very challenging for an intermediate player
Thought Id have a go at the intermediate advanced version (im currently at level 5/6) and discovered that if I keep practicing this for about 6 months I might get it up to speed! So I'm slightly disillusioned and think Ill tackle the beginner intermediate version of these challengers next time.
Fly Me To the Moon monthly Challengs
These monthly challenges are definitely challenging! I like how each month challenge is so different with a whole new type of music to try out. Also, learning to memorize these pieces can give a repertoire to play without sheet music.
Fly Me to the Moon Challenge
Another great course. I'm going through each one. Thank you.
Amazing learning materials
I went through your courses on Fly Me To The Moon, Autumn Leaves, and Summertime. They were all fantastic, I really appreciate the methodical way you break down the process from lead sheet to full arrangement. Would really really love to see more of these courses on jazz standards, the others I see on the site are mostly Christmas tunes. Thank you so much!!
Inspiring!
Very fun, challenging. I learned a lot and am inspired to keep learning more tunes like this.
