Another solid fundamentals course
As always, these courses have material that seems very simple, but it's illuminating to see how much work it takes for me to get it just right.
Very involved lots of information and techniques
Lots to learn and work on. You could spend a lot of time here. Very necessary stuff.
Very engaging!!
Really enjoying breaking down these scales one by one!
Opposite hand coordination
I liked this one for the opposite hand coordination needed. It took a little while but was a very cool groove once I got it.
Insightful and helpful
I love that Daine frequently tosses in little bits of wisdom learned through his own experience. These casual comments may at first seem insignificant, but I often find them quite insightful and helpful in seeing the big picture. He also strongly encourages experimenting with the music, quite different from the pedagogy I experienced as a child when playing exactly as noted was the sole benchmark.
