Challenging but progressive
I enjoyed the progression, how we felt better step by step.
Fun Challenge
John Proulx is such a great teacher. He delivered the material in a clear concise way that made the goals of each lesson very achievable. Every detail was covered immaculately…now it is only a matter of practice for the student to get that muscle memory.
Fly me to the moon challenge--beginner
Good review. I'm committed to go through beginner, intermediate and advanced levels of each course. So, thank you for the course.
Soup to Nuts
Thanks again, John. A great intro to this beautiful piece, FMTTM.
By breaking the piece down to all its elements, then building into R/L hands with an example solo...who could ask for anything more?
I think most of us are eager to play off lead sheets, be able to introduce the tune, then wander off into a heartfelt and organized solo. A course like this takes us straight into that territory.
Totally useful and effective instruction. Thanks again, Brian Faleski
A challenge !
This was a fantastic course. So wonderfully put together. I really enjoyed it but what I didn’t enjoy was the massive struggle I had with the solo at the end. I think I am ‘rhythmically challenged’ !

Learn the classic tune Fly Me to the Moon at the intermediate level. We'll learn the complete arrangement with a few tasty tricks to spice it up for a final arrangement.
Master the jazz standard Fly Me to the Moon at the advanced level. We'll start with the basic lead sheet and learn how to make it our own with some pro-level jazz techniques!
