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!
Great First course for me
