material. I guess the pricing may be ok for the US but for eastern Europe you can get learning materials for way less
Haha, I knew my post had the potential to be taken the wrong way...and its not $200 for 'books' but for hours upon hours of video learning material, live sessions with teachers, backing tracks for your practice songs, PDFs with practices for your particular lesson and so on. I‘m just really a fan of the site and wanted to share my experience, and no I haven’t been paid to write this text on my 5yrs old account with 100 karma. :)
p.s yes I‘m not a native speaker
While I do not speak on behalf of Pianote, there is definitely no paid shilling going on, it may be the case that the OP is a non-native english speaker, and in that way the tone comes across differently. As for the cost, I would definitely say Pianote's goal is to be a pianote lesson replacement, and in that way the content is cheaper, hopefully for a better/different experience than what you'd get taking sit down lessons
I got the books and I was _very_ (pleasantly) surprised by the quality of materials and the print. I think they alone could cost as much but you fet the access to the many hours of the quality online content. I thibk they really do care.
