Love Bb Major
Great progression, scale fingering, and songs.
Learned so much and getting confidence back
Love the style of learning and applying it musically and learning grooves and accompaniment
Wonderful course!
First, I came to love the key of B flat. I have played in G Minor, a good bit, but never in B flat, and really like it. Also, I really enjoyed messing around with the inversions. Second, the song, PW J Ave., is a lot of fun to play. I will continue to work on it until I can get it up to the tempo of the accompanying track. Finally, I really enjoyed the accompaniment lesson. Swing is still a challenge for me and I thought the tips and instruction were really great.
Understanding chords at a new level.
Well that was fun! I hadn't touched the piano for over a decade so thought this would be good revision.It was much more than that, bringing my understanding of the structure around chords and chord progressions to a whole new level.
Fun but challenging!
I’m working my way through the scales starting from Beginner and these are starting to click and my progress is gradually getting faster!
