brilliantly taught
The course is beautifully organized and paced, with John Proulx practicing with us and showing us how to step-by-step analyze each chord and play them through the circle of 5ths, and then giving us a tune he composed using the skills we had just learned and applying them to the tune. After that, we are encouraged to improvise, putting together all of the elements learned - brilliant!
