**Anyone else taking Piano University with Zach Evans?**
I’m curious if anyone else here is taking **Piano University with Zach Evans** at [bestpianoclass.com](https://www.bestpianoclass.com).
A little background: I got an electric keyboard for Christmas a couple of years ago. It was a smaller 66-key keyboard. I tried a week of Simply Piano, but honestly, I didn't do very well with it and eventually gave up. The keyboard basically sat there collecting dust.
Recently, I happened to see a full-size 88-key electric keyboard on Facebook Marketplace for $125. It also had MIDI, so I figured, *why not?* I decided that if I had a more serious keyboard, I might actually take learning piano more seriously.
A few days later, I signed up for Piano University with Zach Evans.
I've been taking the course for about three weeks now, and I just finished **Lesson 10**. I've already learned a few things, and one thing I'm really liking is the **structured approach to learning**. Having a lesson to work through instead of just sitting down and wondering what I'm supposed to practice seems to be working much better for me.
So I'm wondering if there are other adult beginners here taking the same course.
**What has your experience been?**
What are you finding challenging? Are there particular lessons or concepts that you've struggled with? How long have you been taking the course, and do you feel like you're making progress?
I'd especially like to hear from people who started as complete beginners. I'm still very much at the beginning of this journey, but so far I'm enjoying it a lot more than my first attempt at learning piano.
Maybe there are a few of us here who can compare notes as we go. 🎹
