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.
Awesome explanations
I love how Daine clearly explains how he approaches improvisation. After he plays something really sweet, he breaks it down step by step. He did a great job of making theory more fun to learn.
Challenging
Daine explains everything well, and challenges me with the tempo - the backing tracks are great for keeping me on tempo. I learn a lot in each course!
Key of Ab
As in the other courses….(ie: w/ YANNICK or JONNY himself)…things could not be explained better…seems like you guys wanna make a piano enthusiast of me
