Another compelling arrangement!
I'm not that familiar with Disney films or their music, but I have been working on Bare Necessities 2 because of a walk-up that Jonny used in his arrangement that made me want to learn it! I noticed there were a couple of Disney Courses at PWJ and started with this song randomly. I really enjoy this arrangement and my wife enjoys listening to me work on it. I've never done any arranging of my own, but Jonny shares so many great tips and secrets that I gradually being drawn in! This piece is fun to play and sounds great! What more could a person ask for?
These Chords Keep Me Coming Back!!
This class helped to put some experience in place for recognizing the new chord I am learning. I'm working on the Mid-Intermediate Piano Foundations 5 where I am being exposed to chords at a fast rate. Slowing down to master and memorize a few of them gives me a hadnle for forming better memory for all twelve chords of the scale tones. The melody was so beautidully built with many slides, fillers and suggestions. I loved it!
Exhilarating!
This course builds on the skills learned in the beginner level course of Go the Distance. It explores additional arranging, voicing, and rhythm patterns coupled with subtle techniques that provide emotional nuances for a powerfully moving experience.
Emotionally Inspiring
This piece is so much fun to play, and just difficult enough to give a real sense of accomplishment. I love the emotional build from section to section and the joyful harmonies. Playing this for family and friends has been extremely rewarding, and I plan to keep it as part of my portfolio.
