Key of A Minor – Jonny Darko

One of the challenges of being a beginner is exactly that you're a beginner--you don't have mastery yet or anything close to it--it can be hard to find the fun and joy in a newly-emerging skill when it all sounds like is a bow scraping on a violin or looks like another weak and out-of-bounds tennis serve. Jonny and Company, however, have found a way to give beginners at piano a sense of accomplishment early on with their series of lessons for beginners. In no time at all you find yourself jamming, comping, and playing songs with a variety of left-hand accompaniments. And the mildly astonishing part of this is that that aren't any seventh chords yet in the lessons (through early beginner)--it's all just triads so far, which on the face of it seems limiting at least from a jazz perspective, yet it turns out that great and fun music is possible with just three notes--this was a personal revelation, and my musical world has expanded. These are terrific lessons and anyone interested in progressing will find plenty of encouragement from both the instructors and the structure of the lessons. Highly productive lessons!

Great beginner course.

It sounds good and is approachable for a beginner

What an excellent explanation of what sounds complex by breaking down the elements of Inversions and moving Left hand patterns!!

I enjoyed doing the course. Explanation was clear, exercises were valuable.
