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.
Really fun and.. Disney
