Love these foundation courses
I really like the way these foundation courses are taught. Very organized and structured. I have been struggling with other lesson sites and felt like I was making very little progress. When I joined PWJ I started back at the beginning to fill in any thing I missed from other courses. I already feel like I have progressed more in the last 4 months than I have in the past year. The courses cover everything from beginner to more advanced which makes it hard to complete the course if you try to master everything before moving on to the next course but is worth the time and effort. I'm sure I will progress through these foundation courses a little faster with each one I complete. I like to bounce around and learn different things to keep me motivated but I also like to have some structure to keep me on track, These foundation courses do just that.
Learned a lot!
So far, I've gone through 4 of these. I have learned something new every time. Hoping with more practice they will become more innate to me soon! Great explanation and clarity in lessons!
Worth starting from scratch
Even though I’ve been playing for years, I played from a classical perspective . Starting from the beginning with these lessons means I was able to establish a new foundation with a completely different set of ears. Well worth the time investment.
Keep building on those scales!
Before Piano with Jonny I just did scales up and down with both hands and quickly got bored. This approach is so much more rewarding and valuable! I’m still a biginner but each course builds my capabilities!
FUN !
I start getting the grip of how the Piano works by this lesson. maybe the repetions or just getting used to see the beautiful faces of these two teaches. thanks for being so patient with us !!!
