Excellent
It was fun but very challenging. I am an intermediate piano player, but I am visually impaired so I couldn’t use any lead sheets. Saying that, though my ear has got a lot better by learning to not only follow the course but memorize what John had to teach. Loved it!! Looking forward to more. Thanks so much.
Fantastic course!
